for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other
laundry.
Engineering Control Statements
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the
requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR
170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the
WPS.
User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the
toilet.
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and
put on clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops/plants or
weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops/plants or weeds while
bees are foraging in or adjacent to the treatment area.
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas
below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to
aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or
disposing of equipment wash waters.
• Surface Water Advisory
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a
high potential for runoff for several months or more 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 (See manual at the
following internet address: http://www.wcc.nrcs.usda.qov/pestmgt/core4.htmn.

-7-4-
Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to
occur within 48 hours.
Ground Water Advisory
Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
Spray Drift Advisory
Do not allow this product to drift.

t./m
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Actara 240 SC controls many sucking and chewing insects through contact and ingestion on the
crops listed on this label.
For best performance, always follow these directions:
• Actara 240 SC should be applied when insect pest populations begin to build, but before
populations reach economically damaging levels. Economic thresholds for pests controlled
by Actara may be available from your local agricultural authorities.
• Actara 240 SC is a selective insecticide, and its use is compatible with integrated pest
management programs. However, Actara 240 SC is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct
treatment or to residues on blooming crops/plants and weeds. Do not apply Actara 240 SC
or allow it to drift onto blooming plants if bees are foraging in the treated area.
• Actara 240 SC is rapidly taken up into foliage after application. However, thorough spray
coverage is essential for optimal performance. Apply Actara 240 SC in sufficient water to
ensure good coverage. See specific application information in the Crop Use Directions
section of this label. The use of higher water volumes will generally result in better
coverage, especially under adverse conditions (e.g., hot, dry) or where a dense plant
canopy exists. The use of a spray adjuvant may improve spray coverage but is not required.
• Actara 240 SC is rainfast once the spray solution has dried on treated plants.
• Actara 240 SC may aid in the suppression of some pests. Suppression can mean either
inconsistent control (good to poor), or consistent control at a level below that generally
considered acceptable for commercial control.
• Actara 240 SC has a wide margin of plant safety when used in accordance with this label.
If the maximum season limit of thiamethoxam as defined in the Crop Use Directions
section of this label has been applied and pest populations require additional treatments,
use another registered pesticide that is not in the neonicotinoid class of chemistry.

-12-
Resistance Management
Some insect pests are known to develop resistance to products after repeated use. Because
resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to sound
resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area. Syngenta encourages
responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term control of the insects on this
label.
Actara 240 SC contains a Group 4A insecticide (thiamethoxam, belonging to the neonicotinoid
class of chemistry). Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance 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 result in partial
or total loss of control of those species by Actara 240 SC or other Group 4A insecticides.
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 Actara 240 SC be made.
2. Foliar applications of Group 4A insecticides not be made following a long residual, soil
application of Actara 240 SC, or other seed- or soil-applied Group 4A insecticides.
Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) practices include:
• Incorporating IPM techniques into your insect control program.
• Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy.
• Using tank mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a different target site of action Group
as long as the involved products are all registered for the same crop outlet and effective
rates are applied.
For additional information on Insect Resistance Management:
• Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product manufacturer
for additional insect resistance management recommendations.
• Visit the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://www.irac-
online.org/.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Ground Application
Spray nozzles should be selected which will provide accurate and uniform spray deposition.
Use spray nozzles which provide medium-sized droplets and reduce drift. To help ensure
accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For information on spray equipment and
calibration, consult nozzle manufacturers and/or State Extension Service specialists.
Apply Actara 240 SC using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage.
In situations where a dense canopy exists and/or pest pressure is high, use greater water
volumes. The use of a spray adjuvant may improve spray coverage but is not required. Avoid
making applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where
excessive spray drift may occur.

m-13-
Precautions: (1) When using water volumes of 5-10 gals., fine-sized droplets may be used to
improve spray coverage. (2) Select nozzles which produce the desired droplet sizes at the
normal rated pressure range. (3) When spraying fine-sized droplets, carefully check all nozzles
for flow and calibrate the sprayer. (4) The sprayer should travel at a uniform speed across the
field. (5) Monitor environmental conditions and follow Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift
carefully.
Aerial Application
Apply Actara 240 SC in water, using the minimum spray volume indicated in the Crop Use
Directions section of this label. Increase spray volume where practical to improve coverage.
Avoid making application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or
where excessive spray drift may occur.
Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift
As with all crop protection products, it is important to avoid off-target movement. Do not allow
spray to drift onto adjacent land, crops, or aquatic areas. Follow these recommendations to
avoid spray drift:
• Make applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3-
10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. Avoid applications when wind
gusts approach 10 mph.
• Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when
wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
• Do not cultivate or plant crops within 25 ft. of the aquatic area so as to allow growth of a
vegetative filter strip.
• Do not make applications during temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by
stable air and increasing temperatures with increased 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.
• 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.
• Apply as close to target plants as practical to obtain a good spray pattern for adequate
coverage. Applications more than 10 ft. above the crop canopy should be avoided.
• 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.

Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) - Potatoes and Cranberry Only
Cranberry - Solid-Set Sprinkler System Only (See Crop Use Directions)
Actara 240 SC alone or in combination with other products which are registered for application
through sprinkler irrigation may be applied through irrigation systems. Apply this product only
through center-pivot, solid-set, hand-move, or moving-wheel irrigation systems. Do not apply
Actara 240 SC through any other type of irrigation system. Lack of effectiveness or illegal
pesticide residues can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have
questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment
manufacturers, or other experts. 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.
Using Water from Public Water Systems: DO NOT APPLY ACTARA 240 SC THROUGH
ANY IRRIGATION SYSTEM PHYSICALLY CONNECTED TO A PUBLIC WATER SYSTEM.
Public water system 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. Actara 240 SC may be applied
through irrigation systems, which may be supplied by a public water system only if the water
from the public water system is 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.
Before beginning chemigation, always make sure that the air gap exists and that there is no
blockage of the overflow of the reservoir tank.
Any irrigation system using water supplied from a public water system must also meet the
following requirements.
Operating Instructions for All Recommended Types of Irrigation Systems
1. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified. If you have questions
about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment
manufacturers, or other experts.
2. 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.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check-
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. 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.
5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.

-15-
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended.
Calibration and Application Instructions
Actara 240 SC should be applied under the schedule specified in the specific crop use
recommendations, not according to the irrigation schedule unless the events coincide.
In general, set the equipment to apply the minimum amount of water per acre. Run the system
at 85 - 90% of the manufacturer's maximum rated travel speed.
The following calibration and application techniques are provided for user reference, but do not
constitute a warranty of fitness for application through sprinkler irrigation equipment. Users
should check with state and local regulatory agencies for potential use restrictions before
applying any agricultural chemical through sprinkler irrigation equipment.
Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Notes: (1) Use only drive systems that provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do not use end
guns when chemigating Actara 240 SC through center pivot systems because of non-uniform
application. (3) Plug the first nozzle closest to the well-head to protect the water source.
1. Determine the size of the area to be treated.
2. Determine the time required to apply 0.1 - 0.25 inches of water over the area to be treated
when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as
recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Run the system at 80 - 95% of the
manufacturer's rated maximum travel speed.
3. Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure.
4. Determine the amount of Actara 240 SC, and any tank mix partners, required to treat the
area covered by the irrigation system.
5. Add the required amount of Actara 240 SC, any tank mix partners, and sufficient water to
meet the injection time requirements to the solution tank. (See Mixing Procedures section
of this label.)
6. Make sure the system is fully charged with water before starting injection of the Actara 240
SC solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to full
pressure.
7. Maintain constant agitation in the solution tank during the injection period.

/7
-16-
8. Inject the specified amount of Actara 240 SC per acre continuously for one complete
revolution of the system.
9. Stop the injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system
until the Actara 240 SC solution has cleared all of the sprinkler heads.
10. Allow time for all lines to flush the pesticide through all nozzles before turning off irrigation
water.
Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment
1. Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers.
2. Fill injector solution tank with plain water and calibrate the flow rate of the system to deliver
the contents of the tank over a 20-40 minute time interval.
3. Determine the amount of Actara 240 SC required to treat the area covered by the irrigation
system.
4. Add the required amount of Actara 240 SC, and any other tank mix partners, into the same
quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period. (See Mixing Procedures section of
this label.)
5. Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval established during the
calibration.
6. Inject specified amount of Actara 240 SC per acre for either a 20-40 minute period at the
end of a regular irrigation set, or as a 20-40 minute injection as a separate application not
associated with a regular irrigation to maximize retention pf the insecticide by the foliage.
7. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until
the Actara 240 SC solution has cleared the last sprinkler head. To ensure lines are flushed
and free from remaining pesticides, a dye indicator may be injected into the lines to mark
the end of the application period.
MIXING PROCEDURES
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean
spray equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal
of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not let the
spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following
each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area. Keep product container tightly
closed when not in use.
Actara 240 SC Alone
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the
desired amount of Actara 240 SC to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of
the water. Begin application of the solution after Actara 240 SC has completely dispersed into
the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Actara 240 SC + Tank Mixtures

I*.
-17-
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before
adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order:
products packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules, liquid
flowables, liquids, emulsifiable concentrates, and surfactants / adjuvants. Always allow each
tank mix partner to become fully dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient
agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has
been applied.
Note: When using Actara 240 SC in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging
should be added to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including Actara 240 SC. Allow
the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse
before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank.
If using Actara 240 SC in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates,
dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations, which appear on the tank mix product label. No
label dosage rate should be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations
should be followed. This product should not be mixed with any product which prohibits such
mixing. Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted
only in those states in which the referenced products are labeled.
Compatibility
Actara 240 SC is compatible with most commonly used pesticides, crop oils, adjuvants, and
nutritional sprays. However, since it is not possible to test all possible mixtures, the user should
pre-test to assure the physical compatibility and lack of phytotoxic effect of any proposed
mixtures with Actara 240 SC. To determine the physical compatibility of Actara 240 SC with
other products, use a jar test, as described below.
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable
powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable
concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination
remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has

CROP USE DIRECTIONS
Pollinator Precautions
• Actara 240 SC is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming
crops/plants or weeds.
o For apples, do not apply Actara 240 SC after pre-bloom (early pink growth stage) or
before post bloom (petal fall growth stage).
o For pears, do not apply Actara 240 SC after pre-bloom (green cluster stage) or before
post bloom (petal fall growth stage).
o For stone fruit, do not apply Actara 240 SC between the pre-bloom (swollen bud) and
post bloom (petal fall) growth stages.
• Do not apply Actara 240 SC or allow it to drift to blooming crops/plants or weeds if bees are
foraging in or adjacent to the treatment area. This is especially critical if there are
adjacent orchards that are blooming (Refer to Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift for
additional information).
• After an Actara 240 SC application, wait at least 5 days before placing beehives in the
treated field.
• If bees are foraging in the ground cover and it contains any blooming plants or weeds,
always remove flowers before making an application. This may be accomplished by
mowing, disking, mulching, flailing, or applying a labeled herbicide.
• Consult with your local cooperative extension service or state agency responsible for
regulating pesticide use for additional pollinator safety practices.
