PROTECTION OF POLLINATORS IS EXIST FOR THIS PRODUCT BECAUSE OF RISK TO BEES AND OTHER INSECT POLLINATORS. FOLLOW APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS FOUND IN THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE TO PROTECT POLLINATORS. Look for the bee hazard icon N/ in the Directions for Use for each application site for specific use restrictions and instructions to protect bees and other insect pollinators. This product can kill bees and other insect pollinators. Bees and other insect pollinators will forage on plants when they flower, shed pollen, or produce nectar. Bees and other insect pollinators can be exposed to this pesticide from: o Direct contact during foliar applications, or contact with residues on plant surfaces after foliar applications o Ingestion of residues in nectar and pollen when the pesticide is applied as a seed treatment, soil, tree injection, as well as foliar applications. When Using This Product Take Steps To: o Minimize exposure of this product to bees and other insect pollinators when they are foraging on pollinator attractive plants around the application site. o Minimize drift of this product on to beehives or to off-site pollinator attractive habitat. Drift of this product onto beehives or off-site to pollinator attractive habitat can result in bee kills. Information on protecting bees and other insect pollinators may be found at the Pesticide Environmental Stewardship website at: http://pesticidestewardship.org/PollinatorProtection/Pages/default.aspx. Page 3 of 36
Pesticide incidents (for example, bee kills) should immediately be reported to the state/tribal lead agency. For contact information for your state, go to: www.aapco.org/officials.html. Pesticide incidents should also be reported to the National Pesticide Information Center at: www.npic.orst.edu or directly to EPA at: beekill@epa.gov 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. For Aerial Applications For aerial applications, mount the spray boom on the aircraft so to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. Use the minimum practical boom length. Do not exceed 75% of the wing span or rotor diameter. Release the spray at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight safety. Do not use applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy. 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, applications should be made to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient control and coverage. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the airstream as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure. 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 aerial or 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, sinkholes, or field drains. Airblast (Air Assist) Specific Recommendations for Tree Crops and Vineyards Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air stream. Follow specific drift management practices: Page 4 of36
• Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy. • Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy. • Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage. • Do not allow the spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area (i.e., turn off sprayer when turning at end rows). • Only spray inward, toward the orchard or vineyard, for application to the outside rows. No-Spray Zone Requirements for Soil and Foliar Applications Do not apply by ground, within 25 feet, or by air within 150 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 areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. When using Couraze 4F on erodible soils, employ the best management practice 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. Couraze 4F contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent tolerance 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. This may eventually result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Couraze 4F and to other Group 4A insecticides. The active ingredient in Couraze 4F is a member of the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests resistant to other chemical classes have not shown cross-resistance to Couraze 4F. In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry in insect species with high resistance development potential, it is recommended that for each crop season: 1) only a single, soil application of Couraze 4F be made; 2) foliar applications of products from the same class not be made following a long residual, soil application of Couraze 4F, or other neonicotinoid products. If a soil application of Couraze 4F has not been made during a crop season and foliar applications are to be made, avoid using a block of more than three consecutive applications of Couraze 4F and/or other Group 4A products having the same or similar mode of action. Following a neonicotinoid block of treatments, Cheminova strongly encourages the rotation to a block of applications with effective products with a different mode of action before using additional applications of neonicotinoid products. Using a block rotation or windowed approach, along with other IPM practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or delaying an insect's ability to develop resistance to this class of chemistry. Do not use foliar applications of Couraze 4F or other Group 4A products from neonicotinoid chemical class to be used on crops previously treated with a long-residual, soil-applied products from the neonicotinoid chemical class. Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: Actara, Assail, Calypso, Centric, Clutch, Couraze, Galiant, Impulse, Intruder, Leverage, Nuprid; Pasada, Provado, Trimax Pro, and Venom. Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as soil/seed treatments include: Admire Pro, Advise, Alias, Belay, Couraze, Cruiser, Gaucho, Macho, Macho Max, Nuprid, Platinum, Venom, and Widow. Contact your Cooperative Extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or product manufacturer for additional insect resistance management recommendations.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. See individual crops for specific pollinator protection application restrictions. If none exist under the specific crop, for foliar applications, follow these application directions for crops that are contracted to have pollinator services or for food/feed & commercially grown ornamentals that are attractive to pollinators:
- FOR CROPS UNDER CONTRACTED POLLINATION SERVICES Do not apply this product while bees are foraging. Do not apply this product until flowering is complete and all petals have fallen unless the following condition has been met: If an application must be made when managed bees are at the treatment site, the beekeeper providing the pollination services must be notified no less than 48-hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying.
- FOR FOOD CROPS AND COMMERCIALLY GROWN ORNAMENTALS NOT UNDER CONTRACT FOR POLLINATION SERVICES BUT ARE ATTRACTIVE TO POLLINATORS Do not apply this product while bees are foraging. Do not apply this product until flowering is complete and all petals have fallen unless one of the following conditions is met: • The application is made to the target site after sunset • The application is made to the target site when temperatures are below 55T • The application is made in accordance with a government-initiated public health response • The application is made in accordance with an active state administered apiary registry program where beekeepers are notified no less than 48-hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying Page 6 of36
• The application is made due to an imminent threat of significant crop loss, and a documented determination consistent with an IPM plan or predetermined economic threshold is met. Every effort should be made to notify beekeepers no less than 48-hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying. Do not apply this product, by any application method, to linden, basswood or other Tilia species in the State of Oregon. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry intervals. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. Exception: If the product 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. PPE 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 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 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS For soil applications of Couraze 4F, direct product into the seed or root zone of crop. Failure to place Couraze 4F into root zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. Couraze 4F may be applied with ground or chemigation application equipment. Do not apply Couraze 4F in enclosed structures such as planthouses or greenhouses except as specified in the TOBACCO, CUCURBIT VEGETABLES, FRUITING VEGETABLES and GREENHOUSE VEGETABLES, (Mature plants in production greenhouses): Cucumber, Tomato only sections of this label. Apply foliar applications of Couraze 4F as a directed or broadcast foliar spray. Thorough coverage of foliage is necessary without runoff for optimum insecticidal efficacy. Use adequate spray volumes, property calibrated application equipment, and spray adjuvant if necessary to obtain thorough coverage. Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of Couraze 4F on leaves and fruit may result in loss of insect control or delay in onset of activity. Couraze 4F may be applied with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Minimum spray volumes unless otherwise specified on crop specific application sections are 10 gallons per acre' by ground and 5 gallons per acre by air. Couraze 4F may also be applied by overhead chemigation (see additional information in "Chemigation" section of this label below) if allowed in crop specific application section. When applied as a soil application, optimum activity of Couraze 4F results from applications to the root- zone of plants to be protected. The earlier Couraze 4F is available to a developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. Couraze 4F is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time and the systemic nature of Couraze 4F allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the plant. This results in extended residual activity of Couraze 4F, the control of insects, and the prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The Page 7 of36
rate of Couraze 4F applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Higher rates within the specified rate range can be used when infestations occur later in crop development or where pest pressure is continuous. Couraze 4F 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. Additionally, specific application information for Couraze 4F 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 application of Couraze 4F. Complete control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures. Use of Couraze 4F on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is not permitted unless allowed under state specific, supplemental labeling. Additional information on uses of Couraze 4F for these crops and other questions may be obtained from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants, or local Cheminova, Inc. representatives. Application should be made 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. Couraze 4F should be pre-mixed with water or other appropriate diluents prior to application. Keep Couraze 4F 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, application section for a given crop. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the spray tank and with agitation, add Couraze 4F. Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. Couraze 4F may also be used with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions. Please see "Compatibility" section of this label. When tank mixtures of Couraze 4F 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; Couraze 4F 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, a fertilizer/pesticide compatibility agent may be needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture. Compatibility Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding Couraze 4F 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. CHEMIGATION Types of Irrigation Systems: Foliar chemigation applications of Couraze 4F may be made to crops through overhead sprinkler systems if specified in crop specific recommended application sections. Soil chemigation applications of Couraze 4F may only be made to crops through chemigation as specified in crop specific application sections and only through low pressure systems specifically recommended for a given crop. Do not apply Couraze 4F through any other type of irrigation system. Foliar chemigation applications of Couraze 4F should be made as concentrated as possible. Retention of Couraze 4F on target site of insect infestation is necessary for optimum activity. Chemigation of Couraze Page 8 of36
4F in water volumes exceeding .10 inches per acre are not recommended. See crop specific recommended application sections of the label for more information. 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. 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 systems 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 (RPZ), or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, 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.
