PROTECTION OF POLLINATORS
APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS EXIST FOR THIS PRODUCT
BECAUSE OF RISK TO BEES AND OTHER INSECT POLLINATORS. FOLLOW APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS
FOUND IN THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE TO PROTECT POLLINATORS.
Look for the bee hazard icon NX in the Directions for Use for each application site for specific use restrictions and
instructions to protect bees and other insect pollinators.
This product can kill bees and other insect pollinators.
Bees and other insect pollinators will forage on plants when they flower, shed pollen, or produce nectar.
Bees and other insect pollinators can be exposed to this pesticide from:
o Direct contact during foliar applications, or contact with residues on plant surfaces after foliar applications
o Ingestion of residues in nectar and pollen when the pesticide is applied as a seed treatment, soil, tree injection, as
well as foliar applications.
When Using This Product Take Steps To:
o Minimize exposure of this product to bees and other insect pollinators when they are foraging on pollinator
attractive plants around the application site.
o Minimize drift of this product on to beehives or to off-site pollinator attractive habitat. Drift of this product onto
beehives or off-site to pollinator attractive habitat can result in bee kills.
Information on protecting bees and other insect pollinators may be found at the Pesticide Environmental Stewardship
website at: http://pesticidestewardship.org/PollinatorProtection/Pages/default.aspx.
Pesticide incidents (for example, bee kills) should immediately be reported to the state/tribal lead agency. For contact
information for your state, go to: www.aapco.org/officials.html. Pesticide incidents should also be reported to the National
Pesticide Information Center at: www.npic.orst.edu or directly to EPA at: beekill(5)epa.aov
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN MIXING AND APPLYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS
LAKES; RESERVOIRS; RIVERS; PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS; ESTUARIES AND COMMERCIAL
FISH FARM PONDS.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for
considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
Mixing and Loading Requirements
To avoid potential contamination of groundwater, the use of a properly designed and maintained containment pad for mixing and
loading of any pesticide into application equipment is recommended. If containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of
25 feet between mixing and loading areas and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads,
sinkholes or field drains.
For Aerial Applications
The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom
length should be used, and must not exceed 75% of the wing span or rotor diameter.
Importance of Droplet Size
An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small droplets (<150 - 200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large droplets.
Within typical equipment specifications, applications should be made to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient
control and coverage. Formation of very small droplets may 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.
Spray should be released at the lowest possible height'consistent with good pest control and flight safety. Applications more than 10
feet above the crop canopy should be avoided.
Wind Speed Restrictions
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors,
including droplet size, canopy and equipment specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Do not apply when winds
are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by
avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
Restrictions During Temperature Inversions
Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature inversions.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move
laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on
nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their
presence can be indicated by ground fog; however if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke
from a ground source. 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 mixing.
Airblast (Air Assist) Specific Directions for Tree Crops and Vineyards
Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air stream. The following specific drift
management practices should be followed:
•Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy;
•Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy;
•Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage;
•Do not allow the spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area (i.e., turn off sprayer when turning at end rows);
•Only spray inward, toward the orchard or vineyard, for applications to the outside rows.
No-Spray Zone Requirements for Foliar Applications
Do not apply by ground within 25 feet, or by air within 150 feet of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or natural
ponds; estuaries and commercial fish farm ponds.
Runoff Management
Do not cultivate within 10 feet of the aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. When used on erodible soils, Best
Management Practices for minimizing runoff should be employed. Consult your local Natural Resources Conservation Service for
recommendations in your use area.
Endangered Species Notice
Under the Endangered Species Act, it is a Federal Offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of a member of an
endangered species. Consult your local county bulletin, County Extension Agent, or Pesticide State Lead Agency for information
concerning endangered species in your area.
Resistance Management
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product
should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area.
Provado® 1.6 Flowable Insecticide contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent tolerance to Group 4A
products may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A products are used repeatedly as the predominant method of
control for targeted species. This may eventually result in partial or total loss of control of those species by PROVADO® 1.6
FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE and to other Group 4A products.
The active ingredient in PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE is a member of neonicotinoid chemical class. Avoid using a block
of more than three consecutive applications of PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE and/or other Group 4A products having the
same or similar mode of action. Following a neonicotinoid block of treatments, Bayer CropScience strongly encourages the rotation to
a block of applications with effective products of a different mode before using additional applications of neonicotinoid products. Using
a block rotation or windowed approach, along with other IPM practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or
delaying an insect's pest's ability to develop resistance to this class of chemistry.
Foliar applications of PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE or other Group 4A products from the neonicotinoid chemical class
should not be used on crops previously treated with a long-residual, soil-applied product from the neonicotinoid chemical class.
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product manufacturer for additional insect resistance management
recommendations. Also, for more information on Insect Resistance Management (IRM), visit the Insecticide Resistance Action
Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://irac-online.org/.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the spray tank and with agitation add PROVADO®
1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE. Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing
and application. PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE may also be used with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions. Please
see Compatibility Section below. When tank mixtures of PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE and other pesticides are
involved, prepare the tank mixture as specified above and follow suggested Mixing Order below.
Mixing Order
When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders or wettable granules first, PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE, or
other flowables second, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Ensure good agitation as each component is added. Do not add an
additional component until the previous is thoroughly mixed. If a fertilizer solution is added, a fertilizer pesticide compatibility agent may
be needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture.
Compatibility Section
Test compatibility of the intended tank mixture before adding PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE to the spray or mix tank.
Add proportionate amounts of each ingredient in the appropriate order, to a pint or quart jar, cap, shake for 5 minutes, and let set for 5
minutes. Poor mixing or formation of precipitates that do not readily re-disperse indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be
used. For further information, contact your local Bayer CropScience representative.
CHEMIGATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Refer to DIRECTIONS FOR USE section before proceeding with chemigation application.
Types of Irrigation Systems
Chemigation applications of PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE may be made to crops through overhead sprinkler
chemigation systems if specified in crop-specific sections. Do not apply PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE through any
other type of irrigation system.
Water Volume
Make PROVADO® 1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE chemigation applications as concentrated as possible. Retention of PROVADO®
1.6 FLOWABLE INSECTICIDE on target site of insect infestation is necessary for optimum activity.
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.
Chemigation Monitoring
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.
Drift
Do not apply when the wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Required System Safety Devices
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. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic,
quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 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. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water
pump motor stops. 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. 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.
Using Water from 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. 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 to top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter
of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid
back toward the injection. 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. The system must contain functional interlocking 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. 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.
ROTATIONAL CROPS*
Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on an imidacloprid label, or any crop for which a tolerance exists for the active
ingredient, as soon as practical following the last application. For crops not listed on an imidacloprid label, or for crops for which no
tolerances for the active ingredient have been established, a 12-month plant-back interval must be observed.
