PROTECTION OF POLLINATORS
S 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 ^/ 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@.epa.gov
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.
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 specification, make applications to
deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient control and coverage. Formation of
very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection.
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, crop 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 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.
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 a containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of 25 feet
between mixing and loading area and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field
sumps, uncased well heads, sinkholes, or field drains.
No-Spray Zone Requirements for Soil Applications
Do not apply within 25 feet, of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes, or natural
ponds; or 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 using Couraze 2F on erodible soils, employ the best management practices for
minimizing runoff. 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.
5
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.
Couraze 2F contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent
resistance to Group 4A may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides
are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted species.
The active ingredient in Couraze 2F belongs to the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests
resistant to other chemical classes have not shown cross-resistance to Couraze 2F. In order to
maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry in insect species with high resistance
development potential, it is recommended that for each crop season: 1) only a single, soil
application of Couraze 2F be made; 2) foliar applications of products from this same class
should not be made following a long-residual, soil application of Couraze 2F, or other
neonicotinoid products.
Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: Actara, Assail,
Calypso, Centric, Intruder, Leverage, Provado, and Trimax.
Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as soil treatments include: Platinum.
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://www.irac-online.org/.

Application Instructions
Foliar applications - apply as directed or broadcast foliar spray. Thorough coverage of foliage,
without runoff, is necessary for optimum insecticidal efficacy. Use adequate spray volumes,
properly calibrated application equipment, and a spray adjuvant if necessary to obtain thorough
coverage. Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of Couraze 2F may result in loss
of insect control or delay in onset of activity. Couraze 2F may be applied with properly calibrated
ground or aerial application equipment. Minimum recommended spray volumes, unless
otherwise specified on crop-specific recommended application sections, are 10 gallons/acre by
ground application and five gallons/acre through aerial equipment. Couraze 2F may also be
applied by overhead chemigation (see "Chemigation Directions For Use" section below).
Soil applications - direct Couraze 2F into the seed or root-zone of crop. Failure to place
Couraze 2F into root-zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. Couraze 2F
may be applied with ground or chemigation application (see "Chemigation Directions For Use"
section below). Do not apply with aerial application equipment. Couraze 2F intended for soil
activity may be applied to foliage if product is washed from the foliage to the soil prior to drying
on foliage. Optimum activity of soil applied Couraze 2F results from applications to the root-zone
of plants to be protected. The earlier Couraze 2F is available to a developing plant, the earlier
the protection begins. Couraze 2F is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time
and the systemic nature of Couraze 2F allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to
8
all vegetative parts of the plant. This results in extended residual activity of Couraze 2F, the
control of insects and the prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or symptom
expression, and plant health benefits. The rate of Couraze 2F applied affects the length of the
plant protection period. Higher specified rates are recommended when infestations occur later in
crop development, or where pest pressure is continuous. Couraze 2F as a soil-applied treatment
will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms, or fruit. Additional crop protection may
be required for insects feeding in or on these plant parts and for insects not listed in the sections
"crop-specific pests controlled" of this label. Additional, specific Couraze 2F application
recommendations are also provided in the crop-specific sections of this label.
Additional, specific instructions for Couraze 2F application are also provided in the crop-specific
sections of this label. Suppression, or less than complete control of certain diseases and insect
pests, including reduced feeding, may also result from Couraze 2F applications. Complete
control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures.
Couraze 2F use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial
planting is generally not recommended but may be allowed under State specific, 24(c) labeling.
Additional information on Couraze 2F uses for these crops and other questions may be obtained
from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants, or local Cheminova
representatives.
Premix Couraze 2F with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Keep Couraze 2F
and water suspension agitated to avoid settling.
Do not apply more than 0.50 Ib. active ingredient per acre, per crop year, regardless of
formulation or method of application, unless specified within a crop-specific, Application Rates
section for a given crop.
Additional Product Use information may be obtained by calling 1-800-548-6113 or visiting our
website at www.cheminova.us.com.
Mixing Instructions
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the tank
and, with agitation, add Couraze 2F. Finish filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain
sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. Couraze 2F may also be used with other
pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions. Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank
mixtures of Couraze 2F and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as
recommended above and follow suggested Mixing Order below.
Mixing Order
When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders first, Couraze 2F and other flowable
(suspension concentrate) products 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. When tank mixtures of Couraze 2F maintain constant agitation during both mixing and
application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture as specified above and follow the mixing order
below.
Compatibility Note
Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding Couraze 2F 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 stand for 5 minutes. Poor mixing or formation of precipitates that do
9
11
not readily redisperse indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be used. For further
information, contact your local Cheminova representative.
CHEMIGATION - DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Types of Irrigation Systems
Chemigation applications of Couraze 2F may only be made to crops through chemigation
systems as specified in crop-specific Application sections and only through low-pressure
systems unless specifically stated for a given crop. Do not apply Couraze 2F through any other
type of irrigation system.
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 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 that 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 (RPZ) back-flow
preventer 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 the 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
10
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 that 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 a crop specified on an imidacloprid label or with 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 is required.

Important Note
Increases in Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSVW) incidence have been observed with applications
of ADMIRE on multiple varieties of peanut. This may also be the case with other tospoviruses,
or other viruses transmitted by various thrips species or perhaps, other pests. Prior to applying
COURAZE 2F to peanuts, Cheminova recommends consultation with the State, Cooperative
Extension Service, or Cheminova representative, for recommendations. Growers are advised to
weigh insect control benefits against potential increase in viral disease levels. In areas where
TSWV or other tospovirus are endemic, growers are encouraged to use virus resistant varieties
and consult the University of Georgia, Tomato spotted wilt virus index, before applying
COURAZE 2F. !

Important Note: Proper tray drench applications of Couraze 2F have been shown to be the
most efficacious method of application. However, the specified rate of Couraze 2F may be
applied as a combination of the tray drench in the planthouse and/or transplant-water drench in
field. Adverse growing conditions may cause a delay in uptake of Couraze 2F into the plant and
a delay in control.

1. Uniform, broadcast high-volume foliar spray, followed immediately by sufficient overhead
irrigation to wash Couraze 2F from foliage into potting media without loss of gravitational
liquid from the bottom of the tray. Failure to wash Couraze 2F from foliage may result in
reduced pest control;
2. Injection into overhead irrigation system, using adequate volume to thoroughly saturate soil
media without loss of gravitational solution from the bottom of the tray. The application made
in the planthouse will provide only short-term protection and is not intended as a substitution
for a field application. An additional field application must be made within 2 weeks following
transplanting to provide continuous protection. Applications of higher rates or increased

Applications: Apply specified dosage in one of the following methods:
• Chemigation into root zone through low pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler, or equivalent
equipment. For optimum results, apply to newly planted trees or those previously trained to
drip, trickle or micro-sprinkler irrigation. Soil should be lightly pre-wetted to break soil surface
tension prior to applications of Couraze 4 Insecticide. Chemigation application can be made
separate to normal irrigation but followed by 10 to 20 minutes of additional watering to move
Couraze 4 Insecticide into root zone. Allow 24 hours before initiating subsequent irrigations.
• Soil surface band spray on both sides of the tree. Bands should overlap at the tree base to
create a continuous band within the drip-line area of the tree, to be followed immediately with
light sprinkler irrigation sufficient to move the product into the upper portion of the root zone.
This method is suitable for very coarse soils with 0.75% organic matter or less.
• Drench to base of tree not exceeding one quart total solution per tree immediately around
trunk of tree and extending outward covering the entire fibrous root system of the tree. Only for
trees up to 8 feet tall.
• For control of existing termite infestations, apply specified dosage in 1 to 4 quarts of total
solution volume, depending on size of tree, as a drench application to the basal portion of the
tree trunk and surrounding soil in the immediate vicinity of the tree trunk.
For suppression of citrus nematode, apply specified dosage through low pressure Chemigation

Applications
Apply specified dosage of Couraze 2F in one of the following methods:
1. Chemigation into root-zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or equivalent
equipment;
2. Subsurface side-dress shanked into the root-zone on both sides of the plants followed by
irrigation;
3. Hill drench in sufficient water to insure incorporation into the root-zone followed by irrigation.
4. For suppression of nematodes, apply 14 fluid ounces in a single application or two 7 fluid
ounce applications on a 30 to 45 day interval. Treatment(s) should be applied only by 1)
chemigation into root-zone through above ground low-pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or
equivalent equipment; or 2) French plow technique, followed immediately by sufficient
irrigation to move the product into the entire root-zone of the plant. Repeated and regular use
of Couraze 2F over several consecutive growing seasons provides the greatest degree of
nematode suppression and yields the greatest plant response.
For optimum results, make application(s) between bud-break and the pea-berry stage. A total of
14 fluid ounces/Acre is recommended under any of the following conditions:
1. Where vigorous vine growth is expected;
2. IN warmer growing areas;
3. Where mealybug and European fruit lecanium populations are expected to be heavy;
4. Where vine populations exceed 600 per acre, or;
5. For suppression of nematodes.
* Repeated and regular use of Couraze 2F over several, consecutive growing seasons controls
existing Phylloxera infestations overtime or prevents Phylloxera from becoming established.

Applications
Apply specified dosage prior to or at onset of pest infestation in one of the following methods:
1. Chemigation into root-zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or equivalent
equipment, pre-wet soil prior to applications of Couraze 2F and allow soil to dry following
application and prior to subsequent irrigation.
2. Emitter or spot irrigation in a minimum of 4 fluid ounces of mixture per emitter site;
3. Shank or subsurface side-dress, injected to a side depth just above or just within the root
zone and between the trunk and drip line of the tree canopy. Product should be applied in a
minimum of 10 gallons per acre using multiple shanks on both sides of trees. Ensure product
placement is below sod or orchard floor debris. Irrigation covering entire treated area should
follow within 48 hours to promote uptake by root system.
4. For control of termites, apply specified dosage to slightly moist soil as a high volume drench
to the basal portion of the tree trunk and surrounding soil in the immediate vicinity of the tree
trunk. Utilize sufficient carrier volume to penetrate the soil to a depth of 18 - 24 inches to
obtain optimum control. Allow soil to dry following treatment and prior to applying any
irrigation.
Remarks
Use the higher specified rates when applied by shank or subsurface sidedress, used on target
trees, soils with high clay content, for high plant populations, and/or where extended control is
desired. Under some conditions, control may not occur for 14 or more days or until two (2)
irrigations have been made. Applications made later in the season may result in reduced
efficacy.

Maximum Couraze 2F allowed at-plant per year: 32.0 fluid ounces/Acre (0.50 Ib. AI/Acre)
Applications
Moisture content of cuttings/whips prior to application, the solution concentration and the length
of soaking interval interact to affect the amount of product absorbed into plant material. For a
constant soaking interval of 24 hours, drier cuttings/whips absorb a higher quantity of solution
and require a lower concentration. Conversely, more hydrated cuttings/whips absorb less
solution and require a higher concentration. Soaking of cuttings/ whips should occur in a
covered container in absence of UV light. Not all Populus sp. clones/varieties/hybrids have
been tested for crop safety. Without specific knowledge about a particular Populus sp.
clone/variety/hybrid, Cheminova recommends that small numbers of cuttings/whips of each be
treated and evaluated prior to commecial use.
Apply Couraze 2F in one of the following cuttings/whips soaking methods:
For freshly cut (unhydrated) cuttings/whips, soak plant material in specified solution
concentration for 24 hours prior to cold storage. After removal from cold storage, plant as
needed.
For previously hydrated cuttings/whips removed from cold stroage, allow plant material to reach
room termpature and soak in specifided solution concentration for 24 hours prior to planting.
Take proper care in disposal of any residual soaking solution. Solution may be applied to
existing trees or other registerd crops as long as all product label precautions and restrictions
are observed.
