|
||
Precautionary Statements
|
||
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
|
||
CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin.
|
||
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
|
||
before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or
|
||
using the toilet. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid con-
|
||
tact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing spray mist.
|
||
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before use.
|
||
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
|
||
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
|
||
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
|
||
• Shoes plus socks
|
||
User Safety Requirements
|
||
Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining
|
||
PPE. If no such instructions exist for washables, use deter-
|
||
gent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from
|
||
other laundry.
|
||
Environmental Hazards
|
||
This pesticide is toxic to 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 apply when weather conditions favor drift
|
||
from treated areas. Drift and runoff from treated areas may
|
||
be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to
|
||
treated areas. DO NOT dispose equipment washwaters or
|
||
rinsate into a natural drain or water body.
|
||
This product is toxic to honey bees. The persistence of
|
||
residues and potential residual toxicity of dinotefuran in
|
||
nectar and pollen suggests the possibility of chronic toxic
|
||
risk to honey bee larvae and the eventual instability of the
|
||
hive.
|
||
• This product is toxic to bees exposed to residue for more
|
||
than 38 hours following treatment.
|
||
• DO NOT apply this product to blooming, pollen-
|
||
shedding or nectar-producing parts of plants if bees may
|
||
forage on the plants during this time period, unless the
|
||
application is made in response to a public health
|
||
emergency declared by appropriate state or federal
|
||
authorities.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory
|
||
Dinotefuran and its degradate, MNG, have the properties
|
||
and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
|
||
groundwater. The high water solubility of dinotefuran, and
|
||
its degradate MNG, coupled with its very high mobility, and
|
||
resistance to biodegradation indicates that this compound
|
||
has a strong potential to leach to the subsurface under
|
||
certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this
|
||
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater
|
||
contamination. Periodic monitoring of shallow groundwater
|
||
in the use area is recommended.
|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
Users should:
|
||
• Wash hands with soap and water before eating, drink-
|
||
ing, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
|
||
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside.
|
||
Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
|
||
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product.
|
||
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon
|
||
as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
|
||
clothing.
|
||

Application Information
|
||
Failure to follow directions and precautions on this label
|
||
may result in crop injury, poor insect control, and/or illegal
|
||
residues.
|
||
Certador
|
||
® insecticide (henceforth referred to as Certador)
|
||
is a selective insecticide which should have minimal impact
|
||
on beneficial arthropods and its use is compatible with inte-
|
||
grated pest management (IPM) programs. However,
|
||
Certador is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or to
|
||
residue on blooming crops and weeds.
|
||
Certador is taken up into foliage after application.
|
||
Thorough spray coverage is essential for optimal perform-
|
||
ance. Apply Certador in sufficient water to ensure good
|
||
coverage.
|
||

|
||
posal or cleaning of equipment.
|
||
Pesticide Storage
|
||
Protect from direct sunlight. Store in cool, dark, and well-
|
||
ventilated area. Keep container tightly closed.
|
||
Pesticide Disposal
|
||
Pesticide wastes may be hazardous. Improper disposal of
|
||
excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of
|
||
federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use
|
||
according to label instructions, contact your State
|
||
Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the
|
||
Hazardous Waste representative of the nearest EPA
|
||
Regional Office for guidance.
|
||
Container Handling
|
||
Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this
|
||
container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or
|
||
equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recy-
|
||
cling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or
|
||
puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by inciner-
|
||
ation, or by other procedures approved by state and local
|
||
authorities.
|
||
Triple rinse containers small enough to shake
|
||
(capacity ≤ 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining
|
||
contents into application equipment or a mix tank and
|
||
drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the
|
||
container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 sec-
|
||
onds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix
|
||
tank, or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for
|
||
10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this pro-
|
||
cedure two more times.
|
||
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued)
|
||
Container Handling (continued)
|
||
Triple rinse containers too large to shake
|
||
(capacity > 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining
|
||
contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the
|
||
container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten clo-
|
||
sures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth,
|
||
ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds.
|
||
Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth
|
||
several times. Turn the container over onto its other end
|
||
and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate
|
||
into application equipment or a mix tank, or store rinsate
|
||
for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more
|
||
times.
|
||
Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining
|
||
contents into application equipment or mix tank and con-
|
||
tinue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.
|
||
Hold container upside down over application equipment
|
||
or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal.
|
||
Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the container
|
||
and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain
|
||
for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.
|
||
|
||
Certador® insecticide may aid in the suppression of
|
||
some pests. Suppression can mean either inconsistent
|
||
control (good to poor), or consistent control at a level
|
||
below that generally considered acceptable for commercial
|
||
control.
|
||
If the maximum season limit of Certador as stated in
|
||
Table 1. Restrictions and Limitations Overview and
|
||
Table 2. Crop-specific Application Instructions has
|
||
been applied and pest populations require additional treat-
|
||
ments, use another registered pesticide that is not in the
|
||
neonicotinoid class or nitroguanidine subclass of
|
||
chemistry.
|
||
Resistance Management Recommendations
|
||
Certador contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect bio-
|
||
types with acquired resistance to Group 4A insecticide
|
||
may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A
|
||
insecticides are used repeatedly in the same field or in suc-
|
||
cessive years as the primary method of control for targeted
|
||
species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of
|
||
those species by Certador or other Group 4A insecti-
|
||
cides.
|
||
To delay insecticide resistance, consider:
|
||
• NOT using a foliar application of dinotefuran or any
|
||
insecticide in the neonicotinoid class following an
|
||
in-furrow or soil application of Certador.
|
||
• To optimize resistance management practices, no more
|
||
than 3 applications of Certador per growing season are
|
||
allowed.
|
||
• Avoiding the consecutive use of Certador or other
|
||
Group 4A insecticides that have a similar target site of
|
||
action, on the same insect species.
|
||
• Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a
|
||
different target site of action Group as long as the
|
||
involved products are all registered for the same use and
|
||
have different sites of action.
|
||
• Basing insecticide use on a comprehensive IPM program.
|
||
• Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field
|
||
efficacy.
|
||
• Consult your local extension specialist, crop advisor
|
||
and/or BASF representative for additional IPM Strategies
|
||
established for your area.
|
||
Mixing Instructions
|
||
Certador Alone
|
||
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
|
||
With the agitator running, add the desired amount of
|
||
Certador to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the
|
||
remainder of the water. Begin solution application after
|
||
Certador has completely dispersed into the mix water.
|
||
Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
|
||
Certador + Tank Mixture
|
||
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
|
||
Start the agitator running before adding any tank mix part-
|
||
ners. Add tank mix partners in this order: products
|
||
packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders,
|
||
wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquids,
|
||
emulsifiable concentrates, and surfactants/adjuvants.
|
||
Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dis-
|
||
persed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient
|
||
agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain
|
||
agitation until all the mixture has been applied.
|
||
NOTE: When using Certador in tank mixtures, all products
|
||
in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank
|
||
before any other tank mix partner, including Certador. Allow
|
||
the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the
|
||
product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other
|
||
tank mix partner to the tank.
|
||
If using Certador in a tank mixture, observe all directions
|
||
for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions,
|
||
and limitations that appear on the tank mix product label.
|
||
No label dosage rate should be exceeded, and the most
|
||
restrictive label precautions and limitations should be fol-
|
||
lowed. This product should not be mixed with any product
|
||
that prohibits such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applica-
|
||
tions of products referenced on this label are permitted
|
||
only in those states in which the referenced products are
|
||
labeled.
|
||
Compatibility
|
||
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops has
|
||
not been tested. Before applying any tank mixture not
|
||
specifically recommended on this label, the safety to the
|
||
target crop should be confirmed.
|
||
Certador is compatible with most commonly used pesti-
|
||
cides. However, since it is not possible to test all possible
|
||
mixtures, the user should pre-test to assure the physical
|
||
compatibility and lack of phytotoxic effect of any proposed
|
||
mixtures with Certador. To determine the physical com-
|
||
patibility of Certador with other products, use a jar test, as
|
||
described below:
|
||
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the
|
||
products to 1 quart of water. Add wettable powders and
|
||
water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flow-
|
||
ables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly
|
||
mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination
|
||
remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically
|
||
compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the
|
||
same procedure for additional required ingredients to the
|
||
spray tank.
|
||
Application Procedures And Spray Equipment
|
||
Apply Certador when insect pest populations begin to
|
||
build, but before populations reach economically damaging
|
||
levels. Economic thresholds for pests controlled by
|
||
Certador may be available from your local agricultural
|
||
authorities.
|
||
Ground Application
|
||
Select spray nozzles which will provide accurate and uni-
|
||
form spray deposition. Use spray nozzles which provide
|
||
medium-sized droplets and reduce drift. To help ensure
|
||
accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For
|
||
information on spray equipment and calibration, consult
|
||
5
|
||
|
||
nozzle manufacturers and/or state extension service
|
||
specialists.
|
||
Apply Certador® insecticide using sufficient water volume
|
||
to provide thorough and uniform coverage. In situations
|
||
where a dense canopy exists and/or pest pressure is high,
|
||
use greater water volumes. The use of a spray adjuvant
|
||
may improve spray coverage. Avoid making applications
|
||
under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be
|
||
obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
|
||
Aerial Application
|
||
Apply Certador in water, using the minimum spray volume
|
||
indicated in the Application Instructions section of each
|
||
crop, but not less than 3 gallons/A. Increase spray volume
|
||
where practical to improve coverage. Avoid making appli-
|
||
cations under conditions where uniform coverage cannot
|
||
be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.
|
||
Application Through Irrigation Systems
|
||
(Chemigation)
|
||
Certador, alone or in combination with other products
|
||
which are registered for application through sprinkler irriga-
|
||
tion, may be applied through irrigation systems where so
|
||
noted in the soil application of each crop. Certador may
|
||
be applied through microirrigation (individual spaghetti
|
||
tube), overhead irrigation, motorized calibrated irrigation
|
||
equipment, drip irrigation, or trickle irrigation where so
|
||
noted in the soil application of each crop, but must NOT be
|
||
applied through only any other type of irrigation system.
|
||
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide
|
||
residues in the crop can result from non -uniform distribu-
|
||
tion of treated water.
|
||
If you have questions about calibration, contact state
|
||
extension service specialists, equipment manufacturers or
|
||
other experts. DO NOT connect an irrigation system used
|
||
for pesticide application to a public water system unless
|
||
the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public
|
||
water systems 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 need arise.
|
||
Using Water from Public Water Systems
|
||
DO NOT apply Certador through any irrigation system
|
||
physically connected to a public water system.
|
||
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 at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days per
|
||
year. Certador may be applied through irrigation systems
|
||
which may be supplied by a public water system only if the
|
||
water from the public water system is discharged into a
|
||
reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be
|
||
a complete break (air gap) between the outer 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. Before begin-
|
||
ning chemigation always make sure that the air gap exists
|
||
and that there is no blockage of the overflow of the reser-
|
||
voir tank.
|
||
Any irrigation system using water supplied from a public
|
||
water system must also meet the following Operating
|
||
Instructions for All Recommended Types of Irrigation
|
||
Systems requirements.
|
||
Operating Instructions for All Recommended Types
|
||
of Irrigation Systems
|
||
• The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the
|
||
rates specified. If you have questions about calibration,
|
||
contact state extension service specialists, equipment
|
||
manufacturers, or other experts.
|
||
• The system must contain a functional check valve, vacu-
|
||
um relief valve and low pressure drain appropriately
|
||
located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source
|
||
contamination from back flow.
|
||
• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a func-
|
||
tional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent
|
||
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a func-
|
||
tional, 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 with-
|
||
drawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is
|
||
either automatically or manually shut down.
|
||
• The system must contain functional inter-locking controls
|
||
to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
|
||
when the water pump motor stops.
|
||
• The irrigation line or water pump must include a function-
|
||
al 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.
|
||
Calibration and Application Instructions
|
||
Apply Certador under the schedule specified in the specif-
|
||
ic crop use recommendations, not according to the
|
||
irrigation schedule unless the events coincide. In general,
|
||
set the equipment to apply the minimum amount of water
|
||
per acre. Run the system at 86 to 90% of the manufactur-
|
||
er’s maximum rated travel speed.
|
||
The following calibration and application techniques are
|
||
provided for user reference, but DO NOT constitute a war-
|
||
ranty of fitness for application through sprinkler irrigation
|
||
equipment. Check with state and local regulatory agencies
|
||
for potential use restrictions before applying any agricultural
|
||
chemical through sprinkler irrigation equipment.
|
||

|
||
|
||
Drip or Trickle Irrigation Equipment
|
||
1. Determine the acreage covered by the irrigation
|
||
equipment.
|
||
2. Fill injector solution tank with plain water and calibrate
|
||
the flow rate of the system to deliver the contents of the
|
||
tank over a 20 to 40 minute time interval.
|
||
3. Determine the amount of Certador
|
||
® insecticide
|
||
required to treat the area covered by the irrigation
|
||
system.
|
||
4. Add the required amount of Certador, and any other
|
||
tank mix partners, into the same quantity of water used
|
||
to calibrate the injection period. (See “Mixing
|
||
Instructions” section of this label.)
|
||
5. Operate the system at the same pressure and time inter-
|
||
val established during the calibration.
|
||
6. Inject specified amount of Certador per acre for either a
|
||
20 to 40 minute period at the end of a regular irrigation
|
||
set, or as a 20 to 40 minute injection as a separate
|
||
application not associated with a regular irrigation to
|
||
maximize retention of the insecticide by the foliage.
|
||
7. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed.
|
||
Continue to operate the system until the Certador solu-
|
||
tion has cleared the last sprinkler head. To ensure lines
|
||
are flushed and free from remaining pesticides, a dye
|
||
indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end
|
||
of the application period.
|
||
Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
|
||
Use only drive systems that provide uniform water distribu-
|
||
tion. DO NOT use end guns when chemigating Certador
|
||
through center pivot systems because of non-uniform
|
||
application. Plug the first nozzle closest to the well head to
|
||
protect the water source.
|
||
1. Determine the size of the area to be treated.
|
||
2. Determine the time required to apply 0.1 to 0.25 inches
|
||
of water over the area to be treated when the system
|
||
and injection equipment are operated at normal pres-
|
||
sures as recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
|
||
Run the system at 80 to 95% of the manufacturer’s
|
||
rated maximum travel speed.
|
||
3. Using water, determine the injection pump output when
|
||
operated at normal line pressure.
|
||
4. Determine the amount of Certador, and any tank mix
|
||
partners, required to treat the area covered by the irriga-
|
||
tion system.
|
||
5. Add the required amount of Certador, and any tank mix
|
||
partners, and sufficient water to meet the injection time
|
||
requirements to the solution tanks. (See “Mixing
|
||
Instructions”section of this label.)
|
||
6. Make sure the system is fully charged with water before
|
||
starting injection of the Certador solution. Time the
|
||
injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the
|
||
system to full pressure.
|
||
7. Maintain constant agitation in the solution tank during
|
||
the injection period.
|
||
8. Inject the specified amount of Certador per acre contin-
|
||
uously for one complete revolution of the system.
|
||
9. Stop the injection equipment after treatment is com-
|
||
plete. Continue to operate the system until the Certador
|
||
solution has cleared all of the sprinkler heads.
|
||
10. Allow time for all lines to flush the pesticide through all
|
||
nozzles before turning off irrigation water.
|
||
Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation
|
||
Equipment
|
||

|
||
the flow rate of the system to deliver the contents of the
|
||
tank over a 20 to 40 minute time interval.
|
||
3. Determine the amount of Certador required to treat the
|
||
area covered by the irrigation system.
|
||
4. Add the required amount of Certador, and any other
|
||
tank mix partners, into the same quantity of water used
|
||
to calibrate the injection period. (See “Mixing
|
||
Instructions” section of this label.)
|
||
5. Operate the system at the same pressure and time inter-
|
||
val established during the calibration.
|
||
6. Inject specified amount of Certador per acre for either a
|
||
20 to 40 minute period at the end of a regular irrigation
|
||
set, or as a 20 to 40 minute injection as a separate
|
||
application not associated with a regular irrigation to
|
||
maximize retention of the insecticide by the foliage.
|
||
7. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed.
|
||
Continue to operate the system until the Certador solu-
|
||
tion has cleared the last sprinkler head. To ensure lines
|
||
are flushed and free from remaining pesticides, a dye
|
||
indicator may be injected into the lines to mark the end
|
||
of the application period.
|
||
Recommendations To Avoid Spray Drift
|
||
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibil-
|
||
ity of the applicator. 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 decisions. Where states
|
||
have more stringent regulations, they must be observed.
|
||
Follow these recommendations to avoid spray drift:
|
||
1. Make applications when wind velocity favors on-target
|
||
product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph).
|
||
DO NOT apply when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph.
|
||
Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 10 mph.
|
||
2. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be
|
||
reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is
|
||
toward the aquatic area.
|
||
3. DO NOT cultivate or plant crops within 25 feet of the
|
||
aquatic area as to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.
|
||
4. DO NOT make applications during temperature inver-
|
||
sions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and
|
||
increasing temperatures with increased height above the
|
||
ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an
|
||
inversion in humid areas. The applicator may detect the
|
||
presence of an inversion by producing smoke and
|
||
observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
5. Use the largest droplet size consistent with good pest
|
||
control. Small droplets are more prone to spray drift and
|
||
can 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.
|
||
6. Apply as close to target plants as practical to obtain a
|
||
good spray pattern for adequate coverage. Applications
|
||
more than 10 ft above the crop canopy should be avoided.
|
||
7. For aerial applications, the spray boom should be
|
||
mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused
|
||
by wing tip vortices. Use the minimum practical boom
|
||
length. DO NOT exceed 75% of wing span or rotor
|
||
diameter.
|
||
Air Assisted (Air Blast) Tree and Vine Sprayers
|
||
(Grape and Potato Only)
|
||
Air assisted tree and vine sprayers carry droplets into the
|
||
canopy of trees and vines via a radially or laterally directed
|
||
air stream.
|
||
In addition to the general drift management principles
|
||
already described, the following specific practices will fur-
|
||
ther reduce the potential for drift:
|
||
• Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only
|
||
directed into the canopy.
|
||
• Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no over-
|
||
hanging canopy.
|
||
• Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and
|
||
provide good coverage. Use a minimum of 50 gallons fin-
|
||
ished spray per acre.
|
||
• DO NOT allow spray to go beyond the edge of the culti-
|
||
vated area. Spray the outside row only from outside the
|
||
planting.
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
• DO NOT graze treated areas or use clippings from treat-
|
||
ed areas for feed or forage.
|
||
• DO NOT apply under conditions where uniform coverage
|
||
cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may
|
||
occur.
|
||
• Prevent runoff or puddling of irrigation water following
|
||
application.
|
||
• DO NOT apply to areas that are water logged or saturat-
|
||
ed, or frozen, that will not allow penetration into the root
|
||
zone of the plant.
|
||
• DO NOT use on house plants grown inside residences.
|
||
• Rotational Crops - For all crops other than cucurbit
|
||
vegetables, fruiting vegetables, grape, head and stem
|
||
Brassica, leafy vegetables, and potato, a 120-day plant-
|
||
back interval must be observed.

Foliar Application. Apply with air or ground equipment in adequate water for uniform coverage (3 to 10 gallons/acre by
|
||
air or 20 to 40 gallons/acre by ground).
|
||
Follow application instructions as indicated in Bee Hazard Direction for Use.
|
||
Soil Application. See Table 3. Conversion Chart for Linear Application.
|
||
Apply specified dosage in sufficient carrier volume to ensure uniform application and incorporate into the soil using one
|
||
of the following methods:
|
||
1. In a narrow band centered on the plant row in the bedding operation just prior to planting. For best results band width
|
||
should be 2 inches or less and placed 1 to 2 inches below the seed depth.
|
||
2. In-furrow spray at or below seed level or a narrow surface band above the seedline during planting. For surface-
|
||
banded applications incorporate to a depth of 1-1/2 inches with sufficient irrigation within 24 hours to ensure
|
||
satisfactory insect control.
|
||
3. As a post-seeding drench, transplant drench or hill drench. Applications should be made with sufficient water to
|
||
ensure incorporation into the root zone.
|
||
4. As a sidedress after plants are established. Applications should be placed within 2 to 4 inches to the side of each row
|
||
and incorporated 1 or more inches deep. Applications should be made to each row if there are two rows per bed.
|
||
5. In drip or trickle irrigation water.
