As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

2.5 Environmental Hazards This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates, oysters, and shrimp. This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming plants or weeds and may cause possible effects to pollinators from exposure to translocated residues in blooming plants. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming 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 or rinsate. 2.5.1 Groundwater Advisory This product has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may leach into the groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

[6]

2.5.2 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 groundwater. 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: https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/conservation-basics/natural-resource-concerns/water).

2.5.3 Pollinator Precautions PROTECTION OF POLLINATORS APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS EXIST FOR THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE OF RISK TO BEES AND OTHER INSECT POLLINATORS. FOLLOW APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS FOUND IN THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE TO PROTECT POLLINATORS . Look for the bee hazard icon in the Directions for Use for each application site for specific use restrictions and instructions to protect bees and other insect pollinators.

This product can kill bees and other insect pollinators. Bees and other insect pollinators will forage on plants when they flower, shed pollen, or produce nectar. Bees and other insect pollinators can be exposed to this pesticide from: x Direct contact during foliar applications or contact with residues on plant surfaces after foliar applications x Ingestion of residues in nectar and pollen when the pesticide is applied as a seed treatment, soil, tree injection, as well as foliar applications When Using This Product Take Steps To: x Minimize exposure of this product to bees and other insect pollinators when they are foraging on pollinator attractive plants around the application site. x Minimize drift of this product on to beehives or to off-site pollinator attractive habitat. Drift of this product onto beehives or off-site to pollinator attractive habitat can result in bee kills. Information on protecting bees and other insect pollinators may be found at the

[7]

Pesticide Environmental Stewardship website at: https://pesticidestewardship.org/pollinator-protection/. Pesticide incidents (for example, bee kills) should immediately be reported to the state/tribal lead agency. For contact information for your state, go to: https://aapco.org/2015/07/28/resources-2/. Pesticide incidents should also be reported to the National Pesticide Information Center at: www.npic.orst.edu or directly to EPA at: beekill@epa.gov

2.6 Physical or Chemical Hazards Do not use, pour, spill, or store near heat or open flame.

2.7 Spray Drift Advisory THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.

Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom x Volume – Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. x Pressure – Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzle – Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.

Boom Height – Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.

Boomless Ground Applications: Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift.

Handheld Technology Applications: Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

[8]

SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.

WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS (i.e., 15 mph or greater). Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.

Acelepryn Duo contains systemic insecticides that are translocated upward into the plant from root uptake when applied to the soil. To be effective, apply Acelepryn Duo where the root system of the target plant can readily absorb the active ingredients.

[11]

4.2 Use Sites

For use on ornamental plants and turfgrasses on golf courses, residential lawns, commercial grounds (i.e., office and shopping complexes, airports), parks, playgrounds, and athletic fields. Not for use on plants or turfgrasses being grown for sale or other commercial use; commercial seed production; or for research purposes. Not for use in greenhouses.

4.3 Plant Tolerance Certain plant species or cultivars may be sensitive to the final spray solution. If local experience is not available, test Acelepryn Duo alone or the mixture to be applied (including adjuvants) to a small number of plants and observe for phytotoxicity for at least one week before treating the entire planting to ensure plant safety. 4.4 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Some insect pests are known to develop resistance to products after repeated use. 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. Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term control of the insects on the label.

4.5 Resistance Management Recommendations

For resistance management, Acelepryn Duo contains Group 28 and Group 4A insecticides. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Acelepryn Duo and other Group 28 and 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance- management strategies should be followed. To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps: x Rotate the use of Acelepryn Duo or other Group 28 and 4A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. x Use tank mixtures with insecticides 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): THIAMETHOXAM GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE CHLORANTRANILIPROLE GROUP 28 INSECTICIDE

[12]

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 classifications 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. x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes pest monitoring, uses historical information related to pesticide use, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological, and other chemical control practices. x 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. x Contact your local extension specialist 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 Syngenta at 1-866- SYNGENT(A) (866-796-4368). Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term control of the insects on this label. 5.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 5.1 Methods of Application Apply Acelepryn Duo to turf and ornamental plant foliage or to the soil by ground equipment only as specified in Sections 6.1 to 6.3.

Make foliar applications with the following ground application equipment: boom sprayers and low pressure, handheld-application equipment (hand wand, backpack and mechanical hand gun sprayers). Make soil and mound applications by soil injections, soil drenches, and broadcast, banded and directed sprays using boom and low pressure, handheld-application equipment (hand wand, backpack and mechanical hand gun sprayers).

[13]

5.2 Application Equipment

5.2.1 Cleaning of Application Equipment Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment.

Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. Do not clean equipment near wells, water sources, or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations. 5.2.2 Calibration of Application Equipment Proper maintenance and calibration of spraying equipment are essential for optimal insect pest control. If you have questions about calibration, contact a State Extension Service specialist, the equipment manufacturer, or other experts. 5.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage Acelepryn Duo must be diluted with water before application. Apply in a volume of water that provides good coverage of the foliage or soil, but does not result in run-off or leaching, as specified in the Directions for Use in Section 6.0.

5.4 Mixing Directions 5.4.1 Acelepryn Duo Alone

Prepare only the amount of spray mixture that is needed for the immediate application. 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.

1. Fill sprayer tank with 1/2 of the required amount of water
2. Add the required amount of Acelepryn Duo directly to the sprayer tank with the mechanical or hydraulic agitator running. Do not use air agitation.
3. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
4. Begin application of the solution after Acelepryn Duo has completely dispersed into the mix water.
5. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.

[14]

5.4.2 Tank-Mix Precautions Acelepryn Duo may be tank-mixed with other pesticides. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Do not mix this product with any product which 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.

5.4.3 Tank-Mix Compatibility The physical compatibility of Acelepryn Duo will vary with different sources of pesticide products and local cultural practices. To ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture, prepare a mix on a small scale (such as a pint or quart jar) using the proper proportions of pesticides and water. Add different formulation-type tank mix partners in the sequence indicated below in 5.4.4. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible.

5.4.4 Acelepryn Duo in 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. Add different formulation-type tank mix partners in the sequence indicated below. 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.
