PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
CAUTION
Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin or if inhaled. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Avoid breathing spray mist.
Wear long-sleeved shirt and long pants, socks, shoes and chemical-resistant gloves (such as natural rubber, section Category A).
Applicators and Other Handlers Must Wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as, barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber,
natural rubber, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride (PVC) or viton.
• Shoes plus socks
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/ maintaining personal protective equipment, PPE. If no such instructions for washables,
use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.

ENGINEERING CONTROLS STATEMENTS
• When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection
Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as
specified in the WPS.
User Safety Recommendations:
User should:
~ -- -----------
• Wash hands beforeeaTfng~dr-rrikrng, chewlng\;fum, -uslngTobacco or usTng-fhe-toilet.··
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash
thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Do not apply directly to water, areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters.
This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residUes on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or
allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area. This product is toxic to wildlife and highly toxic to
aquatic invertebrates.
This chemical demonstrates the 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 groundwater contamination.
TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN MIXING AND APPLYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES; RESERVOIRS; RIVERS;
PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS; ESTUARIES AND COMMERCIAL FISH FARM PONDS.
Spray Drift Management
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for
considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
Importance of Droplet Size
An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small droplets «150 - 200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large droplets.
Within typical equipment specifications, make applications to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient control and
coverage. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection.
Wind Speed Restrictions
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors,
including droplet size, canopy and equipment specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Do not apply when winds
are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by
avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
Restrictions During Temperature Inversions
Do not make ground applications during temperature inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature inversions. Temperature
inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a
concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with
limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be
indicated by ground fog; however if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground
source. 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 mixing.
Mixing and Loading Requirements
To avoid potential contamination of groundwater, the use of a properly designed and maintained containment pad for mixing and
loading of any pesticide into application equipment is recommended. If containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of
25 feet between mixing and loading area and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads, sink
holes, or field drains.
No-Spray Zone Requirements for Soil Applications
Do not apply within 25 feet, of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds; estuaries and commercial fish
farm ponds.
Runoff Management
Do not cultivate within 10 feet of the aquatic weas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. When using RTP 017495 on erodible soils,
employ the be!;>t management practices for minimizing runoff. Consult your local Natural Resources Conservation Service for
recommendations in your use area.
Endangered Species Notice
Under the Endangered SpeCies Act, it is a Federal Offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of a member of an
endangered species. Consult your local county bulletin, County Extension Agent, or Pesticide State Lead Agency for information
concerning endangered species in your area.

Resistance Management
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product should
conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area.
RTP 017495 contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance to Group 4A insecticides may
eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for
targeted species.
The active ingredient in RTP 017495 is a member of the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests resistant to other chemical classes
have not shown cross-r~i~!AQc:e to RTP 01} 495. I n order to~~iQ~ill_ ~usc;eJ)tibility to. thJ~_ (;I?s_s of GhE)J1ljs!ryJ-,""!.iQ~~c:t~p_ecie§ witb. bjgh
resistance development potential, it is recommended that for each crop season: 1) only a single, soil application of RTP 017495 be
made; 2) foliar applications of products from this same class not be made following a long residual, soil application of RTP 017495, or
other neonicotinoid products.
Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: Actara, Assail, CAL YPSO, Centric, Clutch, Couraze, Gallant,
Impulse, Intruder, LEVERAGE, Nuprid, Pasada, PROVADO, TRIMAX PRO and Venom.

Application Directions
Applications of RTP 017495 should direct product into the seed or root-zone of crop. Failure to place RTP 017495 into root-zone may
result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. RTP 017495 may be applied with ground or chemigation application. Do not apply
with aerial application equipment. Broadcast, foliar applications are only recommended to seedling flats or trays, or where product is
intended to be washed from foliage to soil prior to drying on foliage.
Optimum activity of RTP 017495 results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier RTP 017495 is
available to a developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. RTP 017495 is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of
time and the systemic nature of RTP 017495 allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the plant.
~ --Ttiis resLiltsl1l exten-decnesidiJanlctivity-of RTP-017495; thEfcontrolof insects and the prevention-and/or reduction of virus transmission
or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The rate of RTP 017495 applied affects the length of the plant protection period.
Higher rates are recommended when infestations occur later in crop development, or where pest pressure is continuous. RTP 017495
will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms or fruit. Additional crop protection may be required for insects feeding in, or
on these plant parts and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests controlled sections of this label. Additional, specific RTP
017495 application recommendations are also provided in the crop-specific sections of this label.
Suppression, or less than complete control of certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding may also result from RTP
017495 applications. Complete control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures.
RTP 017495 use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is generally not recommended
but may be allowed under State specific, supplemental labeling. As with any insecticide, care should be taken to minimize exposure of
RTP 017495 to honey bees and other pollinators. Additional information on RTP 017495 uses for these crops and other questions,
may be obtained from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants or local Bayer CropScience representatives.
Make application only to plants grown in field type soil, potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil
medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool or other soil-less media, or plants growing hydroponically.
Pre mix RTP 017495 with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Keep RTP 017495 and water suspension agitated to
avoid settling.
Do not apply more than 0.5 Ib active ingredient per acre, per crop season, regardless of formulation or method of application, unless
specified within a crop-specific, Applications section for a given crop.
Additional Product Use information may be obtained by calling 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
Mixing Instructions
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the tank and with agitation add RTP 017495.
Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. RTP 017495 may
also be used with other pesticides. Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of RTP 017495 and other pesticides
are involved, prepare the tank mixture as recommended above and follow suggested Mixing Order below.
Mixing Order .
When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders or wettable granules first, RTP 017495 and other suspension concentrate
(flowable) products second, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Ensure good agitation as each component is added. Do not add an
additional component until the previous is thoroughly mixed. If a fertilizer solution is added or used as the diluent, a fertilizer/pesticide
compatibility agent may be needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing .and application to ensure uniformity of spray
mixture.
Compatibility Note
Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding RTP 017495 to the spray or mix tank. Add proportionate amounts of each
ingredient in the appropriate order, to a pint or quart jar, cap, shake for 5 minutes, and let set for 5 minutes. Poor mixing or formation of
precipitates that do not readily redisperse indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be used. For further information, contact
your local Bayer CropScience representative.
CHEMIGATION - DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Types of Irrigation Systems
Chemigation applications of RTP 017495 may only be made to crops through chemigation systems as specified in crop-specific,
Application sections and only through low-pressure systems unless specified for a given crop. Do not apply RTP 017495 through any
other type of irrigation system.
Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration
The irrigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in
the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified.
If you have questions about calibration, contact Cooperative Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
Chemigation Monitoring
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible
person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Drift
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
5

( (
Required System Safety Devices
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation
pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic,
quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain
a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system
interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut
down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water
pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor
-when-the water-pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering-pump,
such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Using Water from Public Water Systems
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least
15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. Chemigation
systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow preventer (RPl) or the
functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPl, the water from
the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical
break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter
of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid
back toward the injection. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on
the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank
when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops or in cases where there is no water pump, when
the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump such
as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible
with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
ROTATIONAL CROPS·
Treated areas may be replanted with any crop speCified on an imidacloprid label, or any crop for which a tolerance exists for the
active ingredient, as soon as practical following the last application. For crops not listed on an imidacloprid label, or for crops for
which no tolerances for the active ingredient have been established, a 12-month plant-back interval is required.

Apply specified dosage in one of the following methods:
1. Uniform, broadcast foliar spray to seedlings in trays (tray drench) not more than 7 days prior to transplanting followed
immediately by overhead irrigation to wash RTP 017495 from foliage into potting media. Failure to wash RTP 017495 from
foliage may result in a reduction in pest control. Handle transplants carefully during setting to avoid dislodging treated potting
media from roots;
2. In-furrow spray or transplant-water drench during setting;
3. Chemigation into root-zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or equivalent equipment.
Important Note: Proper tray drench applications of RTP 017495 have been shown to be the most efficacious method of application.
However, the specified rate of RTP 017495 may be applied as combination of the tray drench in the planthouse and/or transplant-
water drench infield. Adverse growing conditions may cause a delay in uptake of RTP 017495 into the plant and a delay in control.

Apply specified dosage in a minimum of 16 gallons of water for tomatoes and 21 gallons of water for cucumbers using soil drenches,
micro-irrigation, drip irrigation, or hand-held or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment. Make application only to plants grown in
field-type soils, potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock
wool or other soil-less media, or plants growing hydroponically. Do not apply to immature plants since phytotoxicity may occur,
Make application when infestation pressure surpasses threshold and beneficials are not able to maintain pest populations below
damage thresholds. Repellency of bumble bee pollinators and negative effects on some beneficials (Orius sp.) can occur when RTP
017495 is applied.
Many varieties of vegetables have been tested for tolerance to RTP 017495 and show good safety. However, certain varieties may
show more sensitivity to RTP 017495. Therefore, treatment of a few plants is recommended before treating the whole greenhouse.

1. Chemigation into root-zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or equivalent equipment. For optimum results,
apply to newly planted trees or those previously trained to drip, trickle or micro-sprinkler irrigation. Soil should be lightly pre
wetted to break soil surface tension prior to applications of RTP 017495. Chemigation application can be made separate to
normal irrigation but followed by 10 to 20 minutes of additional watering to move RTP 017495 into root-zone: Allow 24 hours
before initiating subsequent irrigations;
2. Soil surface band spray on both sides of the tree. Bands should overlap at the tree base to create a continuous band within the
drip-line area of the tree, to be followed immediately with light sprinkler irrigation sufficient to move.the product into the upper
portion of the root-zone. This method is suitable for very coarse soils with 0.75% organic matter or less;
3. Drench to base of tree not exceeding one-quart total solution per tree immediately around trunk of tree and extending outward
covering the entire fibrous root system of the tree. Only recommended for trees up to 8 feet tall;
4. For control of existing termite infestations, apply specified dosage in 1 to 4 quarts of total solution volume, depending on size of
tree, as a drench application to the basal portion of the tree trunk and surrounding soil in the immediate vicinity of the tree trunk.
5. For suppression of citrus nematode, apply specified dosage through low-pressure chemigation or soil surface band spray only,
ensuring complete coverage of the root system and utilizing application directions stated above for the respective application
method. Repeated and regular use of RTP 017495 over several consecutive growing seasons provides the greatest degree of

Applications
Moisture content of cuttings/whips prior to application, the solution concentration and the length of soaking interval interact to affect
the amount of product absorbed into plant material. For a constant soaking interval of 24 hours, drier cuttings/whips absorb a higher
quantity of solution and require alower concentration. Conversely, more hydrated cuttings/whips absorb less solution and require a
higher concentration. Soaking of cuttings/whips should occur in a covered container in absence of UV light. Not all Populus sp.
clones/varieties/hybrids have been tested for crop safety. Without specific knowledge about a particular Populus sp.
clone/variety/hybrid, Bayer CropScience recommends that small numbers of cuttings/whips of each be treated and evaluated prior to
commercial use.

For freshly cut (unhydrated) cuttings/whips, soak plant material in specified solution concentration for 24 hours prior to cold storage.
After removal from cold storage, plant as needed.
For previously hydrated cuttings/whips removed from cold storage, allow plant material to reach room temperature and soak in
specified solution concentration for 24 hours prior to planting.
Proper care should be taken in disposal of any residual soaking solution. Solution may be applied to existing trees or other
registered crops as long as all product label precautions and restrictions are observed.
