inspected frequently, particularly black·colored materials. Replace any material which is softened or swollen. Polyethylene. 
polypropylene, nylon. and Teflon materials are recommended. Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) materials are not recommended. 
MOCAP@ GEL ALONE: Always apply MOCAP® GEL in at least 10 gallons of water per acre (20 or more 
gallons per acre is recommended). Fill the spray tank 1/3 futl with clean water. Start the agitation system before adding the 
3

S/IS 
recommended number of MOCAp® GEL soluble paks. Drop the soluble paks into the tank, putting in no more than two paks per minute. 
Distribute the paks across the bottom of the tank, away from the sump. After adding the final paks to the tank, continue agitation while 
filling the spray tank to the required level. Agitate for one minute before starting to spray. Maintain sufficient agitation to ensure uniform 
spray mix during application. 
MOCAP® GEL TANK-MIXTURES: Always apply MOCAp® GEL in at least 10 gallons of water per acre (20 or 
more gallons per acre is recommended). Fill the spray tank 1/3 fuB with clean waler: Slart the agitation syslem before adding 
Ihe recommended number of MOCAP® GEL soluble paks. Drop tl)e soluble paks. into the tank, putting in no more than two paks per 
minute. Distribute the paks across the bottom of the tank, away from the sump.' After adding the final paks 10 the tank, continue 
agilation while filling the spray tank to the required level. Add the recommended amount of wettable powder, soluble powder, flowable, 
emulsifiable concentrate, or soluble liquid product to be tanked-mixed to the spray lank. Do not apply liquid fertilizer with 
MOCAP® GEL. Agitate for one minule before starting to spray. l'v1aintain sufficient agit?tion to ensure uniform spray mix during 
applicalion. . 
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS 
Do not allow the empty outer sleeve or the tear-~Irip to fall inlo I~e spray tank as they are not water soluble and may clog the 
sprayer. 
Do nol handle the inner pak with ~el gloves as the pak will begin 10 dillsolve on conlact with even a small amount of water. 
Do not open the inner paks or attempllo remove the gel from them. The gel is not deSigned 10 be re-measured or subdivided. The 
entire contents of the water soluble pak must be used: 
INCORPORATION STATEMENT 
MOCAP-" GEL can be incorporated with a rotary tiller, rotary hoe, spring-tooth harrow, by double-discing or with other equipmenl for 
... ~ixing Ihe c~emical wilh the soil to the recommended depth. Follow any specific incorporating instructions given under the crop 
.: "peadings. 
GROUND APPLICATION 
Use sufficient total spray volume to thoroughly and evenly cover the area to be treated. 
MOCAP~ GEL gel paks are intended to be used whole and may not be opened, split, or otherwise tampered with. Estimate use 
requirements to the closest number of paks without exceeding labeled use rate for crop. 
Suggested methods for determination of number of paks (6 pound active ingredient each) needed: 
Broadcast Applications 
Locale the broadcast rate or rate range under the specific crop to be treated. Determine exact rate to be used in pounds of active 
ingredient per acre. To calculate the number of paks. multiply Ihe number of acres to be treated by the desired pounds active to 
be used per acre and diVide the result by 6. 
Paks to use = (acres to be treated X rate per acre in pounds active) I 6 
If the result of your calculation includes a fraction. round 10 the nearest number of whole paks without exceeding the maximum 
allowed for the target crop. For example: If a desired treatment for cabbage is comprised of 27 acres at 5 pounds active per acre 
then the number of paks to use would be (27 X 5) I 6 or 22.5. Since the maximum rate ·allowed in cabbage is 5 pounds, round the 
resull down to 22 paks. 
Banded Applications 
) 
Use calculation table below. multiply by the acres to be treated, and round to nearest whole pak without exceeding the specified 
maximum rate for the crop. For example, to spray a 24 acre field with 36 inch row spacing at a rate of 3.3 fluid ounces per 1000 row 
feet would require 0.4 paks per acre. This multiplied by the field size (24 acres) would be 9.6 paks for the field. Rounding 10 the 
nearest pak without exceeding the desired rate results, in 9 paks.

REQUIREMENTS FOR IRRIGATION. SYSTEMS 
Apply this product only through sprinkler systems inclucjing: center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun. 
solid set. or hand move; or drip (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 non-uniform distribution of treated water.. 
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse syste·ms} used for pesticide applicailOn to a public water system unless the 
pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water sy§tems 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 treed arise. 
Wear personal protective equipment as defined in the PPE section for applicators and other handlers when making adjustments or 
repairs on the chemigation system when MOCAp® GEL is in the irrigation water. 
POSTING OF AREAS TO BE CHEMIGATED IS REQUIREO WHEN: 
1. Any part of a treated area is within 300 feet of sensitive are·as such 'as iesidential areas, labor ca'mps, businesses. day care centers, 
hospitals, in-patient clinics, nursing homes or any public areas su.ch as schools, parks, playgrounds, or other public facilities. 
2. When the chemigated area is open to the public, posting must conform to tt:te following requirements: Treated areas shall be posted 
with signs· at all usual points of entry and along likely routes of approach from the listed sensitive areas. When there are no usual 
points of entry. signs must be posted in the comers of the treated areas ,!nd in any other location affording maximum visibility to 
sensitive areas. The printed side of the sign should face away from the treated area toward the sensitive area. The signs shall be 
printed in English. Signs must be'posted prior to application and must remain posted until foliage has dried and soil surface water 
has disappeared. Signs may remain in place indefinitely as long as they are composed of materials to prevent deterioration and 
maintain legibility for the duration of the posting period: 
All words shall consist of letters at least 2 1/2 inches tall, and all letters and the symbol shall be a color which sharply contrasts with 
their immediate background. At the top of the sign shall be the words KEEP OUT. followed by an octagonal stop sign symbol at least 
8 inches in diameter containing the word STOP. Below the symbol shall be the words PESTICIDES IN IRRIGATION WATER. 
' .. ) 'This sign is in addition to any sign posted to comply with Worker Protection Standard. 
EQUIPMENT AND OPERATIONS REQUIREMENTS: 
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 
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. 
The chemical injection tank should be cleaned before application to remove all fertilizer. pesticide and other foreign matter. Add 
.. MOCAP'!) GEL paks as described in the instructions for mixing, loading. and handling. The MOCAP"" GEL water mixture in the injection 
) tank should be under constant agitation. Carefully Calibrate the system before and during application. The irrigation system should 
- provide uniform water flow and should have no leaks. 
For'sprinkler irrigation systems, the MOCAp® GEL water mixture should be injected continuously during water application in 7,000 to 
28,000 gallons of water per acre. 
SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS 
Where a range of rates is recommended, use the higher rate if pest infestations are expected to be severe. To determine your 
infestation level, consult local or state recommendations for sampling methods and economic threshOlds. Where both banded and 
broadcast applications are allowed. refer to the specific crop directions for the proper use of each application method. Use sufficient 
total spray volume for thorough and uniform application. To determine the number of water soluble paks to use for specific band rates 
and row widths see the calculation chart above.

CAUTION: Certain early-season environmental 
conditions and agronomic practices may impose 
stresses on the potato seed piece resulting in 
delayed emergence. Under these conditions. the 
application of MOCAp® GEL as a concentrated 
band directly in the. furrow may increase the 
potential for delayed emergence. 
To minimize the contribution of MOCAp·" GEL to 
this effect. apply so as to distribute the product in 
the soil surrounding the seed piece and avoid 
application directly into the seed furrow. 
For mocerate" to heavy" infestations of wireworms 
or nematodes use the broadcast application 
instead of band or sidedress. Wireworm 
infestations will be especially heavy' in potatoes 
planted following wireworm host crops such as (but 
not limited to) sod, grass for seed, pasture, cereal. 
corn, hay, alfalfa, beans, onions, potatoes. new 
ground, fallow ground (weedy or cultivated), or 
ground not farmed for a year or more. 
Broadcast: Apply uniformly and immediately 
incorporate 2 to 4 inches deep using suitable tillage 
equipment. Apply within 2 weeks before planting 
until prior to crop emergence. 
Broadcast Only: Apply· uniformly and 
immediately incorporate 2 to 4 inches (4 to 8 inches 
in the Columbia River Basin) deep using suitable 
tillage equipment. Apply within 2 weeks before 
planting until prior to crop emergence.

obtained with deep (6-8 inches), even 
incorporation. Apply within 2 weeks before 
planting. It is recommended that MOCAp® GEL be 
applied following fall or spring application of a 
registered fumigant nematicide. In the Columbia 
River Basin, it is strongly recommended that 
MOCAp® GEL be applied following fall or spring 
application of a registered fumigant nematicide. 
Under severe" infestation or long growing season 
conditions. MOCAp® GEL may not adequately 
protect tuber quality. 
Note: Use the broadcast application instead of band for control of moderate· to heavy· infestations of wireworms or nematodes. 
Do not make more than 1 application per crop. Do not make aerial applications. Do not exceed 12 pounds 
of active ingredient per acre per crop. Do not apply MOCAp® GEL once plants have begun to emerge. The 
Pacific Northwestpotato growing region is considered to include the states of Washington. Oregon, and Idaho. The Columbia River 
Basin is considered to include Umatilla and Morrow Counties of Oregon and Grant, Adams, Franklin, Benton. Yakima. and Walla Walla
