Insecticide Resistance Warning

For insecticide resistance management Talstar 80 SC is a Group 3A insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Talstar 80 SC and other Group 3A Insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if Talstar 80 SC or other Group 3A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Talstar 80 SC on resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, FMC Crop Protection Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Talstar 80 SC to control resistant insects.

Talstar 80 SC may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, FMC Crop Protection Pty Ltd representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
