Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material - Category A (e.g., natural
rubber > 14 mils)
• Shoes plus socks
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions exist
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/PPE 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 impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rain
water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching
surface water via runoff for several months after application. 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 loading of thiamethoxam water from runoff water and sediment. Runoff
of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to

occur within 48 hours. (See manual at the following Internet address:
http://www.wsi.nrcs.usda.gov/productsA/V2Q/pest/core4.html).
Ground Water Advisory
Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals
detected in ground water. This chemical may leach into the ground water if used
in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Spray Drift Advisory
Do not allow this product to drift.

USE INFORMATION
Actara controls many sucking and chewing insects through contact and ingestion on the crops
listed on this label.
• Apply Actara 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 is a selective insecticide, and its use is compatible with integrated pest management
programs. However, Actara is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming
crops or weeds.
• Actara is rapidly taken up into foliage after application. However, thorough spray coverage
is essential for optimal performance. Apply Actara 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 is rainfast once the spray solution has dried on treated plants.
• Actara 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 has a wide margin of plant safety when used in accordance with this label.
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 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 or other Group 4A insecticides.
If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other products with a similar
mode of action, may not provide adequate control. If poor performance cannot be attributed to
improper application or extreme weather conditions, a resistant strain of insect may be present.
If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately
consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for the best alternative method
of control for your area.

-12-
• In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry:
• Avoid using Group 4A insecticide exclusively for season long control of insect species with
more than one generation per crop season.
• For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, apply Actara or other Group
4A insecticides using a "treatment window" approach. A treatment window is a period of
time as defined by the stage of crop development and/or the biology of the pests of concern.
Within the treatment window, depending on the length of residual activity, there may .either
be single or consecutive applications (seed treatment, soil, foliar, unless otherwise stated) of
the Group 4A insecticides. Do not exceed the maximum Actara allowed per growing
season.
• Following a treatment window of Group 4A insecticides, rotate to a treatment window of
effective products with a different mode of action before making additional applications of
Group 4A insecticide.
• A treatment window rotation, along with other IPM practices for the crop and use area, is
considered an effective strategy for preventing or delaying a pest's ability to develop
resistance to these classes of chemistry.
• If resistance is suspected, do not reapply Actara or other 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
Select spray nozzles which will provide accurate and uniform spray deposition. Use spray
nozzles which provide medium-sized droplets and reduce drift. To help insure accuracy,
calibrate sprayer before each use. For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult
nozzle manufacturers and/or State Extension Service specialists.
Apply Actara 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. Do not
make applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where
excessive spray drift may occur.
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

I 1H
-13-
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 in water, using the minimum spray volume indicated in the 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.
Spray Drift Precautions
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. Do not make applications
when wind gusts approach 10 mph.
• To reduce the risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas, do not make applications when
wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
• Do not cultivate or plant crops within 25 ft. of the aquatic area 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. Do not make applications more than 10 ft. above the crop canopy.
• For aerial applications, mount the spray boom on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused
by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length must 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 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
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 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 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 rirn 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 Specified 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.
is,
Hf

-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 must be applied under the schedule specified in the specific Crop Use Directions, not
according to the irrigation schedule unless the events coincide.
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. 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 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, and any tank mix partners, required to treat the area
covered by the irrigation system.
5. Add the required amount of Actara, 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
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.

8. Inject the specified amount of Actara 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 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. ft
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 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system.
4. Add the required amount of Actara, 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 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 of the insecticide by the foliage.
7. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until
the Actara 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 Alone
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the
desired amount of Actara to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the
water. Begin application of the solution after Actara has completely dispersed into the mix
water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Actara + Tank Mixtures

7i-17- '
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before
adding any tank mix partners. Add tank mix partners in this order: products packaged in water-
soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flbwables) such as Actara, 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 in tank mixtures, add all products in water-soluble packaging to the
tank before any other tank mix partner, including Actara. 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 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. Do not exceed
any label dosage rate, and follow the most restrictive label precautions and limitations. Do not
mix this product 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 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. To determine the physical compatibility of Actara 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
been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops has not been tested. Confirm the safety
to the target crop before applying any tank mixture not specified on this label.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS
Pollinator Precautions
• Actara is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops/plants or
weeds.
o For apples, do not apply Actara after pre-bloom (early pink growth stage) or
before post bloom (petal fall growth stage).
o For citrus, do not apply during pre-bloom or during bloom when bees are
actively foraging,
o For pears, do not apply Actara. after pre-bloom (green cluster stage) or
before post bloom (petal fall growth stage).
o For stone fruit, do not apply Actara between the pre-bloom (swollen bud)
and post bloom (petal fall) growth stages.
• Do not apply Actara 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 Spray Drift Precautions for additional
information).
• After an Actara 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.
