-3- ( ( • Pollinator Precautions: Platinum is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops. Do not apply during pre-bloom or during bloom when bees are actively foraging. Do not apply Platinum or allow it to drift to blooming crops if bees are visiting the treatment area. This is especially critical if there are adjacent orchards that are blooming. After a Platinum 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 service or state agency responsible for regulating pesticide use for additional pollinator safety practices. Refer to Resistance Management section.
