ENVIRONMENTAL
HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to mammals, birds, fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, or 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 washwater or rinsate. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated 
areas. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding application when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 24 
hours. Rinsing application equipment over the treated area will help avoid runoff to water bodies or drainage systems. 
Do not apply to any impervious surfaces which may contact or lead directly to surface water, storm drains, or urban 
runoff conveyance systems (gutters). This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops 
or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds while bees are foraging the treatment 
area.
For fields to which applications of STEWARD insecticide will be made, construct a vegetative filter strip if one does not 
already exist. Existing and new filter strips must be, at a minimum, 10-foot-wide and composed of grass or other 
permanent vegetation between the field edge and down gradient aquatic habitat (such as, but not limited to, lakes; 
reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or natural ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish farm ponds). Vegetative 
filter strips must be maintained to optimize their utility. Only apply products containing indoxacarb onto fields where a 
maintained vegetative buffer strip of at least 10 feet exists between the field and down gradient aquatic habitat. 
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
STEWARD insecticide must be used 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.
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, wear:
Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants 
Socks plus chemical resistant footwear
Chemical Resistant Gloves (such as butyl rubber, natural rubber, neoprene rubber or nitrile rubber), all >14 mils.

CHEMIGATION: Refer to supplemental or Special Local Need (SLN) labeling for use directions for chemigation. Do 
not apply this product through any irrigation system unless the supplemental or SLN labeling on chemigation is followed. 
APPLICATION
Apply at the listed rates when insect populations reach locally determined economic thresholds. Consult the cooperative 
extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in 
your area. 
STEWARD insecticide applications should target eggs and small instar larvae. 
Follow-up treatments of STEWARD insecticide should be applied, as needed, to keep pest populations within threshold limits. Apply
STEWARD insecticide at 5 to 7 day intervals or as needed to manage specific target insect pests, as specified in the specific crop 
sections, to maintain control. 
Use sufficient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage. 
For aerial application, use a minimum of 3 gal/A of water (gpa) [minimum of 5 gal/A of water in Arizona and California]. For 
ground application, use a minimum of 5 gal/A of water. Higher gallonage will provide better coverage and performance.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
FMC supports the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an 
IPM program which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. IPM 
principles and practices include field scouting or other pest detection methods, correct target pest identification, population
monitoring, rotation of insecticides with different modes-of-action, and treating when target pest populations reach locally 
determined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants, product manufacturer 
or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site
systems in your area. 
SCOUTING
Monitor insect populations to determine whether or not there is a need for application of STEWARD insecticide based on label 
recommendations and locally determined economic thresholds. More than one treatment of STEWARD insecticide may be required 
to control a population of pests. 
INSECT RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, STEWARD insecticide contains the active ingredient indoxacarb which is a Mode of Action Group 22 
insecticide. Insecticides with the same group number affect the same biological site of action on the target pest and when used
repeatedly in the same treatment area, naturally-occurring resistant individuals may survive correctly applied insecticide 
treatments, reproduce, and become dominant. 
To delay the development of insecticide resistance, a resistance management strategy should include incorporation of cultural and 
biological control practices, alternation to different mode of action insecticides on succeeding generations, targeting the most
susceptible life stage, and where possible controlling multiple life stages of the same pest. 
Consult with your local or state agricultural authorities or product manufacturer, or visit the Insecticide Resistance Action 
Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://www.irac-online.org for more information about developing a resistance management 
strategy.
Unless directed otherwise in the specific crop/pest sections of this label or other STEWARD insecticide product labeling or use
instructions, follow these guidelines to delay the development of insecticide resistance:
x Apply STEWARD insecticide and other Group 22 insecticides within a single “treatment widow” to minimize exposing 
successive generations of a pest species to the same mode of action insecticides. 
x A “treatment window” is defined as the period of residual insecticidal activity provided by one or more applications of 
products with the same mode of action not to exceed approximately 30 days. 
x Within the Group 22 “treatment window”, make no more than 2 applications of STEWARD insecticide or other Group 22 
insecticides. 
x Following a Group 22 “treatment window”, rotate to a “treatment window” of effective insecticides with a different mode 
of Action Group Number. The period between Group 22 “treatment windows” should be at least 30 days. 
x For short cycle crops (< 50 days), the duration of the crop cycle may be considered as the Group 22 “treatment 
window” if no Group 22 insecticides are used during the next crop cycle at the same farm location. 
x If STEWARD insecticide is tank mixed with other insecticides, then apply rates that are individually registered for use against
the target species. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly to control the same pest species and follow the same “treatment 
window” rotation recommendation described above for the tank-mixed products.

4
x Use labeled rates of STEWARD insecticide when applied alone or in tank mixtures. 
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If insect resistance is suspected consult with your 
manufacturer’s representative, local university specialist, or certified pest control advisor. 

If resistance to STEWARD insecticide develops in your area other products with a similar mode of action (Mode of Action Group 
22) may not provide adequate control. 
BENEFICIAL ARTHROPODS
Other than reducing the target pest species as a food source, STEWARD insecticide helps conserve certain beneficial arthropods,
including parasitic wasps, predatory mites, big-eyed bugs, damsel bugs, minute pirate bugs, and spiders. While these beneficials
cannot be relied upon to control pests, they are of potential value and can be monitored along with pests in pest management 
programs on these crops. 
SPRAY PREPARATION 
Spray equipment must be clean and free of previous pesticide deposits before applying STEWARD insecticide. Fill spray 
tank 1/4 to 1/2 full of water. Add STEWARD insecticide directly to spray tank. Mix thoroughly to fully disperse the 
insecticide; once dispersed continued agitation is required. Use mechanical or hydraulic means; do not use air agitation. 
Spray mix must not be stored overnight in spray tank. Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and 
precautions of all products used in mixtures. 
Tank Mixing and Compatibility - Since formulations may be changed and new ones introduced, it is a best practice that 
users premix a small quantity of a desired tank mix and observe for possible physical incompatibility (settling out, 
flocculation, crystallization, etc.). This product can be tank mixed with pesticide products labeled for use on crops on this 
label in accordance with the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label application rates. 
This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. 
Spray volumes of less than 3 gal of water and tank mixtures of more than two products can increase the chances of 
incompatible spray mixtures. A jar test (as described below) should be conducted when label guidance is not given or prior 
experience with a specific tank mixture is unknown. The jar test should follow the mixing sequence below in water volume 
proportional to the planned spray tank water volume to assure that the tank mixture is compatible. Constant agitation may 
be needed during mixing and spraying of mixtures. STEWARD insecticide is compatible with most commonly used plant 
protectants.
Steps to conduct a jar test to determine physical tank mix compatibility of STEWARD insecticide with other products: 
- Add clean water to the jar in proportion to the planned water volume that will be used in the spray tank (a jar size of 16 
oz is acceptable). 
- While wearing the most restrictive PPE, mix proper proportional amounts of STEWARD insecticide and desired tank 
mix partner(s) as will be present in the spray tank. Add one product at a time following the sequence of addition 
according to formulation type provided in this label. 
- Seal and shake mixture after each product is added. 
- Allow to stand for 1 hour. 
- View jar to determine if settling, flocculation, crystallization or any other undesirable changes have happened. 
- If none of the above is observed or the solution can be easily remixed after shaking, the mixture is compatible with 
STEWARD insecticide. 
- If the tank mixture is not compatible, a higher water volume, reduced rate of the tank mix partner(s), reduced number of 
tank mix partners or a compatibility agent may be needed. 
Tank Mixtures and Crop Safety 
Crop varieties can differ in their responsiveness to tank mixtures, and environmental conditions can influence product 
performance and crop response. It is not possible to test STEWARD insecticide alone or with all possible tank mix 
combinations on all varieties under all environmental conditions. When considering the use of a tank mixture on a labeled crop 
without prior experience, or which is not specifically described on STEWARD insecticide product labeling or in other FMC 
product use instruction, it is important to check crop safety first. To test for crop safety prepare a small volume of the intended 
tank mixture, apply it to an area of the target crop as directed by both this and the tank mix partner product labels, and observe 
the treated crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response does not occur. 
Use of STEWARD insecticide in any tank mixture applications that is not specifically described on STEWARD insecticide 
product labeling or in other FMC product use instructions, could potentially result in crop injury. Follow the precautions on this 
label and on the label for any other product to be used in tank mixtures before making such applications to your crops. Follow the 
most restrictive label. FMC will not be responsible for any crop injury arising from the use of a tank mixture that is not 
specifically described on STEWARD insecticide product labeling or in other FMC product use instruction.

SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT 
Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, 
thoroughly clean all spray equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits which might become difficult to 
remove. 
Drain spray equipment. Thoroughly rinse sprayer and flush hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water. 
Clean all other associated application equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. Do not 
clean near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations. 
SPRAY DRIFT 
AERIAL APPLICATIONS 
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a 
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. 
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). 
x Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. 
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, 
the boom length must be 65% or less for fixed-wing aircraft and 75% or less for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom 
length must be 75% or less for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less for helicopters. 
x Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS 
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above 
the ground or crop canopy. 
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1). 
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. 
x Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
AIRBLAST APPLICATIONS 
x Sprays must be directed into the canopy. 
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. 
x User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer row. 
x Do not apply during temperature inversions. 
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES 
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITESPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON- 
TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. 
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE 
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest 
control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are 
made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. 
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom 
x Volume – Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the highest 
practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a 
higher flow rate. 
x Pressure – Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and 
droplet size. 
x Spray Nozzle – Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed 
to reduce drift. 
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft 
x Adjust Nozzles – Follow nozzle manufacturer recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce 
fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. 
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom

7
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. 
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft 
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. 
SHIELDED SPRAYERS 
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields 
are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. 
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY 
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. 
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing 
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an 
inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke 
generator. 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 air mixing. Avoid applications 
during temperature inversions. 
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND 
CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. 
AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST) FIELD CROP SPRAYERS 
Air assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the 
potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high drift potential can result.
It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, that it is 
configured properly, and that drift is not occurring. 
Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. 
Consult the application equipment section of this label to determine if use of an air assisted sprayer is recommended. 
CROP ROTATION 
Crops that are on this label and apple, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese broccoli, Chinese 
cabbage, Chinese mustard cabbage, kohlrabi, lettuce (head and leaf varieties), pear, pepper (bell and non-bell), potato,
