below the mean high water mark. Runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to 
aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of 
equipment washwaters. 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. 
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS

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 and restricted-entry intervals. 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 48 hours. 
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

• Shoes plus socks 
• Protective eyewear 
• Chemical-resistant headaear for overhead exposure 
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, nurseries, or greenhouses. 
Keep children, pets, and other unprotected persons out of treated areas until sprays 
have dried. 
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL 
PROHIBITIONS: Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal. Do 
not store under conditions which might adversely affect the container or its ability to 
function properly. Open dumping is prohibited. 
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Do not store below temperature of 32 degrees F., as it may 
tend to crystallize. Avoid storage above 90 degrees F., as prolonged storage above 90 
degrees F. may cause some loss in grade. Store in safe manner. Store in original 
container only. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Reduce stacking height 
where local conditions can affect package strength. 
5

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are acutely hazardous. 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 at 
the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. 
CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or 
reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or incineration, or, if 
allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. 
DIRECTIONS 
Not for use or storage in or around the home. 
This product is intended for use by commercial growers, or commercial applicators in 
conventional hydraulic sprayers, ground applicators, or aerial sprayers. Do not apply 
when weather conditions favor drift of spray from treated areas. 
AIR APPLICATION: 
Use recommended amount in 2 to 10 gallons of water, unless otherwise noted. Apply at 
least 5 gallons finished spray per acre in California. Repeat applications as necessary 
unless otherwise specified. 
Automatic flagging devices should be used whenever feasible. If human flaggers are 
employed, they must wear the protective clothing and respirator specified on this label. 
Consult your State Experiment Station or State Extension Service for proper timing of 
applications. 
GROUND APPLICATION: 
Use recommended amount in sufficient water for thorough coverage, usually 25 to 50 
gallons per acre unless otherwise noted. 
COMPATIBILITY" 
Rebelate is compatible in spray tank mixes with most insecticides, miticides, and 
fungicides, provided they are not alkaline in reaction. Field experience indicates that 
Rebelate has been satisfactoril,¥ mixed with Sevin®, Diazinon®, Pydrin®, Guthion®, 
Malathion, parathion, Kelthane ,Cyprex®, Captan®, Zineb®, and Thiram®. Because 
uniform dispersibility and sprayability may be influenced by pesticide combinations 
used, it is recommended that compatibility be determined before adding pesticides to 
6

the spray tank. The addition of x-n® Spreader at recommended rates will usually 
eliminate any incompatibility noted. 
For proper mixing, spray tank should be at least three-quarters filled with water before 
adding Rebelate formulations. Mechanical agitation or recirculation through pump 
bypass to tank is usually sufficient for maintaining a good dispersion. 
Tank mixing must be done in accordance with the more (most) restrictive of label 
limitations and precautions for all products to be mixed. No label dosage rates should 
be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label 
prohibition against such mixing.
