FIRST AID
Acephate is an organophosphate, cholinesterase inhibitor.
If swallowed: • Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.
• Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow.
• Do not induce vomiting unless told to by a poison control center or doctor.
• Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If in eyes: • Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes.
• Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue rinsing eye.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
If on skin or
clothing:
• Take off contaminated clothing.
• Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
If inhaled: • Move person to fresh air.
• If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial respiration,
preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
This material contains a cholinesterase inhibitor. Measurement of blood cholinesterase activity may be useful in
monitoring exposure but decisions regarding treatment will usually need to be made before test results are
available. If signs of cholinesterase inhibition appear, atropine sulfate is antidotal. 2- PAM (PROTOPAM) is also
antidotal and may be used in conjunction with atropine but should not be used alone.

EMERGENCY INFORMATION
Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment.

TANK MIXES
It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable
restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.


Read and follow the entire label of each product to be used in the tank mix with this product.

WATER SOLUBLE PACKAGING

Instructions for Using Water Soluble Packages Directly into Spray tanks:

Water Soluble Packages (WSPs) are designed to dissolve in water. Agitation may be used, if necessary, to help
dissolve the WSP. Failure to follow handling and mixing instructions can increase your exposure to the pesticide
products in WSPs. WSPs, when used properly, qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Agricultural
Worker Protection Standard [40 CFR 170.607(d)].

Handling Instructions
Follow these steps when handling pesticide products in WSPs.

1. Mix in spray tank only.
2. Handle WSP(s) in a manner that protects package from breakage and/or unintended release of contents. If
package is broken, put on PPE required for clean-up and then continue with mixing instructions.
3. Keep the WSP(s) in outer packaging until just before use.
4. Keep the WSP dry prior to adding to the spray tank.
5. Handle with dry gloves and according to the label instructions for PPE.
6. Keep WSP intact. Do not cut or puncture WSP.
7. Reseal the WSP outer packaging to protect any unused WSP(s).

Mixing Instructions
Follow the steps below when mixing this product, including if tank mixed with other pesticide products. If being
tank mixed, the mixing directions 1 through 9 below take precedence over the mixing directions of the other tank
mix products. WSPs may, in some cases, be mixed with other pesticide products so long as the directions for use of
all mixed products do not conflict. Do not tank mix this product with products that prohibit tank mixing or have
conflicting mixing directions.
1. If a basket or strainer is present in the tank hatch, remove prior to adding the WSP to the tank.
2. Fill tank with water to approximately one-third to one-half of the desired final volume of spray.
3. Stop adding water and stop any agitation.
4. Place intact/unopened WSP(s) into the tank.
5. Do not spray water from a hose or fill pipe to break or dissolve the WSP(s).
6. Start mechanical and recirculation agitation from the bottom of tank without using any overhead
recirculation, if possible. If overhead recirculation cannot be turned off, close the hatch before starting
agitation.
7. Dissolving the WSP(s) may take up to 5 minutes or longer, depending on water temperature, water
hardness and intensity of agitation.
8. Stop agitation before tank lid is opened.
9. Open the lid to the tank, exercising caution to avoid contact with dusts or spray mix, to verify that the
WSPs have fully dissolved and the contents have been thoroughly mixed into the solution.
10. Do not add other allowed products or complete filling the tank until the bags have fully dissolved and
pesticide is thoroughly mixed.
11. Once the WSP have fully dissolved and any other products have been added to the tank, resume filling the
tank with water to the desired level, close the tank lid, and resume agitation.
12. Use the spray solution when mixing is complete.
13. Maintain agitation of the diluted pesticide mix during transport and application.
14. It is unlawful to use any registered pesticide, including WSPs, in a manner inconsistent with its label.

 PRODUCT INFORMATION

Orthene 75 S Soluble Powder is an insecticide for control of pests on selected agricultural crops and in certain non- crop
areas. The active ingredient in Orthene 75 S Soluble Powder is acephate, a water-soluble insecticide readily absorbed by
plant roots and foliage to give systemic control of feeding insects. Insect pests are generally controlled more effectively
by Orthene 75 S Soluble Powder through ingestion than by contact. Application of Orthene 75 S Soluble Powder to
maintain control should be repeated only as directed.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN
POOR INSECT CONTROL, CROP INJURY AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

USE RESTRICTIONS
• For use on turf, use limited to sod farms and golf courses, except when applying to mound or spot treatment for fire
ant and harvester ant control.
• Do not apply with low pressure handwand except for control of fire ants as a mound treatment and when used on
ornamental trees, shrubs and floral plants grown for non-agricultural or non-commercial use.
• Not for indoor residential use. Not for use in residential greenhouses.
• For greenhouse use, use is limited to commercial greenhouses for use on ornamental plants, floral crops, ground
covers and foliage plant crops (plants not produced for cut flower production) and tobacco (floatbed application).

CHEMIGATION

Apply to cranberries only by sprinkler irrigation systems. Do not apply by chemigation to any other crop, or this
crop using any other type of irrigation system.


SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
A variety of factors including weather conditions, (e.g., wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and
method of application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator and
grower must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product. Do not allow spray to
drift from the application site and contact people, structures people occupy at any time and the associated property,
parks and recreation areas, nontarget crops, aquatic and wetland areas, woodlands, pastures, rangelands or animals.

• All aerial, ground and air -assisted/airblast application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using
water as carrier. {This sentence to be used for products NOT containing “NON -CROP AREAS – Wasteland”:} [Do
not apply this product as an ultralow (ULV) spray, or in any carrier other than water]. { This sentence to be used for
products containing “NON-CROP AREAS - Wasteland:}[ Do not apply this product as an ultralow (ULV) spray, or
in any carrier other than water, except as specified in the use instructions for “NON-CROP AREAS – Wasteland”]
• Use the largest droplet size consistent with good pest control. Small droplets are more prone to spray drift and can
be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible,
and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure.
• Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 10 mph at the application site.
• Make applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph).
• Apply as close to target plants as practical to obtain a good spray pattern for adequate coverage.
• For aerial applications, do not apply at heights greater than 10 feet (consistent with flight safety).
• For airblast applications, direct spray above foliage and turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and outer
rows. Apply only when wind speed is 3 to 10 mph at the application site as measured by an anemometer outside of
the treated area on the upwind side.
• For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing
tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used and must not exceed 75% of wing span or rotor
diameter. The boom width must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotary blade. Use upwind swath
displacement and apply only when wind speed is 3 to 10 mph as measured by an anemometer. Use medium or
coarser spray according to ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for spinning atomizer nozzles. If
application includes a no-spray zone, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground.
• For ground boom applications apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy and
when wind speed is 10 mph or less at the application site as measured by an anemometer. Use medium or coarser
spray according to ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for spinning atomizer nozzles. The
applicator also must use all other measures necessary to control drift.

Resistance Management

For resistance management, ORTHENE 75 S Soluble Powder contains acephate, a Group 1 insecticide. Any insect
population may contain individuals naturally resistant to ORTHENE 75 S Soluble Powder and other Group 1
insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used
repeatedly in the same locations. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.

To delay insecticide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:

• Rotate the use of ORTHENE 75 S Soluble Powder or other Group 1 insecticides within the year with different
groups that control the same pests.
• Use tank mixtures with insecticides 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 the mixture. In
addition, consider the following recommendations from the Insect 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 pests.
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 greater 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 insect management program for insecticide use that includes scouting, uses historical
information related to pesticide use 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 pest control advisor for any additional pesticide resistance -
management and/or IPM recommendations for specific site and pest problems in your area.

For further information or to report suspected resistance contact AMVAC at (1 -888-462-6822). You can also contact
your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

APPLICATION TO CRANBERRIES:

This product may only be applied through
sprinkler irrigation systems including center
pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll,
travelers, big gun, solid set, or hand move. Do
not apply this product through any other type
of irrigation system.

Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal
pesticide residues in the crop may result from
non-uniform distribution of treated water.
90

If you have questions about calibration, you
should contact State Extension Service
specialists, equipment manufacturers or other
experts.

Chemigation: Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the label
prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.

A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsib le person, shall shut the
system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.

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 intak e 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 i s 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 wa ter 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.

Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Solid Set System: Apply specified dosage for the entire length of the irrigation period or for a 30 to 60 minute period at the end of a regular irrigation set
or as a 30 to 60 minute injection as a separate application not associated with a regular irrigation. Allow time for all line s to flush the pesticide through
all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. To ensure the lines are flushed and free of remaining pesticide, a dye indic ator may be injected into the
lines to mark the end of the application period. See NOTE.

Center Pivot Systems: Inject the specified dosage per acre continuously for one complete revolution of the system. See NOTE.

NOTE: Constant agitation must be maintained in the chemical supply tank during the entire period of insecticide application. Inject the product with a
positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right turn to ensure adequate mixing.

Application of more than label-recommended quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in decreased product performance by removing
the chemical from the zone of effectiveness.

first, then add liquid pesticides. Conduct
another compatibility test at
concentrations which will be present in
the irrigation lines. If there is any
separation, which cannot be remixed
