resistant to the remedy, as well as the method, time and accuracy

of the application. The registration holder furthermore does not

RESISTANCE WARNING:

For resistance management purposes SUPER GUARD 50 EC is

classified as a Group Code 1B + 3A insecticide. Any insect population

may contain individuals naturally resistant SUPER GUARD 50 EC and

other Group Code 1B + 3A insecticides. The resistant individuals can

eventually dominate the insect population if these insecticides are used

repeatedly.

SUPER GUARD 50 EC or any other Group 1B + 3A insecticide may

not control these resistant insects. To delay insecticide resistance:

• Avoid exclusive repeated use of insecticides from the same insecticide Group Code.
• Alternate or tank mix with products from different insecticide Group Codes,
• Integrate other control methods (chemical, cultural, biological) into insect control programmes. For specific information on resistance management, contact AVIMA(Pty) Ltd.
