ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide 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. This
pesticide is toxic to wildlife and aquatic invertebrates.
Runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic
organisms in neighboring areas.
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface
water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean
high water mark. Do not contaminate water when
disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Dimethoate is known to leach through soil into ground
water under certain conditions as a result of label use.
Use of the chemical in areas where soils are permeable,
particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in
ground-water contamination.
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray
in wind. This product has a high potential for runoff for
several days after application. 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. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48
hours.
A vegetative filter strip constructed and maintained in
accordance with the 2000 Natural Resource
Conservation Service publication "Conservation Buffers
to Reduce Pesticide Losses
(http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/feature/buffers0 will
significantly reduce the potential for contamination of
water from rainfall-runoff."
SPECIMEN LABEL

REQUIREMENTS FOR REDUCING SPRAY DRFIT
Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to
unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings
that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for
sale, use or consumption can occur.
1. Use the largest droplet size consistent with
acceptable efficacy. Formation of very small droplets
may 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. For groundboom and aerial applications,
use medium or coarser spray nozzles according to
ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or a volume
mean diameter (VMD) of 300 microns or greater for
spinning atomizer nozzles.
2. Make aerial or ground applications when the wind
velocity favors on-target product deposition. Apply
only when the wind speed is less than or equal to 10
mph. For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must
be measured adjacent to the application site on the
upwind side, immediately prior to application.
3. 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
SPECIMEN LABEL
of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a
smoke layer near the ground surface.
4. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the
evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the
likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying
during conditions of low humidity and/or high
temperatures.
5. All aerial and ground application equipment must be
properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate
carriers.
6. For groundboom applications, apply with nozzle
height no more than 4 feet above the ground or
canopy.
7. For airblast applications, turn off outward pointing
nozzles at row ends when spraying the outer two
rows. To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard
applications, spray must be directed into the canopy.
8. For aerial applications, release spray at the lowest
height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. If the
application includes an aquatic buffer zone, do not
release spray at a height greaterthan 10 feet above
the ground or crop canopy.
9. 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
the wingspan of 90% of rotor blade diameter. Use
upwind swath displacement.

greenhouses); and, from any use in or around public or
private buildings or structures (including recreational
facilities, theaters, hotels, or other buildings used for
public accommodation, or in any other commercial,
industrial, or institutional building), or on any articles
associated with such structures, including refuse areas,
building contents and landscaping (but not including
outdoor commercial ornamental tree and shrub
production areas). When applying by ground equipment,
use the recommended amount in sufficient water for
thorough coverage; by aircraft, in 3 to 10 gallons of water
unless otherwise specified. Do not apply when weather
conditions favor drift of spray from areas treated. Repeat
applications as necessary unless otherwise specified.
Consult your state experiment station or state extension
service for proper timing of applications.
Dimethoate Insecticide is sensitive to Alkaline Hydrolysis
and subject to degradation of active ingredient by strong
acids, strong bases, and certain heavy metal oxides and
salts. Degradation can cause reduced effectiveness of
the pesticide performance.
DO NOT ADD DIMETHOATE TO WATER WITH PH
VALUES BELOW 4.0 OR ABOVE 7.0. If necessary,
water should be buffered within this range with Buffer
