ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds.
Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the
treatment area. Protect pollinating insects by following label directions intended to minimize drift and
to reduce risk to these organisms. Before beginning treatment, notify all registered apiarists in or near
the treatment area of the date and approximate time of treatment.
Reporting Ecological Incidents: To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to
plants and animals, call 1-800-331-3148.
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high potential for
runoff after application. Use care when applying in or to an area which is adjacent to any body of water,
and do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Poorly draining soils and soils
with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level, well
maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water
features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water from
rainfall-runoff.

PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
• All ULV aerial formulations other than those intended for use as a Wide Area Mosquito Adulticide
must be packaged in closed mixing and loading systems.
• Do not use this product for any uses other than those specified on this label.
• Undiluted spray droplets of Fyfanon ULV AG will permanently damage automobile paint. Cars should
not be sprayed. If accidental exposure does occur, the car should be washed immediately.
Pollinator Protection:
Managed pollinator protection plans are developed by states/tribes to promote communication
between growers, landowners, farmers, beekeepers, pesticide users, and other pest management
professionals to reduce exposure of bees to pesticides. If available, visit state plans for additional
information on how to protect pollinators.
Pollinator Best Management Practices (Agricultural Uses):
Following best management practices can help reduce risk to terrestrial pollinators. Examples of best
management practices include applying pesticides in the evening and at night when pollinators are not
foraging and checking to confirm hive locations before spraying. For additional resources on pollinator
best management practices,
visit https://www.epa.gov/pollinator-protection/find-best-management-practices-protect-pollinators.
Pollinator Best Management Practices (Non-Agricultural Uses):
Following best management practices can help reduce risk to terrestrial pollinators. Examples of best
management practices include applying pesticides in the evening and at night when pollinators are not
foraging and avoiding applications to flowering plants. For additional resources on pollinator best
management practices,
visit https://www.epa.gov/pollinator-protection/find-best-management-practices-protect-pollinators.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, Fyfanon ULV AG contains a Group 1B insecticide. Any insect population
may contain individuals naturally resistant to Fyfanon ULV AG and other Group 1B
insecticides/acaricides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of
insecticides/acaricides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management
strategies should be followed.
To delay insecticide/acaricide resistance, take the following steps:
• Rotate the use of Fyfanon ULV AG or other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides within a growing season,
or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
• Use tank mixtures with insecticides/acaricides from a different group that are equally effective on
the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the same
pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted pests) between the
individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by
the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied at the
rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target species.
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not
recommended for insect resistance management.
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual
components for the targeted pest(s).
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients,
but they may still provide pest management benefits.
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two
components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of insecticides with
unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect resistance management benefit
only for the period where both insecticides are active.
• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides use that includes scouting,
uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers
cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the
presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor.
• 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.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact FMC representatives at 1-800-331-
3148.
Pollinator Protection, continued:
How to Report Bee Kills: It is recommended that users contact both the state lead agency and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency to report bee kills due to pesticide application. Bee kills can be
reported to EPA at beekill@epa.gov. To contact your state lead agency, see the current listing of state
pesticide regulatory agencies at the National Pesticide Information Center’s website:
http://npic.orst.edu/reg/state_agencies.html.
Reporting Ecological Incidents: To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to
plants and animals, call 1-800-331-3148.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
ULV Ground Boom Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets in accordance
with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
ULV Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver fine or coarser droplets in accordance with
American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard (ASABE S641).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than
10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less
of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan
for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
• Applicators must use a full swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Additional Spray Drift Requirements
Observe the following requirements when spraying in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as, but not
limited to lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or natural ponds; estuaries and
commercial fish ponds.
Buffer Zones for Ground-based ULV Application to Pasture/Rangeland:
Do not apply within 50 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
streams, wetlands, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). This 50-foot buffer is in addition to the
full swath displacement upwind that applicators must use at the downwind edge of the field.
Buffer Zones for Aerial ULV Application:
Do not apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
streams, wetlands, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). This 100-foot buffer is in addition to
the full swath displacement upwind that applicators must use at the downwind edge of the field.
Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. Inversions are
characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with increasing distance above the ground. Mist
or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. Where permissible by local regulations,
the applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer
near the ground surface. In conditions of low humidity and high temperatures, applicators should use a
coarser droplet size.
Agricultural Uses
Fyfanon ULV AG is used undiluted in any specially designed aircraft or ground equipment that has been
adapted and calibrated for ultra low volume spraying. Apply only when weather conditions are
favorable. Wind and rising air currents may cause undesirable spray drift and reduce insect control.

streams, wetlands, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). This 50-foot buffer is in addition to
the full swath displacement upwind that applicators must use at the downwind edge of the field.

Apply Fyfanon ULV AG at the rate of 2 to 4 fluid ounces per acre for control of adult flies. Application
may be made via ground or aerial equipment and may be repeated as necessary.
Fyfanon ULV AG can be mixed with a synergized pyrethrin emulsifiable concentrate (6% pyrethrin + 60%
PBO) in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions indicated on both this
and the tank-mixed product. Label rates must not be exceeded. This product may not be mixed with any
product bearing a label which specifically prohibits such mixing. Prior to tank mixing large quantities, mix
a small amount in a glass jar to verify that the products are physically compatible.

Depending upon your operational needs for knock-down, the amount of synergized pyrethrin can be
reduced or adjusted. Application rates of Fyfanon ULV AG and droplet distribution requirements remain
the same as for Fyfanon ULV AG used alone.

PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR APPLICATION TO COTTON TO CONTROL BOLL WEEVIL
Treatment supervisors and applicators must be aware of all sensitive areas near cotton fields, including:
schools, hospitals, nursing homes, churches, occupied dwellings, parks, recreation areas, bodies of
water, and potential habitat for threatened and endangered species.
For aerial applications, spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter is 100
microns (Dv 0.5 = 100um) or greater. The effects of flight speed, nozzle angle and type, and pump
pressure on the droplet size spectrum must be considered.
Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with pest control and flight safety.
Global positioning systems (GPS) should be used to guide pilots and to monitor each application.
Ground equipment should utilize a controlled air flow to facilitate particle size and spray deposition, and
should be used at a vehicle speed of 4 to 10 mph. Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume
median diameter is 100 microns (Dv 0.5 = 100um) or greater.
Ground equipment should be used to treat field edges when possible, covering areas that cannot be
treated effectively with aircraft because of obstructions which may affect applicator safety, or where
there is boll weevil over-wintering habitat adjacent to the treatment area, or if there are adjacent
sensitive areas.
Treatments should be applied when winds are calm or moving away from adjacent sensitive areas.
When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator
must compensate for his displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the
path of the aircraft upwind.
Do not make aerial or ground applications into temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by
stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the
presence of an inversion in humid areas. The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by
producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
Applications will not be made when people are in or near infested cotton fields or, to the degree
possible, when people are present in or near adjacent sensitive areas.
Application will not be made when rainfall is imminent.
FMC does not recommend that application be made to wet foliage.
Before beginning treatment, program personnel shall notify all registered apiarists in or near the
treatment area of the date and approximate time of treatment.
