NOTE TO PHYSICIAN Thiodicarb is an oxime carbamate insecticide. which is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Overexposure to this substance may cause toxic signs and symptoms due to stimulation of the cholinergic nervous system. These effects of overe.poure are spontaneously and rapidly reversible. Specic treatment consists 0: parenteral atropine suijate. Caution shoukJ be maintained to prevent C'veratropinization. Mild cases may be given I to 2 mg intramu:;cularly every 10 minutes until full atropinizatIOn has been achieved and repeated th .. reaher whenever symptoms reappear. Savere cases should be gi· .. en 2 to 4 mg intravenously every 10 minutes IIntil fully dtropinizl'P. J'in intramuscularly every 30 to 60 minutes as needed to maintain the effect for at least 12 hours. Dosages fOI ':;,i:d,an s~.ould Ite apprp;ately reduced.

, L!,' ).f , Do not store spray mixture for prolonged periods. If tank mixes are to be used, LARVINII> brand 250 Thiodicarb Insecticide must be fully dispersed in water first, followed by the addition of the intended tank-miX material. APPLICATION Begin application when insect populations reach recognized economic threshold levels. Consult the Cooperative Extension Service, Professional consultants or other qualied authorities to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in your area. Apply a minimum fini,hed spray volume of 3 gallons per acre by air or 15 gallons per acre by ground for sweet corn. Repeat application as needed 10 maintain control. Use higher dosage rales for heavy infestalions or large larvae. Use lower rates fOI light to moderate infestations. To clean the sprayer after usa, drain and flush with waler. DIRECTIONS FOR USE THROUGH SPRINKLI:R IRRIGATION SYSTEMS Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigalion systems including center pivot and solid set. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. SPRAY PREPARATION Remove scale, pesticide residues. and other foraigr mailer from the chemical tank and entire injector system. Flush with clean water. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS /-'irst prepare a suspension of LARVINa brand 250 Thiodicarb Insecticide in a mix tank. Fill tank with 112 to 3/4 the desirAd amount of water. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Add the required amount of LARVINII> brand 250 and Ihen the remaining volume of water. (Suspension concentrations using the appropriate dosage per acre recommended on this label of L'RVINII> brand 250 per I to 4 gaHons of water are recommended).Then set sprinkler to dever 0.1 to 0.3 inch of water per aCle. Start sprinkler and unormly inject .he suspension of LARVINa brand 250 inlo the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rale per acre. The suspension of LARVINII> brand 250 should be injected with 'a positive displa<. .m .. nt pump into the main line ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mixing. If you should have any other questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other expens. NOTE: When treatment with lARVINa brand 250 Thiodicarb Insecticide has been completed, further field irrigation over the treated area should be avoided for 24 to 48 hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop. GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR APPLlCAT:ONS THROUGH SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS Maintai'l continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure a undOlm suspension. Greater ac-:uracy in calibralion ane distriboJtion will be achieved by Iniecting a larger volume of a more dilule solution per unit ",,-,e. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the i"igatlOn pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide Injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-<:Iosing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid b'lck toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain 2. 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 eilher aut, naticallv or manually shutdown. The system must cor,tain functional int&:tocking conirols to automatically shut off the peslicide injection pump when the water pump motor SlopS. The irrigalion 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 ditribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, uch as a positive displacement injection pu"'o (e.g., diapragm pump) effectively desigr,ed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fined with a system interlock. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond tho area intended for treatment. 0 ... not apply when wind S!)Bed favors drift, when system c:mnection 0' fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide undorm distribution or when I;nes containing the product must be dismantled and drained. Crop inju'Y, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop may result from non-undorm distribution of tor ated water. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all I;nes and all nozzles before turr.ing off irrigatic'l .... ter. A 'p'o:scin knowledgeable of the chemigation system ane; responsible for its operation shall shut the sytem downdpn' m: .. ke nkes~~ry adjustments should the need arise. • : •• : Do not connect an irrigation system (including g,eenhouse systelT's) used fo' pesticide application to a public watN s),stem unless the labelllrescribed safety devices for public water supplies are In place. : '.,. • • ; ••• COMPATIBILITY • • • • • • • • • . . . . . . .. .' lARVINa 250 when dHutPd wh an equal volume of water, is physically compatible with a wide range of common~ used spray prodoxts, but the full ranq. of compatibildies under Icca! condions is not known.
