Re: TR1MAX™ PRO Insecticide, EPA Reg. No. 264-855:
1. Amendment by Notification (per PR Notice 98-10) to Add Several Changes to the
Label as per Gene Benbow e-mail to Jamin Huang, dated November 20th, 2013.
2. Amendment Request to Deletion of the 10-month rotational restriction for onion and
bulb vegetables
Ms. Venus Eagle:
As allowed by PR Notice 98-10, we are notifying the Agency of minor labeling amendments for
TRIMAX™ PRO Insecticide (EPA Reg. No. 264-855). In an e-mail received November 20th,
2013, from EPA (Gene Benbow) to Bayer CropScience (Jamin Huang), the Agency requested
that several revisions be made to the subject product label and be submitted as a notification.
These changes came about as part of the mandated pollinator health label language required for
nitroguanidine neonicotinoid products meeting certain application conditions.
This notification is consistent with the provisions of PR Notice 98-10 and EPA regulations at 40
CFR 152.46, and no other changes have been made to the labeling or the confidential statement
of formula of this product. I understand that it is a violation of 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1001 to willfully
make false statement to EPA. I further understand that if this notification is not consistent with
the terms of PR Notice 98-10 and 40 CFR 152.46, this product may be in violation of FIFRA and
I may be subject to enforcement action and penalties under sections 12 and 14 of FIFRA.
Also part of this request, I am requesting an amendment to include, among the changes, the
deletion of the 10-month rotation restriction for onion and bulb vegetables (page 8 of the label).
Now that the use of imidacloprid on crop group 03-07 (Bulb Vegetables) is approved, the need
for a plant back restriction is no longer necessary. Instead, Bulb Vegetables has been added to
the list of crops for immediate plant-back.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me by phone at (919)
549-2824 or by e-mail at clive.halder@bayer.com.

PROTECTION OF POLLINATORS
APPLICATIOM RESTRICTIONS EXIST FOR THIS PRODUCT
BECAUSE OF RISK TO BEES AND OTHER INSECT POLLINATORS. FOLLOW APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS
FOUND IN THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE TO PROTECT POLLINATORS.
Look for the bee hazard icon ^s in the Directions for Use for each application site for specific use restrictions and
instructions to protect bees and other insect pollinators.
This product can kill bees and other insect pollinators.
Bees and other insect pollinators will forage on plants when they flower, shed pollen, or produce nectar.
Bees and other insect pollinators can be exposed to this pesticide from:
o Direct contact during foliar applications, or contact with residues on plant surfaces after foliar applications
o Ingestion of residues in nectar and pollen when the pesticide is applied as a seed treatment, soil, tree injection, as
well as foliar applications.
When Using This Product Take Steps To:
o Minimize exposure of this product to bees and other insect pollinators when they are foraging on pollinator
attractive plants around the application site.
o Minimize drift of this product on to beehives or to off-site pollinator attractive habitat. Drift of this product onto
beehives or off-site to pollinator attractive habitat can result in bee kills.
Information on protecting bees and other insect pollinators may be found at the Pesticide Environmental Stewardship
website at: http://pesticidestewardship.org/PollinatorProtection/Pages/default.aspx.
Pesticide incidents (for example, bee kills) should immediately be reported to the state/tribal lead agency. For contact
information for your state, go to: www.aapco.org/officials.html. Pesticide incidents should also be reported to the National
Pesticide Information Center at: www.npic.orst.edu or directly to EPA at: beekill(5iepa.qov
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN MIXING AND APPLYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS
LAKES; RESERVOIRS; RIVERS; PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS; ESTUARIES AND COMMERCIAL
FISH FARM PONDS.
Spray Drift Management
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for
considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
Mixing and Loading Requirements
To avoid potential contamination of groundwater, the use of a properly designed and maintained containment pad for mixing and
loading of any pesticide into application equipment is recommended. If containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of
25 feet between mixing and loading area and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads,
sinkholes or field drains.
For Aerial Applications
The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom
length should be used, and must not exceed 75% of the wing span or rotor diameter.
Importance of Droplet Size
An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small droplets (<150 - 200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large droplets.
Within typical equipment specifications, applications should be made to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient
control and coverage. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away
from the air stream as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure.
Spray should be released at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight safety. Applications more than 10
feet above the crop canopy should be avoided.
Wind Speed Restrictions
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors,
including droplet size, canopy and equipment specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Do not apply when winds
are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by
avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
Restrictions During Temperature Inversions
Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature inversions.
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move
laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on
nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their
presence can be indicated by ground fog; however if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke
from a ground source. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an
inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical mixing.
Airblast (Air Assist) Specific Recommendations for Tree Crops and Vineyards
Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air stream. The following specific drift
management practices should be followed:
• Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy;
• Block off upwaici pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy;
• Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage;
• Do not allow the spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area (i.e., turn off sprayer when turning at end rows);
• Only spray inward, toward fhe orchard or vineyard, for applications to the outside rows.
No-Spray Zone Requirements for Foliar Applications
Do not apply by ground wiihin 25 feet, or by air within 150 feet of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or natural
ponds;'estuaries and comrr.e'cial fish farm ponds.
Runoff Management
Do not cultivate wi'hin 10 feefbTihe aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.
When used on erodible soils, Best Management Practices for minimizing runoff should be employed. Consult your local Natural
Resources Conservation Service for recommendations in your use area.
Endangered Species Notice
Under the Endangered Species Act, it is a Federal Offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of a member of an
endangered species. Consult your local county bulletin, County Extension Agent, or Pesticide State Lead Agency for information
concerning endangered species in your area.
Resistance Management
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product
should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area.
TRIMAX™ PRO Insecticide contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent tolerance to Group 4A
insecticides may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of
control for targeted species.
The active ingredient in TRIMAX PRO is a member of the neonicotinoid chemical class. Avoid using a block of more than three
consecutive applications of TRIMAX PRO and/or other Group 4A products having the same or similar mode of action. Following a
neonicotinoid block of treatments, Bayer CropScience strongly encourages the rotation to a block of applications with effective products
of a different mode of action before using additional applications of neonicotinoid products. Using a block rotation or windowed
approach, along with other IPM practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or delaying an insect pest's ability to
develop resistance to this class of chemistry.
Foliar applications of TRIMAX PRO or other Group 4A products from the neonicotinoid chemical class should not be used on crops
previously treated with a long-residual, soil-applied product from the neonicotinoid chemical class.
Other Group 4A neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: Actara, Assail, CALYPSO, Centric, Clutch, Couraze, Gallant,
Impulse, Intruder, LEVERAGE, Nuprid, Pasada, PROVADO and Venom.
Other Group 4A neonicotinoid products used as soil/seed treatment include: ADMIRE PRO, Advise, Alias, Belay, Couraze, Cruiser,
GAUCHO, Macho, Macho Max, Nuprid, Platinum, Venom, and Widow.
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product manufacturer for additional insect resistance management
recommendations. Also, for more information on Insect Resistance Management (IRM), visit the Insecticide Resistance Action
Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://irac-online.org.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
See individual crops for specific pollinator protection application restrictions. If none exist under
the specific crop, for foliar applications, follow these application directions for crops that are
contracted to have pollinator services or for food/feed & commercially grown ornamentals that are
attractive to pollinators:
FOR CROPS UNDER CONTRACTED POLLINATION SERVICES
Do not apply this product while bees are foraging. Do not apply this product until flowering is complete and all petals
have fallen unless the following condition has been met.
If an application must be made when managed bees are at the treatment site, the beekeeper providing the pollination
services must be notified no less than 48-hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be
removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying.
FOR FOOD CROPS AND COMMERCIALLY GROWN ORNAMENTALS NOT UNDER CONTRACT

• The application is made due to an imminent threat of significant crop loss, and a documented
determination consistent with an IPM plan or predetermined economic threshold is met. Every effort
should be made to notify beekeepers no less than 48-hours prior to the time of the planned application
so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying.
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.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and 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), and
restricted-entry interval. 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) of 12 hours.
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
Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, neoprene rubber, barrier laminate,
polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or viton.
Shoes plus socks
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Do Not Apply TRIMAX PRO In Enclosed Structures Such As Greenhouses Or Planthouses.
Apply TRIMAX PRO as a directed or broadcast foliar spray. Thorough coverage of foliage is necessary without runoff for optimum
insecticidal efficacy. Use adequate spray volumes, properly calibrated application equipment and spray adjuvant if necessary to obtain
thorough coverage. Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of TRIMAX PRO on leaves and fruit may result in loss of insect
control or delay in onset of activity. TRIMAX PRO may be applied with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment.
Minimum spray volumes unless otherwise specified on crop specific application sections are 10 gallons/Acre by ground application and
5 gallons/Acre through aerial equipment. TRIMAX PRO may also be applied by overhead chemigation (see additional CHEMIGATION
DIRECTIONS FOR USE section below) if allowed in crop specific Application section.
TRIMAX PRO use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is not permitted unless
allowed under state-specific labeling. As with any insecticide, care should be taken to minimize exposure of TRIMAX PRO to honey
bees and other pollinators. Additional information on TRIMAX PRO uses for these crops and other questions may be obtained from the
Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants or local Bayer CropScience representatives.
Do not apply more than 0.5 Ib active ingredient per year, regardless of formulation or method of application, unless specified within a
crop-specific application section for a given crop. Additional product use information may be obtained by calling 1-866-99BAYER (1-
866-992-2937).
Restrictions (Foliar applications)
Do not apply more than 0.5 Ib active ingredient per acre, per year regardless of formulation or method of application, unless specified
within a crop-specific section for a given crop.
MIXING INST^'JCl IONS
TRIMAX PRO is a suspension concentrate (flowable) formulation and should be shaken well prior to measuring/mixing. The formulation
is thixotropiC'ind after sitting for a short time reverts to a gel or thick paste consistency helping to prevent phase separation common to
most "flowableii". Alter mcd3"rt^ shaking the formulation thins to a relatively non-viscous liquid which pours and measures easily with
very few trapped air bubbl3s:; another common problem of most flowables.
TRIMAX PRO has demonsxraie'd easy mixing/blooming in water with varying degrees of hardness and temperature. TRIMAX PRO has
demonstrated good mixing -and compatibility with many fluid fertilizers without dilution with water. However, because fertilizers vary
widely in qi/slity^nd composition it is suggested that a jar test be performed (see Compatibility Note below) prior to full-scale mixing.
To prepare th?> application imrture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the tank and with agitation add TRIMAX PRO.
Complete filling tank with talcr.rB of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. TRIMAX PRO may
also be useo Witii;other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions. Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of TRIMAX
PRO and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as specified above and follow suggested Mixing Order below.
Mixing Order
When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders or wettable granules first, TRIMAX PRO and other flowable (suspension
concentrate) products second, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Ensure good agitation as each component is added. Do not add an
additional component until the previous is thoroughly mixed. If a fertilizer solution is added, a fertilizer/pesticide compatibility.agent may
be needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture.
Compatibility Note
Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding TRIMAX PRO to the spray or mix tank. Add proportionate amounts of each
ingredient in the appropriate order, to a pint or quart jar, cap, shake for 5 minutes, and let set for 5 minutes. Poor mixing or formation of
precipitates that do not readily redisperse indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be used. For further information, contact
your local Bayer CropScience representative.
CHEMIGATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Refer to DIRECTIONS FOR USE section before proceeding with chemigation application.
Types of Irrigation Systems
Chemigation applications of TRIMAX PRO may be made to crops through overhead sprinkler chemigation systems if specified in crop-
specific Application sections. Do not apply TRIMAX PRO through any other type of irrigation system.
Water Volume
Make TRIMAX PRO chemigation applications as concentrated as possible. Retention of TRIMAX PRO on target site of insect
infestation is necessary for optimum activity. Chemigation of TRIMAX PRO in water volumes exceeding 0.1 inch/Acre is not
recommended.
Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration
The irrigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in
the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified.
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other
experts.
Chemigation Monitoring
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible
person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Drift
Do not apply when wind speed favors.drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Required System Safety Devices
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation
pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic,
quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain
a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system
interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut
down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water
pump motor stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor
when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump,
such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Using Water from Public Water Systems ;,.,,... .0.
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. Chtniigaiion
systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow preyftnte' (RPZ> or Hie
functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the £PZ, the water from
the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical
break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at leasi xwice, the inside diameter
of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the f!ow cf fluid
back toward the injection. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional normally closed solenoid-operated valve, loc^fsd 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 functions' in,tcr!ocking controls to
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops or in cases where there is ho water p J.TVp,- Ahen
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 ar? compatible
with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

Application Information - TRIMAX™ PRO Insecticide
TRIMAX PRO may be applied with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Apply specified rate per acre as a
directed or broadcast spray to infested area at earliest threshold for target pest, as population begins to develop. Thorough uniform
coverage of all plant parts is required to achieve optimum control. Scout fields and retreat if needed. Follow label directions and apply
TRIMAX PRO to maintain plant health.
The lower rates can be used early season when pest pressures are low or when tank-mixing with other effective products registered for
target insect control. Degree of control or suppression of additional labeled pests will be determined, in part, by the stage of pest
development at application and infestation level of those pests. TRIMAX PRO provides optimal performance against early instar and
early nymphal stages of insects as well as bollworm/budworm eggs. Incomplete coverage may result in slower activity and/or less
overall control from a single application than an application made with higher gallonages. The addition of an organosilicone-based
spray adjuvant may improve coverage.
Regardless of formulation or method of application, apply no more than 0.5 Ib of the active ingredient per acre per year unless
specified, inrluc'hg.seed treatment, soil and foliar uses.
