USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the
toilet. Users should remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash

ft*thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Users should 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and 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 contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Dimethoate is known to leach through soil into ground water 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 ground-water contamination.
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high
potential for runoff for several days after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product.
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 for
contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding
applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
A vegetative filter strip constructed and maintained in accordance with the 2000 Natural
Resources Conservation Service publication "Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses"
(http://www.nrcs.usda.ggv/feature/buffers/) will significantly reduce the potential for contamination
of waterfrom rainfall-runoff.
HIGHLY TOXIC TO BEES: This product is toxic to bees. Restrict application to the period after
dark when bees are inside the hive or in the early morning before the bees are foraging in the
fields. Protective information may be obtained from your Cooperative Agricultural Extension
Service.
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Combustible. Do not use, pour, spill, or store near heat or open flame. Do not use this product in
or on electrical equipment due to the possibility of shock hazard.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not
apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through
drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements
specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
This product is for use in commercial settings only. Use in residential settings is prohibited.
DO NOT use this product on crops grown in greenhouses.
This product may be used to control the types of insects listed in the tables in this section of the
label on the fruit crops, nut crops, vegetable crops, field crops, and other crops listed in those
tables. This product may be applied using ground sprayers, aircraft, or the types of irrigation
systems indicated under "Application through Irrigation Systems."
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product 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 this label
about personal protective equipment (PPE), restricted-entry interval, and notification to workers.
The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker
Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI).
PPE required for early entry to 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, is: coveralls worn over long-sleeved shirt and pants, chemical-resistant gloves made of
any waterproof material, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and chemical-resistant
headgear for overhead exposure.
Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at
entrances to treated area.
Aerial Application
Automatic flagging devices must be used whenever feasible. If human flaggers are employed,
they must wear the protective clothing and respirator specified on this label.
Requirements for Reducing Spray Drift
Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage,
or- other-plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use, or
consumption can occur.
1. Use the largest droplet size consistent with acceptable efficacy. Formation of very small
droplets may 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. For
groundboom and aerial applications, use medium or coarser spray nozzles according to
ASABE 572 definition for standard nozzles or a volume mean diameter (VMD) of 300 microns
or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
2. Make aerial or ground applications when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition.
Apply only when the wind speed is less than or equal to 10 mph. For all non-aerial
applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site on the upwind
•side, immediately prior to application.
3. Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. Inversions
are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with increasing distance above
the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. Where
permissible by local regulations, the applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by
producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
4. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and
therefore the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low
humidity and/or high temperatures.
5. All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using
appropriate carriers.
6. For groundboom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground
or crop canopy.
7. 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 in to the canopy.
8. For aerial applications, release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight
safety. If the application includes an aquatic buffer zone, do not release spray at a height
greater than 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy.

9. For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimizd
drift caused by wing up vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used and
must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of rotor blade diameter. Use upwind swath
displacement.
Application through Irrigation Systems
Apply this product only through the following types of systems: center pivot, lateral move, end
tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems. 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
nonuniform distribution of treated water.
If you have questions about calibration, you should 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.
Mix, in clean supply tank, the specified amount of this product for acreage to be covered and
needed quantity of water.
This product should not be tank-mixed with other pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers unless prior
use has shown the combination noninjurious under your conditions of use.
Follow precautionary statements and directions for all tank-mixed products.
On all crops, use sufficient gallonage of water to obtain thorough and uniform coverage, but not
cause runoff or excessive leaching. This will vary depending on equipment, pest problem and
stage of growth. Application of more or less than optimal quantity of water may result in
decreased chemical performance, crop injury or illegal pesticide residues.
Meter this product into the irrigation water uniformly during the period of operation. Do not overlap
application. Follow specified label rates, application timing, and other directions and precautions
for crop being treated.
Continuous mild agitation of pesticide mixture may be needed to assure a uniform application,
particularly if the supply tank requires a number of hours to empty.
Systems Connected to Public Water Sources
Great care should be taken and properly maintained equipment used when connecting
chemigation systems to public water supplies. The following information is provided for users who
have diligently considered all other application and water supply options before electing to make
such a connection.
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human
consumption if such a system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average
of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. Chemigation systems connected to
public water systems must contain a functional reduced-pressure zone, 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

6
discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical
break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir
tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either
automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump,
when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g.,
diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Sprinkler Irrigation (Foliar Spray Uses)
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from
backflow. --------
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either
automatically or manually shut down.
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the
water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is
adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g.,
diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with
pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and nozzles before turning off
irrigation water.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Resistance Management
Dimate 4E contains a Group 1B insecticide or acaricide. Insect/mite biotypes with acquired
resistance to Group 1B may eventually dominate the insect/mite population if Group 1B
insecticides or acaricides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the

r 7
primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of
those species by this product or other Group 1B insecticides or acaricides.
To delay insecticide or acaricide resistance consider:
• Avoiding the consecutive use of this product or other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides that
have similar target site of action on the same insect/mite species.
• Using tank mixtures or premixes with insecticides/acaricides from a different target s'ite
action Group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use and
have different sites of action.
• Basing insecticide/acaricide use on a comprehensive IPM program.
• Monitoring treated insect/mite populations for loss of field efficacy.
• Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors,. and/or Winfield
Solutions, LLC representative for insecticide/acaricide resistance management and/or IPM
recommendations for specific site arid resistant pest populations.
Mixing Directions
Mix this product in water to form an emulsion spray mixture. To make the emulsion, fill the spray
tank half way with water. Agitate and add the proper amount of this product (see "Crops and
Sites" table and "Ornamentals" for crop to be treated). Then fill the spray tank with water while
still agitating. Continue to agitate mixture during use.
The hazards and precautions associated with handling this product apply to it equally before and
after it is diluted with water for spray application.
Applicatic-n Rates and Spray Equipment
The "Crops and Sites" table and the paragraphs pertaining to "Ornamentals" indicate the
amounts of this product that are to be applied per acre treated per application. Repeat
applications as necessary to control the pests listed on this label unless directed otherwise by this
label for the crop to be treated. Where the table indicates a range in application rate, use the
lower of the rates indicated when treating small or young plants or when dealing with light
infestations of insects.
This product is intended for use in conventional hydraulic sprayers, ground applicators or aerial
sprayers. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift of spray from treated areas. Repeat

FOR USE ON ORNAMENTAL PLANTS GROWN IN NURSERIES ONLY
Do not use on ornamental plants growing in greenhouses, Christmas tree and conifer plantations,
landscapes, interiorscapes and residential, public, recreational, commercial, industrial and
institutional establishments. Do not use on Japanese maples or Red leaf ornamental species.
DIMATE-4E is effective in controlling many sucking, piercing and chewing insects, including
aphids, thrips, leafminers, scales, leafhoppers, and mites that attack valuable ornamental
plantings. For proper timing of treatments for the control of specific pests on ornamental plants,
consult local horticultural authorities. Apply sprays uniformly and thoroughly to foliage, except as
otherwise directed, when insects or their damage is first observed. Where not prohibited by this
label, applications to ornamental plants may be repeated as necessary. Do not overdose or
overspray.
Do not use on ornamental plants not listed on this label unless a sample test area has shown that
this product is not phytotoxic to your plants. A small test area should always be sprayed first
before use. Do not use on any ornamental stock plants grown as a source of propagation
material, such as cuttings, layers, root stocks or scions for grafting or budding. Do not use in
spray mixtures containing oil.
IMPORTANT-When making soil injections, use a low pressure soil injection device. Always wear
a full face shield, rubber gloves, long-sleeved shirt and rubber apron. DO NOT inject into soil
areas where children or pets may dig or exhume treated soil. Do not make soil injections within
20 feet of edible crop gardens.
