TAKE 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.
For Aerial Applications
For aerial applications, mount the spray boom on the aircraft so to minimize drift caused by wing tip
vortices. Use the minimum practical boom length. Do not exceed 75% of the wing span or rotor
diameter. Release the spray at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight
safety. Do not use applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy.
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 airstream
as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure.
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.
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 area
and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads, sinkholes, or
field drains.
Airblast (Air Assist) Specific Recommendations for Tree Crops and Vineyards
Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air
stream. Follow specific drift management practices:
Page 4 of36
• 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 application to the outside rows.
No-Spray Zone Requirements for Soil and 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 using
Couraze 4F on erodible soils, employ the best management practice 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.
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 4F contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent tolerance 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 eventually result in partial
or total loss of control of those species by Couraze 4F and to other Group 4A insecticides.
The active ingredient in Couraze 4F is a member of the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests
resistant to other chemical classes have not shown cross-resistance to Couraze 4F. 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 4F be made; 2)
foliar applications of products from the same class not be made following a long residual, soil application
of Couraze 4F, or other neonicotinoid products.
If a soil application of Couraze 4F has not been made during a crop season and foliar applications are to
be made, avoid using a block of more than three consecutive applications of Couraze 4F and/or other
Group 4A products having the same or similar mode of action. Following a neonicotinoid block of
treatments, Cheminova strongly encourages the rotation to a block of applications with effective products
with a different mode of action 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 ability to develop resistance to this class of chemistry.
Do not use foliar applications of Couraze 4F or other Group 4A products from neonicotinoid chemical
class to be used on crops previously treated with a long-residual, soil-applied products from the
neonicotinoid chemical class.
Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: Actara, Assail, Calypso,
Centric, Clutch, Couraze, Galiant, Impulse, Intruder, Leverage, Nuprid; Pasada, Provado, Trimax Pro, and
Venom.
Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as soil/seed treatments include: Admire Pro, Advise, Alias,
Belay, Couraze, Cruiser, Gaucho, Macho, Macho Max, Nuprid, Platinum, Venom, and Widow.

Shoes plus socks
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
For soil applications of Couraze 4F, direct product into the seed or root zone of crop. Failure to place
Couraze 4F into root zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. Couraze 4F may be
applied with ground or chemigation application equipment.
Do not apply Couraze 4F in enclosed structures such as planthouses or greenhouses except as specified
in the TOBACCO, CUCURBIT VEGETABLES, FRUITING VEGETABLES and GREENHOUSE
VEGETABLES, (Mature plants in production greenhouses): Cucumber, Tomato only sections of this label.
Apply foliar applications of Couraze 4F as a directed or broadcast foliar spray. Thorough coverage of
foliage is necessary without runoff for optimum insecticidal efficacy. Use adequate spray volumes,
property calibrated application equipment, and spray adjuvant if necessary to obtain thorough coverage.
Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of Couraze 4F on leaves and fruit may result in loss
of insect control or delay in onset of activity. Couraze 4F may be applied with properly calibrated ground
or aerial application equipment. Minimum spray volumes unless otherwise specified on crop specific
application sections are 10 gallons per acre' by ground and 5 gallons per acre by air. Couraze 4F may
also be applied by overhead chemigation (see additional information in "Chemigation" section of this label
below) if allowed in crop specific application section.
When applied as a soil application, optimum activity of Couraze 4F results from applications to the root-
zone of plants to be protected. The earlier Couraze 4F is available to a developing plant, the earlier the
protection begins. Couraze 4F is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time and the
systemic nature of Couraze 4F allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative
parts of the plant. This results in extended residual activity of Couraze 4F, the control of insects, and the
prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The
Page 7 of36
rate of Couraze 4F applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Higher rates within the
specified rate range can be used when infestations occur later in crop development or where pest
pressure is continuous. Couraze 4F 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 crop-specific, pests-controlled sections of this label. Additionally, specific application
information for Couraze 4F 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 application of Couraze 4F. Complete control of these pests/diseases may require
supplemental control measures.
Use of Couraze 4F on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting
is not permitted unless allowed under state specific, supplemental labeling. Additional information on uses
of Couraze 4F for these crops and other questions may be obtained from the Cooperative Extension
Service, PCAs, consultants, or local Cheminova, Inc. representatives.
Application should be made only to plants grown in field-type soils, potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do
not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool, or other soil-less
media, or plants growing hydroponically. Couraze 4F should be pre-mixed with water or other appropriate
diluents prior to application. Keep Couraze 4F and water suspension agitated to avoid settling.
Do not apply more than 0.5 Ib. active ingredient per acre per crop season regardless of formulation or
method of application, unless specified within a crop specific, application section for a given crop.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the spray tank and
with agitation, add Couraze 4F. Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient
agitation during both mixing and application. Couraze 4F may also be used with other pesticides and/or
fertilizer solutions. Please see "Compatibility" section of this label. When tank mixtures of Couraze 4F 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 or wettable granules first; Couraze 4F and
other suspension concentrate (flowable) 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.
Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture.
Compatibility
Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding Couraze 4F 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 redisperse
indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be used.
CHEMIGATION
Types of Irrigation Systems: Foliar chemigation applications of Couraze 4F may be made to crops
through overhead sprinkler systems if specified in crop specific recommended application sections. Soil
chemigation applications of Couraze 4F may only be made to crops through chemigation as specified in
crop specific application sections and only through low pressure systems specifically recommended for a
given crop. Do not apply Couraze 4F through any other type of irrigation system.
Foliar chemigation applications of Couraze 4F should be made as concentrated as possible. Retention of
Couraze 4F on target site of insect infestation is necessary for optimum activity. Chemigation of Couraze
Page 8 of36
4F in water volumes exceeding .10 inches per acre are not recommended. See crop specific
recommended application sections of the label for more information.
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 Cooperative 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 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 systems 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

to plants grown in field-type soils, potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as
perlite, vermiculite, rock wool or other soil-less media, or plants growing hydroponically. Do not apply to immature plants since
phytotoxicity may occur. Make applications when infestation pressure surpasses threshold and beneficials are not able to maintain
pest populations below damage thresholds. Repellency of bumble bee pollinators and negative effects on some beneficials (Onus
spp.) can occur when Couraze 4F is applied.
Many varieties of vegetables have been tested for tolerance to Couraze 4F and show good safety. However, certain varieties may
show more sensitivity to Couraze 4F. Therefore, treatment of a few plants is recommended before treating the whole greenhouse.

For commercial nursery production in standard 'citra pot' of 0.1 ft3 volume
Apply specified dosage in one of the following methods:
1. Chemigation into root-zone through low pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or equivalent equipment;
2. Basal, soil drench in a minimum of 30 milliliters (ml) total solution per 'citra pot'.
Use sufficient carrier volume to ensure thorough uniform distribution throughout the media without loss of gravitational water from
the container. For optimal results, treatment should be made at planting/transplanting prior to insect infestation. Retreat if
necessary but do not apply more than 3.42 ml per plant per season. For control of larvae of the citrus root weevil complex, apply
prior to neonate larvae entering potting media.

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 4F. Chemigation application can be made separate to normal im'gation
but followed by 10 to 20 minutes of additional watering to move Couraze 4F 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 recommended 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.

inches/Acre is recommended).
For Cottonwood leaf beetle, protection against damage will occur when application is made early season, when the beetles first
begin feeding. Larger trees may require earlier treatment as a result of slower uptake.
For Phylloxerina, apply early in the year from break of dormancy through May.

Cutting/Whip Soaking Solution fluid ounces Couraze 4F
Needed per 100 gallons
6.6 - 13.3 (unhydrated cuttings/whips)
13.3 - 20.0 (partially hydrated cuttings/whips)
Pest Suppressed
Aphids, Phylloxerina popularia 6.6 - 13.3 (unhydrated cuttings/whips)
13.3 - 20.0 (partially hydrated cuttings/whips)
Restrictions:
• Maximum Couraze 4F allowed at-plant per crop season: 16.0 fluid ounces/Acre (0.5 Ib AI/A).
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
Page 33 of 36
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 spp. clones/varieties/hybrids have been tested for crop safety. Without specific knowledge about a particular
Populus spp. clone/variety/hybrid, Cheminova, Inc. recommends that small numbers of cuttings/whips of each be treated and
evaluated prior to commercial use.
Apply Couraze 4F 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 storage, allow plant material to reach room temperature and soak in
specified solution concentration for 24 hours prior to planting.
Proper care should be taken in disposal of any residual soaking solution. Solution may be applied to existing trees or other
registered crops as long as all product label precautions and restrictions are observed.
Use not permitted in California unless otherwise directed by state-specific 24(c) labeling.
Foliar Application
Pests Controlled
Aphids, Leaf beetles
Rate: Fluid ounces per acre
1.6-3.2
Restrictions:
• Minimum interval between applications: 10 days
• Maximum Couraze 4F allowed per year when making foliar applications: 16 fluid ounces per acre (0.51b Al per acre)
• Do not apply pre-bloom or during bloom or when bees are foraging. .
Apply specified rate per acre as a broadcast or directed foliar spray to infested area as pest populations begin to build. Thorough
uniform coverage is necessary to achieve optimum control. A spray adjuvant may be used to improve coverage. Couraze 4F may
not knockdown established and heavy insect populations. Two applications may be required to achieve control. Scout fields and
retreat if needed. Couraze 4F may be tank mixed with other insecticides as recommended for knockdown of pests or for improved
control of other pests.
Use not permitted in California unless otherwise directed by state-specific 24(c) labeling.
