User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the
toilet.
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and
put on clean clothing.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming
crops/plants or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming
crops/plants or weeds while bees are foraging in or adjacent to the treatment area.
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal
areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff from treated areas may be
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when
cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwater.

-4-
• Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rain
water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground
water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water
via runoff for several months after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative
buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features
such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of
thiamethoxam water from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours.
(See manual at the following Internet address:
http://www.wsi.nrcs.usda.gov/productsAA/2Q/pest/core4.html)
Ground Water Advisory
Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals
detected in ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are
permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground
water contamination.
Spray Drift Advisory
Do not allow this product to drift.

For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for
pesticide regulation.
Centric 40WG is a selective insecticide and its use is compatible with integrated pest
management programs. However, Centric 40WG is toxic to bees exposed to direct
treatment or to residue on blooming crops/plants and weeds. Do not apply Centric
40WG or allow it to drift onto blooming plants if bees are foraging in the treated area.
Do not use Centric 40WG in nurseries, greenhouses, plant propagation houses, or on
any plants grown for use as transplants.
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) 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

P1-10-
Chemical-resistant gloves - Category A (e.g., natural rubber >14 mils)
Shoes plus socks
Protective eyewear
FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY
RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR INSECT CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL
RESIDUES.
Centric 40WG controls many sucking and chewing insects through contact and ingestion
on cotton, tree nuts and soybeans.
For best performance, always follow these directions:
• Centric 40WG should be applied when insect pest populations begin to build, but
before populations reach economically damaging levels. Economic thresholds for
pests controlled by Centric 40WG may be available from your local agricultural
authorities.
• Centric 40WG is rapidly taken up into foliage after application. However, thorough
spray coverage is essential for optimal performance. Apply Centric 40WG in
sufficient water to ensure good coverage. See specific application information in the
Crop Use Directions section of this label. The use of higher water volumes will
generally result in better coverage, especially under adverse conditions (e.g. hot,
dry) or where a dense plant canopy exists. The use of a spray adjuvant may
improve spray coverage but is not required.
• Centric 40WG is rainfast once the spray solution has dried on treated plants.
• Centric 40WG has a wide margin of plant safety when used in accordance with this
label.
Resistance Management
Centric 40WG belongs to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry (Group 4A Insecticide).
Pests which are resistant to insecticides in other chemical classes are not known to be
cross-resistant to Centric 40WG. However, insect pests are known to develop
resistance to products used repeatedly. Because resistance development cannot be
predicted, the use of this product should conform to sound resistance management
strategies established for the crop and use area.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Ground Application

-11-
Spray nozzles should be selected which will provide accurate and uniform spray
deposition. Use spray nozzles that provide medium-sized droplets and reduce drift. To
help insure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For information on spray
equipment and calibration, consult nozzle manufacturers and / or State Extension
Service specialists.
Apply Centric 40WG 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 increase spray coverage but is
not required. Avoid making applications under conditions where uniform coverage
cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
Precautions: (1) Use spray volumes of 3-10 gal./A. For optimum coverage and
efficacy, a spray volume of 5 gals or greater per acre is recommended. (2) Select
nozzles which produce the desired droplet sizes at the normal rated pressure range. (3)
When spraying fine-sized droplets, carefully check a//_nozzles for flow and calibrate the
sprayer. (4) The sprayer should travel at a uniform speed across the field. (5) Monitor
environmental conditions and follow Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift carefully.
Aerial Application
Apply Centric 40WG in water, using a minimum spray volume of 3 gals. /A. Increase
spray volume where practical to improve coverage. Avoid making application under
conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift
may occur.
Recommendations to Avoid Spray Drift
As with all crop protection products, it is important to avoid off-target movement. Do not
allow spray to drift onto adjacent land, crops or aquatic areas. Follow these
recommendations to avoid spray drift:
• Make applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition
(Approximately 3-10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 10mph.
Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 10mph.
• Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications
when wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
• Do not cultivate or plant crops within 25 ft. of the aquatic area as to allow growth of a
vegetative filter strip.
• Do not make aerial applications during temperature inversions. 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.
• 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.

13
-12-
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.
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 wing span or rotor diameter.

-13-
MIXING PROCEDURES
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly
clean spray equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary for
proper dispersal of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying
operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the
spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously
treated area. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use.
Centric 40WG Alone
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add
the desired amount of Centric 40WG to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the
remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after Centric 40WG has
completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has
been applied.
Centric 40WG + Tank Mixtures
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running
before adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners should be added in
this order: products packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable
granules (dry flowables) such as Centric 40WG, liquid flowables, liquids, emulsifiable
concentrates and surfactants / adjuvants. Always allow each tank mix partner to
become fully dispersed 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 Centric 40WG in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble
packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including
Centric 40WG. 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 Centric 40WG 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. Do not exceed any label dosage rate, and follow the most restrictive label
precautions and limitations. Do not mix Centric 40WG with any product that prohibits
such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label
are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are labeled.
Compatibility
Centric 40WG is compatible with most commonly used pesticides, crop oils, adjuvants,
and nutritional sprays. 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 Centric 40WG. To determine the physical compatibility of
Centric 40WG with other products, use a jar test, as described below.
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add
wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables,
and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5

-14-
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 adding
required ingredients to the spray tank.
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops has not been tested. Before
applying any tank mixture not specified on this label, the safety to the target crop should
be confirmed.

Pollinator Precautions:
Centric 40WG is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on
blooming crops. Do not apply during pre-bloom or during bloom when bees are
foraging. Do not apply Centric 40WG or allow it to drift to blooming crops if bees are
foraging in or adjacent to the treatment area. This is especially critical if there are
adjacent orchards that are blooming. After a Centric 40WG application, wait at least
5 days before placing beehives in the treated field. If bees are foraging in the ground
cover and it contains any blooming plants or weeds, always remove flowers before
making an application. This may be accomplished by mowing, disking, mulching,
flailing, or applying a labeled herbicide. Consult with your local cooperative extension

-18-
service or state agency responsible for regulating pesticide use for additional pollinator
safety practices.

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
CAUTION
Harmful if absorbed through skin, swallowed or inhaled. Causes moderate eye irritation.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Avoid breathing vapor or spray mist. Wash
thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum,
or using tobacco. Remove contaminated clothing and wash before reuse.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates.
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming
crops/plants or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming
crops/plants or weeds while bees are foraging in or adjacent to the treatment area.
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal
areas below the mean high water mark. Drift or runoff from treated areas may be
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when
cleaning equipment or disposing of equipment washwater.
• Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to spray drift and runoff of rain
water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground
water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water
via runoff for several months after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative
buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features
such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of
thiamethoxam water from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours.
(See manual at the following Internet address:
http://www.wsi.nrcs.usda.gov/productsA/V2Q/pest/core4.html)
• Ground Water Advisory
Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals
detected in ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are
permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow may result in ground
water contamination.
• Spray Drift Advisory
Do not allow this product to drift.

Pesticide Disposal
Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of unused pesticide, spray mixture, or
rinse water is a violation of Federal law. If these wastes cannot be used according to
label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the
Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance in
proper disposal methods.
