❚ Soil penetrant carries product through<br />
the thatch layer<br />
❚ Assists movement of the carbendazim<br />

earthworm suppression<br />

Adjuvants are materials that can be tank-mixed with pesticides<br />
to enhance their performance, though they themselves do not<br />
have any pesticidal activity.<br />
Sward is an adjuvant produced specifically for the amenity<br />
market to assist in the suppression of casting earthworms. It is<br />
formulated for use as a tank-mix with approved carbendazimcontaining<br />
products, such as Mascot Systemic, and is a fully CRD<br />
approved adjuvant. The effectiveness of carbendazim in<br />
suppressing worms is very much linked to its availability to worms.<br />
Sward enables the carbendazim to penetrate through the<br />
thatch layer and move further down into the soil profile.<br />

How to use Sward<br />
Sward may be applied with<br />
approved earthworm<br />
suppression products within the<br />
label recommendations for<br />
amenity turfgrass situations. It<br />
must not be used when turf is<br />
under stress or during adverse<br />
weather conditions e.g. frost,<br />
drought, waterlogging, which<br />
may leave the turf prone to<br />
damage.<br />
In the spray tank add Sward to<br />
a concentration not<br />
exceeding 0.2% of the total<br />
volume.<br />
