3 r ~ II GENERAL INFORMATION: Carbaryl 4 oil Insecticide is a dispersion of finely ground technical carbaryl in a non-aromatic, low volatile oil. It is designed for air application as a low volume or ultra low volume spray. It may also be applied by ground mist blower or cold fogging, if diluted with diesel fuel, kerosene OT '2 fuel oil. READ 'l'Bl:S LABEL BEFORE USE. USE IN STRICT ACCORDANCE NUB DIRECTIONS AND CAUTIONS. PRBIIARVEST AND GRAZING USE INFORMATION AND LDnTATIONS Tolerances established under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, permit the sale of crops bearing probable carbaryl residues when this product is used in accordance with label directions. If used as directed, treated forage may be grazed or used as feed for dairy and meat animals without causing illegal residues in meat or milk. This product may be applied up to and including the day of harvest or grazing of forage crops. MIXING AND APPLICATION

1. Carbaryl 4 oil thickens during storage. Roll or agitate drums or recirculate product in bulk tanks before use to reduce viscosity and restore homogeneity. Carbaryl 4 Oil may be held prior to use and transferred in any materials of construction suitable for use with fuel oil, kerosene or diesel oil. Protect from water.
2. Before and after use, flush nurse tanks, pumps, lines, hoses and entire systems with diesel fuel, kerosene or '2 fuel oil until clean. Water, scale, rust and other residue must be removed from pumps, mixing and spray systems before use.
3. Carbaryl 4 Oil is not compatible with and should not be mixed with water, alcohol or aromatic solvents, but can be diluted with aliphatic oil (diesel fuel, kerosene, or '2 fuel oil). Compatibility with other pesticides has not been thoroughly tested. DO NOT USE IN TANK MIX COMBINATIONS UNLESS YOUR EXPERIENCE INDICATES THAT THE MIXTURE IS EFFECTIVE AND WILL NOT RESULT IN PLANT INJURY OR MECHANICAL DIFFICULTY.
4. For best mixing when preparing diluted Carbaryl 4 Oil, add diluent oil to mix tank before adding proper volume of Carbaryl 4 Oil. Provide periodic circulation to maintain uniform suspension if diluted.
5. Calibrate eql1ipment to deliver the desired spray volume. Fla~ fan nozzles Ly be used to apply both undiluted and diluted Carharyl 4 Oi~, Rotary atomizing and hollow cone nozzle are not recommended for applying undiluted Carbaryl 4 Oil but can be used if 1. to 1 d_il1.ltion is made. Use of a high-volume 50- mesh in-line strai:ler is suggested, Use of screens behind nozzles is not recommended. CARB40IL.DOC 9/17/93

4 6. Apply by air undiluted, or diluted with kerosene, diesel fuel or #2 fuel oil. At temperatures below 50 degrees F. (10 degrees C.) dilution of 4 _olumes of Carbaryl 4 Oil with 1 volume of diluent oil is recommnded to assure uniform flow and sra'l dis':ribut:'on. Dilu'::.ons greater than 1 to 1 by volume are noc recommedcd; cigher dilucions will reduce residual properties. Dilute 1 to 1 by volume when applying with ground equipment. 7-. Apply only when weather conditions are favorable. wind and rising air currents may cause undesirable spray drift and reduce insect control. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of l?deral law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. Read entire Label.

INSECT CONTROL 5 The directions on this label are based on tests and field experience relating to (a) effectiveness; (b) possible injury to plants and animals: and (c) residues in food, feed, meat and milk. Follow directions for most effective use. DOSAGES LISTED REFER TO QUARTS OF CARBARYL 4 OIL PER ACRE, NOT TO VOWME OF FINISHED SPRAY PER ACRE. Refer to Steps 4 and 6 under STORAGE AND APPLICATION FOR INSTRUCTION ON DIWTION. COlUf (Pield. Pop) INSECT CONTROL _ For corn rootworm beetles: Apply 1 quart of Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre as needed at first silking if populations are at economic levels and/or apply later when needed to control adult popUlation buildup to reduce larval damage to next year's crop. Do not make more than two applications. For western Bean Cutworm: Apply a single application of 2 quarts of Carbaryl 4 Oil plus 2 quarts diesel fuel, kerosene or '2 fuel oil per acre when an average of 1 in 7 plants have western bean cutworm egg masses or newly hatched larvae and 90 to 100% of the tassels have emerged. Application after 100% of the silks have emerged will reduce effectiveness. For Japanese Beetle: Apply 1 quart Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre when adult beetles are present. For Grasshoppers: Apply 1/4 to 1-1/4 quarts Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre. Lower rate is suggested for nymphs on small plants. Use 1 to 1 1/2 quarts when grasshoppers or foliage are mature and greater coverage is required. FOREST INSECT CONTROL For control of Gypsy Moth, Fall and Spring Cankerworms, Saddled Prominent, Forest Tent caterpillar, Elm Spanworm, Oak Leafroller Complex and Japanese Beetle: Apply 1 quart Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre when larvae are in early ins tars and leaves are at least 1/3 grown, or when adult Japanese Beetles are present. For Spruce Budworm and Western Spruce Budworm: Apply 1 quart Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre for foliage protection. East of the Rock Mountains apply when larvae are in third and fourth instars. In the Rocky Mountains and west of the Rocky Mountains apply when larvae are in third through fifth instars. For Douglas Fir 'l'ussock Moth: For maximum foliage protection apply 2 quarts Carbaryl 4 oil per acre when larvae are in first and second instars. Application to later instars will provide control but wi til reduced foliage protection. CARB40IL.DOC 9/17/93

6 For population control and foliage protection of high value trees using gound mist blower application, apply 4/5 pint of spray mixture containing equal volumes of Carbaryl 4 oil and diesel fuel, kerosene or 2 fuel oil per 20 to 30 foot trees (1/5 lb. ai/tee) when larvae are in early instars. Cover foliage torcughly, bu~ avoid r~~o~=. PASTURE, RANGELAND AND WASTELAND INSECT CON'l'ROL . For Grasshoppers: Apply 1/2 to 1-1/2 quarts of Carbaryl 4 oil per acre. Lower rate is suggested for nymphs on small plants or sparse vegetation. Use higher rate when grasshoppers are mature or vegetation is thick. For Range caterpillar: Apply 1/2 to 1 quart of Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre. Use the lower rate when larvae are in early instars and the higher rate for later instars. For Japanese Beetle: Apply 1 quart of Carbaryl 4 Oil per acre when adult beetles are present. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
