ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product is toxic to wildlife and aquatic invertebrates. This product is highly toxic to bees and other pollinators exposed to direct treat-
ment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do not 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.

DIMETHOATE 400
EPA REG. NO. 34704-207
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 within 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 water from rainfall-runoff.
PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL HAZARDS
Combustible. Do not use or store the product near heat or open flame.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
This product is for use in commercial settings only. Use in residential settings is prohibited.
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 State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
High Pressure Handwand Equipment: When applications are made by high pressure handwand equipment, the maximum application rate
for all crops and use-patterns is 0.0025 pound active ingredient per gallon.
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 dam-
aged 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 layer near the ground surface.
4. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of increased spray
drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.
5. All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
6. For groundboom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
7. 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.
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.

DIMETHOATE 400
EPA REG. NO. 34704-207
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 or 90% of rotor blade diameter. Use upwind
swath displacement.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard con-
tains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricul-
tural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains spe-
cific 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).
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with any-
thing that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is:
•Coveralls over iong-sleeved shirt and long pants,
•Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material,
•Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks,
•Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure.
Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at entrances to treated area.
AERIAL APPLICATION: USE AUTOMATIC. FLAGGING DEVICES WHENEVER FEASIBLE.
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 drip (trickle) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irriga-
tion 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 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.
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 fertilizers unless prior use has shown the combination non-
injurious under your conditions of use.
Follow precautionary statements and directions for all tank-mixed products. i.
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: Love/and 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.

y'ITDIMETHOATE 400
EPA REG. NO. 34704-207
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 sys-
tems 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 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 injec-
tion 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 decreased 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 con-
structed 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 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 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.
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pres-
sure 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 con-
structed 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 valve, 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

Note: 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 peri-
od 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 15th 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 indi-
cated in the section for "Label Restrictions/Special Instruction." Both private and custom applicators shall mail to the Agriculture
Department's Phoenix office the original or each completed Form 1080 done in accordance with this label. Each Form 1080 shall be post-
marked not later than Monday following the week in which the application was made, except when holidays intervene.

Dimethoate 400 is effective in controlling many sucking, piercing and chewing insects, including aphids, leaf miners, leafhoppers, mites,
psyllids, scales and thrips 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.
SOIL INJECTION: For control of pests on any Ornamental species, a soil injection application can be used. (DO NOT APPLY THIS PROD-
UCT BY SOIL INJECTION IN CALIFORNIA).
Use a 1:2 dilution (1 part Dimethoate 400 to 2 parts water) for all soil injections. Inject 0.5 fluid ounce of dilution per inch of tree cir-
cumference (measure tree circumference at approximately 4 to 5 feet above ground level). Make injections within dripline of tree and into
root zone at a depth appropriate for root uptake of the species type and species growth stage to be treated.
Application can be made once per growing season or twice for difficult to control species such as ELM LEAF BEETLE. For control of Elm
leaf beetle, apply once shortly after trees leaf out, then follow with a second application 6 to 8 weeks later if necessary.

DIMETHOATE 400
EPA REG. NO. 34704-207
IMPORTANT: Use injection equipment capable of delivering metered dosage to a soil depth of at least 6 inches. Number of injections
should equal inches of tree circumference. Avoid direct injections into live root tissue. Water heavily after injection, at least 2 inches of
water is recommended.
Some species such as Honeysuckle, River birch, Ornamental cherry, and Plum (Prunus spp.), Hawthorne, Japanese lace maple, and
Aspens are more sensitive to Dimethoate 400 at early growth stages. Do not apply to sensitive species that have not been established for
at least 3 years. DO NOT USE ON BEARING FRUIT TREES.
Always wear full PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) as described on page 2 of this label for application, mixing, loading and handling
of Dimethoate 400. Chemical resistant headgear not necessary for soil injection.
DO NOT inject into soil areas where children or pets may dig or exhume treated soil. Do not make soil injections within 20 feet of edible
crop gardens.
Do not use on ornamental plants that are not listed on this label unless personal experience has shown Dimethoate 400 is not phytotox-
ic to your plants. A small test area should always be sprayed first before general use. Do not use on any ornamental stock plants grown
as a source of propagation material, such as cuttings, layers, root stocks or scions for grafting or budding. Do not use in spray mixtures
containing oil. Do not use on plants growing in greenhouses.
Restrictions: Herbaceous Ornamentals: Maximum application rate: 0.25 pound active ingredient per acre. Maximum total rate per year:
0.25 pound active ingredient per acre. The REI is 48 hours.
Woody Ornamentals and Christmas Trees Nurseries: Maximum application rate 1.0 pound active ingredient per acre, 14-day reappli-
cation interval. Maximum total rate per year: 3.0 pounds active ingredient per acre. When applications are made by high pressure hand
wand equipment, the maximum application rate for all crops and use patterns is 0.0025 pound active ingredient per gallon.The REI is 10
