Application Date: June 15, 2023
|
||
Decision Numbers : 593329, 593330 and 593331
|
||
|
||
Dear Mr. Vukich:
|
||
|
||
The amended labels referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal
|
||
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, are acceptable. Accordingly,
|
||
EPA has approved the requested registration amendments, provided FMC Corporation (“FMC”)
|
||
complies with all terms and conditions listed below.
|
||
|
||
Terms and Conditions
|
||
|
||
FMC must comply with all the following terms and conditions. Release for shipment of these
|
||
products constitutes acceptance of the below conditions. If these conditions are not complied with,
|
||
the registrations will be subject to cancellation in accordance with FIFRA section 6.
|
||
|
||
Endangered Species Protection and Formal Consultation
|
||
|
||
1. For this action, EPA conducted effects determinations under the Endangered Species Act
|
||
(ESA). In its final effects determinations (included in a biological evaluation), EPA made
|
||
may affect, likely to adversely affect (LAA), determinations for certain listed species and
|
||
designated critical habitats for products containing cyantraniliprole (including this product).
|
||
For these LAA determinations, EPA also assessed the potential likelihood of jeopardy or
|
||
adverse modification in its effects determination, consistent with 50 C.F.R. § 402.40(b)(1).
|
||
EPA predicted no potential likelihood of jeopardy for listed species or adverse modification
|
||
for designated critical habitat. On September 25, 2023, EPA initiated formal consultation
|
||
with the Services. The Services will make the final determination as to the potential for
|
||
|
||

|
||
EPA Reg. Nos.
|
||
Decision Nos. 593329, 593330 and 593331
|
||
|
||
jeopardy for listed species or adverse modification for designated critical habitat in any final
|
||
biological opinions issued at the completion of consultation.
|
||
|
||
If, following formal consultation with Service(s), additional modifications are identified in
|
||
any applicable Biological Opinion, EPA will notify FMC in writing within 45 calendar days
|
||
of the issuance of the Biological Opinion of any necessary changes. Within 30 calendar days
|
||
of receiving EPA’s notice, FMC must submit an amendment application incorporating the
|
||
necessary changes, including amended labels. Alternatively, FMC may respond by
|
||
submitting a request for voluntary cancellation of this product. If FMC fails to comply with
|
||
this term, FMC has agreed in prior written acceptance of these terms that EPA may cancel
|
||
the registration under an expedited process under FIFRA 6(e).
|
||
|
||
Implementation of Revised Labeling
|
||
|
||
2. To ensure the prompt adoption of the mitigations in this registration amendment in newly
|
||
produced product and previously produced product that is still under FMC’s control, FMC
|
||
must submit state registrations for approval, in all states where products are currently
|
||
registered, for the products with the labeling associated with this approval letter no later than
|
||
November 30, 2023.
|
||
|
||
3. In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), product may be distributed or sold by FMC
|
||
under the previously approved labeling for no longer than 12 months from the date of this
|
||
letter or 75 days after the final state approval from those submitted under Term #2,
|
||
whichever is earlier.
|
||
|
||
4. Nothing in Terms #2-3 should be read to obligate FMC to provide additional labeling for
|
||
product that bears the previously approved label but is not under FMC’s control as of the
|
||
date of this letter. However, FMC should conduct outreach for users of this product to
|
||
update them on the forthcoming changes to the label and their importance in mitigating
|
||
potential effects to listed species and avoiding violations of the Endangered Species Act.
|
||
|
||
EPA’s Rationale for Approving This Registration Amendment
|
||
|
||
FIFRA section 3(c)(5) requires EPA to unconditionally approve a registration amendment if:
|
||
“its composition is such as to warrant the proposed claims for it”;
|
||
1
|
||
“its labeling and other material required to be submitted comply with the requirements of
|
||
[FIFRA]”;
|
||
2
|
||
|
||
1 FIFRA § 3(c)(5)(A), 7 U.S.C. § 136a(c)(5)(A). Here, EPA reviewed the proposed labeling and determined that the
|
||
claims made for the product were consistent with composition of the product based on the data submitted.
|
||
2 FIFRA § 3(c)(5)(B), 7 U.S.C. § 136a(c)(5)(B). Here, EPA reviewed the submitted labeling and other materials
|
||
submitted and found them to be compliant with the requirements of FIFRA. Additionally, there are no data gaps.

|
||
|
||
“it will perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on the
|
||
environment”;
|
||
3 and
|
||
“when used in accordance with widespread and commonly recognized practice it will not
|
||
generally cause unreasonable adverse effects on the environment.”
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
Prior to approving the previous registrations and registration amendments for this product and
|
||
others containing cyantraniliprole, EPA considered risks and benefits of approving the registrations
|
||
and registration amendments. To determine the risks and benefits, the Agency reviews a large body
|
||
of information to determine the effects of using these products. In assessing the risks from use of
|
||
products containing cyantraniliprole, EPA has conducted both human health risk assessments
|
||
5 and
|
||
ecological and environment fate risk assessments.6 EPA also updated its ecological and
|
||
environmental fate risk assessments in support of the 2023 draft biological evaluation (BE).7 EPA
|
||
believes that that these risk assessments (and the benefits discussed below) are also applicable to the
|
||
action to approve this amended registration.
|
||
|
||
In the human health risk assessments, EPA did not select an acute dietary toxicity endpoint because
|
||
the Agency did not identify any effect attributed to a single dose (i.e., CTP is not expected to pose

an acute risk to humans). In general, CTP produces both adverse and adaptive changes in the liver,
|
||
thyroid gland, and adrenal cortex. With repeat dosing, consistent findings of mild to moderate
|
||
increases in liver weights are observed across multiple species (rats, mice, dogs). CTP was
|
||
classified as “not likely to be carcinogenic to humans” based upon data demonstrating lack of
|
||
treatment-related increase in tumor incidence in rats and mice. No cumulative effects were
|
||
identified. CTP presents no mutagenicity, neurotoxicity, immunotoxicity, developmental
|
||
reproductive toxicity.
|
||
|
||
In the environmental risk assessments, EPA identified risks of concern for both aquatic and
|
||
terrestrial invertebrates. Overall, however, the major risks of concerns are for direct effects to
|
||
freshwater, estuarine/marine, and benthic invertebrates. EPA did not identify direct risks of
|
||
concerns for birds, reptiles, amphibians, freshwater fish, terrestrial plants, or aquatic plants.
|
||
|
||
EPA also considered the benefits of products containing cyantraniliprole, including CTP’s activity
|
||
on a wide variety of target insects on a variety of crops. CTP is effective for controlling aphids,
|
||
weevils and thrips—all major agricultural pests. CTP is not expected to pose any acute risk to
|
||
humans and was registered in 2013 as a reduced risk pesticide due to it posing lower relative risk to
|
||
alternative chemicals available at that time. CTP also poses lower risk to non-target organisms
|
||
relative to alternatives and is compatible with IPM practices.
|
||
|
||
This amended registration includes additional mitigation measures to address effects to listed
|
||
species, including the following:
|
||
|
||
• Requirement that applicators use coarse/coarser droplets for ground and aerial applications
|
||
to reduce spray drift
|
||
• Requirement that aerial applications abide by wind-directional buffers, as identified in
|
||
Bulletins Live Two (BLT), also to reduce spray drift
|
||
• Increase in distance of vegetative filter strips from 25 to 30 feet to mitigate the potential for
|
||
runoff to aquatic habitats
|
||
• Use of a 25’ buffer for airblast applications to dormant, non-bearing and/or vegetation that is
|
||
not yet fully leafed out
|
||
• Requirement that treated seeds be immediately covered or collected if spilled during loading
|
||
|
||
After consideration, EPA has determined that approving this amended registration will not cause
|
||
unreasonable adverse effects because the amended registrations are not expected to result in
|
||
increased exposures
|
||
8 and because EPA continues to believe that—consistent with the 2014
|
||
registration decision9 and other previous registration decision for products contain
|
||
cyantraniliprole—the benefits of the se registrations outweigh any remaining risks of concern from
|
||
|
||
8 While the mitigations in the amended registrations are intended to reduce exposures to listed species, EPA expects that
|
||
the mitigations will (1) not increase exposures to other non-listed non-target organisms, and (2) will generally reduce
|
||
exposures to all non-target organisms (both listed and non-listed).
|
||

|
||
2014) (EPA-HQ-OPP-2011-0668-0057).

its use and there are no human dietary risks from uses of cyantraniliprole that are inconsistent with

the FFDCA safety standard.
|

10 Accordingly, EPA is approving these registration amendments
|
||
because the FIFRA registration standard is met.

Conclusion
|
||
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all
|
||
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you
|
||
release the product for shipment with the new labeling. Consistent with Terms 2-5 above, and not
|
||
withstanding 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may only distribute or sell
|
||
11 this product under either the
|
||
final stamped label associated with this approval letter or with accompanying labeling that
|
||
incorporates the mitigations in this registration amendment.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be
|
||
aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the Agency. If the
|
||
website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute
|
||
under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 C.F.R. § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may
|
||
consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on your
|
||
product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those claims approved
|
||
through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our
|
||
attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or claims substantially differing
|
||
from the EPA-approved registration, the product will be referred to EPA’s Office of Enforcement
|
||
and Compliance.

PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS
|
||
Do not place product near or allow product to come into contact with strong oxidizing substances (such as potassium permanganate) since a
|
||
hazardous chemical reaction may occur.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and oysters. Do not apply directly to water. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic
|
||
organisms in water adjacent to use sites. This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Do
|
||
not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are foraging the treatment area.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory-
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with
|
||
shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several weeks after
|
||
application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such
|
||
as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of cyantraniliprole from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will
|
||
be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory-
|
||
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. This chemical may leach into ground
|
||
water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
USERS SHOULD: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Remove clothing immediately

RESTRICTIONS
|
||
- Do not make ground applications within 25 or aerial applications within 50 of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes,
|
||
reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, wetlands or natural ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish farm ponds). Do not cultivate within
|
||
30 of these aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.
|
||
- For foliar uses, do not apply during rain.
|
||
- When making air blast applications to orchard crops with sparse canopies a 25 foot buffer is required between the
|
||
application site and all adjacent areas except for roads (and other paved or gravel surfaces), agricultural areas (fields that
|
||
have been planted into or prepared for planting), and structural areas (buildings or other man-made structures with walls
|
||
and/or a roof). A sparse canopy occurs during the period of dormancy starting from first leaf drop at the end of the season
|
||
until vegetation is fully leafed out in the spring, and on young orchard crops that are not yet bearing.
|
||
- Do not treat plants grown for transplanting. Not for use in nurseries, plant propagation houses, or greenhouses by
|
||
commercial transplant producers on plants being grown for transplanting.
|
||
- Do not apply BENEVIA® to the soil or through drip irrigation systems. May be used on crops on this label grown for seed
|
||
production.
|
||
- Do not use in residential areas.
|
||
- Do not apply BENEVIA® insect control through any irrigation system unless specified in the crop section of this label.
|
||
- Unless otherwise stated for a specific crop, do not apply a total of more than 0.4 lb ai/A of CYAZYPYR® or cyantraniliprole
|
||
containing products per calendar year. This is the total from all application methods (eg. seed, soil, foliar).
|
||
|
||
|
||
1. FOR CROPS UNDER CONTRACTED POLLINATION SERVICES
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
BENEVIA® must be used in accordance with the directions for use on this label, or as otherwise permitted by FIFRA. Always read the entire
|
||
label, including the Limitation of Warranty and Liability.
|
||
BENEVIA® is an oil dispersion that can be applied as a foliar spray on labeled crops or by overhead chemigation in potatoes and bulb
|
||
vegetables to control listed insects. BENEVIA® is specially formulated for maximum performance by foliar applications in bulb, legume and
|
||
tuberous and corm vegetables; cotton; oil seed crops; peanuts; soybeans; tobacco and tree nuts. Do not apply directly to the soil or through
|
||
drip irrigation as doing so may damage the plant root system. BENEVIA® is mixed with water for application.
|
||
BENEVIA® is a member of the anthranilic diamide class of insecticides with a novel mode of action acting on insect ryanodine receptors.
|
||
Although BENEVIA® has contact activity, it is most effective through ingestion of treated plant material. After exposure to BENEVIA®, affected
|
||
insects will rapidly stop feeding, become paralyzed, and typically die within 1 - 3 days, reducing both direct damage and the transmission of
|
||
some insect transmitted diseases. Early season applications of BENEVIA® improve crop establishment and growth vigor by controlling a
|
||
range of pests that attack seedlings. Time applications to the most susceptible insect pest stage, typically at egg hatch and/or newly hatched
|
||
larvae or nymphs, before populations reach damaging levels. When pest populations are high, use the highest listed application rate for that
|
||
pest. For best results when targeting control of sucking pests, begin applications when insect populations first appear. BENEVIA® has
|
||
preventative activity, but low curative activity for sucking pests.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
FMC supports the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an IPM program,
|
||
which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices, aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM principles and practices include
|
||
field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, rotation of insecticides with different modes-
|
||
of-action, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds. For best results with sucking pests, apply at
|
||
specified rates when insects first appear. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified
|
||
authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site systems in your area.
|
||
SCOUTING
|
||
Monitor insect populations to determine whether or not there is a need for application of BENEVIA® based on locally determined pest
|
||
management guidelines. More than one treatment of BENEVIA® may be required to control a population of pests.
|
||
INSECT RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, BENEVIA® is a Group 28 Insecticide. Repeated and exclusive use of BENEVIA® (cyantraniliprole) or other
|
||
Group 28 insecticide belonging to the anthranilic diamide class of chemistry may lead to the buildup of resistant strains of insects in some
|
||
crops.
|
||
Some insects are known to develop resistance to products used repeatedly for control. Because the development of resistance cannot be
|
||
predicted, this product may be used as part of a resistance management strategy established for the use area. These strategies may include
|
||
incorporation of cultural and biological control practices, alternation of mode-of-action classes of insecticides on succeeding generations and
|
||
the most susceptible life stage. Consult your local or state agricultural authorities for details.
|
||
Unless directed otherwise in the specific crop/pest sections of this label, the best practices are to follow these instructions to delay the
|
||
development of insecticide resistance:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Avoid using the same mode of action (same IRAC group number) on consecutive generations of insect pests.
|
||
Make no more than 2 applications of BENEVIA® (cyantraniliprole) or other Group 28 products per generation to the same insect species on
|
||
a crop.
|
||
Application to the next generation of target pest(s) must be with an effective product with a different mode of action (non- Group 28
|
||
insecticide).
|
||
Make no more than 2 successive applications within a 30-day period to the same insect species on a crop. The following application to the
|
||
target pest(s) must be with an effective product with a different mode of action.
|
||
Avoid using less than the labeled rates of BENEVIA® when applied alone or in tank mixtures.
|
||
Target the most susceptible insect life stages, whenever possible.
|
||
Monitor insect populations for product effectiveness. If resistance to BENEVIA® develops in your area, BENEVIA® or other products with a
|
||
similar mode of action, may not provide adequate control.
|
||
If poor performance cannot be attributed to improper application or extreme weather conditions, a resistant strain of insect may be present.
|
||
If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately consult your local FMC company representative
|
||
or agricultural advisor for the best alternative method of control.
|
||

|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
BENEVIA® must be used only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This standard
|
||
contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on 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 the label about personal protective equipment, restricted-entry interval, and
|
||
notification to workers (as applicable).
|
||
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
|
||
For early entry into 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, wear:
|
||
Coveralls
|
||
Shoes plus socks
|
||
Chemical resistant gloves (made of any waterproof material)
|
||
|
||

|
||
APPLICATION
|
||
Apply at the specified rates when insect populations reach locally determined action thresholds. For best results with sucking pests, begin
|
||
applications when insects first appear. Consult the cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities for
|
||
local pest management guidelines in your area.
|
||
Apply follow-up treatments of BENEVIA®, as specified, to keep pest populations under threshold limits. Refer to the Resistance Management
|
||
section of this label for further guidance on follow-up treatments. See individual crop sections of this label for specific minimum spray intervals.
|
||
Use sufficient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage.
|
||
BENEVIA® may be applied by: foliar ground (including overhead chemigation in potatoes and bulb vegetables), or aerial application
|
||
equipment.
|
||
BENEVIA® may be applied via overhead sprinkler chemigation systems on potatoes and bulb vegetables. Use of the highest labeled rate for
|
||
the specified pest may be necessary when making overhead chemigation applications.
|
||
For aerial application use the following directions unless otherwise specified in specific crop/pest sections of this label or other supplemental
|
||
labeling: use a minimum of 5 gallons per acre (gpa) of water for bulb vegetables, cotton, oil seed crops and tuberous and corm vegetables and
|
||
use 10 gallons per acre (gpa) for tree nuts. Use of the highest labeled rate for a specified pest may be necessary when making aerial
|
||
applications.
|
||
For foliar ground applications use the following directions, unless otherwise specified in specific crop/pest sections of this label or other
|
||
supplemental labeling: use a minimum of 10 gal per acre (gpa) of water for bulb vegetables, cotton, oilseed crops and tuberous and corm
|
||
vegetables and use a minimum of 30 gallons per acre (gpa) for tree nuts.
|
||
Use of Adjuvants - In some situations where coverage is difficult to achieve such as closed canopy, dense foliage, plants with waxy leaf
|
||
surfaces, or less than optimum applications equipment, an adjuvant may improve performance. Use a proven and recommended adjuvant that
|
||
does not affect foliage and/or fruit finish. Tank mixes of BENEVIA® with spreading and penetrating adjuvants can result in adverse crop
|
||
response. See specific crop instructions in the following crop tables.
|
||
SPRAY PREPARATION
|
||
Spray equipment must be clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before applying BENEVIA®. Fill spray tank 1/4 to 1/2 full of water. Add
|
||
BENEVIA® directly to spray tank. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse the insecticide, once dispersed continued agitation is required. Use
|
||
mechanical or hydraulic means; do not use air agitation. Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and precautions of all products
|
||
used in mixtures.
|
||
Acidification of Spray Tank - If the pH of the spray tank after all products have been added and mixed is above pH 8, adjust to pH 8 or less
|
||
using a registered acidifying agent. If the spray tank pH is 8 or less no adjustment of the spray tank pH is necessary. Spray tanks of pH 8 or
|
||
less can be held for up to 8 hours before spraying. Do not store the spray mixture overnight in the spray tank.
|
||
Compatibility -Since formulations may be changed and new ones introduced, premix a small quantity of a desired tank mix and observe for
|
||
physical incompatibility (settling out, flocculation, etc.). Spray volumes of less than 3 gallons of water and tank mixtures of more than two
|
||
products can increase the chances of incompatible spray mixtures. A jar test (as described below) should be conducted when label guidance
|
||
is not given or prior experience with a specific tank mixture is unknown. The jar test should follow the proper sequence of addition at the spray
|
||
water volume planned to assure that the tank mix is compatible. Constant agitation may be needed during mixing and spraying of mixtures.
|
||
This product can be mixed with pesticide products labeled for use on crops on this label in accordance with the most restrictive of label
|
||
limitations and precautions. Do not exceed labeled dosage rates. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition
|
||
against such mixing.
|
||
Steps to conduct a jar test to determine physical tank mix compatibility of BENEVIA® with other products:
|
||
Add clean water to jar proportional to the planned water volume that will be used in the spray tank (a jar size of 8-16 oz is acceptable).
|
||
Using the most restrictive PPE of the products to be tested, mix proper proportions of BENEVIA® and desired tank mix partner(s) as will be
|
||
present in the spray tank, add one product at a time following the sequence of addition according to formulation type provided in this label.
|
||
Seal and shake mixture after each product is added.
|
||
Allow to stand for 1 hour.
|
||
View jar to determine if settling, flocculation, crystallization or any other undesirable changes have happened.
|
||
If none of the above is observed or the solution can be easily remixed after shaking, the mixture is compatible with BENEVIA®.
|
||
If the tank mix is not compatible, a higher water volume, reduced rate of the tank mix partner(s), reduced number of tank mix partners or a
|
||
compatibility agent may be needed.
|
||
TANK MIXTURES AND CROP SAFETY- BENEVIA® is an oil in water emulsion. The crop safety of BENEVIA® alone or in tank mix with
|
||
many common insecticides, fungicides, nutritionals and adjuvants has been found to be acceptable. Tank mixes of BENEVIA® with some
|
||
products formulated as emulsifiable concentrates (EC), strobilurin fungicides (for example Cabrio and Quadris), copper and sulfur based
|
||
fungicides, chlorothalonil based fungicide formulations (for example, Bravo Weather Stik), and the fungicides Captan, Tanos, Rally and
|
||
Manzate may result in adverse crop response. Some materials including oils, surfactants, adjuvants, nutritionals and pesticide formulations
|
||
when applied individually, sequentially, or in tank mixtures may solubilize the plant cuticle, facilitate penetration into plant tissue, and increase
|
||
the potential for crop injury.
|
||
The application of strobilurin fungicides in a short time sequence (i.e., seven days apart or less between applications) before or after
|
||
BENEVIA® may also result in adverse crop response. Applying BENEVIA® with any product that produces adverse crop response in a tank
|
||
mixture, specifically including, but not limited to, those listed above, may also cause adverse crop response when applied in a short time
|
||
sequence. Such uses should be tested as described below before broad application is made.
|
||
Crop varieties can differ in their responsiveness to tank mixtures, and environmental conditions can have an influence on product performance
|
||
and crop response. It is not possible to test BENEVIA® alone or with all possible tank mix combinations and sequences on all varieties under
|
||
all environmental conditions. When considering the use of a tank mixture on a labeled crop without prior experience, or which is not
|
||
specifically described on BENEVIA® product labeling or in other FMC product use instruction, or when applying any of the aforementioned
|
||
products in close sequence with BENEVIA®, it is important to check crop safety first. To test for crop safety prepare a small volume of the
|
||
intended tank mixture or sequence, apply it to an area of the target crop as directed by both this and the tank mix partner product labels, and
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
observe the treated crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response does not occur.
|
||
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. 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 on each product in the tank mixture. Use of BENEVIA® in any tank mixture or sequence of
|
||
applications that is not specifically described on BENEVIA® product labeling or in other FMC product use instructions, could potentially result
|
||
in crop injury. To the extent allowed by law, FMC will not be responsible for any crop injury arising from the use of a tank mixture or sequence
|
||
of applications that is not specifically described on BENEVIA® product labeling or in other FMC product use instruction.
|
||

CHEMIGATION - Overhead Sprinkler - Potatoes and Bulb Vegetables
|
||
The following types of irrigation equipment may be used for chemigation applications to potatoes and bulb vegetables: overhead sprinkler
|
||
irrigation systems.
|
||
Apply BENEVIA® in sufficient water and of sufficient duration to ensure the specified rate is applied evenly to the entire treated area. Inject
|
||
BENEVIA® downstream from any water filtration system.
|
||
Do not connect any irrigation system used for pesticide applications to a public water system unless the pesticide label- prescribed safety
|
||
devices are in place. 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 at least 60 days out of the year.
|
||
See Required System Safety Devices For All Chemigation Systems at the end of the Chemigation section.
|
||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION USING OVERHEAD SPRINKLER SYSTEMS- POTATOES AND BULB
|
||
VEGETABLES
|
||
Types of Chemigation Systems: BENEVIA® may be applied to potatoes and bulb vegetables through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems,
|
||
including the following; center pivot, end tow, hand move, lateral move, side roll, solid set and wheel line. The irrigation system used must
|
||
provide uniform water distribution.
|
||
Directions for Chemigation:
|
||
Preparation
|
||
A pesticide tank is recommended for the application of BENEVIA® in chemigation systems.
|
||
Thoroughly clean the injection system and tank of any fertilizer or chemical residues using a standard clean-out procedure. Dispose of any
|
||
residues in accordance with State and Federal laws. With the mix tank 1/4 to 1/2 full with water and the agitator running, measure the required
|
||
amount of BENEVIA® and add it to the tank. The highest labeled rate for the specified pest may be necessary when making overhead
|
||
chemigation applications. Then add additional water to bring your total pesticide mixture up to the desired volume for your application. Note:
|
||
Always add BENEVIA® to water, never put BENEVIA® into a dry tank or other mixing equipment without first adding water. See Tank Mixing
|
||
Sequence section of the container label for tank mixing sequence. Continue to agitate the mixture throughout the application process. Use
|
||
mechanical or hydraulic agitation, do not use air agitation.
|
||
Injection Into Chemigation Systems
|
||
Inject the proper amount of BENEVIA® into the irrigation water flow using a positive displacement injection pump or a Venturi injector.
|
||
Injection should occur at a point in the main irrigation water flow to ensure thorough mixing with the irrigation water. For continuously moving
|
||
systems, inject the solution containing BENEVIA® into the irrigation water line continually and uniformly throughout the irrigation cycle. Apply
|
||
in no more than 0.2 inches of water per acre. For overhead sprinkler systems that are stationary, add the solution containing BENEVIA® to the
|
||
irrigation water line and apply no more than 0.2 inches of water per acre.
|
||
Uniform Water Distribution
|
||
The irrigation system used for application of BENEVIA® must provide for uniform distribution of BENEVIA® treated water. Non-uniform
|
||
distribution can result in crop injury, lack of effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues in or on the crop being treated. Ensure the irrigation
|
||
system is calibrated to uniformly distribute the chemigation application to the crop. Contact the equipment manufacturer, the local University
|
||
Extension agent or other experts if you have questions about achieving uniform distribution of the application.
|
||
Equipment Calibration
|
||
Calibrate the irrigation system and injector before applying BENEVIA®. Calibrate the injection pump while the system is running using the
|
||
expected irrigation rate. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact your state extension service specialists, equipment
|
||
manufacturer or other experts.
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
Monitoring of Chemigation Applications
|
||
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of a responsible person, shall
|
||
shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. Wear the personal protective equipment as defined in the PPE
|
||
section of the label for applicators and other handlers when making adjustments or repairs on the chemigation system when BENEVIA® is in
|
||
the irrigation water.
|
||
Operation
|
||
Start the water pump and sprinkler, and let the system achieve the desired pressure and speed before starting the injector. Start the injector
|
||
and calibrate the injection system according to the directions above. This procedure is necessary to deliver the desired rate per acre in a
|
||
uniform manner. When the application is finished, allow the entire irrigation and injector system to be thoroughly flushed clean before stopping
|
||
the system.
|
||
End guns must be turned off during the application, if they irrigate nontarget areas or if they do not provide uniform application and
|
||
coverage.
|
||
The nozzles in the immediate area of wells, control panels, chemical supply tanks and system safety devices are to be plugged to
|
||
prevent contamination of these areas.
|
||
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
|
||
Do not apply when system connections or fittings leak or when nozzles do not provide uniform
|
||
distribution.Do not allow irrigation water to collect or run-off during chemigation.
|
||
Cleaning the System
|
||
Thoroughly clean the injection system and tank of any fertilizer or chemical residues using a standard clean-out procedure. Dispose of any
|
||
residues in accordance with State and Federal laws. Consult your owners manual or your local equipment dealer for cleanout procedures for
|
||
your injection system.
|
||
REQUIRED SYSTEM SAFETY DEVICES FOR ALL CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS
|
||
1. 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.
|
||
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the
|
||
injection pump.
|
||
3. 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.
|
||
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor
|
||
stops.
|
||
5. 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.
|
||
6. Systems must use a metering device, such as a positive displacement pump or a Venturi injector, that provides uniform injection of the
|
||
product, is effectively designed and constructed of materials compatible with the product, and is capable of being fitted with a system
|
||
interlock.
|
||
7. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced- pressure zone, backflow 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 the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill
|
||
pipe.
|
||
SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT
|
||
Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all spray
|
||
equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits which might become difficult to remove.
|
||
Drain spray equipment. Thoroughly rinse sprayer and flush hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
|
||
Clean all other associated application equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. Do not clean near wells,
|
||
water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations.
|
||
|
||
8
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for
|
||
considering all these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
The most effective drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets which are consistent with pest control objectives. The presence of
|
||
sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage.
|
||
Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable
|
||
environmental conditions.
|
||
A droplet size classification system describes the range of droplet sizes produced by spray nozzles. The American Society of Agricultural and
|
||
Biological Engineers (ASABE) provide a Standard that describes droplet size spectrum categories defined by a number of reference nozzles
|
||
(fine, coarse, etc.). Droplet spectra resulting from the use of a specific nozzle may also be described in terms of volume mean diameter
|
||
(VMD). Coarser droplet size spectra have larger VMDs and lower
|
||
drift potential.
|
||
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - GROUND APPLICATION
|
||
For broadcast applications made at planting or prior to the emergence of crops, applicators are required to use a
|
||
coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). For all other broadcast applications, applicators are required to use
|
||
a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
Pressure - The lowest spray pressures recommended for the nozzle produce the largest droplets. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and
|
||
does not improve canopy penetration. When higher flow rates are needed, using a higher-capacity nozzle instead of increasing pressure
|
||
results in the coarsest droplet spectrum.
|
||
Flow Rate/Orifice Size - Using the highest flow rate nozzles (largest orifice) that are consistent with pest control objectives reduces the
|
||
potential for spray drift. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce coarser droplet spectra.
|
||
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE - AIRCRAFT
|
||
For fixed wing and helicopter aerial applications made at planting or prior to the emergence of crops, applicators are required
|
||
to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). For all other fixed wing and helicopter aerial applications, applicators
|
||
are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
Number of Nozzles - Using the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage will produce a coarser
|
||
droplet spectrum.
|
||
Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles in a manner that minimizes the effects of air shear will produce the coarsest droplet spectra. For
|
||
some nozzles such as solid stream, pointing the nozzles straight back parallel to the airstream will produce a coarser droplet spectrum
|
||
than other orientations.
|
||
Pressure - Selecting the pressure that produces the coarsest droplet spectrum for a particular nozzle and airspeed reduces spray drift
|
||
potential. For some nozzle types such as solid streams, lower pressures can produce finer droplet spectra and increase drift potential.
|
||
BOOM LENGTH (AIRCRAFT), AND APPLICATION HEIGHT
|
||
Boom Length (aircraft) - Using shorter booms decreases drift potential. Boom lengths are expressed as a percentage of an aircrafts
|
||
wingspan or a helicopters rotor blade diameter. Shorter boom length and proper positioning can minimize drift caused by wingtip or rotor
|
||
vortices.
|
||
Application Height (aircraft) - Applications made at the lowest height that are consistent with pest control objectives and the safe operation
|
||
of the aircraft will reduce the potential for spray drift. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative
|
||
canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
Application Height (ground) - Applications made at the lowest height consistent with pest control objectives, and that allow the applicator
|
||
to keep the boom level with the application site and minimize bounce, will reduce the exposure of spray droplets to evaporation and wind,
|
||
and reduce spray drift potential.
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential is lowest when applications are made in light to gentle sustained winds (2-10 mph), which are blowing in a constant direction.
|
||
Many factors, including droplet size and equipment type also determine drift potential at any given wind speed. AVOID GUSTY OR WINDLESS
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
Local terrain can also influence wind patterns. Every applicator is expected to be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
|
||
For aerial application, if the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of
|
||
the field. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use a full swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of
|
||
the field.
|
||
For aerial application, do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom
|
||
length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom
|
||
length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
Setting up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for droplet evaporation can reduce spray drift potential. Droplet evaporation is
|
||
most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.
|
||
SURFACE TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
For aerial application, do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Drift potential is high during a surface temperature inversion. Surface inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which may cause small suspended
|
||
droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Surface 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. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. Inversions may also be identified by producing
|
||
smoke and observing its behavior. Smoke that remains close to the ground, or moves laterally in a concentrated cloud under low wind conditions
|
||
indicates a surface inversion. Smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields
|
||
are minimizing drift potential, and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.
|
||
AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST) FIELD CROP SPRAYERS
|
||
Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the potential for drift, but if a
|
||
sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high drift potential can result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to
|
||
determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, that it is configured properly, and that drift potential has been minimized.
|
||
Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. Read the specific crop use
|
||
and application equipment instructions for additional information.
|
||
SENSITIVE AREAS
|
||
Making applications when there is a sustained wind moving away from adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas, bodies of water,
|
||
known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is an effective way to minimize the effect of spray drift.
|
||
DRIFT CONTROL ADDITIVES
|
||
Using product compatible drift control additives can reduce drift potential. When a drift control additive is used, read and carefully observe
|
||
cautionary statements and all other information on the additives label. If using an additive that increases viscosity, ensure that the nozzles and
|
||
other application equipment will function properly with a viscous spray solution. Preferred drift control additives have been certified by the
|
||
Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology.

section.
|
||
§ - Suppression only. Use as part of an effective control program. Rotate with
|
||
products with different modes of action.
|
||
- Colorado potato beetle resistance management - Do not apply BENEVIA®
|
||
more than twice to a generation of Colorado potato beetle or within any 30 day
|
||
period. Application(s) to the next generation of Colorado potato beetle must be
|
||
with an effective product with a different mode of action. Do not apply BENEVIA®
|
||
for Colorado potato beetle control if any cyantraniliprole containing product was
|
||
used at-plant either as a soil applied or seed treatment.
|
||
- Potato Tuberworm: BENEVIA® may be applied at rates of 7 to 13.5 fl oz/A
|
||
to control potato tuberworm. Begin application when field scouting indicates the
|
||
presence of tuberworm adults and/or larvae. Potato tuberworm often have
|
||
overlapping generations so repeat applications of BENEVIA® may be needed
|
||
based on scouting. Avoid treating successive generations with the same mode of
|
||
action. It is important to protect the crop just prior to harvest when foliage starts to
|
||
senesce. Use the higher rate of BENEVIA® when tuberworm pressure is high.
|
||
Failure to adequately control potato tuberworm larvae prior to crop senescence or
|
||
vine kill increases the risk of tuber damage. Foliar sprays alone, by air or ground,
|
||
may not provide adequate control of larvae in the mid to lower crop canopy. For
|
||
best results, apply via overhead chemigation or integrate chemigation applications
|
||
into the foliar spray program. For best results with foliar sprays, add Methylated
|
||
seed oil (MSO) adjuvant at 1 gallon per 100 gallons of spray volume (1% v/v). For
|
||
chemigation applications, apply in 0.1 to 0.2 acre inches of water and add MSO at
|
||
12 to 16 fl oz/acre. See Chemigation - Overhead Sprinkler - Potatoes and Bulb
|
||
Vegetables section for instructions on overhead sprinkler chemigation.
|
||
Suppression of Zebra Chip Disease: Use of BENEVIA® to control potato psyllid
|
||
which may vector zebra chip disease at a rate of 13.5 to 20.5 fl. oz./A applied
|
||
starting when psyllid populations are low will help suppress the expression of the
|
||
zebra chip disease.

Make no more than 3 applications of BENEVIA® or other Group 28 insecticides
|
||
within a single generation of the target pest on a crop.
|
||
Spray Volume: Thorough coverage is essential to achieve best results. Select a
|
||
spray volume appropriate for the size of trees or plants and density of foliage. Where
|
||
higher spray volumes are used, apply a higher rate in the specified rate
|
||
range. Do not apply less than 30 gallons of water per acre by ground. For best
|
||
results apply 100-150 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
* - For best performance use with an effective adjuvant. See Use of Adjuvants
|
||
section.
|
||
- Codling moth (Walnut): Make initial application at or before peak egg lay for
|
||
targeted generation.
|
||
Depending on level of infestation reapply 14 days later as needed. Use higher
|
||
rates and ground application equipment to achieve thorough coverage.
|
||
- Peach Twig Borer: BENEVIA® may be used throughout the growing
|
||
season. For dormant applications an EPA registered dormant oil may be added to
|
||
the application. For specific directions on use of oil, consult manufacturers
|
||
specific oil labels for precautions and restrictions regarding the use of oils in tree
|
||
nut crops. For best performance, apply using ground equipment to achieve
|
||
thorough uniform coverage of all scaffolds and limbs. For spring application to
|
||
overwintering generation: Make applications at late dormant (just prior to bud
|
||
break) to early bloom. For April - May applications to the summer generation:
|
||
Make applications at peak moth flight (timed at or before peak egg lay). Higher
|
||
rates in the labeled rate range may be needed for higher infestation levels and
|
||
large, dense foliage trees.
|
||
- Navel orange worm: Applications can be made during the May spray or
|
||
Hull split application timing. For applications made at Hull split timing - Make
|
||
an application at 1- 2% hull-split timing; make a second application approximately
|
||
10-14 days later. Depending on level of pest infestation, use of higher rates in the
|
||
labeled rate range and multiple applications may be needed.
