APPLICATION
Ensure that the hopper on the application equipment is large enough to accommodate the full container content and that the amount dispensed is not more than is required for the area to be treated.

Surefill operating instructions: This is a ‘one shot’ container; all contents to be used in one operation. This container should only be used in conjunction with a suitable adaptor fitted to the hopper lid.

1. Break the green seal and remove the safety caps from the valve and applicator hopper.
2. Fit the container valve on to the applicator hopper.
3. Rotate the container anti-clockwise to start the flow of product.
4. When emptying is complete, rotate the container clockwise.
5. Remove the container from the applicator hopper.
6. Replace the safety caps on the applicator hopper and valve.
7. Return the empty containers to your supplier for refilling. Do not rinse out container. The red seal should not be broken.
8. Empty containers must be handled, transported and stored as if they contain pesticide.

Depth of incorporation is important for optimum efficacy. NEMATHORIN 10G granules should be incorporated to a depth of 10–15 cm. Incorporation to a greater depth than 10-15 cm will reduce efficacy of PCN control.

Application and incorporation is best achieved using equipment such as Horstine Farmery MICROBAND or TMair, Matco or Stocks-Micrometer or TechNeat Maxicast applicators together with a rear-mounted powered rotary cultivator.

Powered rotary cultivators are the preferred implement for incorporation but discs, power, spring tine or Dutch harrows can be used provided that two passes are made at right angles to each other.

Application with Stone Separating Equipment
Where application of NEMATHORIN 10G granules is to be done at the same time as stone separation, the granules should be applied through a Horstine Farmery MICROBAND applicator fitted with fishtail spreaders with a distance of 30 cm between centres fixed to the frame of the stone separator. The fishtail spreaders should be positioned as far forward as possible and ideally to achieve optimum placement and depth of incorporation should be placed above the first roller/web. It may be necessary to adjust the position according to the soil type and conditions. It is important that the applicator is positioned so that the granules are uniformly incorporated to a depth of 10–15 cm. INCORPORATION TO A GREATER DEPTH WILL CAUSE A REDUCTION IN CONTROL.

IMPORTANT
DO NOT ALLOW THE GRANULES TO BECOME WET OR DAMP BEFORE APPLICATION.

DO NOT ALLOW THE GRANULES TO STAND OVERNIGHT IN THE APPLICATION HOPPER.

Ensure that the hopper and rotators are clean and dry before use.

Application equipment should be calibrated prior to use to ensure accurate dosing and incorporation.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT CLEANING PROCEDURE
Ensure that no or only a minimal quantity of product remains in the hopper after field application. Upon completion, place suitable receptacles over the delivery tubes, crank the applicator and collect the remaining granules. Comply with operator safety measures during these manipulations. The granules collected should be disposed of in appropriate chemical waste.

STORAGE
Keep dry and frost proof in a suitable pesticide store between 0 and 32°C.

SYMPTOMS OF POISONING
The active ingredient fosthiazate inhibits cholinesterase, resulting in stimulation of the nervous system, the parasympathetic nervous system and the somatic motor nerves. The symptoms may include excessive sweating, headache, weakness, faintness and giddiness, nausea, stomach pains, vomiting, small pupils, blurred vision, muscle twitching. First aid measures are aimed at reactivating cholinesterase and eliminating exposure.

FIRST AID TREATMENT
If any of the above symptoms occur, particularly if there is known contamination.

STOP WORK

Remove contaminated clothing. Wash exposed skin and hair. Prevent all exertion. Call doctor AT ONCE and show him this label.

Following an oral exposure, induce vomiting. Administer water freely and induce vomiting by giving one dose of syrup of ipecac (15 ml). If vomiting does not occur within 10 to 20 minutes, administer a second dose. If syrup of ipecac is not available, induce vomiting by touching the back of the throat with a finger. Do not induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Consult a doctor/medical service.

Following a dermal exposure, the skin should be washed with copious amounts of tap water and soap. Contaminated clothing and footwear should be removed. Consult a doctor/medical service.

Following inhalation exposure, leave the contaminated area immediately and move to fresh air. Consult a doctor/medical service.

Following ocular exposure, remove any contact lens at once. Eyes should be immediately irrigated with copious amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Irrigation should not be delayed for the purpose of obtaining sterile or special irrigating solutions. If pain, swelling or photophobia persists, the individual should submit to an ophthalmologic examination.

GUIDE TO DOCTOR
Initial Measures:
Initial measures would include establishment of a patient airway, removal of secretions, and respiratory resuscitation as needed.

In the absence of cyanosis, atropine sulphate should be given intravenously in doses of 2 to 4 mg. When cyanosis is present, this dose of atropine should be given intramuscularly while simultaneously initiating measures for improving ventilation.

Atropine administration should be repeated at 5 to 10 minute intervals until signs of atropine toxicity (dry, flushed skin, tachycardia, pupillary dilatation) appear. Some degree of atropinization should be maintained for at least 48 hours.

Reactivation of Cholinesterase
Pralidoxime chloride (2-PAM; Protopam chloride) will reactivate cholinesterase, and may be effective as an adjunct to atropine. In adults, inject an initial dose of 1 to 2 grams of 2-PAM, preferably as an infusion in 100 ml of normal saline, over a 15 to 20 minute period. If this is not practical or if pulmonary oedema is present, the dose should be given slowly by intravenous injection as a 5% solution in water over not less than 5 minutes. After about 1 hour, a second dose of 1 to 2 grams will be indicated if muscle weakness has not been relieved. Additional doses should be given cautiously if muscle weakness persists. If intravenous administration is not feasible, intramuscular or subcutaneous injection should be used.

It should be noted that although 2-PAM is an effective reverser of unaged phosphorylated acetylcholinesterase, its protective action is limited when used alone. In general, 2-PAM treatment alone offers little protection against cholinesterase inhibition, while the combination of atropine and 2-PAM may offer synergistic protection. Specifically, for fosthiazate poisoning in rats, atropine alone increased the LD50, while 2-PAM alone had little effect on the LD50. The combination of atropine and 2-PAM did not appear to be more effective than atropine alone with respect to increasing the LD50 of technical fosthiazate in rats.

Substances such as morphine, epinephrine, tranquillisers and theophylline are contraindicated.

Watch for pulmonary oedema, which may develop in serious cases of poisoning even after 12 hours. At first signs of pulmonary oedema, the patient should be placed in an oxygen tent and treated symptomatically.
