Dear Niamh McMahon: 
 
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the 
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable. This 
approval does not affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You 
continue to be subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected 
with them. 
 
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all 
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you 
release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR 152.130(c), 
you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months 
from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it 
bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is 
defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3. 
 
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please 
be aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the 
Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to 
sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of 
statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website 
is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ 
from those claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find 
or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or

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.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
Thoroughly clean all sprayer components prior to mixing. Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of 
water to the spray tank and begin agitation. Add the required amount of ORTHENE 97 PELLETS insecticide 
and mix thoroughly. Then add other tank mix partners or foliar feed additives and the remaining water. 
Maintain agitation during filling and spraying to ensure a uniform spray mixture. 
 
{NOTE TO REVIEWER: This paragraph of the Mixing Instructions Section will not appear on commercial 
labels with only non-food crop turf, tree and ornamental-type uses.} 
[For application equipment which has minimal agitation, such as tobacco transplant water equipment, proper 
attention to mixing the product should be given. With tobacco transplant water applications, the product should 
be premixed in water to form a slurry prior to putting the product into the transplant water applicator. If 
premixing is not done, then adequate time should be allowed for the product to dissolve in the transplant water 
prior to beginning application.]

{NOTE TO REVEIWER: The following Spray Drift Management section will be used on commercial labels that 
contain crop uses.} 
[
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
A variety of factors including weather conditions, (e.g., wind directions, 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. 
• All aerial, ground and air-assisted/airblast application equipment must be properly maintained and 
calibrated using water as the 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 
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 wing span 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 the 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 the wind speed is 10 mph or less at the application site as measured by an anemometer. 
Use medium or coarser spray according to the ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for 
spinning atomizer nozzles.

• 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. 
• The applicator also must use all other measures necessary to control drift. ]

Resistance Management 
For resistance management, ORTHENE 97 PELLETS contains acephate, a Group 1 insecticide. Any insect 
population may contain individuals naturally resistant to ORTHENE 97 PELLETS 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 97 PELLETS 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.

Page 7 of 41 
• 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.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
Cotton pest control programs should employ a properly designed resistance management strategy. Such 
resistance management strategies include mixture or rotation of alternative classes of chemistry including 
organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids or insect growth regulators. Consult your state or area agricultural 
extension service for local resistance management strategies and advice on alternative insecticides.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
Cotton pest control programs, especially those for control of Silverleaf Whitefly populations, should employ a 
properly designed resistance management strategy. Such resistance management strategies include mixture or 
rotation of alternative classes of chemistry including organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids or insect 
growth regulators. Consult your state or area agricultural extension service for local resistance management 
strategies and advice on alternative insecticides.

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 ir rigation 
pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.

Page 13 of 41 
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 irri gation 
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. 
 
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 
lines to flush the pesticide through all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. To ensure the lines are flushed and fre e of remaining 
pesticide, a dye indicator 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. Inje ct 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.

herbicides, provided those products do not 
prohibit tank mixes, provided the most 
restrictive of label limitations and

To determine physical compatibility, pour 
the recommended proportions of each 
chemical with the same proportion of water 
as will be present in the chemical supply 
tank into a suitable container, mix 
thoroughly and allow to stand for 5 minutes. 
If the combination remains mixed, or can be 
remixed readily, the mixture is considered 
physically compatible. When mixing 
wettable powder or dry flowable 
formulations, add and disperse these 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 readily, AMVAC recommends that 
the combination not be used. 
 
Combinations should be kept agitated and 
should be applied immediately. Do not 
allow combinations to sit for prolonged

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

Note to User: One pound of ORTHENE 97 PELLETS contains 441,799 mg AI (acephate). Example for 
calculating mg of active ingredient (ai) per seed: 6.4 oz. of ORTHENE 97 PELLETS contains 176,719 mg of 
AI (acephate). To calculate the number of milligrams per seed in the bag, determine the number of seeds per 
bag and the weight of the seeds: In this example a 50 lb treated bag contains 230,000 seeds, 100 lbs is the 
equivalent of 460,000 seeds. For each 100 lbs. there is 176,719 mg of acephate from ORTHENE 97 PELLETS 
(6.4 oz ORTHENE 97 PELLETS/100 lbs of seed). The mg of acephate per seed in this example is 176,719 mg 
÷ 460,000 seeds = 0.384 mg/seed.
