3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
Endeavor is an insecticide that controls aphids and whiteflies on landscape
ornamentals; field-grown ornamentals; container-grown ornamentals; non-bearing fruit
and nut trees in nurseries; Christmas trees; ground covers; ornamental plants in
greenhouses, lath houses and shade houses, and interiorscapes; and vegetable plants
grown for sale to consumers and produced in greenhouses, nurseries, lath and shade
houses, and other outdoor growing structures.
3.0.1 MODE OF ACTION
Endeavor has a mode of action that controls aphids and whiteflies by stopping their
feeding activity. These insects stop feeding within hours, but remain on the plant for a
short time (2-4 days). Endeavor has residual activity in the plant and will control aphids
and whiteflies that move onto the plant after spraying.
3.0.2 PLANT SAFETY
Endeavor has been evaluated for phytotoxicity on many greenhouse, nursery, and
ornamental plants. All plants tested under university research and commercial
production conditions have not shown phytotoxicity at labeled rates of Endeavor. While
many species and cultivars have been tested, a small group of each specie and cultivar
should be evaluated for phytotoxicity two weeks prior to making applications to the
entire crop. Foliar applications should not be made to poinsettias after bract formation.
3.1 Resistance Management
PYMETROZINE GROUP 9B INSECTICIDE
For resistance management, Endeavor contains a Group 9B/pymetrozine insecticide. Any insect
population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Endeavor and other Group 9B
insecticides. The resistant individuals may domi nate the insect population if this group of
insecticides are used repeatedly in the same areas. Appropriate resistance-management
strategies should be followed.
Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) Practices
To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
x Rotate the use of Endeavor or other Group 9B insecticides within a growing season, or
among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
x 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 a mixture. In addition, consider the
following recommendations provided by the Insecticide 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
Endeavor
7
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 pest(s).
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 greatest
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.
x Adopt an integrated pest 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.
x 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 Syngenta representative, retailer, or extension specialist for any additional
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest
problems in your area.

3.1.1 SUITABILITY FOR INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS
Endeavor is suitable for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs as it has a low
toxicity to beneficial insects (including honeybees and bumblebees) and mite
populations.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
4.1 Methods of Application
4.1.1 FOLIAR APPLICATION
Foliar application rates are listed in Section 6.0. Apply Endeavor when pest
populations are low to prevent the increase of that population to damaging levels.
When making foliar applications to plants with hard-to-wet foliage, such as holly, ivy, or
pine, the addition of a non-ionic or organosilicone-based surfactant to improve coverage
is recommended. Follow products use directions and rate recommendations. If
concentrate, mist-type or other low volume application equipment is used to apply
Endeavor, apply the same amount of product per area as you would use if applying with
higher application volumes.
4.1.2 DRENCH APPLICATION TO SOIL MEDIA
Endeavor can be applied to the growing media of containerized plants to control listed
pests. Apply Endeavor when pest populations are low to prevent the increase of that
population to damaging levels. Apply to moist soil media. Avoid leaching. For
application to transplanted plugs and liners, do not apply drench to soil media until root
growth has resumed. Excessive irrigation after application could reduce insect control.
For drench applications, prepare a dilute drench solution by mixing Endeavor in water at
the rate listed in Section 7.0. Apply drench solution to containers, flats, trays, benches
or beds according to the application rates given in Section 7.0. Drench volume should
be sufficient to thoroughly wet soil media without overflowing or leaching from the
container. Irrigate during the next seven days following treatment to avoid leaching.
Endeavor
9
4.2 Application Equipment
x Use sprayer nozzles that provide accurate, uniform application to provide best
control.
x Calibrate sprayer to insure delivery of adequate spray volume per unit area.
x To avoid spray drift, do not apply when co nditions favor drift beyond the target area.
x Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur.
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage
x Use sufficient water to provide thorough, uniform coverage.
4.4 Mixing Directions
x Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation.
x Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product.
x Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product.
x Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation.
x Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.
x Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a
previously treated area.
4.4.1 Endeavor Alone
1. Add ½ of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
2. With the agitator running, add the Endeavor to the tank.
3. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
4. Begin application of the solution after the Endeavor has completely dispersed into
the mix water.
5. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
4.4.2 Tank Mix Precautions
x If using Endeavor in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be
added to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including Endeavor.
x 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.
x It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are
registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank
mixture. No label dosage rate should be exceeded. 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.
4.4.3 Tank Mix Compatibility
Endeavor is compatible with most insecticide and fungicide products. However, the
physical compatibility of Endeavor with tank mix partners should be tested before use.
To determine the physical compatibility of Endeavor with other products, use a jar test.
Endeavor
10
Using a 1½ qt 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 been proven, use the same procedure for adding
required ingredients to the spray tank.
Compatibility Test: Since pesticides, adjuvants, and fertilizers can vary in quality,
always check tank-mix compatibility with tank-mixed partners before each use. Be
especially careful when using complete suspension or fluid fertilizers as carriers, as
serious compatibility problems are more likely to occur with these products. Commercial
application equipment may improve tank-mix compatibility in some instances. The
following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gal/A. For other spray volumes, make
appropriate changes in the components. Check tank-mix compatibility using this
procedure:
1. Add 1 pt of carrier (either the water or liquid fertilizer to be used in the spray
operation) to each of two clear 1-qt jars with tight lids.
2. To one of the jars, add ¼ tsp or 1.2 mL of a commercially available tank-mix
compatibility agent approved for this use (¼ tsp is equivalent to 2 pt/100 gallons
spray). Invert the jar, then shake or stir gently to ensure thorough mixing.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of each tank-mix partner. If more than one
tank-mix partner is to be used, add them separately with dry formulations (wettable
powders or water dispersible granules) first, followed by liquid flowables, capsule
suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates and finally adjuvants. After each addition,
invert the jar, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. The appropriate amount of
each tank-mix partner for this test is as follows:
Dry formulations: Add the tank-mix ingredients in their relative proportions, e.g.,
for each pound to be applied per acre, add 3/4 level tsp to each jar.
Liquid formulations: Add the tank-mix ingredients in their relative proportions,
e.g., for each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 tsp or 2.5 mL to each jar.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, then invert each jar 10 times to
fully mix. Let the mixtures stand for 15-30 minutes and then assess by looking for
separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs
of incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture
by comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily,
the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are
incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (A) slurry dry
formulations in water before addition, or (B) add the compatibility agent directly into
Endeavor
11
liquid formulations, before addition to the tank-mixture. If these procedures are
followed but incompatibility is still observed, do not use the tank-mixture.
4.4.4 Endeavor in Tank Mixtures
1. If mixture is physically compatible, add ½ of the required amount of water to the mix
tank.
2. Start the agitator before adding any tank mix partners.
3. Add products in this order:
a. products packaged in water-soluble packaging
b. wettable powders
c. wettable granules (dry flowables) such as Endeavor
d. liquid flowables
e. liquids
f. emulsifiable concentrates
4. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed before adding the next
product.
5. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
6. Maintain agitation until all the mixture has been applied.
4.4.5 Spray Additives
x When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets
the standards of the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology
(CPDA) adjuvant certification is recommended.
x On hard-to-wet plants, add a nonionic or organosilicone-based surfactant to improve
coverage. Follow products use directions and rate recommendations.
4.5 Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation)
4.5.1 CHEMIGATION
Endeavor may be applied by injection into an irrigation system, either alone or in
combination with other pesticides or chemicals that are registered for application
through irrigation systems. Dilution ratios for Endeavor are normally 1:100 to 1:200
depending on the system.
Apply Endeavor to listed plants through micro-irrigation (individual spaghetti tube), drip
irrigation, overhead irrigation, or motorized irrigation equipment. Apply Endeavor
according to use directions and not according to the irrigation schedule unless the
events coincide. In general, set the equipment to apply the minimum amount of water
per acre.
x Apply with center pivot or continuous-move equipment at a volume of ½ acre-inch
or less during treatment. In general, use the least amount of water required for
proper distribution and coverage.
x If stationary systems are used, such as so lid set, hand lines or wheel lines other
than continuous-move, this product should be injected into no more than the last
20-30 minutes of the set.
Endeavor
12
Specific Use Restrictions and Precautions for Chemigation (see also Section 5.0)
x Do not apply through any type of irrigation system not listed on this label.
x Do not make foliar applications when winds are greater than 10-15 mph to avoid
drift or wind skips.
x Do not connect an irrigation system, including greenhouse systems, used for
pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide label-prescribed
safety devices for public water systems are in place (see Section 4.5.3 below).
x Agitation must be maintained during the entire application period to ensure uniform
chemigation.
x For foliar applications, thorough coverage of foliage is required for best control.
Crop injury or reduced effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution.
Excessive water may also reduce effectiveness.
x Check with State and local regulatory agencies for potential use restrictions before
applying any agricultural chemical through sprinkler irrigation equipment.
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
adjustments when necessary. If you have questions about calibration, contact State
Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
4.5.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION EQUIPMENT
1. 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.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing
check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
3. 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.
4. The system must contain functional interlo cking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
5. The irrigation line or water pump must in clude 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.
6. 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.
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended.
Endeavor

4.5.3 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
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.
1. 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 the top or overflow rim of
the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing
check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
3. 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.
4. The system must contain functional interlo cking 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.
5. 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.
6. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

5.2 Spray Drift Management for Outdoor Applications
Spray Drift Advisories
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE DRIFT. BE AWARE
OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Importance of Droplet Size
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets
that will provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift,
the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under
unfavorable environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will
reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a
greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce
the target spray volume and droplet size.
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application.
Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
Boom Height Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the turf and have minimal
bounce.
Shielded Sprayers
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded
sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the
spray on the target area.
Temperature and Humidity
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce
effects of evaporation.
Temperature Inversions
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with
limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated
by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke
generator. 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 air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature
inversions.
Wind
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING
GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
