Application Information
Alias 240 SC can be applied to seed using on-farm and commercial seed treatment equipment. Mix thoroughly and
ensure seed is conspicuously coloured at the time of treatment. Treated seed may reduce seed flow in seed drill.
Recalibration of seed drill may be required.
How it Works
Imidacloprid provides protection from damage caused by chewing and sucking insects through contact and systemic
activity.
Restrictions
Do not apply any subsequent applications of a Group 4 insecticide (eg. foliar application) following a seed treatment
application with Alias 240 SC. Do not use treated seed for food or feed.
Grazing
:
Do not graze or feed livestock in treated areas for four weeks after planting.
Environmental Precautions
Imidacloprid is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and fish. Keep out of lakes, streams, ponds or other aquatic systems.
Spilled or exposed seeds must be incorporated into the soil or cleaned-up from the soil surface. Left over treated seed
should be double sown around the headland, or buried away from water sources such as lakes, streams, ponds or
other aquatic systems.
