ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. 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. Protect pollinating insects by following label directions intended to minimize drift and to reduce risk to these organisms. Before beginning treatment, notify all registered apiarists in or near the treatment area of the date and approximate time of treatment. Reporting Ecological Incidents: To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and animals, call 1-800-331-3148. This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high potential for runoff after application. Use care when applying in or to an area which is adjacent to any body of water, and do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. 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 for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff.

Pollinator Protection: Managed pollinator protection plans are developed by states/tribes to promote communication between growers, landowners, farmers, beekeepers, pesticide users, and other pest management professionals to reduce exposure of bees to pesticides. If available, visit state plans for additional information on how to protect pollinators. Pollinator Best Management Practices (Agricultural Uses): Following best management practices can help reduce risk to terrestrial pollinators. Examples of best management practices include applying pesticides in the evening and at night when pollinators are not foraging and checking to confirm hive locations before spraying. For additional resources on pollinator best management practices, visit https://www.epa.gov/pollinator-protection/find-best-management-practices-protect-pollinators. Pollinator Best Management Practices (Non-Agricultural Uses): Following best management practices can help reduce risk to terrestrial pollinators. Examples of best management practices include applying pesticides in the evening and at night when pollinators are not foraging and avoiding applications to flowering plants. For additional resources on pollinator best management practices, visit https://www.epa.gov/pollinator-protection/find-best-management-practices-protect-pollinators.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, Fyfanon ULV AG contains a Group 1B insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Fyfanon ULV AG and other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides/acaricides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay insecticide/acaricide resistance, take the following steps: • Rotate the use of Fyfanon ULV AG or other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. • Use tank mixtures with insecticides/acaricides 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): 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 classification 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.
• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. • 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. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors 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 FMC representatives at 1-800-331- 3148. Pollinator Protection, continued: How to Report Bee Kills: It is recommended that users contact both the state lead agency and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to report bee kills due to pesticide application. Bee kills can be reported to EPA at beekill@epa.gov. To contact your state lead agency, see the current listing of state pesticide regulatory agencies at the National Pesticide Information Center’s website: http://npic.orst.edu/reg/state_agencies.html.
Reporting Ecological Incidents: To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and animals, call 1-800-331-3148.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT ULV Ground Boom Applications: • Do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. • Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.
ULV Aerial Applications: • Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. • Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver fine or coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard (ASABE S641). • Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. • Applicators must use a full swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Additional Spray Drift Requirements Observe the following requirements when spraying in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as, but not limited to lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or natural ponds; estuaries and commercial fish ponds. Buffer Zones for Ground-based ULV Application to Pasture/Rangeland: Do not apply within 50 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, wetlands, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). This 50-foot buffer is in addition to the full swath displacement upwind that applicators must use at the downwind edge of the field.
Buffer Zones for Aerial ULV Application: Do not apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, wetlands, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). This 100-foot buffer is in addition to the full swath displacement upwind that applicators must use at the downwind edge of the field. Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. Inversions are
characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with increasing distance above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. Where permissible by local regulations, the applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface. In conditions of low humidity and high temperatures, applicators should use a coarser droplet size. Agricultural Uses Fyfanon ULV AG is used undiluted in any specially designed aircraft or ground equipment that has been adapted and calibrated for ultra low volume spraying. Apply only when weather conditions are favorable. Wind and rising air currents may cause undesirable spray drift and reduce insect control.

PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR APPLICATION TO COTTON TO CONTROL BOLL WEEVIL Treatment supervisors and applicators must be aware of all sensitive areas near cotton fields, including: schools, hospitals, nursing homes, churches, occupied dwellings, parks, recreation areas, bodies of water, and potential habitat for threatened and endangered species. For aerial applications, spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter is 100 microns (Dv 0.5 = 100um) or greater. The effects of flight speed, nozzle angle and type, and pump pressure on the droplet size spectrum must be considered. Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with pest control and flight safety. Global positioning systems (GPS) should be used to guide pilots and to monitor each application. Ground equipment should utilize a controlled air flow to facilitate particle size and spray deposition, and should be used at a vehicle speed of 4 to 10 mph. Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter is 100 microns (Dv 0.5 = 100um) or greater. Ground equipment should be used to treat field edges when possible, covering areas that cannot be treated effectively with aircraft because of obstructions which may affect applicator safety, or where there is boll weevil over-wintering habitat adjacent to the treatment area, or if there are adjacent sensitive areas. Treatments should be applied when winds are calm or moving away from adjacent sensitive areas. When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for his displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Do not make aerial or ground applications into temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface. Applications will not be made when people are in or near infested cotton fields or, to the degree possible, when people are present in or near adjacent sensitive areas. Application will not be made when rainfall is imminent. FMC does not recommend that application be made to wet foliage. Before beginning treatment, program personnel shall notify all registered apiarists in or near the treatment area of the date and approximate time of treatment.
