"- ) ) 5 GENERAL INFORMATION . - Diazinon 40W is an wettable powder which should be mixed with sufficient water to assure thorough coverage unless otherwise noted in the Directions for Use. Best control is obtained when application is made at first sign of pest. Application should be repeated onJy as directed to maintain control. Since Diazinon 40W is a wettable powder formulation, constant agitation is-necessary during appli­ cation. -- -- To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, since crop or plant injury may result. Do not use onfood crops grown in greenhouses.

CHEMIGATION APPLICATION THROUGH At'\{ IRRIGATIONSYST'EM-CCHEMtgAtfON)- CRANBER~­ RIESONLY: Diazinon 40W may be applied alone or in combination with other pesticides registered for applica­ tion through sprinkler irrigation systems to cranberries. To insure compatibility, pour the products into a small container of water in the correct proportions. After thorough mixing, let stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be remixed readily, the mixture is compatible. Do not apply this product through any type of irri~tion system to other crops. For chemigation, apply this product to cranberries onJy through sprinkler irrigation systems. Do not apply this product to cranberries 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 rD.anufacturers, or other experts.- . -- .c. - . Do·not connect the irrigation system used for pesticide application to apublic water system unlessthe pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledge­ able of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and ~ake necessary adjustments if the need arises. - ",,' Chemigation System Connected toPuhlic Water Systems . - 1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at leasU5 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 6 2. Chernigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced­ pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line up­ stream 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. ) Sprinkler Chemigation 1. The system must contain a functional check valve, a vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. 2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functioual, automatic, quick-closing check valve to __ prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 3. 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 to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either auto­ matically or manually shut down. 4. The system mnst contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functioual pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. 6. Systems must use a metering purnp, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., dia­ phragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted v,ith a system interlock . • 7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Operating Instructions 1. Determine the acreage to be treated by the sprinkler system. 2.
