1
DO NOT apply any subsequent applications of Group 4 Insecticide (i.e. in-furrow or foliar application) following
treatment with Sombrero 600 FS or Stress Shield 600.
2
For fields with a history of moderate to high wireworm pressure, treat crops 34 to 50 mL per 100 kg seed. Use the
higher rate when infestation pressures are expected to be heavy.
3
Use the higher rate for earlier seeding or when insect populations are expected to be high.
Application Information:
May be applied when potato pieces are being cut. Apply specified dosage as a diluted spray onto seed-pieces using a
shielded spray system that is well contained and will prevent the loss of any liquid. DO NOT dilute with any more than 3
parts water to 1 part Admire SPT/ Alias 240 SC. DO NOT dilute Sombrero 600 FS beyond 6%. Agitate or stir spray solution as
needed. Complete coverage of the seed piece is required for optimal insect control. As part of the seed cutting and treating
process, application of a fungicide registered for potato seed treatment or an inert absorbent ingredient is recommended.
Apply Stress Shield 600 through a slurry applicator seed treater for uniform seed coverage. Allow seeds to dry before
bagging or storing in bulk containers.
NOTE: A colourant must be added to Sombrero 600 FS and Stress Shield 600 to colour seed in accordance with the Pest
Control Products Act and the Seeds Act Regulations. A blue colourant must be added when this product is applied to an
oilseed.
How it Works:
Imidacloprid is a chloronicotinyl insecticide with systemic activity. For more information refer to “Insecticide Groups Based
on Modes of Action” on page 624.
Tank Mixes:
Alias 240 SC may be tank mixed with Raxil MD (300 mL per 100 kg seed) for control of certain seed and soil-borne pathogens
in wheat, barley, and oat. Alias 240 SC may be tank mixed with Apron Maxx RTA (325 mL per 100 kg seed) for control of
certain seed and soil-borne pathogens in soybeans.
Stress Shield 600 is registered for tank mix with the fungicide seed treatments Raxil MD, Raxil PRO, or EverGol Energy in
cereals. Stress Shield 600 is registered for tank mix with fungicide seed treatments Trilex AL, Allegiance, EverGol Energy, or
Apron Maxx RTA in pulses.
BayerCropscience also supports the tank-mix of Trilex EverGol with Stress Shield 600.
Sombrero 600 FS is registered for tank mix with the fungicide seed treatments Raxil MD in cereals.
ADAMA also supports the following tank-mixes with Sombrero 600 FS – metalaxyl, Evergol Energy, Trilex Evergol, Vibrance
Maxx, Apron Maxx RTA, and Proseed.
Follow the label directions for each product and use the most restrictive precautions and limitations for either product.
Restrictions:
Resistance management: Refer to page 623. DO NOT apply any subsequent application of imidocloprid in furrow or foliar
application, or any other Group 4 insecticide following Admire SPT/ Alias 240 SC treatment.
NOTE: When using a seed flow lubricant for planting corn and soybean seed treated with neonicotinoid insecticides
(containing the active ingredients clothianidin, imidacloprid or thiamethoxam), use only a dust-reducing fluency agent.
Talc and graphite are not permitted.
