RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
MALATHION GROUP 1B INSECTICIDE
For resistance management, this product contains a Group 1B insecticide or acaricide. Any insect/mite population may
contain individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides. The resistant individuals
may dominate the insect/mite population if this group of insecticides/acaricides are 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 this product or other Group 1B 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):
Page 5 of 34
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 of 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 insecticides/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 advisor for any additional pesticide resistance -
management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Drexel Chemical Company at +1 (901) 774-4370.
PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
Do not allow spray to contact auto vehicles as paint finish could be permanently damaged. If vehicles come into contact
with spray, wash immediately.
This product is not for use against mosquitoes in the State of New York.
Restrictions for State/Federal Programs
For use only by federal, state, tribal or local government officials responsible for insect control or by persons certified i n
the appropriate category or otherwise authorized by the state or tribal lead pesticide regulatory Agency to perform
grasshopper/Mormon Cricket, Beet Leafhopper or Boll Weevil control applications, or by persons under their supervision,
or as allowed by state regulations for persons treating private property.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
(Note: See separate mandatory spray drift management use directions for public health control applications)
Non-Ultra Low Volume (non-ULV)
Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets in accordance with
American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard (ASABE S641). If the windspeed is 10 miles
per hour or less, applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When
the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the
downwind edge of the field.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than 10
mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wind aircraft and 75% of less of the rotor
diameter for the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the
wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Airblast Applications:
• Sprays must be directed into the canopy.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer row.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets in accordance with
American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT REQUIREMENTS
Observe the following requirements when spraying in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as, but not limited to lakes,
reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds, estuaries and commercial fish ponds.
Droplet Size
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 pre ssure. For groundboom and aerial applications, use only medium or coarser spray nozzles
according to ASAE (S572) definition for standard nozzles, or a volume mean diameter (VMD) of 300 microns or greater
for spinning atomizer nozzles. In conditions of low humidity and high temperatures, applicators should use a coarser
droplet size.
Wind Direction and Speed
Make aerial or ground applications when the wind velocity favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10
mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph. Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 15 mph. For all
non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site on the upwind side, immediately
prior to application.
Temperature Inversion
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. In
conditions of low humidity and high temperatures, applicators should use a coarser droplet size.
Additional Requirements for Ground Applications
For groundboom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
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.
Additional Requirements for Aerial Applications
For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft as to minimize drift caused by wingtip or rotor
vortices. Aerial applicators must consider flight speed and nozzle orientation in determining droplet size. When
applications are made with a cross-wind, 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.
Apply only when weather conditions are favorable. Wind and rising air currents may cause undesirable spray drift and
reduce insect control.
Mist blowers and boom sprayers utilizing a controlled air flow to facilitate particle size any spray deposition may be used
at a vehicle speed of 4 to 10 mph.
Mist blowers with a pump capable of producing 40 psi and blower speeds of 2,600 rpm are satisfactory. Use flat fan
nozzles, 8001 to 8002, placed 30o into air blast, or rotary atomizers placed into the air blast that produce an efficient spray
particle with a mass median diameter of 30 to 100 microns. Other similar application equipment which has demonstrated
the capability to deliver even distribution of the labeled rate over the desired area may be used.
Boom sprayers with a filtered rotary air compressor, either PTO or gas engine driven or an air pump capable of producing
at least 12 psi are satisfactory. Use air pressure on chemical tanks and an accurate metering valve to assure a calibrated
flow of the pesticide. Air should be regulated with a relief valve and gauge for proper air and liquid mixture. Pneumatic -
type spray nozzles, as suggested by equipment manufacturer, should be used for spray particles with mass median
diameter of 30 to 100 microns.
Buffer Zones to Water Bodies
Non-ULV Ground Application
Do not apply within 25 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, wetlands,
ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). You must follow the instructions for additional buffer distances beyond the
25 feet, as applicable, per the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the area in which you are applying the product.

APPLICATION THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS (CHEMIGATION)
Apply this product only through sprinkler, including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun,
solid set, or hand move, or drip 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 non-uniform 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 non-injurious under your conditions of use. Follow precautionary statements and directions for all tank -mix
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 crop 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.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Chemigation Systems Connected to Public Water Systems
Drexel Chemical Company does not encourage 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 systems 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 a 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 pre venter (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 discharged into a reservoir tank
prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow 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.
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 shutdown.
Page 8 of 34
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 Chemigation
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

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas.
When applying as a wide area mosquito adulticide, before making the first application in a season, it is
advisable to consult with the state or tribal agency charged with the primary responsibility for pesticide
regulation to determine if other regulatory requirements exist.
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply
this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds while bees are actively foraging the treatment area,
except when applications are made to prevent or control a threat to public and/or animal health determined
by a State, tribal or local public health or vector control agency on the basis of documented evidence of
disease causing agents in vector mosquitoes of the occurrence of mosquito-borne disease in animal or human
populations, or if specifically approved by the State or tribe during a natural disaster recovery effort. When
applying as a wide area mosquito adulticide, do not apply over bodies of water (lakes, rivers, permanent
streams, natural ponds, commercial fish ponds, swamps, marshes, estuarines), except when necessary to
target areas where adult mosquitoes are present, and weather conditions will facilitate movement of applied
material away from the water in order to minimize incidental deposition into the water body.
Do not discharge effluent containing this product into lakes, streams, ponds, estuarines, oceans, or other
waters unless in accordance with the requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems
(NPDES) permit and the permitting authority has been notified in writing prior to discharge. Do not discharge
effluent containing this product to sewer systems without previously notifying the local sewage treatment plant
authority. For guidance, contact your State Water Board or Regional Office of the EPA.
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Combustible: Do not use or store near heat or open flame.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
MALATHION GROUP 1B INSECTICIDE
For resistance management, this product contains a Group 1B insecticide or acaricide. Any insect/mite
population may contain individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 1B
insecticides/acaricides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect/mite population if this group of
insecticides/acaricides are 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 this product or other Group 1B 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 of 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.
Page 29 of 34
• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticides/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 advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-
management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Drexel Chemical Company at 1-901-
774-4370.
ULTRA-LOW VOLUME APPLICATIONS
Mandatory Spray Drift Management
• Apply when ground wind speeds are equal to or greater than 1 mph.
• All types of applications should be conducted when temperatures at ground level are at or above
50°F.
For Ground Applications:
• Create an optimum swath when possible. An optimum swath width can be achieved when this
product is applied from a truck that is being driven perpendicular to the wind direction. Direct the
spray head of equipment to ensure even distribution of the spray cloud throughout the area.
• FOR BEST RESULTS treat when mosquitoes or insects are most active and weather conditions
are conducive to keeping the spray cloud in the air column close to the ground.
• An inversion of air temperatures and a light breeze is preferable. Application during the cooler
hours of the night or early morning is recommended.
For Aerial Applications:
• Do not apply by fixed wing aircraft at a nozzle height less than 100 feet (30.5 m) above ground or
canopy, or by helicopter at a height less than 75 feed (22.9 m) above the ground or canopy, unless
specifically approved by the state or tribe based on public health needs.
• Adult mosquito control applications should be limited to trained personnel.
• For use only by federal, state, tribal or local government officials responsible for public health or
vector control or by persons certified in the appropriate category or otherwise authorized by the
state or tribal lead pesticide regulatory Agency to perf orm adult mosquito control applications, or
by persons under their supervision, or as allowed by state regulations for persons treating private
property.
• This pesticide is toxic to aquatic organisms. Runoff from treated areas or deposition of spray
droplets into a body of water may be hazardous to aquatic organisms.
• Do not apply over bodies of water (lakes, rivers, permanent streams, natural ponds, commercial
fish ponds, swamps, marshes or estuaries), except when necessary to target areas where adult
mosquitos are present, and weather conditions will facilitate movement of applied material beyond
the body of water to minimize incidental deposition into the water body. Do not contaminate bodies
of water when disposing of equipment rinsate or wash waters.
• Before making the first application in a season, consult with the state or tribal Agency with primary
responsibility for pesticide regulation to determine if other regulatory requirements exist.
• Treatment of a site must be based on surveillance results. Do not treat any site with malathion
more than 1 time per day. Do not apply more than 0.23 lbs ai/acre of this product per day by air
or 0.06 lbs ai/acre per day by ground within any 24 -hour period. Do not treat any site with more
than 0.46 lb ai/acre within a 7 day period and the amount of undiluted product applied to any site
must not exceed 5.75 lbs ai/acre per year. More frequent treatments may be made to prevent or
control a threat to public and/or animal health determined by a state, tribal or local health or vector
control agency on the basis of documented evidence of disease causing agents in vector
mosquitoes or the occurrence of mosquito -borne disease in animal or human populations, or if
specifically approved by the state of tribe during a natural disaster effort.

PRECAUTIONS
Before using, read the directions contained in this labeling for the proper methods and procedures which
must be followed.
It is advisable to consult with the state or tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation before
making the first application to determine if other regulatory requirements exist.
AERIAL APPLICATION
Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter produced is less than 60 microns
(Dv 0.5 < 60 um) and that 90% of the spray is contained in droplets smaller than 100 microns (Dv 0.9 < 100
um). The effects of flight speed and, for non -rotary nozzles, nozzle angle on the droplet size spectrum must
be considered. Directions from the equipment manufacturer or vendor, pesticide registrant or a test facility
using a wind tunnel and laser-based measurement instrument must be used to adjust equipment to produce
acceptable droplet size spectra. Application equipment must be tested at least annually to confirm that
pressure at the nozzle and nozzle flow rate(s) are properly calibrated.
GROUND BASED APPLICATION
Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter produced is less than 30 microns (Dv
0.3 < 30 um) and that 90% of the spray is contained in droplets smaller than 50 microns (Dv 0.9 < 50 um).
Directions from the equipment manufacturer or vendor, pesticide registrant or a test facility using a laser-based
measurement instrument must be used to adjust equipment to produce acceptable droplet size spectra.
Application equipment must be tested at least annually to confirm that pressure at the nozzle and nozzle flow
rate(s) are properly calibrated.
Thermal Aerosol or Fogs
For control of adult mosquitoes with thermal aerosols or fogs, apply this product at the rate of 6 oz. actual per
gallon (7.7 gallons of this product in 100 gallons finished solution*) by ground equipment delivering 40 gallons
per hour at vehicle speed of 5 miles per hour to treat a swath width of 300 to 400 feet.
*There is a great variation in the chemical composition of fuel oils which may be used as thermal fog solvents.
These differences may cause sludge and/or affect the solubility of this product.

OPERATING EQUIPMENT:
Each nonthermal aerosol generator used for dispersal of this product to control adult mosquitoes must have
the minimum capability of producing the droplet spectrum described under "GROUND BASED
APPLICATION". The initial determination of droplet size is made after the unit is installed in a vehicle and
prior to its use in mosquito control operations. Recheck the unit as frequently as necessary to insure that
proper droplet size is maintained for each operation. Determination of droplet size annually is usually sufficient
if the unit has been maintained in good operating conditions. If chemical flow rate or any changes or
modifications are made to the equipment, recheck the calibration and droplet size characterization. The unit
must be inspected before each operation to correct any leaks or obstructions in the spray system to detect
whether the nozzle, hoses, or other parts are worn and need replacement, to insure that the flow meter is
properly calibra ted and to determine that the pressure recommended by the manufacturer is being
maintained. Consult your equipment manufacturer's instructions for additional calibration and droplet size
checks and requirements.
Nozzle Direction - Angled in a backwards direction out the side or rear of the vehicle.
- Angled in an upwards direction based on fogger characteristics.
Vehicle Speed - Allowable speed dictated by local policies and laws, as well as capabilities of the application
equipment.
- Shut off spray equipment when vehicle is stopped.
