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 with the 
Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR part 170. This Standard 
contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on 
farms, forests, nurseries, 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 (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this 
product that are covered by the WPS. 
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI 
of 4 hours. 
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under 
the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been 
treated, such as plants, soil, or water is: Coveralls, shoes plus 
socks, and chemical-resistant gloves, made of barrier laminate, 
nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils, or viton ≥ 14 mils. 
 
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that 
are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard for 
Agricultural Pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when 
this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, 
nurseries, or greenhouses. 
Do not enter or allow others to enter until sprays have dried. 
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact adults, children or 
pets either directly or through drift. 
MIXING DIRECTIONS 
Use only in equipment with sufficient agitation to keep spray thoroughly 
mixed. Be sure tank is clean. With agitator running, start filling tank 
with water; add oil when tank is about one-half full. Pump this mixture 
through the overflow and back into tank for about two minutes. If this 
mixture turns white, it indicates good emulsification. Fill the tank with 
water, adding other materials that are to be part of the mix as tank is 
filling. If wettable powders are used, add and thoroughly mix before 
adding oil. Observe all precautions and limitations on labeling of all 
products used in mixtures. Keep agitator running at all times. If an 
injector is used, first add 25 to 50 gallons of water to tank with engine 
running to provide good pressure. Put injector suction tube into the 
measured amount of spray oil, opening injector valve to allow the oil 
to be sucked into the tank, then fill the tank with water. 
DO NOT USE THIS MATERIAL IF IT DOES NOT EMULSIFY. 
Pre-harvest Interval – This product may be used up to the day of 
harvest. 
To ensure thorough coverage, dilute applications (greater than 
150 gals. of spray solution per ac.) should be used. Concentrate 
applications (usually from 20 to 150 gals. of spray solution) may 
reduce the coverage and thus the effectiveness. Application volumes 
depend on the crop type, crop size and target pest. Adjust the spray 
volume to obtain the best coverage without runoff. Extreme care 
should be taken when using concentrate spray as the potential for 
enhanced crop phytotoxicity is increased. A concentrate application 
can provide satisfactory results as long as the spray unit is properly 
engineered, calibrated and operated. 
NOTE: Use efficient equipment of the proper type. Avoid spraying 
during or immediately prior to hot or freezing weather (over 95°F, or 
under 32°F), hot dry winds, rain or other unsuitable conditions; avoid 
overspraying or double spraying. Plants should be sprayed only when 
in vigorous condition and when their moisture condition is suitable. 
Before using, make certain spray tank is free of Sulfur residues. 
Do not apply Sulfur within 30 days except in the northwest (Oregon 
and Washington) where it may be used in combination on Pears as a 
Post-harvest (after old fruit is off the tree), Dormant and Delayed 
Dormant (before the scales slip, or at/or prior to bud swell) treatment 
and on Apples prior to or up to the Delayed Dormant (one-half inch 
green) period. In areas west of the Continental Divide, do not apply to 
Captan treated trees within 90 days after or 60 days before this oil. In 
areas east of the Continental Divide, do not apply to Captan treated 
trees within 10 to 14 days before and after this oil. If in doubt, spray 
a portion of one tree previously treated with Sulfur or Captan using 1 
quart to 25 gallons of water. Burn will show in several days if sufficient 
time has not elapsed. 
This product has not been tested on all species or varieties. Before 
treating a large area, treat a small area and observe prior to full scale 
application. 
A period of 14 days must elapse before any of the following chemicals 
are used before or after an application of this product: Anilazine 
(Dyrene), Chlorothalonil (Bravo), Dicloran (Botran), Dicofol (Kelthane), 
Dikar, Dinocap (Karathane), Permethrin (Ambush, Pounce). 
Do not use Chlorothalonil (Bravo) or Dimethoate (Cygon) in a spray 
program with this product on grapes, ornamentals, and strawberries. 
Do not use Dicofol (Kelthane) in a spray program with this product on 
ornamentals and strawberries. Do not use Propargite (Omite) with an 
oil spray or within 30 days before or after an oil spray. 
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES 
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE 
SPRAY DRIFT. 
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND 
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. 
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE 
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use 
the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying 
larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be 
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable 
environmental conditions. 
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom 
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are 
produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray 
volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, 
consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate. 
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the 
nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. 
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended 
application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. 
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft 
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations for 
setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles 
should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. 
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom 
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop 
and have minimal bounce. 
RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft 
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When 
applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a height greater 
than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height 
is necessary for pilot safety. 
SHIELDED SPRAYERS 
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. 
Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not 
interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. 
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY 
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger 
droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. 
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature 
inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude 
and are common on nights with limi ted cloud cover and light to no 
wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or 
by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke 
generator. 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 air 
mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. 
WIND 
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. 
AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. 
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that 
could affect spray drift. 
SPRAY DRIFT 
Boomless Ground Applications: 
• Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the 
potential for spray drift. 
SPRAY DRIFT 
Handheld Technology Applications: 
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

USE RESTRICTIONS: Do not apply more than 29.8 gals. of this product (212 lbs. of active ingredient) per acre in a maximum of 2,000 gals. of 
spray mix per acre, when treating Citrus in California (based on thorough coverage spray, with 1.5 gals. of product mixed in 100 gals. of water). 
CITRUS (Florida and Texas) 
Grapefruit, Lemons, Limes, Oranges, Tangelos, Tangerines and Other Citrus Hybrids 
Dilute spray – Apply the spray oil application rate in up to 1500 gallons of water per acre, or 30 to 35 gallons per tree, to over 45 gallons per tree 
for large trees. Improved efficacy can be obtained when the oil is added to a partially filled spray tank under proper agitatio n and all foliage is 
thoroughly covered. 
Precautions in the use of oil include: Do not apply oil spray when trees are wilting. Do not apply oil and sulfur within 3 week s of each other in 
Florida or Texas. Oil spray applied after October 1 may increase susceptibility of trees to cold damage and may reduce the fruit crop the following 
year. Oil sprays applied in the Fall may inhibit solids formation in the juice and retard coloring of fruit and should not be applied within 60 days of 
anticipated harvest. Sensitive foliage may be injured. 
Florida growers: Consult the Florida Citrus Spray and Dust Schedu le, or your Agricultural Experim ent Station or State Extension Service 
Specialist for complete details on the spraying program suited to your locale.
