1 Nature does her part when nurture happens first Exirel insecticide protects your Fodder brassicas from damaging pests Exirel insecticide helps reduce stress from pest pressure and helps establish a vigorous growing crop Exirel insecticide helps establish a vigorously growing crop providing an opportunity for improved yield Look inside to find out how.

2 Robust residual cross spectrum control including Caterpillars (Diamondback moth, Cabbage white butterfly & Soybean looper), European leaf miner and suppression of Grey cabbage aphids. Diamondback moth Cabbage white butterfly Soybean looper European leaf miner Grey cabbage aphid Registered in Fodder brassica crops including, Kale, Rape, Swede, Leafy turnip and Bulb turnip. Good fit in Fodder brassicas with low impact to some key beneficial insects. Rapid stop feeding helps reduce damage from pests. 2 Nature does her part when nurture happens first

3 How Exirel works Unique cross-spectrum Selectivity to some beneficial insects Rapid feeding cessation and crop protection from feeding damage Translaminar activity and local translocation Impact on multiple life stages including pest reproduction New mode of action for sucking pests and is effective against Organo Phosphate (OP) & Synthetic Pyrethroid (SP) resistant strains DuPont Exirel insecticide provides targeted cross spectrum activity on all key chewing and sucking pests in Fodder brassica crops and does not harm some key beneficial insects. This is quite different to broad spectrum insecticides like the OPs and SPs. Control of Leafminer and Caterpillar is excellent and Exirel also provides suppression on aphids. Exirel should only be applied to rising populations of aphids. If a high population exists, a specialised aphid insecticide should be used. The unique cross-spectrum of Exirel for the management of highly prolific and difficult to control pests Exirel has an effect on multiple life stages and reduces pest population growth for more effective control Insect Pest Group Eggs (ovicide or ovilarvicide) Life Stage Impacted Immature (larvae, nymphs) Caterpillars, Moths Adult Early Life Stages Egg Insecticidal Acticity Ovicidal Leaf miners Not tested Aphids Hatching Egg Ovilarvicidal Direct mortality or protection from plant feeding and disease transmission +++ = High ++ = Medium + = Low Larvae Larvicidal Innovative mode of action and translaminar activity Exirel has an innovative mode of action which ensures the pests stop feeding rapidly for excellent crop protection. It also has translaminar activity to allow the insecticide to reach further into the crop canopy and control insects that were not immediately targeted by the spray application. Pest death occurs within 72 hours. In the images below Exirel (left image) showed excellent translaminar activity for control of Diamondback moth larvae on Cabbage. Translaminar action by Exirel improves rainfastness for more effective control Rainfastness of Exirel applied at 500 ml/ha in tomato field trials (measured as Helicoverpa larvae mortality) No Rainfall 25 mm Rainfall/ 2 hours after treatment 0 Exirel NB.

4 When to use Exirel insecticide The best time to use Exirel is early in the crop growth once crop establishment has been achieved. Use Exirel when caterpillar or leafminer are present early and aphids are in low to medium numbers. The rapid stop feeding effect of Exirel will help achieve excellent crop protection. Crop Stage Drilling Germination Cotyledon 2 true leaves Leaf development Bulb swelling Graze Estimated Timing 14 days 21 days 30 days 1-2 months 3-5 months 5-6 months Diamondback moth Cabbage white butterfly Soybean looper European leaf miner Grey cabbage aphids Exirel Positioning Exirel Exirel There are two keys to maximising the value of Exirel Apply Exirel early in the target pest infestation Apply Exirel early in the crop cycle Since Exirel impacts multiple life stages and conserves some natural enemies, treating crops at the beginning of an infestation reduces the development of damaging pest populations. Protects developing crops when they are most vulnerable to the stress of feeding damage, maximises the benefit of early crop vigour. Local trials DuPont Exirel insecticide has been trialled against other insecticide options to prove its effectiveness under New Zealand conditions. In high pest pressure situations, Exirel demonstrated excellent control.

Exirel, applied as per label directions, works with nature to help keep pests under control. Note: Best practice is to avoid direct application of any pesticide to actively foraging bees. In actively blooming crops, the best time for Exirel treatment is when bees are not actively foraging, i.e. after daily bee flight.

(2011) Trial showing beneficial insects in Exirel treated crop An insect glue board placed at a trial of Exirel insecticide at Lincoln on the Canterbury Plains demonstrates the large number of beneficial and non-target insects that were not controlled by the insecticide spray. Beneficial insects can assist in controlling subsequent generations of pests well after effectiveness of the initial insecticide application. Exirel insecticide in the environment Source: PGG Wrightson Seeds, Kimihia Research Centre, Lincoln, New Zealand (2012) Has low potential for uptake in following crops which also reduces the risk of unwanted residues in non-registered crops. Has low volatility. Degrades in water and sunlight reducing the potential for bio-accumulation in the soil. 5

6 Exirel label Crop Pest Rate/ha WHP Critical Comments Fodder brassicas Cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae) Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) Soybean looper caterpillar (Thysanoplusia orichalcea) European leaf miner (Scaptomyza flava) Suppression: Grey cabbage aphid (Brevicoryne brassicae) 150 ml/ha + a non-ionic wetting agent at the labeled rate 28 days Regularly scout crops to monitor for eggs and larvae. Apply when insects or damage first appear and before a buildup of pest numbers. Repeat at 2-3 week intervals as indicated by pest activity. Ensure complete and thorough spray coverage. DO NOT apply more than 3 applications to any one crop per season. Further treatments should be made with alternative mode of action insecticides. Exirel is a GROUP 28 INSECTICIDE and should be managed with other insecticides belonging to this mode of action. Apply no more than 3 applications of Exirel or any other group 28 insecticide to any one crop per season (maximum 2 Group 28 insecticides back to back). To help prevent resistance development, avoid treating consecutive generations of the target pest with the same product or products with the same mode of action. Apply Exirel using a window approach, alternating blocks of treatments with Exirel followed by blocks of treatments with other effective products with different modes of action. The total exposure period of all Group 28 active windows cannot exceed 50 of the crop cycle. 1. Water soluble bags (WSB) 2. Water soluble granules (SG) 3.
