It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and 2 DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. 3 1. 2. 3. 4. restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. NITRO SHIELD® IV is an aqueous based flowable concentrate formulation with a proprietary formulation that is intended to reduce seed dusting off and help reduce viscosity. To delay insecticide resistance consider; • Avoiding the consecutive use of NITRO SHIELD® IV or Group 4 insecticides that have a similar target site of action, on the same insect/mite species. • Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides/acaricides from different target site of action Groups as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use and have different sites of action, • Basing insecticide/acaricide use on a comprehensive IPM program. • Monitoring treated insect/mite populations for loss of efficacy. • Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or Winfield Solutions, LLC representative for herbicide resistance management and/or integrated pest management recommendations for specific site and resistant pest problems. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Nitro Shield IV contains a Group 4 Insecticide. Insect/mite biotypes with acquired resistance to Group 4 insecticides/acaricides may eventually dominate the insect/mite population if Group 4 insectides/acaricides are used repeatedly in the same site or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Nitro Shield IV or other Group 4 insecticides/acaricides. USE RESTRICTIONS • Do not use as a planter (hopper) box treatment. • California: Only for use in commercial seed treatment facilities, not allowed for “on farm” use. • On Farm Treatment; Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. • Do not use treated seed for feed, food, or oil purposes. • Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only if (1) by-products are not used for livestock feed and (2) no measurable residues of pesticides remain in the ethanol by-products that are used in agronomic practice. • Store away from feeds and foodstuffs. • Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch. • Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect treated seeds that are spilled during handling. PRE 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, Chemical-resistant gloves: barrier laminate, butyl rubber >14 mils, nitrile rubber >14 mils, neoprene rubber >14 mils, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) >14 mils, or Viton® >14 mils. Shoes plus socks. Protective eyewear. PRODUCT INFORMATION NITRO SHIELD® IV is a neo-nicotinoid class insecticide intended to provide post planting residual control of labeled insects during the critical germination stage of growth. Exception: If the seed is treated with the product and the treated seed is soil-injected or soil­ incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated.
