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. Do
apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidaj
areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff from treated areas maycic
be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate l
water when cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment wash watejt,, L"<.- ic i
This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooi riing
crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or
weeds while bees are foraging in/or adjacent to the treatment area. J«>-'
<- L < <_ i.
• Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of
C
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/productsAA/2Q/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.
Physical or Chemical Hazards
Do not use, pour, spill, or store near heat or open flame.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL
MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR INSECT CONTROL, AND/OR
ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
USE INFORMATION
Platinum controls many sucking and chewing insects through ingestion when
applied to the crops listed on this label.
• Apply Platinum in a manner which allows the insecticide to be absorbed by
plant roots. This may be accomplished with a variety of application methods,
as indicated in this label. Although Platinum is rapidly taken up by plant roots
and rapidly moves throughout the plant, the use of sufficient water volume will
ensure that the chemical contacts the roots, resulting in optimal uptake and
performance.
• Platinum is a selective insecticide, and its use is compatible with integrated
pest management programs.
• Platinum 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.
Platinum 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 Platinum or other Group 4A insecticides. cc l"- c
«. 111
If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other produjct&
with a similar mode of action, may not provide adequate control. If peer;
performance cannot be attributed to improper application or extreme^ we&ther^i t \
conditions, a resistant strain of insect may be present. If you experience | l'
difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately consult<<'
your local company representative or agricultural advisor for the beyi^lvernative <.
method of control for your area. [,.,,;«
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.
-8- f 11
• For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, apply
Platinum 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 Platinum 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 Platinum 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 ~
Soil Application
Select spray nozzles or metering orifices which will provide accurate and uniform
spray deposition. Platinum may be applied in-furrow at-planting, as a lay-by
shanked application, or as a banded preemergence or postemergence
application. When making postemergence applications, direct the application at
the base of the plant for optimum root uptake. To help insure accuracy, calibrate
sprayer before each use. Applications using sufficient water volume to provide
thorough and uniform coverage generally provide the most effective pest control.
For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer
manufacturers and/or State Extension Service specialists.
Do not apply Platinum with aerial equipment.
Dry Bulk Granular Fertilizer - Potatoes only: Many dry bulk fertilizers may be
impregnated or coated with Platinum and used to control insects in potatoes.
-9-
When applying Platinum with dry bulk granular fertilizer, follow all directions for
use and precautions on the Platinum label contained in the potato direction for
use section regarding rates per acre, pests controlled, and rotational crop
restrictions.
"AIMndividual-state regulations relating-to-dry bulk granular fertilizer blending,
registration, labeling, and application, are the responsibility of the individual
and/or company selling the insecticide/fertilizer mixture.
Prepare the insecticide/fertilizer mixture by using any closed drum, belt, ribbon,
or other commonly used dry bulk fertilizer blender. Nozzles used to spray
Platinum onto the fertilizer must be placed to provide uniform spray coverage.
Care should be taken to aim the spray onto the fertilizer only, avoiding the walls
of the blender. Do not pour or dribble Platinum directly from the product
container onto the fertilizer.
Blender Mixing Directions
Fill the blender with the required amount of dry bulk granular fertilizer to be used.
Start the blender. Spray the Platinum directly onto the moving fertilizer. Allow
the mixture to blend for at least 5 minutes or until uniform. Spread the
insecticide/fertilizer mixture as soon as possible.
Calculate the amount of Platinum by the following formula:
oz./acre Platinum X 2,000 Ib./ton = oz./ton Platinum
Ib./acre Fertilizer
Important: When more than 1,000 Ib./A of dry bulk granular fertilizer is to be
applied, mix Platinum with water to improve coverage on the dry fertilizer. Mix
one part Platinum with up to 2 parts water [1:2] in a mix tank before application
to fertilizer. Use a maximum of 2 qt. liquid per ton of fertilizer.
Precautions: Do not impregnate Platinum on straight unadulterated agricultural
limestone, since adsorption will not be achieved. Limestone prills, which contain
a binding agent and fertilizer blends containing limestone can be impregnated.
Application: For best results, apply the mixture uniformly to the soil with
properly calibrated equipment immediately after blending. Non-uniform
application of the insecticide/fertilizer mixture may result in unsatisfactory insect
control.
r -10-
Chemigation
Applications of Platinum alone or in combination with other pesticides registered
for application through irrigation systems may be applied in irrigation water at
"rates~specified on this label. Apply this product only through low-pressure~micro-
sprinkler, drip type irrigation systems or through sprinkler irrigation equipment
(center pivot, solid set, hand move or moving wheel irrigation systems - potatoes
only).
Directions for All Specified Types of Irrigation Systems
Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration
The irrigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop
injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result
from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The system must be calibrated to
uniformly apply the rates specified. If you have questions about calibration,
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.
Dilute Platinum in the solution tank at a ratio of at least 5 parts of water to one
part of Platinum. Injecting a larger volume of a more dilute solution will usually
allow a more accurate calibration of the metering equipment. Meter the
insecticide into the irrigation water during the irrigation cycle.
Using Water from Public Water Systems: DO NOT APPLY PLATINUM
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. Platinum 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 specified Types of Irrigation Systems
1. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified. If you
have questions about calibration, 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.
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

Application Instructions - Low Pressure Micro-Sprinkler or Drip Type
Irrigation Equipment
Platinum must be applied on the schedule specified in the Crop Use Directions,
not according to the irrigation schedule. The following calibration and application
techniques are provided for user reference, but do not constitute a warranty of
fitness for application through low-pressure micro-sprinkler or drip type irrigation
equipment. Check with state and local regulatory agencies for potential use
restrictions before applying any agricultural chemicals through irrigation
equipment.
c -12- r 1 4
n1 . Each run of the irrigation system must be calibrated separately to determine
the time it takes water to move through the system and to make sure all
emitters in the system are putting out the same amount of water.
2. Use only pressure injection or venturi equipment.
3. Determine the area to be treated in each irrigation run.
4. Measure the output of each of the emitters or drip tubes closest to and
farthest from the injection point.
5. For calibration, substitute a concentrated detergent (such as Wisk) for the
Platinum mixture in the injector (solution) tank. It is important to use the
same volume of soap solution as the planned volume of Platinum solution
when calibrating the system. The detergent will bubble as it leaves the
emitters. Check the time period over which the bubbles occur for both the
closest and farthest emitters. If these times are not within 2 minutes of each
other, adjust the dilution ratio and/or the injection rate.
Step-by-Step Calibration and Application Instructions
1. Before starting to calibrate, operate the system until all of the emitters are
putting out at equal flow rates or until the system is operating at full pressure.
2. Make up an indicator solution of detergent or fertilizer, using the same rate of
indicator as the planned volume of Platinum to be used in the mix.
3. Set the injector to apply the indicator solution at the injection rate to be used
in the actual Platinum application.
4. Attach a 12-inch length of flexible tubing over the emitter closest to the
injection point, another 12-inch length over the emitter farthest away. Both
emitters should be monitored to determine the time intervals that the indicator
solutions are observed.
5. Begin injecting the indicator solution. Direct the flow from the flexible tubes
into a small container. Begin timing when the indicator solution is first
detected. Stop timing when the indicator solutions are no longer detected in
the container.
6. If the period of detection of the indicator solution between the near and far
emitter is within 2 minutes, comparable coverage will be obtained. If they are
not, make adjustments by increasing the dilution ratio, using more water per
part of Platinum, or adjust the injector to a slower flow rate.
7. Once the system is calibrated, dilute the needed amount of Platinum with
water and any other tank mix partners in the injection tank at a minimum
dilution of 15 parts water to 1 part Platinum. Follow the directions for mixing
r -13- r
and equipment set up in the Mixing Procedures section of this label for
complete details.
8. Do not begin to inject Platinum into the system until all emitters are producing
equal flow rates, or until the system is at full pressure.
9. Inject the Platinum solution into the system at the beginning of the irrigation
set in 1/2 -1 inch of irrigation water.
Application Instructions - Sprinkler irrigation equipment (center pivot,
solid set, hand move or moving wheel irrigation systems - Potatoes only)
Platinum alone or in combination with other products which are registered for
application through sprinkler irrigation may be applied through irrigation systems.
Apply this product through center pivot, solid set, hand move, or moving wheel
irrigation systems. Lack of effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues can result
from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about
calibration, 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.
Calibration and Application Instructions
Platinum 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 Platinum 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
b
n
-14-
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 Platinum, and any tank mix partners, required to
treat the area covered by the irrigation system.
5. Add the required amount of Platinum, 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 Platinum 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 Platinum 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 Platinum 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 Platinum required to treat the area covered by the
irrigation system.
4. Add the required amount of Platinum, 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 Platinum 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 Platinum 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.
Platinum Alone: Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With
the agitator running, add the Platinum to the tank. Continue agitation while
adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after the
Platinum has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all
of the mixture has been applied.
Platinum + Tank Mixtures: 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 flowables), liquid flowables such as
Platinum, liquids and emulsifiable concentrates. Make sure each tank mix
partner becomes 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 Platinum in tank mixtures, add all products in water-soluble
packaging to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including Platinum.
Make sure the water-soluble packaging is completely dissolved and the
product(s) are completely dispersed before adding any other tank mix partner to
the tank.
If using Platinum in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use
rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations that 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 that 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.
r -is- c 2?
Compatibility: Platinum is compatible with most commonly used pesticides and
nutritional sprays. However, since it is not possible to test all possible mixtures,
pre-test to insure the physical compatibility and lack of phytotoxic effect of any
proposed mixtures with Platinum. To determine the physical compatibility of
Platinum 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.

• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): 0 days
• Pollinator Precautions: Platinum is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct
treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply during pre-bloom or during
bloom when bees are actively foraging. Do not apply Platinum or allow it to drift to
blooming crops 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. After a
Platinum 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.
