ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and aquatic invertebrates. This product is toxic to bees
and other pollinators 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
or other pollinators are foraging in the treatment area. Do not apply directly to water, or
to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
mark. Runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in
neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater
or rinsate.

Dimethoate 480 g/L 12-8-2014
Dimethoate is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as
a result of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable,
particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground-water contamination.
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a
high potential for runoff for several days after application. 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. Runoff of this product will be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
A vegetative filter strip constructed and maintained in accordance with the 2000 Natural
Resources Conservation Service publication "Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide
Losses" (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/feature/buffers/) will significantly reduce the potential
for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff.
Protective information may be obtained from your cooperative agricultural extension
service.
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Combustible. Do not use or store near open heat or flame.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its
labeling.
This product is for use in commercial settings only. Use in residential settings is
prohibited.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either
directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application.
For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for
pesticide regulation.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection
Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of
agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of
agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination,
notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and
exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective
equipment (PPE), restricted-entry interval, and notification to workers. The

Dimethoate 480 g/L 12-8-2014
requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the
Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval
(REI). The REI for a specific crop is listed in the directions for use associated with that
crop.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker
Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such
as plants, soil, or water, is: coveralls worn over long-sleeve shirt and long pants, Barrier
Laminate gloves, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and chemical-resistant
headgear (if overhead exposure).
Double Notification: Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by
posting warning signs at entrances to the treated area.
Aerial Application:
Automatic flagging devices must be used whenever feasible.
If human flaggers are employed, they must wear the protective clothing and respirator
specified on this label.
REQUIREMENTS FOR REDUCING SPRAY DRIFT
Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to
food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit
for sale, use, or consumption can occur.
1. Use the largest droplet size consistent with acceptable efficacy. Formation of very
small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting
nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding excessive
spray boom pressure. For groundboom and aerial applications, use medium or
coarser spray nozzles according to ASABE S-572 definition for standard nozzles or
a volume mean diameter (VMD) of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer
nozzles.
2. Make aerial or ground applications when the wind velocity favors on-target product
deposition. Apply only when the wind speed is less than or equal to 10 mph. For all
non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application
site on the upwind side, immediately prior to application. ,
3. 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.

c
Dimethoate 480 g/L 12-8-2014
4. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets
and therefore the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during
conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.
5. All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and
calibrated using appropriate carriers.
6. For groundboom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above
the ground or crop canopy.
7. For airblast applications, turn off outward-pointing nozzles at row ends and when
spraying the outer two rows. To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard
applications, spray must be directed into the canopy.
8. For aerial applications, release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy
and flight safety. If the application includes an aquatic buffer zone, do not release
spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
9. For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to
minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length
should be used and must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of rotor blade
diameter. Use upwind swath displacement.
DILUTION AND APPLICATION INFORMATION
DIMETHOATE 480 g/L is useful for control of certain pests of certain fruit crops, nuts,
vegetables, and field crops. DIMETHOATE 480 g/L may be applied by ground sprayers
or by airplanes, mixing the DIMETHOATE 480 g/L in water to form an emulsion spray
solution. To make the spray solution, half fill the spray tank with water, agitate, add the
proper amount of DIMETHOATE 480 g/L and then fill the spray tank with water while
still agitating. Continue to agitate during use.
Ground Application: When applying with ground sprayers, calibrate so as to apply the
specified amount of DIMETHOATE 480 g/L in not less than 3 gallons of water per acre
unless directed otherwise.
Aerial Applications: Airplanes must spray the specified amount of DIMETHOATE 480
g/L in 1 to 10 gallons of water per acre unless directed otherwise. Always use sufficient
water for adequate coverage of the crop foliage.»
Dosages: The dosages given under DIRECTIONS FOR USE are the amounts of
DIMETHOATE 480 g/L to be applied per acre treated per application.
Repeat Applications: Repeat applications, if permitted and needed, must conform to the
limits indicated in the use tables in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
Hazards and Precautions: Where a dosage range is given, use the lowest prescribed
rate on small or young plants or to control light infestations. Use the highest specified
rate only on large or more mature plants or to control heavy infestations. The hazards
and precautions for handling DIMETHOATE 480 g/L in this container are equally

applicable to it after dilution with water for spray application.
APPLICATION THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
Apply this product only through sprinkler, including center pivot, lateral move, end tow,
side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems. Do not
apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from
non-uniform distribution of treated water.
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service
specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide
application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices
for public water systems are in place.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or
under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make
necessary adjustments should the need arise.
In a clean supply tank, mix the specified amount of this product for acreage to be
covered and the needed quantity of water.
This product should not be tank-mixed with other pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers
unless prior use has shown the combination non-injurious under your conditions of use.
Follow precautionary statements and directions for all tank-mixed products.
On all crops, use sufficient gallonage of water to obtain thorough and uniform coverage,
but not cause runoff or excessive leaching. This will vary depending on equipment, pest
problem and stage of growth. Application of more or less than optimal quantity of water
may result in decreased chemical performance, crop injury, or illegal pesticide residues.
Meter this product into the irrigation water uniformly during the period of operation. Do
not overlap application. Follow specified label rates, application timing, and other
directions and precautions for crop being treated.
Continuous mild agitation of pesticide mixture may be needed to assure a uniform
application, particularly if the supply tank requires a number of hours to empty.
SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SOURCES

c ' ,, ho
Dimethoate 480 g/L 12-8-2014
Great care must be taken and properly maintained equipment must be used when con-
necting chemigation systems to public water supplies. The following information is
provided for users who have diligently considered all other application and water supply
options before electing to make such a connection.
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for
human consumption if such a system has at least 15 service connections or regularly
serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional
reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), backflow preventer, or the functional equivalent in the
water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the
RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank
prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap)
between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of
at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing
check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-
operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the
system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the
irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is
no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide
distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump
(e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
SPRINKLER IRRIGATION (FOLIAR SPRAY USES)
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low
pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source
contamination from backflow.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing
check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed,
solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected
9

c r
Dimethoate 480 g/L 12-8-2014
to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when
the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch^ which will
stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where
pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump
(e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Use of dimethoate is prohibited during any time of day in any
given orchard from when that orchard has 10% open blooms
until such time as there has been at least 75% petal fall on the
north side of the trees. Applications of dimethoate shall be
limited to that period of time between one (1) hour after sunset
to three (3) hours before sunrise when any one of the following
conditions prevail: 1) Before the onset of petal fall, the orchard
to be treated has open blooms present and these open blooms
represent less than 10% of the total anticipated blooms in the
orchard. 2) After the initiation of petal fall there are less than
25% of open blooms remaining in the orchard to be treated. 3) It
is between the calendar dates of February 15 and May 1st.
All applications of dimethoate on citrus must be documented on
Form 1080 written either by a pest control advisor, farm owner
or farm manager as is normally required for custom applications
of pesticides, except that private applicators may omit the
"Pesticide Application Report" section. The description of the
status of bloom of the orchard to be treated as it was at the time
of the application shall be indicated in the section for "Label
Restrictions/Special Instruction". Both private and custom
applicators shall mail to the Agriculture Department's Phoenix

For Use On Ornamental Plants Grown In Nurseries Only. Not For Residential Use.
DIMETHOATE 480 g/L is effective in controlling many sucking, piercing, and chewing
insects, including aphids, thrips, leafminers, scales, leafhoppers, and mites, that attack
valuable ornamental plantings. For proper timing of treatments for the control of specific
pests on ornamental plants, consult local agricultural authorities. Apply sprays
uniformly and thoroughly to foliage, except as otherwise directed, when insects or their
damage is first observed. Repeat applications as needed. Do not overdose or
overspray. Use only on the ornamental plants listed below.
IMPORTANT - Do not use on ornamental plants grown in greenhouses, Christmas tree
and conifer plantations, landscapes, interiorscapes and residential, public, recreational,
commercial, industrial, and institutional establishments. When making soil injections,
use a low pressure soil injection device. Always wear a full face shield, rubber gloves,
long-sleeved shirt, and rubber apron. DO NOT inject into soil areas where children or
pets may dig or exhume treated soil. Do not make soil injections within 20 feet of edible
crop gardens.
