How It Works: Mode of Action
Correct target identification, label-directed timing and coverage are essential to responsible use.
-
Contact action: The exact Zenith leaflet describes a contact insecticide applied to foliage. Spray coverage must reach the target pests; do not treat it as a systemic treatment.
-
Energy disruption: Tolfenpyrad inhibits mitochondrial complex I electron transport, disrupting pest respiration and energy metabolism.
-
Resistance management: Use the IRAC 21A classification when planning rotations with a qualified adviser. Changing brand names without changing the mode-of-action group is not a true rotation.

Dosage & Application Guide
Before preparing Zenith, confirm a complete crop-specific programme on the current supplied label with a qualified crop adviser. Keep product quantity, treated area, water volume, target stage, application timing and harvest interval together. Do not treat the bottle size or a general per-acre rate as a complete spray instruction.
Application Requirements
-
Product quantity: Use the exact crop- and target-specific quantity of formulated Zenith stated for the treatment area.
-
Water and spray coverage: Follow the current crop-specific water volume and equipment directions for foliar spraying.
-
Treatment timing: Confirm the permitted crop and target stage and any repeat interval before mixing. Do not adopt another brand’s schedule.
-
Harvest interval (PHI): Keep the crop-specific interval from the final spray to harvest. Do not infer a zero-day interval.
-
Worker entry: Follow the separate worker-entry restrictions and protective measures; the harvest interval does not replace them.
No universal pump recipe: Do not convert a general field rate into a per-litre or per-pump mix without the matching label water volume and complete crop directions.
Use restrictions: Do not use for post-harvest applications. Do not extend open-field directions to polyhouses or confined areas without the specific current label instructions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the exact product: Check Zenith, tolfenpyrad 15% EC, the crop and target on the current supplied label. The directions for another tolfenpyrad brand are not a substitute.
-
Confirm the full programme: Resolve the product quantity, water volume, crop and target stage, timing, repeats, harvest and worker-entry restrictions before preparing a spray.
-
Measure and mix safely: Use dedicated measuring equipment and follow the supplied label’s mixing sequence. Avoid splashes, inhalation and bare-hand contact with the concentrate.
-
Cover the foliage: Apply only as a label-directed foliar spray with calibrated equipment and suitable crop coverage. Do not use as an unlabelled drench, seed treatment or post-harvest treatment.
-
Choose suitable conditions: The leaflet directs spraying during morning or evening when wind is minimal. Keep yourself out of spray drift and prevent drift onto other people, crops or water.
-
Protect bees and fish: Do not spray while honey bees are active. Do not use where fish culture is practised; prevent water contamination from spray or washings.
-
Record the application: Keep the crop-specific harvest interval after the final spray and comply separately with worker-entry precautions.
