|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL
|
||
HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to mammals, birds, fish and aquatic invertebrates. 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. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated
|
||
areas. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding application when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 24
|
||
hours. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid runoff to water bodies or drainage systems.
|
||
Do not apply to any impervious surfaces which may contact or lead directly to surface water, storm drains, or urban
|
||
runoff conveyance systems (gutters). This product 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 foraging the treatment
|
||
area.
|
||
For fields to which applications of STEWARD insecticide will be made, construct a vegetative filter strip if one does not
|
||
already exist. Existing and new filter strips must be, at a minimum, 10-foot-wide and composed of grass or other
|
||
permanent vegetation between the field edge and down gradient aquatic habitat (such as, but not limited to, lakes;
|
||
reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or natural ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish farm ponds). Vegetative
|
||
filter strips must be maintained to optimize their utility. Only apply products containing indoxacarb onto fields where a
|
||
maintained vegetative buffer strip of at least 10 feet exists between the field and down gradient aquatic habitat.
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
STEWARD insecticide must be used 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.
|
||
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, wear:
|
||
Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants
|
||
Socks plus chemical resistant footwear
|
||
Chemical Resistant Gloves (such as butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene rubber or nitrile rubber), all >14 mils.
|
||

|
||
CHEMIGATION: Refer to supplemental or Special Local Need (SLN) labeling for use directions for chemigation. Do
|
||
not apply this product through any irrigation system unless the supplemental or SLN labeling on chemigation is followed.
|
||
APPLICATION
|
||
Apply at the listed rates when insect populations reach locally determined economic thresholds. Consult the cooperative
|
||
extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in
|
||
your area.
|
||
STEWARD insecticide applications should target eggs and small instar larvae.
|
||
Follow-up treatments of STEWARD insecticide should be applied, as needed, to keep pest populations within threshold limits. Apply
|
||
STEWARD insecticide at 5 to 7 day intervals or as needed to manage specific target insect pests, as specified in the specific crop
|
||
sections, to maintain control.
|
||
Use sufficient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage.
|
||
For aerial application, use a minimum of 3 gal/A of water (gpa) [minimum of 5 gal/A of water in Arizona and California]. For
|
||
ground application, use a minimum of 5 gal/A of water. Higher gallonage will provide better coverage and performance.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
|
||
FMC supports the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an
|
||
IPM program which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM
|
||
principles and practices include field scouting or other pest detection methods, correct target pest identification, population
|
||
monitoring, rotation of insecticides with different modes-of-action, and treating when target pest populations reach locally
|
||
determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants, product manufacturer
|
||
or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site
|
||
systems in your area.
|
||
SCOUTING
|
||
Monitor insect populations to determine whether or not there is a need for application of STEWARD insecticide based on label
|
||
recommendations and locally determined economic thresholds. More than one treatment of STEWARD insecticide may be required
|
||
to control a population of pests.
|
||
INSECT RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, STEWARD insecticide contains the active ingredient indoxacarb which is a Mode of Action Group 22
|
||
insecticide. Insecticides with the same group number affect the same biological site of action on the target pest and when used
|
||
repeatedly in the same treatment area, naturally-occurring resistant individuals may survive correctly applied insecticide
|
||
treatments, reproduce, and become dominant.
|
||
To delay the development of insecticide resistance, a resistance management strategy should include incorporation of cultural and
|
||
biological control practices, alternation to different mode of action insecticides on succeeding generations, targeting the most
|
||
susceptible life stage, and where possible controlling multiple life stages of the same pest.
|
||
Consult with your local or state agricultural authorities or product manufacturer, or visit the Insecticide Resistance Action
|
||
Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://www.irac-online.org for more information about developing a resistance management
|
||
strategy.
|
||
Unless directed otherwise in the specific crop/pest sections of this label or other STEWARD insecticide product labeling or use
|
||
instructions, follow these guidelines to delay the development of insecticide resistance:
|
||
x Apply STEWARD insecticide and other Group 22 insecticides within a single “treatment widow” to minimize exposing
|
||
successive generations of a pest species to the same mode of action insecticides.
|
||
x A “treatment window” is defined as the period of residual insecticidal activity provided by one or more applications of
|
||
products with the same mode of action not to exceed approximately 30 days.
|
||
x Within the Group 22 “treatment window”, make no more than 2 applications of STEWARD insecticide or other Group 22
|
||
insecticides.
|
||
x Following a Group 22 “treatment window”, rotate to a “treatment window” of effective insecticides with a different mode
|
||
of Action Group Number. The period between Group 22 “treatment windows” should be at least 30 days.
|
||
x For short cycle crops (< 50 days), the duration of the crop cycle may be considered as the Group 22 “treatment
|
||
window” if no Group 22 insecticides are used during the next crop cycle at the same farm location.
|
||
x If STEWARD insecticide is tank mixed with other insecticides, then apply rates that are individually registered for use against
|
||
the target species. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly to control the same pest species and follow the same “treatment
|
||
window” rotation recommendation described above for the tank-mixed products.
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
x Use labeled rates of STEWARD insecticide when applied alone or in tank mixtures.
|
||
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If insect resistance is suspected consult with your
|
||
manufacturer’s representative, local university specialist, or certified pest control advisor.
|
||
|
||
If resistance to STEWARD insecticide develops in your area other products with a similar mode of action (Mode of Action Group
|
||
22) may not provide adequate control.
|
||
BENEFICIAL ARTHROPODS
|
||
Other than reducing the target pest species as a food source, STEWARD insecticide helps conserve certain beneficial arthropods,
|
||
including parasitic wasps, predatory mites, big-eyed bugs, damsel bugs, minute pirate bugs, and spiders. While these beneficials
|
||
cannot be relied upon to control pests, they are of potential value and can be monitored along with pests in pest management
|
||
programs on these crops.
|
||
SPRAY PREPARATION
|
||
Spray equipment must be clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before applying STEWARD insecticide. Fill spray
|
||
tank 1/4 to 1/2 full of water. Add STEWARD insecticide directly to spray tank. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse the
|
||
insecticide; once dispersed continued agitation is required. Use mechanical or hydraulic means; do not use air agitation.
|
||
Spray mix must not be stored overnight in spray tank. Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and
|
||
precautions of all products used in mixtures.
|
||
Tank Mixing and Compatibility - Since formulations may be changed and new ones introduced, it is a best practice that
|
||
users premix a small quantity of a desired tank mix and observe for possible physical incompatibility (settling out,
|
||
flocculation, crystallization, etc.). This product can be tank mixed with pesticide products labeled for use on crops on this
|
||
label in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label application rates.
|
||
This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing.
|
||
Spray volumes of less than 3 gal of water and tank mixtures of more than two products can increase the chances of
|
||
incompatible spray mixtures. A jar test (as described below) should be conducted when label guidance is not given or prior
|
||
experience with a specific tank mixture is unknown. The jar test should follow the mixing sequence below in water volume
|
||
proportional to the planned spray tank water volume to assure that the tank mixture is compatible. Constant agitation may
|
||
be needed during mixing and spraying of mixtures. STEWARD insecticide is compatible with most commonly used plant
|
||
protectants.
|
||
Steps to conduct a jar test to determine physical tank mix compatibility of STEWARD insecticide with other products:
|
||
- Add clean water to the jar in proportion to the planned water volume that will be used in the spray tank (a jar size of 16
|
||
oz is acceptable).
|
||
- While wearing the most restrictive PPE, mix proper proportional amounts of STEWARD insecticide and desired tank
|
||
mix partner(s) as will be present in the spray tank. Add one product at a time following the sequence of addition
|
||
according to formulation type provided in this label.
|
||
- Seal and shake mixture after each product is added.
|
||
- Allow to stand for 1 hour.
|
||
- View jar to determine if settling, flocculation, crystallization or any other undesirable changes have happened.
|
||
- If none of the above is observed or the solution can be easily remixed after shaking, the mixture is compatible with
|
||
STEWARD insecticide.
|
||
- If the tank mixture is not compatible, a higher water volume, reduced rate of the tank mix partner(s), reduced number of
|
||
tank mix partners or a compatibility agent may be needed.
|
||
Tank Mixtures and Crop Safety
|
||
Crop varieties can differ in their responsiveness to tank mixtures, and environmental conditions can influence product
|
||
performance and crop response. It is not possible to test STEWARD insecticide alone or with all possible tank mix
|
||
combinations on all varieties under all environmental conditions. When considering the use of a tank mixture on a labeled crop
|
||
without prior experience, or which is not specifically described on STEWARD insecticide product labeling or in other FMC
|
||
product use instruction, it is important to check crop safety first. To test for crop safety prepare a small volume of the intended
|
||
tank mixture, apply it to an area of the target crop as directed by both this and the tank mix partner product labels, and observe
|
||
the treated crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response does not occur.
|
||
Use of STEWARD insecticide in any tank mixture applications that is not specifically described on STEWARD insecticide
|
||
product labeling or in other FMC product use instructions, could potentially result in crop injury. Follow the precautions on this
|
||
label and on the label for any other product to be used in tank mixtures before making such applications to your crops. Follow the
|
||
most restrictive label. FMC will not be responsible for any crop injury arising from the use of a tank mixture that is not
|
||
specifically described on STEWARD insecticide product labeling or in other FMC product use instruction.

SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT
|
||
Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application,
|
||
thoroughly clean all spray equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits which might become difficult to
|
||
remove.
|
||
Drain spray equipment. Thoroughly rinse sprayer and flush hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water.
|
||
Clean all other associated application equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. Do not
|
||
clean near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||

|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a
|
||
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph,
|
||
the boom length must be 65% or less for fixed-wing aircraft and 75% or less for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom
|
||
length must be 75% or less for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less for helicopters.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS
|
||
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above
|

|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITESPRAY 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
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Pressure – Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
|
||
droplet size.
|
||
x Spray Nozzle – Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed
|
||
to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
x Adjust Nozzles – Follow nozzle manufacturer recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce
|
||
fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
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.
|
||
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 limited 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.
|
||
AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST) FIELD CROP SPRAYERS
|
||
Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the
|
||
potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high drift potential can result.
|
||
It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, that it is
|
||
configured properly, and that drift is not occurring.
|
||
Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration.
|
||
Consult the application equipment section of this label to determine if use of an air assisted sprayer is recommended.
