Precautionary Statements
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or
using the toilet. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid con-
tact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing spray mist.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before use.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Shoes plus socks
User Safety Requirements
Follow manufacturers instructions for cleaning/maintaining
PPE. If no such instructions exist for washables, use deter-
gent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from
other laundry.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. DO NOT
apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water
mark. DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift
from treated areas. Drift and runoff from treated areas may
be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to
treated areas. DO NOT dispose equipment washwaters or
rinsate into a natural drain or water body.
This product is toxic to honey bees. The persistence of
residues and potential residual toxicity of dinotefuran in
nectar and pollen suggests the possibility of chronic toxic
risk to honey bee larvae and the eventual instability of the
hive.
• This product is toxic to bees exposed to residue for more
than 38 hours following treatment.
• DO NOT apply this product to blooming, pollen-
shedding or nectar-producing parts of plants if bees may
forage on the plants during this time period, unless the
application is made in response to a public health
emergency declared by appropriate state or federal
authorities.
Groundwater Advisory
Dinotefuran and its degradate, MNG, have the properties
and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
groundwater. The high water solubility of dinotefuran, and
its degradate MNG, coupled with its very high mobility, and
resistance to biodegradation indicates that this compound
has a strong potential to leach to the subsurface under
certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater
contamination. Periodic monitoring of shallow groundwater
in the use area is recommended.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Wash hands with soap and water before eating, drink-
ing, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside.
Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product.
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon
as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
clothing.

residues.
Certador
® insecticide (henceforth referred to as Certador)
is a selective insecticide which should have minimal impact
on beneficial arthropods and its use is compatible with inte-
grated pest management (IPM) programs. However,
Certador is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or to
residue on blooming crops and weeds.
Certador is taken up into foliage after application.
Thorough spray coverage is essential for optimal perform-
ance. Apply Certador in sufficient water to ensure good
coverage.

• Chemical resistant gloves (made of any waterproof
material)
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
DO NOT contaminate water, food or feed by storage, dis-
posal or cleaning of equipment.
Pesticide Storage
Protect from direct sunlight. Store in cool, dark, and well-
ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed.
Pesticide Disposal
Pesticide wastes may be hazardous. Improper disposal of
excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of
federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use
according to label instructions, contact your State
Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the
Hazardous Waste representative of the nearest EPA
Regional Office for guidance.
Container Handling
Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this
container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or
equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recy-
cling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or
puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by inciner-
ation, or by other procedures approved by state and local
authorities.
Triple rinse containers small enough to shake
(capacity ≤ 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining
contents into application equipment or a mix tank and
drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the
container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 sec-
onds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix
tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for
10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this pro-
cedure two more times.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued)
Container Handling (continued)
Triple rinse containers too large to shake
(capacity > 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining
contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the
container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten clo-
sures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth,
ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds.
Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth
several times. Turn the container over onto its other end
and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate
into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate
for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more
times.
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining
contents into application equipment or mix tank and con-
tinue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.
Hold container upside down over application equipment
or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal.
Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container
and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain
for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.
Certador® insecticide may aid in the suppression of
some pests. Suppression can mean either inconsistent
control (good to poor), or consistent control at a level
below that generally considered acceptable for commercial
control.
If the maximum season limit of Certador as stated in
Table 1. Restrictions and Limitations Overview and
Table 2. Crop-specific Application Instructions has
been applied and pest populations require additional treat-
ments, use another registered pesticide that is not in the
neonicotinoid class or nitroguanidine subclass of
chemistry.
Resistance Management Recommendations
Certador contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect bio-
types with acquired resistance to Group 4A insecticide
may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A
insecticides are used repeatedly in the same field or in suc-
cessive years as the primary method of control for targeted
species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of
those species by Certador or other Group 4A insecti-
cides.
To delay insecticide resistance, consider:
• NOT using a foliar application of dinotefuran or any
insecticide in the neonicotinoid class following an
in-furrow or soil application of Certador.
• To optimize resistance management practices, no more
than 3 applications of Certador per growing season are
allowed.
• Avoiding the consecutive use of Certador or other
Group 4A insecticides that have a similar target site of
action, on the same insect species.
• Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a
different target site of action Group as long as the
involved products are all registered for the same use and
have different sites of action.
• Basing insecticide use on a comprehensive IPM program.
• Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field
efficacy.
• Consult your local extension specialist, crop advisor
and/or BASF representative for additional IPM Strategies
established for your area.
Mixing Instructions
Certador Alone
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
With the agitator running, add the desired amount of
Certador to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the
remainder of the water. Begin solution application after
Certador has completely dispersed into the mix water.
Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Certador + Tank Mixture
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
Start the agitator running before adding any tank mix part-
ners. Add tank mix partners in this order: products
packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders,
wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquids,
emulsifiable concentrates, and surfactants/adjuvants.
Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dis-
persed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient
agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain
agitation until all the mixture has been applied.
NOTE: When using Certador in tank mixtures, all products
in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank
before any other tank mix partner, including Certador. Allow
the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the
product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other
tank mix partner to the tank.
If using Certador in a tank mixture, observe all directions
for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions,
and limitations that appear on the tank mix product label.
No label dosage rate should be exceeded, and the most
restrictive label precautions and limitations should be fol-
lowed. This product should not be mixed with any product
that prohibits such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applica-
tions of products referenced on this label are permitted
only in those states in which the referenced products are
labeled.
Compatibility
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops has
not been tested. Before applying any tank mixture not
specifically recommended on this label, the safety to the
target crop should be confirmed.
Certador is compatible with most commonly used pesti-
cides. However, since it is not possible to test all possible
mixtures, the user should pre-test to assure the physical
compatibility and lack of phytotoxic effect of any proposed
mixtures with Certador. To determine the physical com-
patibility of Certador with other products, use a jar test, as
described below:
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the
products to 1 quart of water. Add wettable powders and
water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flow-
ables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly
mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination
remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically
compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the
same procedure for additional required ingredients to the
spray tank.
Application Procedures And Spray Equipment
Apply Certador when insect pest populations begin to
build, but before populations reach economically damaging
levels. Economic thresholds for pests controlled by
Certador may be available from your local agricultural
authorities.
Ground Application
Select spray nozzles which will provide accurate and uni-
form spray deposition. Use spray nozzles which provide
medium-sized droplets and reduce drift. To help ensure
accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For
information on spray equipment and calibration, consult
5
nozzle manufacturers and/or state extension service
specialists.
Apply Certador® insecticide using sufficient water volume
to provide thorough and uniform coverage. In situations
where a dense canopy exists and/or pest pressure is high,
use greater water volumes. The use of a spray adjuvant
may improve spray coverage. Avoid making applications
under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be
obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
Aerial Application
Apply Certador in water, using the minimum spray volume
indicated in the Application Instructions section of each
crop, but not less than 3 gallons/A. Increase spray volume
where practical to improve coverage. Avoid making appli-
cations under conditions where uniform coverage cannot
be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
Application Through Irrigation Systems
(Chemigation)
Certador, alone or in combination with other products
which are registered for application through sprinkler irriga-
tion, may be applied through irrigation systems where so
noted in the soil application of each crop. Certador may
be applied through microirrigation (individual spaghetti
tube), overhead irrigation, motorized calibrated irrigation
equipment, drip irrigation, or trickle irrigation where so
noted in the soil application of each crop, but must NOT be
applied through only any other type of irrigation system.
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide
residues in the crop can result from non -uniform distribu-
tion 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 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.
Using Water from Public Water Systems
DO NOT apply Certador through any irrigation system
physically connected to a public water system.
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 at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days per
year. Certador may be applied through irrigation systems
which may be supplied by a public water system only if the
water from the public water system is discharged into a
reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be
a complete break (air gap) between the outer 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. Before begin-
ning chemigation always make sure that the air gap exists
and that there is no blockage of the overflow of the reser-
voir tank.
Any irrigation system using water supplied from a public
water system must also meet the following Operating
Instructions for All Recommended Types of Irrigation
Systems requirements.
Operating Instructions for All Recommended Types
of Irrigation Systems
• The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the
rates specified. If you have questions about calibration,
contact state extension service specialists, equipment
manufacturers, or other experts.
• The system must contain a functional check valve, vacu-
um relief valve and low pressure drain appropriately
located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source
contamination from back flow.
• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a func-
tional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a func-
tional, 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 with-
drawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is
either automatically or manually shut down.
• The system must contain functional inter-locking controls
to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
when the water pump motor stops.
• The irrigation line or water pump must include a function-
al 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.
• DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the
area intended.
Calibration and Application Instructions
Apply Certador under the schedule specified in the specif-
ic crop use recommendations, not according to the
irrigation schedule unless the events coincide. In general,
set the equipment to apply the minimum amount of water
per acre. Run the system at 86 to 90% of the manufactur-
ers maximum rated travel speed.
The following calibration and application techniques are
provided for user reference, but DO NOT constitute a war-
ranty of fitness for application through sprinkler irrigation
equipment. Check with state and local regulatory agencies
for potential use restrictions before applying any agricultural
chemical through sprinkler irrigation equipment.
6
Drip or Trickle Irrigation Equipment
1. Determine the acreage covered by the irrigation
equipment.
2. Fill injector solution tank with plain water and calibrate
the flow rate of the system to deliver the contents of the
tank over a 20 to 40 minute time interval.
3. Determine the amount of Certador
® insecticide
required to treat the area covered by the irrigation
system.
4. Add the required amount of Certador, and any other
tank mix partners, into the same quantity of water used
to calibrate the injection period. (See “Mixing
Instructions” section of this label.)
5. Operate the system at the same pressure and time inter-
val established during the calibration.
6. Inject specified amount of Certador per acre for either a
20 to 40 minute period at the end of a regular irrigation
set, or as a 20 to 40 minute injection as a separate
application not associated with a regular irrigation to
maximize retention of the insecticide by the foliage.
7. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed.
Continue to operate the system until the Certador solu-
tion has cleared the last sprinkler head. To ensure lines
are flushed and free from remaining pesticides, a dye
indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end
of the application period.
Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Use only drive systems that provide uniform water distribu-
tion. DO NOT use end guns when chemigating Certador
through center pivot systems because of non-uniform
application. Plug the first nozzle closest to the well head to
protect the water source.
1. Determine the size of the area to be treated.
2. Determine the time required to apply 0.1 to 0.25 inches
of water over the area to be treated when the system
and injection equipment are operated at normal pres-
sures as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
Run the system at 80 to 95% of the manufacturers
rated maximum travel speed.
3. Using water, determine the injection pump output when
operated at normal line pressure.
4. Determine the amount of Certador, and any tank mix
partners, required to treat the area covered by the irriga-
tion system.
5. Add the required amount of Certador, and any tank mix
partners, and sufficient water to meet the injection time
requirements to the solution tanks. (See “Mixing
Instructions”section of this label.)
6. Make sure the system is fully charged with water before
starting injection of the Certador solution. Time the
injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the
system to full pressure.
7. Maintain constant agitation in the solution tank during
the injection period.
8. Inject the specified amount of Certador per acre contin-
uously for one complete revolution of the system.
9. Stop the injection equipment after treatment is com-
plete. Continue to operate the system until the Certador
solution has cleared all of the sprinkler heads.
10. Allow time for all lines to flush the pesticide through all
nozzles before turning off irrigation water.
Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation
Equipment
1. Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers.
2. Fill injector solution tank with plain water and calibrate
the flow rate of the system to deliver the contents of the
tank over a 20 to 40 minute time interval.
3. Determine the amount of Certador required to treat the
area covered by the irrigation system.
4. Add the required amount of Certador, and any other
tank mix partners, into the same quantity of water used
to calibrate the injection period. (See “Mixing
Instructions” section of this label.)
5. Operate the system at the same pressure and time inter-
val established during the calibration.
6. Inject specified amount of Certador per acre for either a
20 to 40 minute period at the end of a regular irrigation
set, or as a 20 to 40 minute injection as a separate
application not associated with a regular irrigation to
maximize retention of the insecticide by the foliage.
7. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed.
Continue to operate the system until the Certador solu-
tion has cleared the last sprinkler head. To ensure lines
are flushed and free from remaining pesticides, a dye
indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end
of the application period.
Recommendations To Avoid Spray Drift
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibil-
ity of the applicator. 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 decisions. Where states
have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
Follow these recommendations to avoid spray drift:
1. Make applications when wind velocity favors on-target
product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph).
DO NOT apply when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph.
Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 10 mph.
2. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be
reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is
toward the aquatic area.
3. DO NOT cultivate or plant crops within 25 feet of the
aquatic area as to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.
4. DO NOT make applications during temperature inver-
sions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and
increasing temperatures with increased height above the
ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an
inversion in humid areas. The applicator may detect the
presence of an inversion by producing smoke and
observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
7
5. Use the largest droplet size consistent with good pest
control. Small droplets are more prone to spray drift and
can be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by
orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as
possible, and by avoiding excessive spray boom
pressure.
6. Apply as close to target plants as practical to obtain a
good spray pattern for adequate coverage. Applications
more than 10 ft above the crop canopy should be avoided.
7. For aerial applications, the spray boom should be
mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused
by wing tip vortices. Use the minimum practical boom
length. DO NOT exceed 75% of wing span or rotor
diameter.
Air Assisted (Air Blast) Tree and Vine Sprayers
(Grape and Potato Only)
Air assisted tree and vine sprayers carry droplets into the
canopy of trees and vines via a radially or laterally directed
air stream.
In addition to the general drift management principles
already described, the following specific practices will fur-
ther reduce the potential for drift:
• Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only
directed into the canopy.
• Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no over-
hanging canopy.
• Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and
provide good coverage. Use a minimum of 50 gallons fin-
ished spray per acre.
• DO NOT allow spray to go beyond the edge of the culti-
vated area. Spray the outside row only from outside the
planting.
Restrictions
• DO NOT graze treated areas or use clippings from treat-
ed areas for feed or forage.
• DO NOT apply under conditions where uniform coverage
cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may
occur.
• Prevent runoff or puddling of irrigation water following
application.
• DO NOT apply to areas that are water logged or saturat-
ed, or frozen, that will not allow penetration into the root
zone of the plant.
• DO NOT use on house plants grown inside residences.
• Rotational Crops - For all crops other than cucurbit
vegetables, fruiting vegetables, grape, head and stem
Brassica, leafy vegetables, and potato, a 120-day plant-
back interval must be observed.
