NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
Note to Physician: Probable mucosal damage may contraindicate the use of gastric lavage. Contains petroleum
distillate - Vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia. This product is a pyrethroid. If large amounts have been
ingested, the stomach and intestine should be evacuated. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive. Digestible
fats, oils, or alcohol may increase absorption and so should be avoided. Early signs of intoxication include
mydriasis (dilated pupils), ataxia (unsteadiness), and muscle tremors. Toxicity following accidental ingestion of
Duro LQ can be minimized by promptly administering activated charcoal. If toxicity from exposure has progressed
to cause severe vomiting, the extent of resultant fluid and electrolyte imbalance should be gauged. Appropriate
supportive parenteral fluid replacement therapy should be given, along with other required supportive measures
(such as maintenance of blood pressure level s and respiratory functionality) as indicated by clinical signs,
symptoms, and measurements. In severe cases, observations should continue for at least several days until clinical
condition is stable and normal. Since abamectin is believed to enhance GABA activity in animals, it is probably
wise to avoid drugs that enhance GABA activity (barbiturates, benzodiazepines, valproic acid) in patients with
potentially toxic abamectin exposure.

User Safety Requirements
Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use
detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Discard clothing and other absorbent materials that have been drenched or heavily contaminated with this products
concentrate. Do not reuse them.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
• Users should remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash body thoroughly and put
on clean clothing.
• Users should r emove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before
removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is extremely toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates and toxic to wildlife. Use of this product may pose
a risk to threatened and endangered species of fish, amphibians, crustaceans (including fresh water shrimp), and
insects.
Use with care when applying in areas adjacent to any body of water. Do not apply directly to water, 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 wash water or rinsate. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid
run off to water bodies or drainage systems.
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. To protect the environment, do not allow
pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage diches, gutters or surface waters. This is especially true for
poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having a medium potential for
reaching both surface water and aquatic sediment via runoff for several weeks to months after application.
Runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Applying this product when
rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help ensure that rain does not wash pesticide off the treatment area.
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 visiting the treatment area.
In New York State this product may not be applied within 100 feet (using ground equipment) of coastal marshes or
streams that drain into coastal marshes.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
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.
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, please note that Duro LQ contains both a Group 3A insecticide and Group 6
insecticide/nematicide. Any insect/nematode population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Duro LQ and
other Group 3A or Group 6 insecticides/ nematicides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect/ nematode
population if these insecticides/nematicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-
management strategies should be followed.
To delay target pest resistance, take the following steps:
• Rotate the use of Duro LQ or other Group 3A and Group 6 insecticides/nematicides within a growing
season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
• Use tank mixtures with insecticides/ nematicides 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 indi vidual
Page 4 of 9
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 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/nematicide 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 AMVAC at 1-888-462-6822 or at
www.AMVAC.com.

CROP USE INFORMATION
Duro LQ is a liquid soil insecticide for use on field corn and popcorn at planting for the control of corn rootworm
larvae and seed attacking pests, and early season protection from moderate or variable corn nematode populations.
VEGETATIVE FILTER STRIPS
Construct and maintain a vegetative filter strip, according to the width specified below, of grass or other permanent
vegetation between the field edge and nearby down gradient aquatic habitat (such as, but not limited to, lakes;
reservoirs; rivers; streams; marshes or natural ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish farm ponds).
Only apply products containing bifenthrin onto fields where a maintained vegetative filter strip of at least 25 feet
exists between the field edge and where a down gradient aquatic habitat exists. This minimum required width of 25
feet may be reduced or removed under the following conditions:
Page 5 of 9
For Western irrigated agriculture, a maintained vegetative filter strip of at least 10 feet wide is required. Western
irrigated agriculture is defined as irrigated farmland in the following states: WA, OR, CA, ID, NV, UT, AZ, MT, WY, CO,
NM, and TX (west of I-35).
For Western irrigated agriculture, if a sediment control basin is present, a vegetative filter strip is not required.
In all other areas, a vegetative filter strip with a minimum width of 25 feet is required, unless the following conditions
are met. The vegetative filter strip requirement may be reduced from 25 feet to 15 feet if at least one of the following
applies:
• The area of application is considered prime farmland (as defined in 7 CFR § 657.5).
• Conservation tillage is being implemented on the area of application. Conservation tillage is defined as any
system that leaves at least 30% of the soil surface covered by residue after planting. Conservation tillage
practices can include mulch-till, no-till, or strip-till.
• A functional terrace system is maintained on the area of application.
• Water and sediment control basins for the area of application are functional and maintained.
• The area of application is less than or equal to 10 acres.
For further guidance on vegetated filter strips, refer to the following publication for information on constructing and
maintaining effective buffers: Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses. Natural Resources Conservation
Services. https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=EPA-HQ-OPP-2008-0331-0175
RUNOFF PREVENTION
To protect the environment, do not allow pesticide to enter or run off into storm drains, drainage diches, gutters or
surface waters. Applying this product in calm weather when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help
ensure that wind or rain does not blow or wash pesticide off the treatment area. Rinsing application equipment over
the treated area will help avoid run off to water bodies or drainage systems.

Application and Mixing Instructions
Duro LQ contains 2.1 pounds of bifenthrin and 0.35 pounds of abamectin per gallon. The rate of application depends
on field history, anticipated pest pressure and scouting done in the prior cropping season. Use lower labeled rates
under lighter pest pressure, and higher labeled rates under moderate to high pest pressure. In fields where corn
rootworm larval damage has been significant in prior years and is expected to be moderate or higher in the current
cropping season, use the maximum label rate of Duro LQ.
At Planting In-Furrow Treatment
Apply Duro LQ at planting time as an in-furrow treatment ONLY for control of corn rootworm larvae, corn nematodes
and other seed attacking pests. DO NOT apply using any other placement, including T-band and banded applications.
Liquid in-furrow applications are to be applied into the open seed furrow at planting, through a microtube or spray
nozzle directed into the seed furrow, behind the planter furrow openers and in front of the closing wheels such that
product is completely covered with soil.
Dilute Application Directions:
Liquid in -furrow applications are recommended using water or liquid starter fertilizer as a carrier in a minimum
application volume of 3 gallons per acre . Apply Duro LQ in a volume of water or liquid fertilizer which will ensure
uniform placement in the furrow for best control of soil pests. When mixing in water or liquid fertilizer, fill the tank
one-third to one-half of water or liquid fertilizer before adding Duro LQ to tank. Begin tank agitation if available and
then add remaining amount of water or liquid fertilizer to the tank. Maintain agitation until the mixture has been
applied.
Tank-Mixing with Liquid Fertilizers:
Duro LQ can be mixed with commonly used l iquid starters or pop-up fertilizers which are allowed to be applied in -
furrow at planting. Read and follow liquid fertilizer recommendations regarding seed safety and use guidelines. It is
advisable to conduct a preliminary jar test using the appropriate ratio of liquid fertilizer and Duro LQ at rates to be
applied. If planting delays occur and a tank mixture sits for 48 hours or longer, examine mixture and provide tank
agitation if needed prior to resuming application.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Pesticide Storage : Do not store near heat or open flame.
Keep out of reach of children and animals. Store in original containers only. Store in a cool, dry place and avoid excess
heat. Carefully open containers. After partial use, replace lids and close tightly. Do not put concentrate or dilute
material into food or drink containers. Do not contaminate other pesticides, fertilizers, water, food or feed by storage
or disposal.
In case of spill, avoid contact, isolate area and keep out animals and unprotected persons. Confine spills. Call
Chemtrec: 1-800-424-9300
To confine spill: Dike surrounding area or absorb with sand, cat litter or commercial clay. Place damaged package in
a holding container. Identify contents.
Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a
violation of Federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use according to label instructions, contact your
State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative of the nearest EPA Regional
Office for guidance.
Container Handling:
