GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Insecticide Resistance Warning
For insecticide resistance management, Amparo is a Group 1A and Group 4A insecticide.
Some naturally occurring insect biotypes resistant to Amparo and other Group 1A and Group 4A insecticides may exist
through normal genetic variability in any insect population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the insect
population if Amparo or other Group 1A or Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly. The effectiveness of Amparo on
the resistant individuals could be significantly reduced. Since the occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect
prior to use, Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Amparo to
control resistant insects.
Amparo may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local
supplier, Bayer CropScience representative or local agricultural department agronomist.
Seed quality
Do not treat damaged seed or seed with poor viability.
Mixing
Flowable formulations will settle over time. Prior to pouring or pumping Amparo from the container, either shake
container vigorously or operate pump by-pass to ensure thorough mixing of the contents. When preparing mixtures the
following mixing order applies: flowable fungicides, coating agents (e.g. Peridiam®) then Amparo and stir until
homogeneous. Add any emulsifiable liquid last whilst slowly stirring.
Application
Calibrate commercial seed treatment equipment to ensure the seed throughput is mixed with the correct dose of Amparo
or seed treatment mixture containing Amparo. Ensure the treatment is applied to the maximum number of seeds to
achieve the optimal primary distribution of the treatment. Retain seed in mixing chamber until even coverage (secondary
distribution) is achieved.
Compatibility
Amparo is compatible with a range of seed treatment fungicides and with Peridiam® film coating products. Consult
Bayer CropScience for the latest information on compatibilities. As formulations of other manufacturer's products are
beyond the control of Bayer CropScience, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.
PRECAUTIONS
Avoid inhalation of dust from treated seed.
Do not use treated seed for animal or human consumption. Do not allow treated seed to contaminate grain or other seed
intended for animal or human consumption. When treated seed is stored, it should be kept apart from other grain or
seeds, and the bags or containers should be clearly marked to show that the contents have been treated with Amparo.
DO NOT re-use bags which have held treated seed for any other purpose.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK
DO NOT use treated seed for stock food. Store treated seed away from feed. DO NOT allow treated seed to
contaminate seed or grain intended for animal consumption.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT feed treated seed or otherwise expose to wild or domestic birds. Hazardous to fish. DO NOT contaminate
streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical, used containers or bags that have held treated seed.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a dry, well ventilated area, as cool as possible. Do not store for prolonged
periods in direct sunlight.
Container with dry-break connection (100, 1000 L)
If tamper evident seals are broken prior to initial use then the integrity of the contents cannot be assured. Empty
container by pumping through dry-break connection system. Do not attempt to breach the valve system or the filling
point, or contaminate the container with water or other products.
Ensure that the coupler, pump, meter and hoses are disconnected, triple rinsed and drained after each use. When
empty, or contents no longer required, return the container to the point of purchase. This container remains the property
of Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd.
Schütz container with camlock valve connection (1000 L)
If tamper evident seals are broken prior to initial use then the integrity of the contents cannot be assured. The container
must be vented before discharging contents. To empty connect a camlock fitted hose to the bottom valve. Remove top
cap when discharging for venting purposes. When the container is empty, close all caps and valves and return the
container to the point of purchase.
