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. 
Use care when applying in or to an area which is adjace nt to any body of water, and do not apply when weather 
conditions favor drift from target area. Poorly draining soils and soils with sh allow 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 within 48 hours. 
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. To protect the environment, do not 
allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage ditches, gutters or surface waters. 
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 visiting the treatment area. 
In citrus, stone fruit, pome fruit and tree nuts: Do not apply this product within 3 days prio r 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. 
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 
Users should: 
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. 
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. 
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as 
possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
 
AIRBLAST APPLICATIONS 
x Sprays must be directed into the canopy. 
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. 
x User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer row. 
x Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS 
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. 
x 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). 
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 mph at the application site. 
x Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
 
AERIAL APPLICATIONS - NON-ULV (Non-Ultra Low Volume) 
x 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. 
x Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets in accordance with American Society of 
Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard (ASABE S641). 
x If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of 
the field. When the windspeed is between 11-15 miles per hour, applicators must use a full 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 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. 
x 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 pressure. 
Wind Direction and Speed –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 – Spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with pest 
control and flight safety. Applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy should be avoided. 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.

Malathion 57 EC 
34704-108 
Page 6 of 22 
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. 
 
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; flood (basin); furrow; border; or dr ip (trickle) 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 nonuniform distribution of 
treated water. 
If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Serv ice specialists, equipment 
manufacturers or other experts. 
Do not connect an irrigation system 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 fertiliz ers unless prior use has shown the combination noninjurious 
under your conditions of use. 
Follow precautionary statements and directions for all tank-mixed 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. 
Chemigation Systems Connected To Public Water Systems 
Note: Loveland Products Inc. 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 system 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 at 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 preventer (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 
flow 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 in terlock to prevent fluid from being with- drawn 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.

Malathion 57 EC

Page 7 of 22 
Sprinkler Chemigation (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. 
The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve locat- ed 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 
interlock. 
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
Flood (Basin), Furrow And Border Chemigation (Soil Drench Uses) 
Systems using a gravity flow pesticide dispensing system must meter the pesticide into the water at the head of the field and 
downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity such as a drop structure or weir box to decrease potential for water source 
contamination from backflow if water flow stops. 
Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following requirements: 
a. The system must contain a functional check valv e, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain 
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. 
b. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of 
fluid back toward the injection pump. 
c. 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. 
d. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump 
when the water pump motor stops. 
e. 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. 
f. 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.

Resistance-Management Recommendations 
For resistance management, Malathion 57 EC contains a Group 1B insecticide/acaric ide. Any insect or mite 
population may contain individuals naturally resi stant to Malathion 57 EC 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: 
x Rotate the use of Malathion 57 EC or other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides within a growing season, 
and among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. 
x Avoid consecutive sprays of Malathion 57 EC or other insecticides in the 1B group during a season. 
x Do not apply more than the maximum number of sprays allowed. 
x 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 re ly on the same mixture repeatedly for the same pest 
population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues target pest(s ) 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 IR AC mode of action classification are not 
recommended for insect resistance management. 
o When using mixtures, consider any known cros s-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. 
 
x 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. 
x Monitor after application for unexpe cted target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the 
presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor. 
x 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. 
x For further information or to report suspected resi stance contact Loveland Products, Inc at 1-866-944-

Pollinator Best Management Practices and Additional Information 
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/po llinator-protection/find-best-management-practices-
protect-pollinators. 
 
Managed pollinator protection plans are developed by states/tribes to promote communication between 
growers, landowners, farmers, beek eepers, 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. 
 
How to Report Bee Kills. It is recommended that user s contact both the state le ad 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 Center’s website:
 http://npic.orst.edu/reg/state_agencies.html.
