USE INFORMATION
ENGULFTM provides both knockdown action as well as extended residual con trol of the following mites
when applied directly to foliage as directed by this label:
Avocado red spider Clover Pecan leaf scorch Spruce spider mite
Banks grass European red* Persea Strawberry spider
Brown almond McDaniel Sixspotted Two-spotted spider
Citrus red Pacific spider Southern red mite Willamette
* using maximum rate specified for the crop or crop group.
ENGULF is appropriate for use in IPM and resistance management p rograms. Because ENGULF is not
systemic, effective control requires complete coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
ENGULF is a flowable suspension concentrate, users must be sure to stir or shake this product well
prior to use.
1) Fill spray tank with 1/2 the specified amount of water.
2) Begin agitation and add the required amount of ENGULF.
3) Fill the tank with the remaining amount of required water and continue agitation until the product is
fully dispersed.
NOTE: The stability of ENGULF can be affected by high pH and hi gh temperature. Keep spray mixtures
containing ENGULF within pH 5.5 - 6.5.
Tank Mixes: To increase the number of insect and/or mite species controlled , ENGULF may be tank-mixed
with other insecticides. It is required that compatibility with other tank-mix partners be confirmed prior to
broad-scale applications. Tank mixtures are only permitted in States where all of the pes ticide products
used as tank-mix partners are registered. It is the pesticide u sers responsibility to ensure that all products
are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applic able restrictions and limitations and directions
for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users mus t follow the most restrictive directions for use
and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS),
40 CFR Part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection ofa g r i c u l t u r a lw o r k e r so n
farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains
requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains
specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal
protective equipment (PPE), notification to workers, and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in
this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12
hours. Exceptions are listed under the USE INSTRUCTIONS for each crop.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard
and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
x coveralls
x shoes plus socks
x chemical-resistant gloves made of: barrier laminate, polyethylene, butyl rubber (•14 mils),
nitrile rubber (•14 mils), neoprene rubber (•14 mils), natural rubber (•14 mils), polyvinyl
chloride (•14 mils), or Viton (•14 mils).
4
Use Restrictions
x Do NOT plant another crop within 30 days after last application o f ENG ULFTM. Planting within
30 days of last application increases the likelihood of bifenaza te residues appearing in rotational
crops.
x Do NOT exceed the maximum amount of bifenazate allowed per crop per calendar year.
This applies to all product(s) containing bifenazate that are applied to the crop in a calendar year.
x When applying to Golden Delicious apples, do NOT tank-mix oil with ENGULF.
x Do NOT use adjuvants in tank mixtures that will be applied to greenhouse tomatoes.
x Do NOT apply to greenhouse tomatoes within 3 days of harvest (3-day PHI).
x Human flagging is prohibited. Flagging to support aerial appli cation is limited to use of the Global
Positioning System (GPS) or mechanical flaggers.
USE RATES AND DIRECTIONS
ENGULF controls the mite species listed above and is effective a gainst grass, red and spider mites,
primarily in the motile stage of development but does provide o vicidal control of spider mites ( Tetranychus
spp.) as well. Note that ENGULF does NOT control broad, flat or rust mites. If mite pressure is not heavy,
use the lowest specified rates listed. If mite pressure is sig nificant or to provide extended residual control,
use the highest specified rates listed. In order to maximize r esidual control, apply the product as soon as
mites are detected. For specific application rates, application nu m b e r s , a n d P r e - H a r v e s t I n t e r v a l s ( P H I ) ,
refer to the appropriate USE INSTRUCTIONS tables below.
For ground applications apply ENGULF using the following types of equipment: air-blast sprayers,
compressed air, or hydraulic ground booms. The USE INSTRUCTIONS tables below indicate the minimum
numbers of gallons of spray solution to apply per acre for ground applications.
For aerial applications apply ENGULF on certain crops using either a fixed-wing aircraft or a helicopter. A
minimum spray volume that ensures complete canopy coverage must be used. Refer to the USE
INSTRUCTIONS tables for the minimum numbers of gallons of spray solution to apply per acre (or apply the
minimum gallons/acre allowed by your State, which may not be less than the minimum gallons/acre shown
on this label).
For Chemigation Applications (Cranberry, Mint, Potato, and Timothy, only): Only one chemigation
application may be made per calendar year, and the system must be operated at 80% to 100% during the
application to apply the minimum amount of water possible. Refer to the USE INSTRUCTIONS - BEARING
CROPS tables for the ranges in application rates permitted and to the CHEMIGATION USE
PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR CRANBERRY, MINT, POTATO, AND T IMOTHY.
SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications:
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a greater
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
x Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
diameter for helicopters.
x Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
x Nozzles must be oriented to the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the
ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators are required to use fine or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
5
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT .
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION S.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that 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.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
x Adjust Nozzles Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally,
to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage.
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop canopy, unless a greater application
height is necessary for pilot safety.
RELEASE HEIGHT Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release
spray at a height greater than 10 ft. above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary
for pilot safety.
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. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray
drift.

USE INSTRUCTIONS ORNAMENTALS GROWN IN GREENHOUSES AND
SHADEHOUSES
ENGULF may be applied to ornamental foliage for knockdown and residual control of mites on ornamental
plants (including ornamental bulb crops, bedding plants, ornamental foliage and flowering plants, perennials,
shrubs and trees). The plants may be grown in the ground or in pots.
ENGULF works most effectively on mites that are motile, but also has ovicidal activity against the
Tetranychus spp. mites (i.e., Spider Mites) and is especially effective aga i n st gra ss mi t e s, re d mi t e s a n d
spider mites. Common mite species controlled by ENGULF include:
Bamboo Spider Mite Schizotetranychus celarius (Banks) Pacific Mite Tetranychus pacificus (McGregor)
Citrus Red Mite Panonychus citri (McGregor) Southern Red Mite Oligonychus ilcis (McGregor)
Clover Mite Bryobia praetiosa (Koch) Spruce Spider Mite Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi)
European Red Mite Panonychus ulmi (Koch) Strawberry Mite Tetranychus turkestani
Lewis Mite Eotetranychus lewisi Two-Spotted Spider Mite Tetranychus urticae (Koch)
NOTE: ENGULF is not effective in controlling rust mites, broad mites and flat mites.
Because ENGULF is not a systemic insecticide, thorough coverage of both the upper and lower surfaces of
the leaves, as well as any fruit present, is required. When us ed as directed, ENGULF is useful in resistance
management and IPM programs due to its selective nature that minimizes impacts to beneficial insects.
Use Rates and Application Information
Apply as soon as mites appear. ENGULF provides residual control for up to 28 days. Within the range of
rates specified in the next paragraph, use the lower listed rat es when mite pressure is low or for
preventative applications; and use the higher rates when mite pressure is severe or for residual control.
11
Mix 2-4 fluid ounces of ENGULF TM per 100 gallons of water (1/8 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water ). Apply
1-4 quarts of the mixture per 100 square feet (100-400 gallons per acre) to the foliage using ground spray
equipment (including air blast, compressed air, ground boom, ho se-end and hydraulic sprayers). The spray
volume used is dependent on the size of the plants being treate d, with larger plants requiring greater spray
volumes.
Coverage of ornamentals with hard-to-wet foliage may be improve d by using an adjuvant to the spray
mixture. Silwet 77 ® or Sylgard 309 ® at a rate of 4 ounces per 100 gallons of water has been found to be
effective. As with any tank mixture, test the compatibility and safety of any adjuvants in a small-scale trial
prior to widespread use.
USE RESTRICTIONS:
x Do NOT apply ENGULF more than two times per calendar year.
x Do NOT apply more than 16 fluid ounces of ENGULF per acre per calendar year.
x Do NOT apply ENGULF by aerial application.
CHEMIGATION USE PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS
x Apply ENGULF only through sprinkler systems, including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side
(wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems. Do not apply ENGULF
through any other type of irrigation system.
x Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform
distribution of treated water.
x If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts.
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.
x 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 the necessary
adjustments should the need arise.
x 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.
x The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
x 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.
x The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
x 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.
x 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.
x Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
x Maintain constant agitation in the supply tank for the duration of the application.
x To insure complete mixing of the spray solution, use a positive displacement pump to inject the
solution before a right angle turn in the main line.
x Applying more than the specified amount of irrigation water per acre may result in decreased
performance due to the chemical being flushed from leaf surfaces.
12
x Do NOT apply ENGULFTM if there are leaks in any of the fittings or connections, if nozzles do not
provide uniform distribution, or if lines containing ENGULF will be drained and dismantled.
x Apply ENGULF for the entire duration of the irrigation process. Calibration accuracy and product
distribution will be improved if a larger volume of a more dilute mixture is injected per hour.
x Poor control of mites may result if sprinkler application patterns do not sufficiently overlap. Excessive
overlap may result in crop injury.
x Only one chemigation application may be made per calendar year, and the system must be operated
at 80% to 100% during the application to apply the minimum amount of water possible.
x Contact State lead agencies for pesticide regulation for State-specific requirements pertaining to
chemigation.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, ENGULF contains a Group 20D acaricide. Any insect/mite population may
contain individuals naturally resistant to ENGULF or other Group 20D acaracides. The resistant individuals
may dominate the insect/mite population if this group of acaracides are used repeatedly in the same fields.
Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.To delay acaricide resistance, take the
following steps:
x Rotate the use of ENGULF or other Group 20D acaracides within a growing season, or among
growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. Avoid application of more than
24 fl. oz./A and consecutive sprays of ENGULF or other insecticides in the same group in a season.
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides/acaracides 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 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 insecticide 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 Because of its selectivity, ENGULF can be used in conjunction with most biological control
organisms available for mite control. ENGULF, when used as directed, does not adversely affect
populations of beneficial/predaceous mites and insects including:
Common lacewing (Chrysopa carnea) Seven-spotted lady beetle (Coccinella septempunctata)
Insidious flower bug (Orius insidiosus) Six-spotted thrips (Scolothrips sexmaculatus)
Predatory mite (Amblyseius fallacis) Spider mite destroyer (Stethorus punctum)
Predatory mite (Typhlodromus pyri) Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)
Predatory mite (Zetzellia mali) Western predatory mite (Typhlodromus occidentalis)
Predatory mite (Phytoseiulus persimilis)
13
The use of these organisms in conjunction with ENGULFTM is encouraged as a means of reducing the
number of chemical applications.
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaracides use that includes
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and
which contains 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.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pest
resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in
your area.

USE INFORMATION
ENGULFTM may be applied to ornamental foliage for knockdown and residual control of mites on
ornamental plants (including annuals, bulbs, ornamental bedding plants, foliage and flowering plants,
trees, perennials, [deciduous and evergreen trees] and shrubs), indicated backyard fruit and nut trees that
will not bear fruit for at least 12 months. The plants may be grown in the ground or in pots.
ENGULF may only be applied to the above listed plants around residences, public, commercial and
industrial areas; interior and exterior landscaping; recreational sites including golf courses, parks, athletic
fields, and campgrounds; and rights-of- way and other easement uses.
ENGULF works most effectively on mites that are motile, but also has ovicidal activity against the
Tetranychus spp. mites (i.e., Spider Mites) and is especially effective against grass mites, red mites and
spider mites. Common mite species controlled by ENGULF include:
Bamboo Spider Mite Schizotetranychus celarius (Banks) Pacific Mite Tetranychus pacificus (McGregor)
Citrus Red Mite Panonychus citri (McGregor) Southern Red Mite Oligonychus ilcis (McGregor)
Clover Mite Bryobia praetiosa (Koch) Spruce Spider Mite Oligonychus ununguis (Jacobi)
European Red Mite Panonychus ulmi (Koch) Strawberry Mite Tetranychus turkestani
Lewis Mite Eotetranychus lewisi
Banks grass Oligonychus pratensis
Brown almond Bryobia rubrioculus
Six spotted Eotetranychus sexmaculatus
Two-Spotted Spider Mit e Tetranychus urticae
(Koch)
McDaniel Tetranychus mcdanieli (McGregor)
Pecan leaf scorch Eotetranychus hicoriae
Willamette Eotetranychus willamettei
NOTE: ENGULF is not effective in controlling rust mites, broad, Cyclamen or flat mites.
Because ENGULF is not a systemic insecticide, thorough coverage of both the upper and lower surfaces
of the leaves, as well as any fruit present, is required. When used as directed, ENGULF is useful in
resistance management and IPM programs due to its selective nature that minimizes impacts to beneficial
insects.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare ENGULF for application:
1) Fill the tank with 1/2 the required amount of water;
2) Add the specified amount of ENGULF;
3) Begin agitation to completely disperse the product; and,
4) Add the remaining water required for the tank mix and, if pos sible, maintain agitation while
applying.
Because the stability of ENGULF can be negatively impacted in a high-temperature / high-pH situation,
maintain the spray mixture between pH 5.5 6.5.
Tank-Mixtures with ENGULF
ENGULF may be tank-mixed with other insecticides if broad-spectr um control is necessary. When tank-
mixing with other products, conduct a limited trial to determin e the compatibility of the tank-mix partners
prior to extensive use. Tank mixtures are only permitted in Stat es where all of the pesticide products
used as tank-mix partners are registered. It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all
products are registered for the intended use.
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker
Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product
is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries and greenhouses.
Keep unprotected persons out of treated areas until sprays have dried.
8
Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels
involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary
statements of each product in the tank mixture.
USE RATES AND APPLICATION INFORMATION
Apply as soon as mites appear. ENGULF TM provides residual control for up to 28 days. Within the range
of rates specified in the next paragraph, use the lower rates w hen mite pressure is low or for preventative
applications; and use the higher rates when mite pressure is severe or for extended residual control.
Mix 2-4 fluid ounces of ENGULF per 100 gallons of water (1/8 1/ 4 teaspoon per gallon of water). Apply
1-4 quarts of the mixture per 100 square feet (100-400 gallons per acre) to the foliage using ground spray
equipment (including air blast, compressed air, ground boom, ho se-end and hydraulic sprayers). The
spray volume used is dependent on the size of the plants being treated, with larger plants requiring
greater spray volumes.
Coverage of ornamentals with hard-to-wet foliage may be improve d by using a wetting or spreading
adjuvant to the spray mixture [such as Silwet 77 ® or Sylgard 309®]. Follow individual product instructions
for adjuvant use. As with any tank mixture, the compatibility a nd safety of any adjuvants should be tested
in a small-scale trial prior to widespread use.
USE RESTRICTIONS:
x Do NOT apply ENGULF more than two times per calendar year.
x Do NOT apply more than 16 fluid ounces of ENGULF per acre per calendar year.
x Do NOT apply ENGULF by aerial application.
SPRAY DRIFT
Ground Boom Applications:
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above
the ground or crop canopy.
x Applicators are required to use fine or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT .
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION S.
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that 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.
8
BOOM HEIGHT Ground Boom
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage.
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop canopy 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. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray
drift.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, ENGULFTM contains a Group 20D acaricide. Any insect/mite population
may contain individuals naturally resistant to ENGULF or other Group 20D acaracides. The resistant
individuals may dominate the insect/mite population if this group of acaracides are used repeatedly in the
same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay acaricide
resistance, take the following steps:
x Rotate the use of ENGULF or other Group 20D acaracides within a growing season, or among
growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. Avoid application of more
than 24 fl. oz./A and consecutive sprays of ENGULF or other insecticides in the same group in a
season.
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides/acaracides 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 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 insecticide 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 Because of its selectivity, ENGULFTM can be used in conjunction with most biological control
organisms available for mite control. ENGULF, when used as directed, does not adversely affect
populations of beneficial/predaceous mites and insects including:
Common lacewing (Chrysopa carnea) Seven-spotted lady beetle (Coccinella septempunctata)
Insidious flower bug (Orius insidiosus) Six-spotted thrips (Scolothrips sexmaculatus)
Predatory mite (Amblyseius fallacis) Spider mite destroyer (Stethorus punctum)
Predatory mite (Typhlodromus pyri) Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)
Predatory mite (Zetzellia mali) Western predatory mite (Typhlodromus occidentalis)
Predatory mite (Phytoseiulus persimilis)
The use of these organisms in conjunction with ENGULF is encouraged as a means of reducing the
number of chemical applications.
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaracides use that includes
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping,
and which contains 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.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pest
resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems
in your area.

PLANT TOLERANCE
It is not possible for the manufacturer or seller to determine safety for all varieties of ornamental plants,
tank-mix combinations and/or sequential pesticide treatments. It is required that the applicator determine
safe use by testing the exact tank mix desired on the ornamental varieties present by conducting a small-
scale test prior to widespread use. The end user assumes responsibility for any and all risks or damage
caused by application of ENGULF
TM in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Backyard Fruit and Nut Trees
ENGULF may be used on listed fruit and nut trees found in residential [home /backyard] sites. Not for
agricultural production.
x For bearing fruit and nut trees, use the following application rates. (For a list of insects controlled
see the table in the Ornamental section).
