CRUISER SB can be co-applied with FORCE ST.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
CRUISER SB contains thiamethoxam a neo-nicotinoid insecticide. There are no known cases of resistance to thiamethoxam or other neo-nicotinoid insecticides in the UK to date for any of the pests listed on this label. However, the possible development of resistance cannot be excluded or predicted and control may be reduced if strains of pest resistant to thiamethoxam or other neo-nicotinoids develop.

For advice on resistance management refer to the latest Insecticide Resistance Action Group (IRAG) guidelines.

Since the occurrence of resistance cannot be forecast, neither Syngenta Crop Protection UK Limited nor its distributors can accept responsibility for any loss or damage to crops caused by the failure of CRUISER SB to control resistant strains.

PESTS CONTROLLED
CRUISER SB is a broad spectrum treatment, containing the neo-nicotinoid insecticide thiamethoxam, for the control of aphid vectors of virus yellows and a range of foliar and soil pests attacking sugar beet and fodder beet seedlings (including springtails, millipedes, symphilids, beet leaf miner/mangold fly, pygmy beetle and flea beetle) and improves crop establishment by reducing damage by wireworms.

In situations where very high populations of soil pests are present, the level of protection given by CRUISER SB may be inadequate to achieve an optimum plant stand.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Crops
Sugar beet and fodder beet

Timing
Before drilling

Rate of use
Apply 100 ml CRUISER SB per unit of seed (1 unit = 100,000 seeds)

Application
CRUISER SB must only be applied to sugar beet and fodder beet seed as part of the normal commercial pelleting process using special treatment machinery.

Agitate container thoroughly before use e.g., by rolling containers on a level floor bearing in mind the following warning. Containers of greater than 20 litres capacity should be handled only with mechanical assistance.

The container should be connected to the seed treater suction hose using the dry break coupling provided.

Storage after Treatment
Seed should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated building. Ideally treated seed should be used in the season of treatment. It is not recommended to store CRUISER SB treated seed for longer than 18 months.

Seedbed Preparation And Drilling

Seed drills must be suitable for use with polymer-coated seeds. If in any doubt, refer to the drill manufacturer. Treatment with CRUISER SB does not alter the physical characteristics of pelleted seed and no change to standard drill settings should be necessary.

Prepare a firm, even seedbed. CRUISER SB is not known to have any adverse effect on seed germination or crop emergence but poor seed quality or seedbed conditions (waterlogged, capped, dry, fluffy or cloddy seedbeds) may result in delayed emergence and/or poor establishment. Similarly, avoid deep or shallow drilling which can adversely affect crop establishment and may reduce the level of pest control.

Herbicides
Herbicides containing the active ingredient lenacil should not be used pre-crop emergence on fields drilled with seed treated with CRUISER SB. Other approved herbicides may be applied pre-emergence of the crop. Approved herbicides may be used as recommended post emergence of the crop.

Seed spillages
In case of seed spillage, clean up as much as possible into the related seed sack and re-use the clean seed. Bury or remove the remainder completely.

After use
Dispose of product concentrate, empty containers and contaminated seed bags according to the “Code of Practice for using plant protection products” available from DEFRA. Do not re-use containers for any purpose.

SEED BAG LABEL
This seed has been treated with CRUISER SB
CRUISER SB contains thiamethoxam a broad spectrum neo-nicotinoid insecticide seed treatment for the control of a range of foliar and soil pests attacking sugar beet and fodder beet seedlings.

In situations where very high populations of soil pests are present, the level of protection given by CRUISER SB may be inadequate to achieve an optimum plant stand.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT HANDLE seed unnecessarily.
KEEP TREATED SEED SECURE from people, domestic stock/pets and wildlife at all times during storage and use.
HARMFUL TO GAME OR OTHER WILDLIFE. Treated seed should not be left on the soil surface. Bury or remove spillages.
DO NOT RE-USE SACKS OR CONTAINERS THAT HAVE BEEN USED FOR TREATED SEED for food or feed.
TREATED SEED MUST NOT BE USED as food or feed.
TREATED SEED MUST NOT BE BROADCAST.
WASH HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN before meals and after work.

NOTES
1 Drilling
Seed drills must be suitable for use with polymer-coated seeds. If in any doubt, refer to the drill manufacturer. Treatment with CRUISER SB does not alter the physical characteristics of pelleted seed and no change to standard drill settings should be necessary. Check drill calibration before drilling each batch of seed to ensure an accurate drilling rate.

2 Storage
Seed should be stored in a cool, dry, well ventilated building. Ideally treated seed should be used in the season of treatment. It is not recommended to store CRUISER SB treated seed for longer than 18 months.

3 Seed spillages
In case of seed spillage, clean up as much as possible into the related seed sack and reuse the clean seed. Bury or remove the remainder completely.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(a) Operator protection
Engineering control of operator exposure must be used where reasonably practicable in addition to the following Personal Protective Equipment:
WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS) AND SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling the concentrate, calibrating or cleaning machinery, and when handling contaminated surfaces or dealing with spillages.
WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS) when bagging treated seed.
WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS), SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES
AND SUITABLE RESPIRATORY PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT# when cleaning machinery

# i.e. disposable filtering facepiece respirator to EN 149 FFP3(S) or equivalent.

However, engineering controls may replace personal protective equipment if a COSHH assessment shows they provide an equal or higher standard of protection.
WASH HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN after cleaning and re-calibrating equipment.
