This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops/plants or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops/plants or weeds while bees are foraging in or adjacent to 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. Drift or runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwater.

-4- • Surface Water Advisory This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months after application. 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 loading of thiamethoxam water from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours. (See manual at the following Internet address: http://www.wsi.nrcs.usda.gov/productsAA/2Q/pest/core4.html) Ground Water Advisory Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination. Spray Drift Advisory Do not allow this product to drift.

-8- DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. See individual crops for specific pollinator protection application restrictions. If none exist under the specific crop, for foliar applications, follow these application directions for crops that are contracted to have pollinator services or for food/feed crops & commercially grown ornamentals that are attractive to pollinators: °lf*
FOR CROPS UNDER CONTRACTED POLLINATION SERVICES Do not apply this product while bees are foraging. Do not apply this product until flowering is complete and all petals have fallen unless the following condition has been met: If an application must be made when managed bees are at the treatment site, the beekeeper providing the pollination services must be notified no less than 48- hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying. FOR FOOD/FEED CROPS AND COMMERCIALLY GROWN ORNAMENTALS NOT UNDER CONTRACT FOR POLLINATION SERVICES BUT ARE ATTRACTIVE TO POLLINATORS Do not apply this product while bees are foraging. Do not apply this product until flowering is complete and all petals have fallen unless one of the following conditions is met: The application is made to the target site after sunset The application is made to the target site when temperatures are below 55°F The application is made in accordance with a government-initiated public health response The application is made in accordance with an

lot -9- active state-administered apiary registry program where beekeepers are notified no less than 48- hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying ' The application is made due to an imminent threat of significant crop loss, and a documented determination consistent with an IPM plan or predetermined economic threshold is met. Every effort should be made to notify beekeepers no less than 48-hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying. 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. Centric 40WG is a selective insecticide and its use is compatible with integrated pest management programs. However, Centric 40WG is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or to residue on blooming crops/plants and weeds. Do not apply Centric 40WG or allow it to drift onto blooming plants if bees are foraging in the treated area. Do not use Centric 40WG in nurseries, greenhouses, plant propagation houses, or on any plants grown for use as transplants. 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) and restricted-entry interval. The 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) of 12 hours. 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

P1-10- Chemical-resistant gloves - Category A (e.g., natural rubber >14 mils) Shoes plus socks Protective eyewear FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR INSECT CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. Centric 40WG controls many sucking and chewing insects through contact and ingestion on cotton, tree nuts and soybeans. For best performance, always follow these directions: • Centric 40WG should be applied when insect pest populations begin to build, but before populations reach economically damaging levels. Economic thresholds for pests controlled by Centric 40WG may be available from your local agricultural authorities. • Centric 40WG is rapidly taken up into foliage after application. However, thorough spray coverage is essential for optimal performance. Apply Centric 40WG in sufficient water to ensure good coverage. See specific application information in the Crop Use Directions section of this label. The use of higher water volumes will generally result in better coverage, especially under adverse conditions (e.g. hot, dry) or where a dense plant canopy exists. The use of a spray adjuvant may improve spray coverage but is not required. • Centric 40WG is rainfast once the spray solution has dried on treated plants. • Centric 40WG has a wide margin of plant safety when used in accordance with this label. Resistance Management Centric 40WG belongs to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry (Group 4A Insecticide). Pests which are resistant to insecticides in other chemical classes are not known to be cross-resistant to Centric 40WG. However, insect pests are known to develop resistance to products used repeatedly. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to sound resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area. APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SPRAY EQUIPMENT Ground Application

-11- Spray nozzles should be selected which will provide accurate and uniform spray deposition. Use spray nozzles that provide medium-sized droplets and reduce drift. To help insure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult nozzle manufacturers and / or State Extension Service specialists. Apply Centric 40WG using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage. In situations where a dense canopy exists and/or pest pressure is high, use greater water volumes. The use of a spray adjuvant may increase spray coverage but is not required. Avoid making applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. Precautions: (1) Use spray volumes of 3-10 gal./A. For optimum coverage and efficacy, a spray volume of 5 gals or greater per acre is recommended. (2) Select nozzles which produce the desired droplet sizes at the normal rated pressure range. (3) When spraying fine-sized droplets, carefully check a//_nozzles for flow and calibrate the sprayer. (4) The sprayer should travel at a uniform speed across the field. (5) Monitor environmental conditions and follow Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift carefully. Aerial Application Apply Centric 40WG in water, using a minimum spray volume of 3 gals. /A. Increase spray volume where practical to improve coverage. Avoid making application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur. Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift As with all crop protection products, it is important to avoid off-target movement. Do not allow spray to drift onto adjacent land, crops or aquatic areas. Follow these recommendations to avoid spray drift: • Make applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (Approximately 3-10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 10mph. Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 10mph. • Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area. • Do not cultivate or plant crops within 25 ft. of the aquatic area as to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. • Do not make aerial applications during temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with increased 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. • Use the largest droplet size consistent with good pest control. Small droplets are more prone to spray drift, and can 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.

13 -12- Apply as close to target plants as practical to obtain a good spray pattern for adequate coverage. Applications more than 10 ft. above the crop canopy should be avoided. 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 wing span or rotor diameter.

-13- MIXING PROCEDURES Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use. Centric 40WG Alone Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the desired amount of Centric 40WG to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after Centric 40WG has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. Centric 40WG + Tank Mixtures Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order: products packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables) such as Centric 40WG, liquid flowables, liquids, emulsifiable concentrates and surfactants / adjuvants. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all the mixture has been applied. Note: When using Centric 40WG in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including Centric 40WG. Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank. If using Centric 40WG in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations that appear on the tank mix product label. Do not exceed any label dosage rate, and follow the most restrictive label precautions and limitations. Do not mix Centric 40WG with any product that prohibits such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are labeled. Compatibility Centric 40WG is compatible with most commonly used pesticides, crop oils, adjuvants, and nutritional sprays. However, since it is not possible to test all possible mixtures, the user should pre-test to assure the physical compatibility and lack of phytotoxic effect of any proposed mixtures with Centric 40WG. To determine the physical compatibility of Centric 40WG with other products, use a jar test, as described below. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5

-14- minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. The crop safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops has not been tested. Before applying any tank mixture not specified on this label, the safety to the target crop should be confirmed.

Pollinator Precautions: Centric 40WG is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops. Do not apply during pre-bloom or during bloom when bees are foraging. Do not apply Centric 40WG or allow it to drift to blooming crops if bees are foraging in or adjacent to the treatment area. This is especially critical if there are adjacent orchards that are blooming. After a Centric 40WG application, wait at least 5 days before placing beehives in the treated field. If bees are foraging in the ground cover and it contains any blooming plants or weeds, always remove flowers before making an application. This may be accomplished by mowing, disking, mulching, flailing, or applying a labeled herbicide. Consult with your local cooperative extension

-18- service or state agency responsible for regulating pesticide use for additional pollinator safety practices.
