ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to wildlife and aquatic invertebrates. This product is highly foxic to bees and other
pollinators exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do riot apply this product or
allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees or other pollinating insects are foraging in 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. 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 with in
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.gov/feature/buffers/) will significantly reduce the potential for contamination of waterfrom
rainfall-runoff.
Protective information may be obtained from your cooperative agricultural extension service.

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.^ cl 11' 11
This product is for use in commercial setting only. Use in residential settings is prohibitcd.c c _ c <.- <. u
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
consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

t AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170.
This Standard cpntains 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). The REI for a
specific crop is listed in the directions for use associated with that crop.
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-
sleeve shirt and long pants, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, chemical-resistant
footwear plus socks, and chemical-resistant headgear (if 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 flaggersare 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 ASAE 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 layei; near
the ground surface. <- <• <-<-«.«. <•
4. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets avid therbfor'e0the
likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low1 hyvrritJity and/o'r'-high
temperatures. cc 1.,l"ccc<,
5. All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calib'riaieo using appropriate
carriers. c,.tc<.
6. For groundboom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the grourcd orWop
canopy. \t,_c
7. For airblast applications, turn off outward-pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying theater two
rows. To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard applications, spray must be directed into 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 minimize drift caused by
wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used and must not exceed 75% of the
wingspan of 90% of rotor blade diameter. Use upwind swath displacement.
INFORMATION ;
Dimethoate 4E is useful for control of certain pests of certain fruit crops, nuts, vegetables, and field crops.
Dimethoate4E may be applied by ground sprayers or by airplanes, mixing the Dimethoate 4E in water to form
an emulsion spray solution. To make the spray solution, half fill the spray tank with water, agitate, add the
proper amount of Dimethoate 4E and then fill the spray tank with water While still agitating. Continue to agitate
during use. '
t
When applying with ground sprayers, calibrate so as to apply the specified amount of Dimethoate 4E in not less
than 3 gallons of water per acre unless directed otherwise. Airplanes'must spray the specified amount of
Dimethoate 4E in 3 to 10 gallons of water per acre unless directed otherwise. Always use sufficient water for
adequate coverage of the crop foliage. The dosages given under DIRECTIONS FOR USE are the amounts of
Dimethoate 4E to be applied per acre treated per application. Repeat application as necessary, unless
otherwise directed in DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Where a dosage range is given, use the lower rate in small or
young plants or with light insect infestations; use the higher rate on large or more mature plants or with heavy
insect infestations. The hazards and precautions for handling Dimethoate 4E in this container are equally
applicable to it after dilution with water for spray application.
APPLICATION THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
Apply this product only through sprinkler, including 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 non-uniform
distribution of treated water.
If you should 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.
In a clean supply tank, mix the recommended amount of this product for acreage to be covered and the needed
quantity of water.
L C-
(, C C
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. ^ t
Follow precautionary statements and directions for all tank-mixed products. ' L '.
;
tec c
On all crops, use sufficient gallonage of water to obtain thorough and uniform coverage, tut not cause runoff or
excessive leaching. This will vary depending on equipment, pest problem and stage of growth. Appjicatipn 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 recommended 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
Gre,at care must be taken and properly maintained equipment must be 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.t
Putflic 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 Ifeast 60 days out of the year. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a
functional reduced-pressure zone, backflow preventer, 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 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. CL (. ^ I. <. L <-

on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to pievenffluid fronn being
withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or rriariually shut'dowh.<- <- C I-
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injectiohjDump
when the water pump motor stops.
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the
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.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Use of dimethoate is prohibited during any time of day in any given orchard
from when that orchard has 10% open blooms until such time as there has
been at least 75% petal fall on the north side of the trees. Applications of
dimethoate shall be limited to that period of time between one (1) hour after
sunset to three (3) hours before sunrise when any one of the following
conditions prevail: 1) Before the onset of petal fall, the orchard to be treated
has open blooms present and these open blooms represent less than 10% of
the total anticipated blooms in the orchard. 2) After the initiation of petal fall
there are less than 25% of open blooms remaining in the orchard to be
treated. 3) It is between the calendar dates of February 15 and May 1st.
All applications of dimethoate on citrus must be documented on Form 1080
written either by a pest control advisor, farm owner or farm manager as is
normally required for custom applications of pesticides, except that private
applicators may omit the "Pesticide Application Report" section. The
description of the status of bloom of the orchard to be treated as it was at the
time of the application shall be indicated in the section for "Label
Restrictions/Special Instruction". Both private and custom applicators shall mail
to the Agriculture Department's Phoenix office the original of each completed

Dimethoate 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 agricultural authorities. Apply
sprays uniformly and thoroughly to foliage, except as otherwise directed, when insects or their damage is first
observed. Repeat applications as needed. Do not overdose or overspray. Use only on the ornamental plants
listed below.
IMPORTANT - Do not use on ornamental plants grown in greenhouses, Christmas tree and conifer plantations,
landscapes, interiorscapes and residential, public, recreational, commercial, industrial, and institutional
establishments. When making soil injections, use a low pressure soil injection device. Always wear a full face
