Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed:

Treatment:
• Treat symptomatically.

RESISTANCE WARNING:

When insecticides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field,
naturally occurring less sensitive strains may survive, propagate and become dominant in that field. An insect
is considered resistant to an insecticide if it survives a correctly applied treatment at the recommended dose
and timing under normal weather conditions and a validation test with a suitable bioassay confirms the lack of
activity. When resistance occurs, recommended rates fail to suppress the pest population below economic
thresholds. Development of resistance can be avoided or delayed by alternating or mixing products having
different modes of action. For additional information on insect resistance monitoring, visit the Insecticide
Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at (http://www.irac-online.org).

BENEVIA® 100 OD is an IRAC Group 28 Insecticide (ryanodine receptor modulator - diamide).

BENEVIA® 100 OD, Approved English label, Page 3 19 March 2020

Repeated and exclusive use of BENEVIA® 100 OD, may lead to the build-up of resistant strains of insects in
some crops. Some insects are known to develop resistance to products used repeatedly for control. Because
the development of resistance cannot be predicted, this product may be used as part of resistant
management strategies established for the use area. These strategies may include incorporation of cultural
and biological control practices, alternation of mode-of-action classes of insecticides on succeeding
generations and targeting the most susceptible life stage. Consult your local or area agricultural authorities
for details, and follow the recommended IRAC guidance for use of ryanodine receptor modulator – diamide
insecticides (http://www.irac-online.org).

Best practices for resistance management of Group 28 insecticides include:

• Avoid using the same mode of action (same IRAC group number) on consecutive generations of insect
pests.
• Make no more than 2 applications of BENEVIA® 100 OD, or any other product containing a Group 28
insecticide within a “treatment window”. The following application to the target pest(s) in the next
“treatment window” must be with an effective product with a different mode of action (non-Group 28
insecticide).
A “Treatment Window” is the period of residual activity provided by a single or sequence of product
applications with the same mode of action within an approximate 30 day period (15 - 40 days depending on
local developmental time from egg to adult). Ideally the “Treatment Window” should approximate the length of
a generation of the target pest.
• Avoid using less than the labelled rates of BENEVIA® 100 OD, when applied alone or in tank mixtures.
• Target the most susceptible insect life stages, Monitor insect populations for product effectiveness. If
resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other products with a similar mode of action,
may not provide adequate control.
• If poor performance cannot be attributed to improper application or extreme weather conditions, a resistant
strain of insect may be present. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause,
immediately consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for the best alternate method of
control for your area.
For additional information on insect resistance monitoring, visit the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee
(IRAC) website (http://www.irac-online.org).

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: USE ONLY AS DIRECTED

GENERAL INFORMATION:

BENEVIA® 100 OD is an insecticide used for the control of chewing and sucking insect pests in a range of
crops. Activity on pest insect larvae is primarily by ingestion, but also by contact. The product also shows
ovicidal, ovi-larvicidal and adulticide efficacy, depending upon the pest species. Exposure of the pest species
typically results in rapid feeding cessation within a few hours of exposure, however the time to death may
take 3 to 6 days, depending upon the species.

Monitor insect populations and apply BENEVIA® 100 OD according to the label instructions when locally
determined economic thresholds are reached. Follow the label recommendations precisely for dosage rates,
spray intervals and the optimum timing for application,

BENEVIA™ 10 OD can be used on all varieties of the crops that are labelled.

USE OF ADJUVANTS:

The use of Trend 90 or H & R Crop Oil as prescribed under DIRECTION FOR USE table can offer enhanced
pest control when added to BENEVIA® 100 OD. Follow the directions on the manufacturer's label.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

SHAKE THE BOTTLE (CONTAINER) THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE

Prior to application, start with clean, well-maintained application equipment. BENEVIA® 100 OD mixes
easily with water and should be added directly to the spray tank during filling. Fill spray tank 1/4 to 1/2 full of
water. Add BENEVIA® 100 OD directly to spray tank. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse the insecticide,
continue agitation until spraying is complete.
The ideal pH for the BENEVIA® 100 OD spray mixture must be pH 7 or less. It is not recommended to store
the spray mixture overnight in the spray tank.

COMPATIBILITY:

BENEVIA® 100 OD should not be mixed with other agrochemicals unless such chemicals are listed on this
label.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT:

Special care must be taken to avoid spray drifts outside the target area, or onto ponds, waterways or ditches.
Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly or
under unfavourable environmental conditions. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a
sprayer is suitable for the intended application, is configured properly, and that a drift is not occurring.

SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT:

Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all spray equipment to reduce the risk of forming
hardened deposits which might become difficult to remove.

Drain spray equipment. Thoroughly rinse sprayer and flush hoses, boom, and nozzles with clean water.
Clean all other associated application equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning
equipment. Do not clean near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in
accordance with local chemicals waste regulations.

RESTRICTIONS:

Do not apply to crops under stress.

APPLICATION

Apply BENEVIA® 100 OD as a high volume full cover application with conventional spray equipment which is
correctly calibrated to provide thorough coverage of the target crop and correct dosage rate per hectare. In
