BROMOPROPYLATE

Description

Introduction and Mode of Action: Bromopropylate is a non-systemic, contact acaricide from the benzylate group, used to control the spider mite in sugar beet, the oriental yellow mite, and the red mite in citrus. It penetrates plant tissues to control mites and has a strong knockdown effect with long residual activity.

Usage and Application Rates:

Pre-harvest Interval:
The interval between the last spraying and harvest is 21 days.

Application Management:

This pesticide has long-lasting effects and is used at high doses for mites resistant to organophosphate pesticides. Avoiding early spraying minimizes the risk of adverse effects on predatory mites. This acaricide is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides.

Application Method:
Select and calibrate a suitable sprayer. Dissolve the recommended amount of pesticide in a small quantity of water, then add this solution to a half-filled sprayer tank. While stirring, add the remaining required water. The sprayer tank agitator must operate during both solution preparation and spraying.

Precautions:

• Avoid ingestion of the pesticide, contamination of human and animal food, skin, eye, or clothing contact, inhalation of pesticide particles, and eating or drinking during spraying.
• Wear protective clothing, a hat, goggles, a mask, boots, and non-permeable gloves during spraying. After application, wash clothes and body thoroughly.
• Strictly avoid smoking during spraying.
• Do not reuse pesticide containers. Empty containers must be stored away from water sources and disposed of in accordance with national environmental regulations.
• Transportation of this pesticide must comply with international hazardous materials regulations.

Storage Conditions:

• Store the pesticide in its original packaging, out of the reach of children and animals, in closed warehouses away from sunlight, moisture, and livestock.
• Storage temperature should be between 10°C and 35°C.
• Once the pesticide seal is opened, its shelf life and effectiveness may decrease.
• Avoid storing the pesticide in aqueous solution form.

Symptoms of Poisoning and First Aid:

Symptoms include eye, skin, and respiratory irritation, dizziness, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and vision disturbances. If the pesticide solution contacts the skin or face, immediately wash the affected area several times with soap and water. If poisoning symptoms occur, seek medical attention and show the pesticide label to the doctor.

Environmental Toxicity:

• Bromopropylate is hazardous to birds, bees, and fish.
• Remove livestock and poultry from the area before application and prevent grazing in freshly treated areas.
• Avoid contaminating drinking water sources, stagnant or underground water with the pesticide or its solution.
• Do not wash pesticide application equipment near rivers or running water.
