PRODUCT INFORMATION
FORCE 3.0G is a synthetic pyrethroid soil insecticide applied at planting as a band or in-furrow
treatment for control of corn rootworm, black cutworm, wireworms, seedcorn maggot in field, sweet
and seed corn.
FORCE 3.0G applied as a band will control Northern and Western corn rootworm and black
cutworm.
FORCE 3.0G applied in-furrow will control Northern and Western corn rootworm, black cutworm,
wireworms and seedcorn maggot.
FORCE 3.0G is not systemic, and does not control insects which burrow into or feed on corn stalks,
leaves, or ears.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
FORCE 3.0G is to be used on field, sweet and seed corn only. Corn forage, grain, cobs, and
other plant portions may be fed to livestock.
APPLICATION: Apply FORCE 3.0G through a planter mounted insecticide applicator.
DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
Banded: For control of Northern and Western corn rootworm and black cutworm.
Apply FORCE 3.0G in a 15-20 cm wide band centred over the seed furrow at 37.5 g product/100
m of row through a planter mounted insecticide applicator. The band should be applied ahead of
the planter's press wheels and then incorporated into the top 1-2 cm of soil by tines or by dragging
a short length of chain behind the press wheels. If using a planter with the insecticide applicators
behind the press wheels, ensure incorporation into the top 1-2 cm of soil. It is recommended that
wind-guards be used to ensure proper placement of FORCE 3.0G.
NOTE: In regions where seedcorn maggot and wireworm are common, these may be controlled by
treatment of seed with AGROX D-L Plus. Follow AGROX D-L Plus label for rates and directions
for use.
In-Furrow: For control of Northern and Western corn rootworm, black cutworm, wireworms and
seedcorn maggot.
Apply FORCE 3.0G in the furrow with the seed 2-5 cm deep at 37.5 g product/100 m of row.
FORCE 3.0G should be applied directly behind the seed tube into the open seed furrow.
CALIBRATION: It is essential that the correct rate of FORCE 3.0G be applied to obtain the best
insect control. Calibration tubes and instructions are available from your supplier.
Approved Pamphlet Force 23917 04-02-20 Page 5 of 6
1. Measure a 100 m length of row.
2. Attach calibration tubes to each applicator outlet.
3. Drive planter down the 100 m of row at normal planting speed to collect insecticide in calibration
tubes.
4. Remove tube and tap 4 times to settle granules.
5. If calibration tube reading is above or below 37.5 g/100 m row, adjust gauge setting accordingly
and repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.
6. Recalibrate periodically to ensure correct rate is being applied.

NOTE: These settings should be used as starting points only. Continually check the amount of

accordingly. Also, check calibration occasionally to make sure equipment wear, changing
conditions, etc., have not caused a change in flow rate.

Resistance-Management Recommendations
For resistance management, please note that FORCE 3.0G contains a Group 3 insecticide. Any
insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to FORCE 3.0G and other Group 3
insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticide
is used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of
action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist.
Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay insecticide resistance:
鈥? Where possible, rotate the use of FORCE 3.0G or other Group 3 insecticides with different
insecticide groups that control the same pests in a field.
鈥? Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group when such use is permitted.
鈥? Insecticide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, record keeping,
and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
鈥? Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development.
鈥? Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest
problems in your area.
For further information and to report suspected resistance, contact Syngenta Crop Protection
Canada, Inc. company representatives at 1-87S-YNGENTA (1-877-964-3682) or at
www.syngenta.ca.
