AVOID spraying the fruit as phytotoxicity may occur. Mangoes and pears are particularly susceptible
to blemishes, discolouration or severe spotting (superficial on the skin only) from protein-based
baits. The risk of phytotoxicity is increased during hot, dry conditions and re-application of spray to
the same location on the plants. If using a weekly spray program, alternate tree or crop rows to which
the product is applied. Re-apply if rain washes bait off the foliage.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Naturalure® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate is a protein and sugar-based bait containing the active
ingredient spinosad. Once applied, fruit flies can detect the bait from several metres away.
Naturalure® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate can be diluted with water (see MIXING section below) to
produce either a concentrated or a dilute solution. Use the concentrated solution if application
equipment will allow, as this will maximise bait longevity and improve rain fastness. If necessary,
remove filters and strainers from spraying equipment to avoid blockages.

Note: Baiting for fruit fly control should be supplemented by good orchard management practices
such as removal of fallen and/or rotting fruit.

INSECTICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

GROUP 5 INSECTICIDE

For insecticide resistance management Naturalure ® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate Qalcova® active
Insecticide is a Group 5 insecticide. Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Naturalure ®
Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate and other Group 5 insecticides may exist through normal genetic variability
in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect population if
Naturalure® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate or other Group 5 insecticides are used repeatedly. The
effectiveness of Naturalure ® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate on resistant individuals could be significantly
reduced. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Corteva
Agriscience Australia Proprietary Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the
failure of Naturalure ® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate to control resistant insects. Naturalure® Fruit Fly
Bait Concentrate Qalcova® active Insecticide may be subject to specific management strategies.
For further information contact your local supplier, representative or local agricultural department
agronomist.

Naturalure® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate Qalcova® active Insecticide 28th September 2021
MIXING
Once mixed, constant agitation of the spray solution is recommended to ensure uniformity of spray
mixture. Allow agitation system to operate for at least 5 minutes before applying. Once diluted, the
solution should be used within 24 hours.

Concentrated Solution: Mix 1 part of Naturalure ®Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 1.5 parts of water.
First add water (equivalent to one-half of the volume of Naturalure ® Concentrate to be mixed) to the
spray tank and start the agitation system. Then add the full amount of Naturalure ® Concentrate
followed by an equal amount of water.

Dilute Solution: Mix 1 part of Naturalure ® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate with 6.5 parts of water. First
add water (equivalent to the volume of Naturalure ® Concentrate to be mixed) to the spray tank or
premixing tank and start the agitation system. Then add the full amount of Naturalure ® Concentrate
followed by the remaining amount of water.

APPLICATION
Begin applications as soon as monitoring traps indicate flies are present and fruit is at a susceptible
stage. Repeat applications every 7 days, re-applying sooner if rain washes off the deposit. A large
spray droplet size of 4000 to 6000 µ (4-6 mm) is recommended to optimise duration of bait’s
attractiveness to flies. Apply as either a band or spot spray to the lower canopy of fruiting plants as
follows:
Band sprays (concentrated or dilute solution): Apply as a coarse spray in a 1m wide band to the
skirt of trees. Apply to one side of every row or every second row of trees.

Spot sprays of the concentrated solution: Apply to trees and foliage as coarse spots of 20 mL
per spot of 1m2 . Apply 125 spots per hectare.

Spot sprays of the dilute solution: Apply to trees and foliage as coarse spots of 50 mL per spot
of 1m2 . Apply 150 spots per hectare.

Spots should be distributed evenly throughout an orchard to optimise effectiveness. Adjust

the application of the spots to suit the number of trees per hectare, but do not exceed the
application rate above.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT

After using Naturalure ® Fruit Fly Bait Concentrate empty the tank and completely drain the system.
Rinse the tank, pumps, lines, hoses, filters and nozzles by circulating clean water through the
system. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
Dangerous to bees. Avoid direct application or drift of the spray mix onto beehives.
DO NOT spray on plants in flower if bees are active. Once the spray deposit has dried, foraging
bees will not be affected.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT allow the product or used containers to enter dams, ponds, waterways or drains.
DO NOT apply in strong winds or any other conditions that may result in drift onto adjacent pastures,
crops or water supplies.

PROTECTION OF NON-TARGET INSECTS

Beneficial insects contribute to control of pest outbreaks. Applications of Naturalure ® Fruit Fly Bait
Concentrate are unlikely to affect lacewings (Chrysopa spp.), predatory bugs (Geocoris, Orius and
Nabis spp.), spiders and most species of ladybird beetles (Coccinella, Diomus and Harmonia spp.).
However some species of beneficial insects may be sensitive to Naturalure ® Fruit Fly Bait
Concentrate and its use may temporarily reduce populations of parasitoid wasps (especially
Trichogramma spp.), ants, some beetles and tachinid flies. This may lead to some disruption of IPM
systems based on these species, but generally populations will recover.
