PROCLAIM INSECTICIDE 600g

PROCLAIM® Insecticide 600g is a Syngenta Group 6 insecticide formulated for targeted control of key caterpillar pests in selected vegetable and grape crops. It contains 44 g/kg emamectin, present as emamectin benzoate, and is supplied as a water-soluble granule formulation.

PROCLAIM is registered for control of Diamondback Moth (Cabbage Moth) and Cabbage White Butterfly in brassica vegetables, Lightbrown Apple Moth and Grapevine Moth in grapes, and Heliothis (Helicoverpa) in capsicum, lettuce, sweet corn and tomatoes.

Suitable for professional crop protection programs across Australia, PROCLAIM provides growers with a specialised insecticide option for managing damaging Lepidopteran larvae.

What It Does

PROCLAIM targets feeding caterpillar larvae that can damage foliage, fruit and developing crops. Emamectin has translaminar activity, allowing the active ingredient to move through treated leaf tissue where feeding larvae can encounter it. Ingestion is an important route of activity, with affected larvae becoming paralysed and stopping further feeding damage.

The product should be applied at the early stages of pest infestation and according to local pest thresholds and the registered product label.

Active Ingredient & Mode of Action

• Active constituent: 44 g/kg emamectin

• Active form: Emamectin present as emamectin benzoate

• Insecticide group: Group 6

• Formulation: Water-soluble granules

• Primary activity: Control of susceptible caterpillar larvae

• Mode of action: Acts on the insect nervous system, resulting in paralysis and cessation of feeding

• Resistance management: Rotate with insecticides from different mode-of-action groups as part of an appropriate resistance management program

The current Syngenta classification lists PROCLAIM as a Group 6 insecticide.

Target Pests

PROCLAIM Insecticide is labelled for control of:

• Diamondback Moth / Cabbage Moth (Plutella xylostella)

• Cabbage White Butterfly (Pieris rapae)

• Heliothis / Helicoverpa (Helicoverpa armigera and H. punctigera)

• Lightbrown Apple Moth

• Grapevine Moth

Registered crops include brassica vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower, along with capsicum, lettuce, grapes, sweet corn and tomatoes.

PROCLAIM Insecticide Dosage & Application

Always use PROCLAIM according to the registered product label. Label rates vary by crop and pest pressure:

• Brassica vegetables: 250–300 g/ha

• Capsicum and lettuce: 150–250 g/ha

• Grapes: 15 g per 100 L for dilute spraying

• Sweet corn: 150–250 g/ha

• Tomatoes: 150–250 g/ha

• Trellised tomatoes – dilute spraying: 15–25 g per 100 L

For brassicas, apply in a minimum of 400 L water/ha. For grapes, use a minimum of 250 L water/ha. Thorough crop coverage is important because PROCLAIM is not systemic.

PROCLAIM Insecticide Dose Per Litre

Where the label specifies a dilute rate:

• 15 g/100 L = approximately 0.15 g per litre

• 25 g/100 L = approximately 0.25 g per litre

These per-litre equivalents only apply where the registered label specifies a g/100 L dilute-spray rate. Other crops are treated using a rate per hectare, so the correct crop-specific label directions must be followed.

How to Use PROCLAIM Insecticide

Add the required quantity of PROCLAIM to a partly filled spray tank, then add the remaining water while mixing. Apply using correctly calibrated equipment to achieve thorough and even coverage of the target crop.

For best results, treatments should generally target early infestations and small larvae. The label specifies crop-specific application limits and resistance-management requirements, so avoid exceeding the permitted number of applications.

Withholding Periods

According to the registered PROCLAIM label:

• Brassica vegetables: 3 days

• Capsicum: 3 days

• Lettuce: 3 days

• Tomatoes: 3 days

• Sweet corn: 3 days

• Grapes: 8 weeks

Additional grazing and stock-feed restrictions apply to treated crops and should be followed exactly as stated on the product label.
