Dear Jayne Walz:

The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable.
However, EPA reviewed only the label changes highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated on
the submitted label. Any other changes to the previously approved label that were not clearly
highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated in your submission were not reviewed and may
form the basis of regulatory and/or enforcement action if later discovered by the Agency.
Further, submission of a label amendment application with unidentified changes may be
considered a knowing submission of false information to the Agency. This approval does not
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.

The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions
Reviewed” and is attached 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. In
accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the
previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you
may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently

Case Number 652200

approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its
implementing regulation at 40 C.F.R. § 152.3.

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 contains any false or misleading statement, design, or graphic, the
product may be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA Sections 2(q)(1)(A)
and 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 the product label,
claims made as part of the product’s sale or distribution may not substantially differ from those
claims approved through the registration process under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(B). 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 the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.

Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance
with FIFRA section 6.

Groundwater Advisory
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. The
use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may
result in groundwater contamination.

Surface Water Advisory
Methoxyfenozide can contaminate surface water through spray drift. Under some conditions,
methoxyfenozide may also have a high potential for runoff into surface water (primarily via dissolution in
runoff water) for several months post-application. These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily
visible slopes toward adjacent surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas over-laying extremely
shallow groundwater, areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to overlaying tile drainage systems that
drain to surface water.

Do not cultivate within 10 feet of aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.

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.

INSECT RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Troubadour® 2F contains methoxyfenozide, a Group 18 insecticide . Any insect population may contain
individuals naturally resistant to methoxyfenozide and other Group 18 insecticides. The resistant
individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides is used repeatedly in the same
fields. Appropriate resistance -management strategies should be followed.

To delay insecticide/acaricide resistance, take the following steps:
• Rotate the use of Troubadour® 2F or other Group 18 insecticides/acaricides within a growing
season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
• Use tank mixtures with insecticides/acaricides from a different group that are equally effective on
the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the
same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted pests)
between the individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the following
recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be
applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target
species.
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not
recommended for insect resistance management.
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual
components for the targeted pest(s).
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active
ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the
two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of
insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect
resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active.

• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides use that includes
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and
which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the
presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in
your area.

Product Information
Troubadour® 2F belongs to the diacylhydrazine class of insecticides and has a novel mode of action that
mimics the action of the molting hormone of lepidopterous (moths, butterflies) larvae. Upon ingestion, larval
stages of the order lepidoptera undergo an incomplete and developmentally lethal premature molt. This
process interrupts and rapidly halts their feeding. Feeding typically ceases within hours of ingestion,
although complete mortality of the larvae may take several days. Affected larvae often become lethargic
and often develop discolored areas or bands between segments.

Troubadour® 2F is a narrow spectrum insecticide that specifically targets Lepidoptera, making it an ideal
tool for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

Use Rate Determination
Carefully read, understand and follow label use rates and restrictions. Apply the amount specified in the
following tables with properly calibrated aerial or ground spray equipment. Prepare only the amount of
spray solution required to treat the measured acreage. Use the lower rates for light infestations of the target
lepidopterous species and the higher rates for moderate to heavy infestations. Troubadour® 2F may be
applied in either dilute or concentrate sprays so long as the application equipment is calibrated and
adjusted to deliver thorough, uniform coverage. Use the specified amount of Troubadour® 2F per acre
regardless of the spray volume used.

Mixing Directions
Always shake well before use. Avoid freezing.

Troubadour® 2F – Alone
Fill the spray tank one-third to one-half full of clean water and slowly pour Troubadour® 2F into the spray
tank. Maintain agitation in the spray tank during mixing, loading and application. Triple rinse empty
container and add rinsate to the spray tank.

Troubadour® 2F – Tank Mix
Troubadour® 2F is believed to be compatible with most commonly used agricultural fungicides,
insecticides, growth regulators, foliar fertilizers and spray adjuvants. However, whenever preparing a new
tank mix, always conduct a compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a
test vessel (jar). Shake the mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Rapid precipitation of the
ingredients and failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and should not
be applied.

It is the pesticide user's 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 of each product in the tank mixture.

Mixing Order for Tank Mixes: Fill the spray tank with water to one-fourth to one-third of the required spray
volume. Start agitation. Add different formulation types in the order indicated below, allowing time for
complete dispersion and mixing after addition of each product. Allow extra dispersion and mixing time for
dry flowable products.

Add different formulation types in the following order:
1. Water dispersible granules
2. Wettable powders
3. Troubadour® 2F and other aqueous suspensions
Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to three-fourths of total spray volume. Then add:
4. Emulsifiable concentrates and water-based solutions
5. Spray adjuvants
6. Foliar fertilizers

Finish filling the spray tank. Maintain continuous agitation during mixing, final filling and throughout
application. If spraying and agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the materials may
settle to the bottom. Settled materials must be resuspended before spraying is resumed. A sparger agitator
is particularly useful for this purpose.

Application Timing
The activity of Troubadour® 2F is expressed primarily through ingestion by the target larvae.
Consequently, the timing of application is dependent upon the feeding behavior of the target pest. For
cryptic (internal) feeding larvae, application must be made prior to the time that surface feeding occurs, i.e.,
just prior to initiation of egg hatch. For foliar or surface feeding larvae, application may be made while
active feeding is occurring.

Filename: Troubadour 2F (5905 -653) AD 011724(FTA040225) STK

Reapplication may be required to protect new flushes of foliage, rapidly expanding fruit, or for extended
infestations. The reapplicatio n interval will vary depending upon how rapidly the crop is growing, the
generation time of the target pest and the duration of the infestation.

Troubadour® 2F is effective against all larval instars; however, it is good practice to make applications to
early instars to minimize feeding damage. For best results, begin applications when threshold levels of
moths, eggs or larvae occur. Consult the Cooperative Extension Service, or other qualified professional
authorities, to determine the appropriate threshold and timing for application in your area.

Application Directions
Troubadour® 2F must be ingested by insect larvae to be fully effective. Applications must be in a manner
that assures uniform and thorough coverage. Higher water volume and increased spray pressure generally
provide better coverage.

Spray Drift

Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy, unless a
greater application height is appropriate for pilot safety.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet sizes (ASABE S572.1).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is
greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing
aircraft and 75% or less for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less for
fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less for helicopters.
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.

Airblast Applications:
• Sprays must be directed into the canopy.
• User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer rows.


Ground Boom Applications:
• User must only apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more
than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplets (ASABE S572.1).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.

IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide
target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.

Filename: Troubadour 2F (5905 -653) AD 011724(FTA040225) STK
10

Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift.
Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed,
consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target
spray volume and droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using
nozzles designed to reduce drift.

Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for setting up nozzles.
Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.

BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
• For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.

RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
• Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.

SHIELDED SPRAYERS
• Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded
sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the
target area.

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
• When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of
evaporation.

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
• Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized
by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and
light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement
of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves
laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke
that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications
during temperature inversions.

WIND
• Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY
WIND CONDITIONS.
• Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.

Handheld Technology Applications:
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

Ground Application
To avoid drift and achieve maximum performance of this product, make ground applications when the wind
speed favors on-target product depositions (3 to 10 mph). Wind speed must be measured adjacent to the
application site on the upwind side immediately prior to application. Do not apply when wind speed exceeds
10 mph. For groundboom applications, apply using a nozzle height of no more than 4 feet above the
ground or crop canopy. Shut off the sprayer when turning at row ends. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic
areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind directions are toward the aquatic area.

Filename: Troubadour 2F (5905 -653) AD 011724(FTA040225) STK
11

Airblast Sprayer: When using an airblast sprayer, coverage is also improved by operation of the sprayer
at ground speeds that assure that the air volume within the tree canopy is completely replaced by the
output from the airblast sprayer. Making applications in an alternate row middle pattern may result in less
than satisfactory coverage and poor performance in conditions of high pest infestation levels, extremely
large trees and/or dense foliage. For airblast applications, turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and
when spraying the outer two rows. To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard applications, spray must
be directed into the canopy.

Chemigation Application
Troubadour® 2F may be applied to cranberries and ornamentals through sprinkler irrigation equipment.
Do not apply this product by chemigation unless specified in crop-specific directions in this label or Helena
Chemical Company’s supplemental labeling.

General Directions for Chemigation: Apply through a properly calibrated chemigation system that has
the appropriate back flow prevention devices. See the Mixing section of the product label for specific mixing
and dilution instructions. Apply Troubadour® 2F in dedicated chemigation cycles only, not as a part of a
regular irrigation cycle. Do not exceed 900 gallons of water per acre application volume using just enough
water to thoroughly wet the plants but not the soil. Use minimum volume for flushout to avoid diluting or
rinsing off product. Washout time should not exceed six (6) minutes. Set sprinkler heads in a spacing not
exceeding 50 feet by 60 feet and adjusted to provide 100% overlap.

Apply this product only through solid -set sprinkler systems designed specifically for chemigation.
Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or
illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have
questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other
experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application
to a public water system unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in
place. 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.
1 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.
2 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.
3 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 back flow.
4 The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
5 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.

Filename: Troubadour 2F (5905 -653) AD 011724(FTA040225) STK
12

6 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.
7 The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch that will stop the water
pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely
affected.
8 Systems not connected to a public water supply must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief
valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located in the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source
contamination from back flow.
9 Systems must use a positive displacement, metering 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.
10 Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
11 If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts.

Aerial Application
Mount the spray boom on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor vortices. Use the
minimum pra ctical boom length and do not exceed 75% of the wing span or 80% of the rotor diameter.
Flight speed and nozzle orientation must be considered in determining droplet size. Spray must be
released at the lowest height consistent with pest control and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height
greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. When
applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must
compensate for this displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the
aircraft upwind.

Rainfastness
As soon as dry, Troubadour® 2F will resist wash-off better than most insecticides. However, efficacy or
residual will be reduced with exposure to rainfall or overhead irrigation.

Spray Adjuvants
The addition of agricultural adjuvants to sprays of Troubadour® 2F may improve initial spray deposits,
redistribution and weatherability. Select adjuvants that are recommended and registered for your specific
use pattern and follow their use directions. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Helena
Chemical Company recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified
adjuvant. Always add adjuvants last in the mixing process.

1Pome fruits (crop group 11-10) including apple, Asian pear, azarole, crabapple, loquat, mayhaw, medlar,
pear, quince, tejocote, cultivars, varieties, and/or hybrids of these

For best protection, begin applications before egg hatch of each generation. For pests that penetrate fruit
apply Troubadour® 2F before the larvae hatch and penetrate the fruit. Troubadour® 2F may provide 10
to 18 days of protection depending upon application rate and how rapidly fruit and/or leaves are expanding.
Most effective crop protection results from an application of Troubadour® 2F made at the initiation of egg
hatch. For heavy infestations, continuous moth flight and egg laying, or extended egg hatch, use the
maximum specified rates. Maintain coverage on the fruit surface with 10- to 18-day re-treatment intervals.

Troubadour® 2F may also be used in a program approach alternated or interspersed with other
insecticides. Make sure the re-treatment interval does not exceed the period of effectiveness of the
alternate products and Troubadour® 2F .

Consult local spray timing advisories or follow biofix dates based upon pheromone trap catches to time
sprays appropriately.

Ground Application: Apply Troubadour® 2F by conventional ground sprayers which are calibrated to

For each generation, apply
at initiation of egg hatch
(first generation is
approximately 8 to 15 days
following biofix). Control of
first generation may require
second application to
ensure complete coverage
of rapidly expanding nuts
and foliage, or under
conditions or extended egg
lay.
A higher rate in the rate
range may be required for
extended residual
effectiveness, higher pest
infestations, low crop load,
larger trees, or heavy
dense foliage.
• Preharvest Interval: Do
not apply within 7 days
of harvest.
• Do not apply more than
8 fl oz (0.12 lb. a.i.) per
acre per application or
more than a total of
3264 fl oz (0.51 lb. a.i.)
of Troubadour® 2F per
acre per year.
• The minimum
retreatment interval
must not be less than 14
days.

For each generation, apply
at initiation of egg hatch
(100 to 200 DD following
biofox). Control of first
generation may require
second application (14 - to
18-day re-treatment
interval) to ensure
complete coverage of
rapidly expanding nuts and
foliage.
After nut growth and foliage
expansion slows, a 14- to
21-day re-treatment interval
may be required to provide
control of extended moth
flight.
A higher rate in the rate
range may be required for
extended residual
effectiveness, high pest
infestation levels, larger
trees, or heavy dense
foliage.

Tree Nut Crops in Crop Group 14-12 not Specifically Listed Above
Restrictions :
1. Preharvest Interval: Do not apply within 7 days of harvest.
2. Do not apply more than 24 fl oz (0.38 lb. a.i.) per acre per application or more than a total of 64 fl
oz (1 lb. a.i.) of Troubadour® 2F per acre per year.

Performance of Troubadour® 2F against pests not listed on this label cannot be warranted nor can crop
tolerance in all types and varieties of tree nuts be assured. If unsure, the user is advised to treat a few trees
to observe for symptoms before treating large blocks of trees. Generally, optimum performance against
lepidoptera pests (worms) is achieved when Troubadour® 2F is applied at the initiation of egg hatch.
Reapplication intervals of 14 to 20 days may be required if the plant part(s) to be protected from insect
damage is rapidly growing or expanding or if pest infestations are heavy or extended.
