TAKE 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 FARM PONDS.
Spray Drift Management
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is respon sible for 
considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
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 cont rol and 
coverage. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection.
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 fac tors, 
including droplet size, canopy and equipment specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Do not apply whe n winds 
are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. However, for applications of GAUCHO
® 550 SC Insecticide made in-
furrow or below soil-level, wind speed restrictions are not applicable. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be red uced by 
avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area.
Restrictions During Temperature Inversions
Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature inversions. 
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and mo ve 
laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are com mon 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. T heir 
presence can be indicated by ground fog; however if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of sm oke 
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) Specific Instructions for Tree Crops and Vineyards
Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air stream. Follow the fo llowing specific 
drift management practices:
• Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy;
• Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy;
• Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage;
• Do not allow the spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area (i.e., turn off sprayer when turning at end rows);
• Only spray inward, toward the orchard or vineyard, for applications to the outside rows.
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 where possible. If containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of 25 fee t 
between mixing and loading area and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads, sink-hol es, 
or field drains.
For Aerial Applications
Mount the spray boom on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length sho uld be 
used, and must not exceed 75% of the wing span or rotor diameter.
No-Spray Zone Requirements for Soil Applications
Do not apply within 25 feet, of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds; estuaries and commercia l fish 
farm ponds.
No-Spray Zone Requirements for Foliar Applications
Do not apply by ground within 25 feet, or by air within 150 feet of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or na tural 
ponds; estuaries and commercial fish farm ponds.
Runoff Management
Do not cultivate within 10 feet of the aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. When using GAUCHO 550 SC 
INSECTICIDE on erodible soils, employ the Best Management Practices for minimizing runoff. Consult your local Natural Resources 
Conservation Service for advice 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 membe r 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

5
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, use the product in 
conformance with resistance management strategies established for the use area. GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE contains a Group 
4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance to Group 4A insecticides may eventually dominate the inse ct 
population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted species.
The active ingredient in GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE is a member of the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests resistant to 
other chemical classes have not shown cross-resistance to GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE.
In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry in insect species with high resistance development potential, it is 
recommended that for each crop season: 1) if using a soil-applied program, only a single application of GAUCHO 550 SC 
INSECTICIDE be made with no additional foliar applications from Group 4A Insecticides; or, 2) if using a foliar-applied program , avoid 
using a block of more than three consecutive applications of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE or other Group 4A products having the 
same or similar mode of action. A foliar-applied Group 4A Insecticide program and a soil-applied Group 4A program should not be used 
during the same crop-season when targeting insect species with high resistance development potential.
Contact your Cooperative Extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product manufacturer for additional insect resista nce 
management recommendations. Also, for more information on Insect Resistance Management (IRM), visit the Insecticide Resistance 
Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://www.irac-online.org. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
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. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide 
regulation.
See individual crops for specific pollinator protection application restrictions. If none exist under 
the specific crop, for foliar applications, follow these application directions for crops that are 
contracted to have pollinator services or for food/feed & commercially grown ornamentals that are 
attractive to pollinators:

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard 
contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of 
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 (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) of 12 hours.
Exception: If the product is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows 
workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated.
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
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as, barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene rubber, 
natural rubber, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride (PVC) or viton
• Shoes plus socks
Application Directions (Soil)
Direct applications of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE into the seed or root-zone of crop. Failure to place GAUCHO 550 SC 
INSECTICIDE into root-zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. Apply GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE by grou nd 
application or chemigation application. For seedling flats or trays, only apply with broadcast, foliar applications or where pr oduct is 
intended to be washed from foliage to soil prior to drying on foliage.
Optimum activity of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier 
GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE is available to a developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE 
is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time and the systemic nature of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE allows 
movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the plant. This results in residual activity of GAUCHO 550 SC 
INSECTICIDE and the control of insects which may vector pathogens thereby reducing disease transmission or symptom expression, 
and the promotion of plant health benefits. The rate of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE applied affects the length of the plant 
protection period. Use the higher listed rates when infestations occur later in crop development, or where pest pressure is con tinuous. 
GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms or fruit. Additional crop protection may be 
required for insects feeding in, or on these plant parts and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests controlled sect ions of this 
label. Additional, specific GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE application rates are also provided in the crop-specific sections of this label.
Restrictions (Soil applications)
Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool or other soil-less media, or plants gro wing 
hydroponically.
Do not apply more than 0.5 lb active ingredient per acre, per year regardless of formulation or method of application, unless s pecified 
within a crop-specific section for a given crop.
Application Directions (Foliar)
Apply GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Apply specified rate per acre as 
a directed or broadcast spray to infested area at earliest threshold for target pest, as population begins to develop. Thorough uniform 
coverage of all plant parts is required to achieve optimum control. Scout fields and retreat if needed.
The lower rates can be used early season when pest pressures are low or when tank-mixing with other effective products register ed for 
target insect control. Degree of control or suppression of additional labeled pests will be determined, in part, by the stage o f pest 
development at application and infestation level of those pests. GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE provides optimal performance against 
early instar and early nymphal stages of insects as well as bollworm/budworm eggs. Applications made with less than 5 gallons p er 
acre may result in slower activity and/or less overall control from a single application than an application made with higher g allonages. 
Use an organosilicone-based spray adjuvant for applications targeting aphids and whiteflies for better control.
Suppression or less than complete control of certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding may also result from 
GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE applications. Complete control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures.
GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE is not intended for use on crops grown for production of true seed for private or commercial planting 
unless allowed under State specific 24(c) labeling. As with any insecticide, care must be taken to minimize exposure of GAUCHO 550 
SC INSECTICIDE to honey bees and other pollinators. Additional information on GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE uses for these crops 
and other questions may be obtained from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants or local Bayer CropScience 
representatives.
Make application only to plants grown in field-type soils, potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil 
medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool or other soil-less media, or plants growing hydroponically.

Pre-mix GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Keep GAUCHO 550 SC 
INSECTICIDE and water suspension agitated to avoid settling.
Additional Product Use information may be obtained by calling 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). 
Restrictions (Foliar applications)
Do not apply more than 0.5 lb active ingredient per acre, per year regardless of formulation or method of application, unless s pecified 
within a crop-specific section for a given crop.
Mixing Instructions
GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE is a suspension concentrate (flowable) formulation, shake well prior to measuring/mixing. The 
formulation is thixotropic and after sitting for a short time reverts to a gel or thick paste consistency helping to prevent phase separation 
common to most "flowables". After moderate shaking the formulation thins to a relatively non-viscous liquid which pours and measures 
easily with very few trapped air bubbles - another common problem of most flowables.
GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE has demonstrated easy mixing/blooming in water with varying degrees of hardness and temperature. 
GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE has demonstrated good mixing and compatibility with many fluid fertilizers without dilution with wate r. 
However, because fertilizers vary widely in quality and composition it is suggested that a jar test be performed (see Compatibi lity Note 
below) prior to full-scale mixing.
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water/fertilizer to the tank and with agitation add GAUCHO 
550 SC INSECTICIDE. Complete filling tank with balance of water/fertilizer needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mi xing and 
application. GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE may also be used with other pesticides. Please see Compatibility Note below . When 
tank mixtures of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as specified above and 
follow suggested Mixing Order below. 
Mixing Order
When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders or wettable granules first, GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE and other 
suspension concentrate (flowable) products second, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Ensure good agitation as each component is 
added. Do not add an additional component until the previous is thoroughly mixed. If a fertilizer solution is added or used as the diluent
, 
a fertilizer/pesticide compatibility agent may be needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to en sure 
uniformity of spray mixture.
Compatibility Information
Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE to the spray or mix tank. Add proportionate 
amounts of each ingredient in the appropriate order, to a pint or quart jar, cap, shake for 5 minutes, and let set for 5 minute s. Poor 
mixing or formation of precipitates that do not readily redisperse indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be used. F or further 
information, contact your local Bayer CropScience representative.
CHEMIGATION – DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Types of Irrigation Systems
Chemigation applications of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE may be made to crops through chemigation systems as specified in crop-
specific, Application sections.
Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration
The irrigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in 
the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified. 
If you have questions about calibration, contact Cooperative Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
Chemigation Monitoring
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.
Drift
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Required System Safety Devices
The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irri gation 
pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, auto matic, 
quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must a lso contain 
a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the sy stem 
interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manu ally 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 m otor 
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 ar e 
compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

8
Using Water from Public Water Systems
Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at l east 
15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. Chemig ation 
systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow 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 to 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. 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 supp ly tank 
when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking cont rols to 
automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops or in cases where there is no water pump, w hen 
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 comp atible 
with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

Notes
Increases in Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) incidence have been observed with applications of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE 
on multiple varieties of peanut. This may also be the case with other tospoviruses, or other viruses transmitted by various thrips 
species or perhaps, other pests. Prior to applying GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE to peanuts, Bayer CropScience recommends 
consultation with the State, Cooperative Extension Service, or Bayer CropScience representative, for recommendations. Growers 
are advised to weigh insect control benefits against potential increase in viral disease levels. In areas where TSWV or other 
tospovirus are endemic, growers are encouraged to use virus resistant varieties and consult the University of Georgia, Tomato 
spotted wilt virus index, before applying GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE.

Apply specified dosage in a minimum of 16 gallons of water for tomatoes and 21 gallons of water for cucumbers using soil drench es, 
micro-irrigation, drip irrigation, or hand-held or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment. Apply only to plants grown in field-type soils, 
potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool or other 
soil-less media, or plants growing hydroponically. Do not apply to immature plants since phytotoxicity may occur.
Apply when infestation pressure surpasses threshold and beneficials are not able to maintain pest populations below damage 
thresholds. Repellency of bumble bee pollinators and negative effects on some beneficials ( Orius sp.) can occur when GAUCHO 
550 SC INSECTICIDE is applied.
Many varieties of vegetables have been tested for tolerance to GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE and show good safety. However, 
certain varieties may show more sensitivity to GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE. Therefore, treatment of a few plants is 
recommended before treating the whole greenhouse.

Apply specified dosage in one of the following methods:
1. Chemigation into root-zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or equivalent equipment;
2. Basal, soil drench in a minimum of 30 milliliters (mLs) total solution per “citra pot”.
Use sufficient carrier volume to ensure thorough uniform distribution throughout the media without loss of gravitational water from the 
container. For optimal results, treatment should be made at planting/transplanting prior to insect infestation. Retreat if necessary but 
do not apply more than 3.0 mLs per plant per season. For control of larvae of the citrus root weevil complex, apply prior to neonate 
larvae entering potting media.
Application - For citrus production with other container volumes
Determine volume of container and calculate required dosage based on 0.50 mLs / 0.1 ft
3 potting media. Apply calculated dosage 
per container as described above. Do not exceed rate of 3.0 mLs / plant per crop season regardless of container size.

Citrus (Field) – Soil Applications
Apply specified dosage in one of the following methods:
1. Chemigation into root-zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or equivalent equipment. For optimum results, 
apply to newly planted trees or those previously trained to drip, trickle or micro-sprinkler irrigation. Soil must be lightly pre-
wetted to break soil surface tension prior to applications of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE. Chemigation application can be 
made separate to normal irrigation but followed by 10 to 20 minutes of additional watering to move GAUCHO 550 SC 
INSECTICIDE into root-zone. Allow 24 hours before initiating subsequent irrigations;
2. Band spray soil surface on both sides of the tree. Overlap bands at the tree base to create a continuous band within the drip -line 
area of the tree, to be followed immediately with light sprinkler irrigation sufficient to move the product into the upper portion of 
the root-zone. This method is suitable for very coarse soils with 0.75% organic matter or less;
3. Drench to base of tree not exceeding one-quart total solution per tree immediately around trunk of tree and extending outward 
covering the entire fibrous root system of the tree. For Florida citrus, only use this treatment method for trees up to 8 feet tall;
4. For control of existing termite infestations, apply specified dosage in 1 to 4 quarts of total solution volume, depending on size of 
tree, as a drench application to the basal portion of the tree trunk and surrounding soil in the immediate vicinity of the tree trunk.
5. For suppression of citrus nematode, apply specified dosage through low-pressure chemigation or soil surface band spray only, 
ensuring complete coverage of the root system and utilizing application directions stated above for the respective application 
method. Repeated and regular use of GAUCHO 550 SC INSECTICIDE over several consecutive growing seasons provides the 
greatest degree of nematode suppression and yields the greatest plant response.

Moisture content of cuttings/whips prior to application, the solution concentration and the length of soaking interval interact to affect 
the amount of product absorbed into plant material. For a constant soaking interval of 24 hours, drier cuttings/whips absorb a higher 
quantity of solution and require a lower concentration. Conversely, more hydrated cuttings/whips absorb less solution and require a 
higher concentration. Soaking of cuttings/whips should occur in a covered container in absence of UV light. Not all Populus sp. 
clones/varieties/hybrids have been tested for crop safety. Without specific knowledge about a particular Populus sp. 
clone/variety/hybrid, Bayer CropScience recommends that small numbers of cuttings/whips of each be treated and evaluated prior to
