Relyon Lymo 225 Insecticide 20L – Methomyl Group 1A Crop Insecticide

Relyon Lymo 225 Insecticide 20L: Methomyl Crop Insecticide for Broad-Spectrum Pest Control 

Relyon Lymo 225 is a professional agricultural insecticide with the active constituent 225g/L methomyl, a Group 1A carbamate and anti-cholinesterase compound, supplied in a 20 litre pack. It's a broad-spectrum product used to control insect pests across a range of crops, as set out in the product's Directions for Use, and it's formulated with a methanol solvent (593g/L). It's an agricultural crop insecticide rather than a home or garden product, so it's used and applied in line with the registered label.

Methomyl works quickly on contact and through ingestion as insects feed, giving fast knockdown across the pests and crops listed on the label. Because it's a carbamate that acts on the insect's nervous system, it stays useful as part of a rotation with insecticides from other chemical groups.

Product Details

• Active constituent: 225g/L methomyl (an anti-cholinesterase compound)

• Solvent: 593g/L methanol

• Chemical group: Group 1A insecticide (carbamate)

• Pack size: 20 litres

• Use: control of insect pests in various crops, as specified in the Directions for Use

Application

Methomyl is applied as a spray to the crop at the rates set out on the label for the target pest, so mixing and timing follow the registered Directions for Use rather than a general figure. Good coverage and correct timing when pests first appear give the best result. As with any crop insecticide, apply it when conditions are calm to avoid spray drift, and follow the label for rates, water volumes and any interval to observe between spraying and harvest.

Safety and Handling

Lymo 225 is a scheduled poison and should be handled with care. It's toxic if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through the skin, and the methanol solvent adds flammability, so keep it away from heat and ignition sources. It's toxic to bees and very toxic to aquatic life, so don't spray plants in flower while bees are foraging, and keep it well away from dams, waterways and drains.

Handle it only with the personal protective equipment specified on the label, avoid contact with skin and eyes, and avoid breathing vapour or spray mist. Store it in the closed original container in a secure, well-ventilated place away from children, food, feed and waterways. Follow the label and SDS for first aid and spill procedures, and in an emergency contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
