NUMBER: In case of medical emergency call toll free 1-877-424-7452. NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: This product contains an 
organophosphate. Pirimiphos-methyl is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Treat symptomatically. If exposed, plasma and red blood cell 
cholinesterase tests may indicate significance of exposure (baseline data are useful). Give 2 mg. of atropine intramuscularly or 
subcutaneously and repeat if symptoms of poisoning reappear. Pralidoxime (2 PAM) may be therapeutic if used early; however, use only 
in conjunction with atropine. In case of severe poisoning, use antidote immediately after establishing an open airway and respiration. 
Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Actellic 5E Insecticide contains petroleum distillate. Vomiting 
may cause aspiration pneumonia.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS 
For resistance management, Actellic 5E Insecticide contains a Group 1 insecticide/acaricides. Any insect population 
may contain individuals naturally resistant to Actellic 5E Insecticide and other Group 1 insecticides. The resistant 
individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides/acaricides are used repeatedly in the 
same fields and sites. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. 
 
To delay insecticide/acaricide resistance take the following steps: 
• Rotate the use of Actellic 5E Insecticide or other Group 1 insecticides/acaricides within a growing season, or 
among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. 
• Use tank mixtures with insecticides/acaricides 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.

4 
In addition, consider the following 
• 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 the target species. 
• Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for 
insect resistance management. 
• When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the 
targeted pest(s). 
• Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they 
may still provide pest management benefits. 
• 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. 
• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides use that includes scouting, uses 
historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, 
biological and other chemical control practices. 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 extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-
management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area. 
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact your Winfield Solutions, LLC 
representative. 
 
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 
Do not make more than one application per crop. Only treat corn or grain sorghum which has not previously been 
treated with any pirimiphos-methyl containing product. Treatment of seed is only allowed off-farm (for example, in 
a facility where seed is bagged). 
 
The best practice to protect stored corn (field and pop) and grain sorghum from insect infestation is to use an 
admixture treatment of Actellic 5E Insecticide. 
 
Actellic 5E Insecticide is only to be used as an admixture treatment, as grain or seed enters storage or export 
containers. It is not for use as a top-dressing treatment nor to treat empty storage bins or export containers. 
 
 
ADMIXTURE TREATMENT 
Apply spray solution uniformly with suitable application equipment as grain enters storage or export containers. 
Select nozzle size and operating pressure to adjust the application rate with flow of grain. Prepare desired dilution of 
Actellic 5E Insecticide in spray tank and mix well. Make sure spray solution stays mixed, especially in large holding 
tanks. Apply the spray solution as a coarse, uniform low pressure spray in order to minimize drift. Shield nozzle if 
necessary. Apply the specified amount of Actellic 5E Insecticide in 5 gallons of water or 3-5 gallons of at least twice 
refined soybean oil to each 30 tons (60,000 pounds) of grain according to the following rates.
