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 and pets off treated area until dry.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN MIXING AND APPLYING IN THE VICINITY
OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS,
MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, ESTUARIES AND COMMERCIAL FISH PONDS.
RUNOFF MANAGEMENT
DO NOT cultivate within 10 feet of the aquatic areas to allow growth of vegetative filter strip. When used on erodible soils,
use best management practices for minimizing runoff. Consult your local Natural Resources Conservation Service for
recommendations in your use area.
ENDANGERED SPECIES NOTICE
Under the Endangered Species Act, it is a Federal Offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of a
member of an endangered species. Consult your local county bulletin, County Extension Agent, or Pesticide State Lead
Agency for information concerning endangered species in your area.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Certain insects may develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. Use different resistance management practices
such as rotating classes of insecticides to help delay or minimize insect resistance.
For resistance management, this product contains a Group 4A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals
naturally resistant to the product and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect
population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance management
strategies should be followed.

To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons,
with different groups that control the same pests.
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides 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 individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the
following recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):

SUB-LABEL A: NURSERY, GREENHOUSE, and LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTALS, TURF (Wettable Powder- WP)

8

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 when both
insecticides are active.
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes scouting, uses historical information
related to pesticide use, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
x 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.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified pest control 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 resistance contact a Nufarm representative at 1-800-345-3330.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is
responsible for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility
of the applicator.
Mixing and Loading Requirements
To avoid potential contamination of groundwater, use a properly designed and maintained containment pad for mixing and
loading of any pesticide into application equipment. If containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of 25 feet
between mixing and loading areas and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads,
sinkholes, or field drains.
Importance of Droplet Size
An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small droplets (<150-200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large
droplets. Within typical equipment specifications, make applications to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides
sufficient control and coverage. 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.
Release the spray at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight safety. DO NOT make
applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy.
Wind Speed Restrictions
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However,
many factors, including droplet size, canopy and equipment specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed.
DO NOT apply when winds are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. Risk of exposure to sensitive
aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
Restrictions During Temperature Inversions
Because the potential for spray drift is high during temperature inversions, DO NOT make ground applications during
temperature inversions. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to
remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to
form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however if fog is
not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source. 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 mixing.

Airblast (Air Assist)
Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air stream. Follow the
specified drift management practices:
x Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy;
x Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy;
x Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage;
x DO NOT allow the spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area (i.e. turn off sprayer when turning at end
rows);
x Only spray inward, toward the orchard or vineyard, for applications to the outside rows.
No-Spray Zone Requirements for Foliar Applications
DO NOT apply by ground within 25 feet lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds, estuaries
and commercial fish farm ponds.
USE INFORMATION
Thorough uniform coverage is necessary to achieve optimal control. A spray adjuvant may be used to improve coverage.
This product may not knockdown established and heavy insect populations. Two applications may be required to achieve
control; retreat if needed and as directed on this label. Tank mix this product with other insecticides as specified for
knockdown of pests or for improved control of other pests.
USE RESTRICTIONS (All Uses)
x DO NOT make a foliar application of any chloronicotinyl insecticide for resistance management purposes following
a soil application of this product on the same crop.
x DO NOT use this product on commercial sod farms.
x DO NOT allow livestock to graze in treated areas or use clippings from treated areas for feed or forage unless
specified otherwise on this label.
x DO NOT apply this product to soils that are waterlogged or saturated.
x DO NOT allow runoff or puddling of irrigation water following application.
x DO NOT allow leachate to run off for the first 10 days after application or reduced efficacy may result.
x DO NOT exceed the total 8.6 oz of this product (0.4 lbs AI) / Acre per year specified for the uses indicated on this
label.
ROTATION CROPS RESTRICTIONS
Crops which are listed on imidacloprid labels or crops that have existing tolerances for imidacloprid may be planted in
treated areas as soon as practical after the last imidacloprid application. Crop that are not found on an imidacloprid label,

PREPARATION OF TANK MIXES
This product is a wettable powder formulation that contains imidacloprid, a systemic insecticide and readily dissolves in
water.
How to Prepare Spray Solutions
1. Fill the spray tank with 1/4 to 1/3 of the required amount of clear water and begin agitation.
2. Add the specified amount of this product. Allow this product to be mixed thoroughly to provide a uniform spray
solution
3. Fill the tank with the remaining water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during mixing and application.
If this product is to be tank-mixed with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions, check the compatibility (refer to the Ta nk
Mix Compatibility section below) before adding to the spray tank. Use the following order of addition:
1. MALLET 75 WP INSECTICIDE
2. Other wettable powders or wettable granules
3. Flowables or suspension concentrates
4. Emulsifiable concentrates
Run agitator as each component is added. Add the next component only after the previous one is thoroughly mixed. Add
the remaining quantity of water as the final step. To ensure a uniform spray mixture, maintain constant agitation during both
mixing and application.
Tank Mix Compatibility
This product has been found to be compatible with commonly used liquid fertilizers, fungicides and insecticides. Before
preparing tank mixtures with this product, especially if compatibility is not known, carry out the following small jar test using
the desired tank mix partners.
1. Add proportionate amount of each component in the appropriate order to a pint or a quart jar;
2. Replace the cap, shake for 5 minutes, and allow the mixture to settle for 5 minutes.
3. Observe the jar for signs indicating an incompatible mixture. If the contents can be re-mixed by shaking and readily
re-suspends, it is considered compatible. If the mixture separates out, foams, or forms a gel or lumps, then the
mixture is not compatible.

APPLICATION THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS (CHEMIGATION)
Apply this product at rates specified on this label either alone or in tank mixture with other pesticides and chemicals
registered for application through irrigation systems. The normal dilution ratio is 1:10 to 1:200, depending on the system.
Always meter the product into the irrigation water during the first part of the irrigation cycle. Mix the product separately prior
to injection. Agitate as necessary if the mixture is allowed to stand more than 24 hours.
x 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.
x Apply this product only through micro-irrigation (individual spaghetti tube), drip irrigation, overhead irrigation, and
ebb and flood or hand-held or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment. DO NOT apply this product through
any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution
of treated water.
x Be sure to remove scale, pesticide residue and other foreign matter from the tank and entire irrigation system prior
to application.
x A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or a person who is under the
supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the
need arise.
x If you have any questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers
or other experts.
SAFETY DEVICES FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES:
If the source of water for your irrigation system is a public water supply, follow the instructions below.
1. 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.
2. 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.

SUB-LABEL A: NURSERY, GREENHOUSE, and LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTALS, TURF (Wettable Powder- WP)

11

As an option to the RPZ, 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.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. 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 interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply
tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

SAFETY DEVICES FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS NOT CONNECTED TO A PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY:
1. 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.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
fluid back toward the injection pump.
3. 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.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the
water pump motor stops.
5. 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 the pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
6. 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.
7. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Check calibration periodically to ensure that equipment is working properly.
Make applications prior to egg hatch of the target pests, followed by sufficient irrigation or rainfall to move the active
ingredient through the thatch. Apply this product in sufficient water to provide adequate distribution in the treated area.
Rainfall or irrigation must occur within 24 hours of application to move this product vertically through the thatch and into
the soil.
Wait until after sufficient rainfall or irrigation has occurred to mow the grass.

APPLICATION TO LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTALS
Use this product as directed below on ornamentals in and around commercial and residential landscapes and interior
plantscapes to control or suppress listed insects.
This is a systemic product and will be translocated upward into the plant system from root uptake. Plants absorb this product
from either foliar or soil applications. Apply this product to areas where the growing portion of the target plant can absorb
the active ingredient. The addition of a nitrogen containing fertilizer, where applicable, into the solution has been shown to
enhance the uptake of the active ingredient. Application can be made by foliar application or soil applications; including soil
injection, drenches, and broadcast sprays. Foliar applications offer locally systemic activity against insect pests.

Woody Perennials: When making soil applications to plants with woody stems, systemic activity will be delayed until the
active ingredient is translocated throughout the plant. In some cases, this translocation delay could take 60 days or longer.
For this reason, applications must be made prior to anticipated pest infestation to achieve control.
Bark Media: Treatments of this product to media with 30 - 50% or more bark content may confer a shorter period of
protection.
Ant Management Programs: Use this product to control aphids, scale insects, mealybugs and other sucking pests on
ornamentals to limit the honeydew available as a food source for ant populations. Applications can then be supplemented
with residual sprays, bait placements or other ant control tactics to further reduce the pest population.

EBB & FLOOD APPLICATIONS
This product may be applied through Ebb and Flood applications to Ornamental and Vegetable Plants (intended for
resale only) grown in containers. To assure accurate uptake, prior to treatment, bring a minimum of 10 plants up to a
known field capacity and allow to dry out for one or two days. Re-wet these plants to determine how much water on
average each plant will absorb to bring it back at field capacity. Use the volume absorbed per plant (keeping pot sizes
uniform) multiplied by the number of pots being treated. Add to this volume a required minimum to flood your smallest
treatment area. This will minimize the return back to the storage tank. Re-use the returned volume with subsequent
irrigation or nutrients on the same plants.

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 and pets off treated area until dry.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN MIXING AND APPLYING IN THE VICINITY
OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS,
MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, ESTUARIES AND COMMERCIAL FISH PONDS.
RUNOFF MANAGEMENT
DO NOT cultivate within 10 feet of the aquatic areas to allow growth of vegetative filter strip. When used on erodible soils,
use best management practices for minimizing runoff. Consult your local Natural Resources Conservation Service for
recommendations in your use area.
ENDANGERED SPECIES NOTICE
Under the Endangered Species Act, it is a Federal Offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of a
member of an endangered species. Consult your local county bulletin, County Extension Agent, or Pesticide State Lead
Agency for information concerning endangered species in your area.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Certain insects may develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. Use different resistance management practices
such as rotating classes of insecticides to help delay or minimize insect resistance.
For resistance management, this product contains a Group 4A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals
naturally resistant to the product and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect
population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance management
strategies should be followed.

To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
x Rotate the use of this product or other Group 4A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons,
with different groups that control the same pests.

SUB-LABEL B: NURSERY, GREENHOUSE, and LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTALS, TURF (Water Soluble Packaging- WSP)

33

x Use tank mixtures with insecticides 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 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 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 when both
insecticides are active.
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes scouting, uses historical information
related to pesticide use, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
x 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.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified pest control 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 resistance contact a Nufarm representative at 1-800-345-3330.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is
responsible for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility
of the applicator.
Mixing and Loading Requirements
To avoid potential contamination of groundwater, use a properly designed and maintained containment pad for mixing and
loading of any pesticide into application equipment. If containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of 25
feet between mixing and loading areas and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well
heads, sinkholes, or field drains.
Importance of Droplet Size
An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small droplets (<150-200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large
droplets. Within typical equipment specifications, make applications to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides
sufficient control and coverage. 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.
Release the spray at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight safety. DO NOT make
applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy.
Wind Speed Restrictions
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However,
many factors, including droplet size, canopy and equipment specifications determine drift potential at any given wind
speed. DO NOT apply when winds are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. Risk of exposure to
sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
Restrictions During Temperature Inversions
Because the potential for spray drift is high during temperature inversions, DO NOT make ground applications during
temperature inversions. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to
remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by
increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin
to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however if
fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source. 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 mixing.

Airblast (Air Assist)
Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air stream. Follow the
specified drift management practices:
x Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy;
x Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy;
x Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage;
x DO NOT allow the spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area (i.e. turn off sprayer when turning at end
rows);
x Only spray inward, toward the orchard or vineyard, for applications to the outside rows.

No-Spray Zone Requirements for Foliar Applications
DO NOT apply by ground within 25 feet lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds, estuaries
and commercial fish farm ponds.

PREPARATION OF TANK MIXES
Instructions for Using Water Soluble Packages Directly into Spray tanks:
Water Soluble Packages (WSPs) are designed to dissolve in water. Agitation may be used, if necessary, to help dissolve
the WSP. Failure to follow handling and mixing instructions can increase your exposure to the pesticide products in WSPs.
WSPs, when used properly, qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard
[40 CFR 170.607(d)].

Handling Instructions
Follow these steps when handling pesticide products in WSPs.
1. Mix in spray tank only.
2. Handle WSP(s) in a manner that protects package from breakage and/or unintended release of contents. If package
is broken, put on PPE required for clean-up and then continue with mixing instructions.
3. Keep the WSP(s) in outer packaging until just before use.
4. Keep the WSP dry prior to adding to the spray tank.
5. Handle with dry gloves and according to the label instructions for PPE.
6. Keep WSP intact. Do not cut or puncture WSP.
7. Reseal the WSP outer packaging to protect any unused WSP(s).
Mixing Instructions
Follow the steps below when mixing this product, including if tank mixed with other pesticide products. If being tank mixed,
the mixing directions 1 through 9 below take precedence over the mixing directions of the other tank mix products. WSPs
may, in some cases, be mixed with other pesticide products so long as the directions for use of all mixed products do not
conflict. Do not tank mix this product with products that prohibit tank mixing or have conflicting mixing directions.
1. If a basket or strainer is present in the tank hatch, remove prior to adding the WSP to the tank.
2. Fill tank with water to approximately one-third to one-half of the desired final volume of spray.
3. Stop adding water and stop any agitation.
4. Place intact/unopened WSP(s) into the tank.
5. Do not spray water from a hose or fill pipe to break or dissolve the WSP(s).
6. Start mechanical and recirculation agitation from the bottom of tank without using any overhead circulation, if
possible. If overhead recirculation cannot be turned off, close the hatch before starting agitation.
7. Dissolving the WSP(s) may take up to 5 minutes or longer, depending on water temperature, water hardness and
intensity of agitation.
8. Stop agitation before tank lid is opened.
9. Open the lid to the tank, exercising caution to avoid contact with dusts or spray mix, to verify that the WSPs have
fully dissolved and the contents have been thoroughly mixed into the solution.
10. Do not add other allowed products or complete filling the tank until the bags have fully dissolved and pesticide is
thoroughly mixed.
11. Once the WSP have fully dissolved and any other products have been added to the tank, resume filling the tank
with water to the desired level, close the tank lid, and resume agitation.
12. Use the spray solution when mixing is complete.
13. Maintain agitation of the diluted pesticide mix during transportation and application.
14. It is unlawful to use any registered pesticide, including WSPs, in a manner inconsistent with its label.
If this product is to be tank-mixed with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions, check the compatibility (refer to the
Compatibility section below) before preparing tank mixes.
To prepare tank-mixes of this product with other pesticides, use the following order of mixing:
1. MALLET 75 WSP INSECTICIDE PVA packets;
2. Other wettable powders or wettable granules;
3. Flowables or suspension concentrates;
4. Emulsifiable concentrates.
Agitate the solution as each component is added. Add the next component only after the previous one is thoroughly mixed.
If needed, add a compatibility agent when adding a fertilizer solution to the mix. Add the remaining quantity of water as the
final step. To ensure a uniform spray mixture, maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application.
Compatibility PVA packets that are tank-mixed with products that contain boron or that release free chlorine will react to
form a plastic that is insoluble in water or solvents such as alcohol, kerosene, diesel oils or gasoline. Further information is
available from your local Nufarm representative. Conduct the following test for compatibility of the intended tank mix partner
product(s) before adding this product to the spray or mix tank:

SUB-LABEL B: NURSERY, GREENHOUSE, and LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTALS, TURF (Water Soluble Packaging- WSP)

36

1. In a pint or quart jar, add proportionate amounts of each tank mix component in the order provided in the directions
above.
2. Replace the cap, shake for 5 minutes, and allow the mixture to settle for 5 minutes.
3. Observe the jar for signs indicating an incompatible mixture. If the contents can be re-mixed by shaking and readily
re-suspends, it is considered compatible. If the mixture separates out, foams, or forms a gel or lumps, then the
mixture is not compatible.
APPLICATION THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS (CHEMIGATION)
Apply this product at rates specified on this label either alone or in tank mixture with other pesticides and chemicals
registered for application through irrigation systems. The normal dilution ratio is 1:10 to 1:200, depending on the system.
Always meter the product into the irrigation water during the first part of the irrigation cycle. Mix the product separately prior
to injection. Agitate as necessary if the mixture is allowed to stand more than 24 hours.
x 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.
x Apply this product only through micro-irrigation (individual spaghetti tube), drip irrigation, overhead irrigation, and
ebb and flood or hand-held or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment. DO NOT apply this product through
any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution
of treated water.
x Be sure to remove scale, pesticide residue and other foreign matter from the tank and entire irrigation system prior
to application.
x A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or a person who is under the
supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the
need arise.
x If you have any questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers
or other experts.
SAFETY DEVICES FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES:
If the source of water for your irrigation system is a public water supply, follow the instructions below.
1. 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.
2. 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, 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.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. 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 interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply
tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

SAFETY DEVICES FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS NOT CONNECTED TO A PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY:
1. 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.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
fluid back toward the injection pump.

SUB-LABEL B: NURSERY, GREENHOUSE, and LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTALS, TURF (Water Soluble Packaging- WSP)

37

3. 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.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the
water pump motor stops.
5. 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 the pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
6. 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.
7. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Application Instructions
The use of accurately calibrated equipment normally used for the application of turfgrass insecticides is required. Use
equipment which will produce a uniform, coarse droplet spray, using a low pressure setting to eliminate off target drift.
Check calibration periodically to ensure that equipment is working properly.
Make applications prior to egg hatch of the target pests, followed by sufficient irrigation or rainfall to move the active
ingredient through the thatch. Apply this product in sufficient water to provide adequate distribution in the treated area.
Rainfall or irrigation must occur within 24 hours of application to move this product vertically through the thatch and into
the soil.
Wait until after sufficient rainfall or irrigation has occurred to mow the grass.
Annual Bluegrass weevil, Billbugs, European Crane Fly, and Grubs: For best results, make applications before egg
hatch.
1Mole Crickets: Make applications before or during the peak egg hatching period. this product may be applied with a
curative insecticide when adults or large nymphs are present and actively tunneling,
2Chinchbugs: Make applications before hatching of first instar nymphs.
Restrictions
DO NOT apply more than 5.375 packets (8.6 oz). (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre per year.
DO NOT make applications when turfgrass areas are waterlogged or the soil is saturated with water. Adequate
distribution of the active ingredient cannot be achieved when these conditions exist. The treated turf area must be in such
a condition that the rainfall or irrigation will penetrate vertically in the soil profile.

DO NOT allow children or pets to enter treated areas until sprays have dried.
DO NOT allow this product to contact plants in bloom if bees are foraging the treatment area.
DO NOT graze treated areas or use clippings from treated areas for feed or forage.
DO NOT allow runoff or puddling of irrigation water following application.
DO NOT use for seed production.

APPLICATION TO LANDSCAPE ORNAMENTALS
Use this product as directed below on ornamentals in and around commercial and residential landscapes and interior
plantscapes to control or suppress listed insects.
This is a systemic product and will be translocated upward into the plant system from root uptake. Plants absorb this product
from either foliar or soil applications. Apply this product to areas where the growing portion of the target plant can absorb
the active ingredient. The addition of a nitrogen containing fertilizer, where applicable, into the solution has been shown to
enhance the uptake of the active ingredient. Application can be made by foliar application or soil applications; including soil
injection, drenches, and broadcast sprays. Foliar applications offer locally systemic activity against insect pests.
Woody Perennials: When making soil applications to plants with woody stems, systemic activity will be delayed until the
active ingredient is translocated throughout the plant. In some cases, this translocation delay could take 60 days or longer.
For this reason, applications must be made prior to anticipated pest infestation to achieve control.
Bark Media: Treatments of this product to media with 30 - 50% or more bark content may confer a shorter period of
protection.
Ant Management Programs: Use this product to control aphids, scale insects, mealybugs and other sucking pests on
ornamentals to limit the honeydew available as a food source for ant populations. Applications can then be supplemented
with residual sprays, bait placements or other ant control tactics to further reduce the pest population.

EXAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
Example 1 (to calculate the standard rate): If you have three trees having DBH of 8, 10 & 16 inches, the total
cumulative inches of trunk diameter is 34 inches (8 + 10 + 16 = 34)
34/48 = .708 x 1.6 fl. oz (1 packet) = 1.13 oz -OR- 34/24 = 1.417 x 1.6 fl. oz. (1 packet) = 2.27 oz
If you have a single tree with a DBH of 12 inches, the lower rate range will be:
12/48 = 0.25 x 1.6 oz (1 packet) = 0.4 oz -OR- 12/24 = 0.5 x 1.6 oz (1 packet) = 0.8 oz
Example 2 (To calculate the higher rate): If you have three trees having DBH of 15, 20 & 25 inches, the total cumulative
inches of trunk diameter is 60 inches (15 + 20 + 25 = 60)
60/23 = .2.6 x 1.6 fl. oz (1 packet) = 4.17 oz -OR- 60/12 = 5 x 1.6 fl. oz. (1 packet) = 8 oz
If you have a single tree with a DBH of 30 inches, the higher rate range will be:
30/23 = 1.3 x 1.6 oz (1 packet) = 2.08 oz -OR- 30/12 = 2.5 x 1.6 oz (1 packet) = 4.0 oz

APPLICATION TO GRASSY AREAS IN NURSERIES, NURSERY, AND GREENHOUSE GROWN
ORNAMENTALS
Use this product on grassy areas in nurseries, around and on nursery grown ornamentals, and in planting rows in nurseries
to control listed pests. Make application prior to anticipated pest infestation to maximize control. Rainfall, irrigation and
mechanical incorporation after application will aid in maximizing control.
The active ingredient in this product has sufficient residual activity so that applications can be made preceding the egg
laying activity of the target pests. High levels of control can be achieved when applications are made preceding or during the
egg laying period. The need for an application can be based on historical monitoring of the site, previous records or
experiences, current season adult trapping or other methods.

Application Instructions
Apply this product in sufficient water to provide adequate distribution in the treated area. The use of accurately calibrated
equipment normally used for soil application of insecticides is required. Use equipment that will produce a uniform, coarse
droplet spray, using a low pressure setting to eliminate off-target drift. Check calibration periodically to ensure that
equipment is working properly.
For control of grubs, billbugs, European crane fly and annual bluegrass weevil, make application prior to egg hatch of
the target pest.
For control of mole crickets make application prior to or during the peak egg hatch period. When adults or large nymphs
are present and actively tunneling, this product should be accompanied by a curative insecticide.
For suppression of chinchbugs, make application prior to the hatching of the first instar nymphs.
Consult your local State Agricultural Experiment Station, or State Extension Turf Specialists for more specific information
regarding timing of application.
Mowing of the vegetation in the area to be treated to a height of 3 inches or less prior to application will improve the
consistency of control.

Use the following rates as a function of tree
diameter at breast height (DBH):
Apply 1 packet (1.6 oz) per 12 – 48 inches
of trunk diameter (DBH).
You may only use the higher rate on trees
>15 inches (DBH) to control:
Asian longhorned beetle, Emerald ash borer,
Eucalyptus longhorned borer, Bronze birch
borer, and Alder borer.
To calculate the higher rates, divide trunk
diameter by 12 – 23 inches. Refer to example
calculations below.
RESTRICTION: DO NOT apply more than
5.375 packets (8.6 oz) (0.4 lb AI) per acre per

in a grid pattern, extending to the drip line of the tree. CIRCLE SYSTEM:
Apply in holes evenly spaced in circles, (use more than one circle
dependent upon the size of the tree) beneath the drip line of the tree
extending in from that line. BASAL SYSTEM: Space injection holes evenly
around the base of the tree trunk no more than 6 to 12 inches out from the
base.
Mix required dosage in sufficient water to inject an equal amount of solution
in each hole. Maintain a low pressure and use sufficient solution for
distribution of the liquid into the treatment zone. Keep the treated area
moist for 7 to 10 days.
DO NOT use less than 4 holes per tree.
NEW YORK SPECIFIC RESTRICTION: No Soil Injection Applications
Allowed in Nassau or Suffolk Counties of New York.
Soil Drench: Uniformly apply the dosage in no less than 10 gallons of
water per 1,000 square feet as a drench around the base of the tree,
directed to the root zone. Remove plastic or any other barrier that will stop
solution from reaching the root zone.
For Control of Specified Borers:
Application to trees already heavily infested may not prevent the eventual
loss of the trees due to existing pest damage and tree stress.
EXAMPLE CALCULATIONS:
Example 1 (to calculate the standard rate): If you have three trees having DBH of 8, 10 & 16 inches, the total
cumulative inches of trunk diameter is 34 inches (8 + 10 + 16 = 34)
34/48 = 0.708 x 1.6 fl. oz (1 packet) = 1.13 oz -OR- 34/24 = 1.417 x 1.6 fl. oz. (1 packet) = 2.27 oz
If you have a single tree with a DBH of 12 inches, the lower rate range will be:
12/48 = 0.25 x 1.6 oz (1 packet) = 0.4 oz -OR- 12/24 = 0.5 x 1.6 oz (1 packet) = 0.8 oz
Example 2 (To calculate the higher rate): If you have three trees having DBH of 15, 20 & 25 inches, the total cumulative
inches of trunk diameter is 60 inches (15 + 20 + 25 = 60)
60/23 = .2.6 x 1.6 fl. oz (1 packet) = 4.17 oz -OR- 60/12 = 5 x 1.6 fl. oz. (1 packet) = 8 oz
If you have a single tree with a DBH of 30 inches, the higher rate range will be:
30/23 = 1.3 x 1.6 oz (1 packet) = 2.08 oz -OR- 30/12 = 2.5 x 1.6 oz (1 packet) = 4.0 oz

SHRUBS
1 packet (1.6 oz)
per 24 – 48 feet
cumulative shrub height
Soil Injection: Apply to individual plants using dosage indicated.
Mix required dosage in sufficient water to inject an equal amount of solution
in each hole. Maintain a low pressure and use sufficient solution for
distribution of the liquid into the treatment zone. Keep the treated area
moist for 7 to 10 days. DO NOT use less than 4 holes per shrub.
NEW YORK SPECIFIC RESTRICTION: No Soil Injection Applications
Allowed in Nassau or Suffolk Counties of New York.
Soil Drench: Uniformly apply the dosage in no less than 10 gallons of
water per 1,000 square feet as a drench around the base of the tree,
directed to the root zone. Remove plastic or any other barrier that will stop
solution from reaching the root zone.
