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.
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high
potential for runoff after application. Use care when applying into an area which is adjacent to
any body of water, and do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from target area. Poorly
draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to product 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.
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.
Do not discharge effluent containing this product into lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans,
or other waters unless in accordance with the requirements of a National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (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.
This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or
weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are
actively visiting the treatment area. In citrus, stone fruit, pome fruit and tree nuts: Do not apply
this product within 3 days prior to bloom, during bloom, or until petal fall is complete. Protect
pollinating insects by following label directions intended to minimize drift and to reduce
risk to these organisms.

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 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 restricted-entry interval (REI). The REI for each crop is listed in
the directions for use associated with each 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
• Chemical Resistant gloves such as Barrier Laminate, or Butyl Rubber or Nitrile Rubber,
or Viton
• Eye wear
• Shoes plus socks











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, or
nurseries. Do not enter or allow others to enter until sprays have dried.

PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
Do not permit spray to contact auto vehicles as paint finish could be permanently damaged.
If vehicles come into contact with spray, wash immediately.
Not for residential use.
For proper mixing, fill the spray tank at least ¾ filled with water before Cheminova Malathion
57% Low VOC is added. Mechanical agitation or recirculation through the pump by-pass to the
tank is usually sufficient for maintaining a good dispersion. Rinse empty container with water
and drain into spray tank repeat twice more. Repeat applications may be made as indicated.
Consult your State Agricultural Experiment Station for proper timing of applications.
Restrictions for State/Federal Programs:
For use only by federal, state, tribal or local government officials responsible for insect control or
by persons certified in 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.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, Cheminova Malathion 57% Low VOC contains a Group 1B
insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Cheminova
Malathion 57% Low VOC and other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides. The resistant individuals
may dominate the insect 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 Cheminova Malathion 57% Low VOC 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.
Pollinator Protection:
Managed pollinator protection plans are developed by states/tribes to promote communication
between growers, landowners, farmers, beekeepers, pesticide users, and other pest management
professionals to reduce exposure of bees to pesticides. If available, visit state plans for additional
information on how to protect pollinators.
Pollinator Best Management Practices (Agricultural Uses):
Following best management practices can help reduce risk to terrestrial pollinators. Examples of
best management practices include applying pesticides in the evening and at night when pollinators
are not foraging and checking to confirm hive locations before spraying. For additional resources on
pollinator best management practices,
visit https://www.epa.gov/pollinator-protection/find-best-management-practices-protect-pollinators.
Pollinator Best Management Practices (Non-Agricultural Uses):
Following best management practices can help reduce risk to terrestrial pollinators. Examples of
best management practices include applying pesticides in the evening and at night when pollinators
are not foraging and avoiding applications to flowering plants. For additional resources on pollinator
best management practices,
visit https://www.epa.gov/pollinato
r-protection/find-best-management-practices-protect-pollinators.
How to Report Bee Kills: It is recommended that users contact both the state lead agency and the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to report bee kills due to pesticide application. Bee kills can
be reported to EPA at beekill@epa.gov. To contact your state lead agency, see the current listing of
state pesticide regulatory agencies at the National Pesticide Information Centers website:
http://npic.orst.edu/reg/state_agencies.html.
Ecological Incidents: To report ecological incidents, including mortality, injury, or harm to plants and
animals, call 1-800-331-3148.
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 if 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 insecticide/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 advisors 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 FMC at 1-800-331-3148.

Mandatory Spray Drift Management
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 3/4 swath displacement
upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per
hour, applicators must use full 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 wing
aircraft and 75% or less of 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.
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 crosswind, 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 and spray
deposition may be used at a vehicle speed of 4 to 10 mph.
Mandatory Spray Drift Management, continued
Mist blowers with a pump capable of producing 40 psi and blower speeds of 2600 rpm are
satisfactory. Use flat fan nozzles, 8001 to 8002, placed 30° 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 - 100 microns.
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.
Buffer Zones to Water Bodies
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.
You must obtain a Bulletin no earlier than six months before using this product. To obtain
Bulletins, consult http://www.epa.gov/espp/, call 1-844-447-3813, or email ESPP@epa.gov.
Aerial Application
• Do not apply within 50 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 50 feet, as applicable, per the
Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the area in which you are applying the product.
You must obtain a Bulletin no earlier than six months before using this product. To obtain
Bulletins, consult http://www.epa.gov/espp/, call 1-844-447-3813, or email ESPP@epa.gov.
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.
AGRICULTURAL USES
Make application to agricultural sites using a minimum of 30 (ground) or 5 (aerial) gallons of
water/A unless otherwise noted in the table directly below. When application rate range is given
use the higher rate under heavy pest pressure.
