Product Information
Confirm® 2F insecticide mimics the action of the natural insect hormone 20 -hydroxyecdysone, the
physiological inducer of the molting and metamorphosis pro cess in insects. Confirm 2F is highly active
against most lepidopterous larvae while having practically no activity at typical use rates against other
orders of insects. Confirm 2F controls lepidopterous larvae through a novel mode of action by the
induction o f a premature lethal molt which initiates within hours of ingestion of treated crop surfaces.
Contact activity has also been observed in some insects. Actual death of the larvae will take several days
to occur, although feeding by the insects generally ceases within 24 hours of ingestion.
The safety of Confirm 2F has not been determined on all plants and crops. Before treating large numbers
of plants, test Confirm 2F , or tank mixes with Confirm 2F and other pesticides or fertilizers , at labeled
rates on a small section of plants and observe for symptoms of sensitivity prior to treating an entire crop.
Use Rate Determination
Carefully read, understand and follow label use rates, recommendations and restrictions. Apply the
amount specifi ed in the c rop-specific tables listed in this label with properly calibrated aerial or ground
spray equipment.
The low rates may be used for light infestatio ns of the target lepidopterous species and the higher rates
for moderate to heavy infestations. C onfirm 2F m ay be applied in either dilute or concentrate sprays so
long as the application equipment is calibrated and adjusted to deliver thorough, uniform c overage. Use
the specified amount of Confirm 2F per acre regardless of spray volume used. Prepar e only the amount
of spray solution required to treat the measured acreage.
Mixing and Compatibility
Fill the spray tank one-third to one-half full of clean water and slowly pour Confirm 2F into the spray tank.
Maintain agitation in the spray tank during mixing, loading and application. Triple rinse empty container
and add rinsate to spray tank.
Confirm 2F is believed to be compatible w ith most commonly used agricultural fungicides, insecticides,
growth regulators, foliar fertilizers and spray adjuvants . If in do ubt, mix proportional amounts of all spray
ingredients in a test vessel. Shake the mixture vigorously and allow it to stand f or fifteen minutes. Rapid
precipitation of the ingredients and failure to re -suspend when shaken indicates that the mi xture is
incompatible and should not be applied. It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products
are registered for the intended use. R ead and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and
Confirm 2F label, EPA Reg. No. 8033-111

5-13-22

directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Application Timing
The activity of Confirm 2F is expressed p rimarily through ingestion by the target larvae. Consequently,
the timing of application is dependent upon the feeding behavior of the target pes t. For int ernal feeding
larvae, application must be made prior to the time that surface feeding occurs. For foliar or surface
feeding larvae, application made while active feeding is occurring will be effective.
Reapplication may be required to protect new flushes of foliage or rapidly expanding fruit. The
reapplication interval will vary depending upon how rapidly the crop is growing and the generation time of
the target pest. While Confirm 2F is essentially equally effective against all instars, it i s generally good
practice to make applications to early instars to avoid t he heavy damage that can be inflicted by later
instar larvae.
For best results, begin applications when first signs of feeding damage or when threshold levels of moths,
eggs or larv ae occur. Consult the Cooperative Extension Service, or other qualified professional
authorities, to determine the appropriate threshold for application in your area.
Application Instructions
Because Confirm 2F must be ingested by the larvae, application must be in a manner that assures
uniform and thorou gh coverage. Higher water volume and increased spray pres sure generally provide
better coverage. Operating an air -blast sprayer at ground speeds greater than 2 mph and making
applications in an alternate row middle pattern in tree crops and vines may res ult in less than satisfactory
coverage and poor performanc e, particularly in conditions of high pest infestation levels, extremely large
trees and/or dense foliage. Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be assured
or when excessi ve spray drift may occur. A minimum of six hours drying t ime is required between the
completion of application and the onset of precipitation to ensure optimum performance.
Use Restriction for Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system except
as specified for use on cranberries and ornamentals.
Spray Adjuvants: The addition of agricultural adjuvants to Confirm 2F sprays will improve initial spray
deposits, redistribution and weatherability.
Place Confirm 2F into suspe nsion prior to adding an adjuvant to the spray mixture. R ead and carefully
observe the precautionary statements and all other information appearing on all product labels prior to
spray preparation.
Pesticide Resistance Management
For resistance management, Confirm 2F contains a Group 18 insecticide. Any i nsect population may
contain individuals naturally resistant to Confi rm 2F and other Group 18 insecticides. The resistant
individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are u sed repeatedly in the
same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay insecticide/acaricide resistance, take the following steps:
• Rotate the use of Confirm 2F or other Group 18 insecticides within a growing season, or among
growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
• 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):
Confirm 2F label, EPA Reg. No. 8033-111
Clean copy revised DRAFT label to comply with Interim Decision
5-13-22
Page 8 of 33
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 hav ing the same IRAC mode of action clas sification 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 res istance is already d eveloping to one or both active
ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
o The insect resistance m anagement benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest i f the
two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mi xtures of
insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide act ivity may offer an insect
resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active.
• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticides use that in cludes scouting, uses
historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which consi ders
cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of s urvival suggests the
presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control
advisor.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or IPM r ecommendations for the specific site and pest problems in
your area.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Nisso America Inc. at (212) 490-
0350.

Chemigation Applic ation: For use only in solid- set sprinkler systems designed specifically for
chemigation. Apply through a properly calibrated chemigation system that has the appropriate back flow
prevention devices. See the Mixing section of this labeling for specific mixing and dilution instructions.
Confirm 2F should be applied in dedicated chemigation cycles only, not as a pa rt of a regular irrigation
cycle. Do not exceed 900 gallons of water per acre application volume. Minimum volume should be used
for flushout t o avoid diluting or rinsing off product. Washout time should not exceed six (6) minutes.
Sprinkler heads shoul d be set in a spacing not exceeding 50 feet by 60 feet and adjusted to provide
100% overlap. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pes ticide residues can result from non- uniform
distribution of treated water.
Use Restrictions for Applications through Chemigation Systems
• Do not conn ect 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.
• Chemigation systems connected to pu blic water systems must contain a functional red uced-pressure
zone (RPZ), back flow preventer or the functional equivalent in the water supply l ine 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 t ank 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.
• Systems not connected to a public water supply must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief
valve, and low -pressure drain appropriately located in the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source
contamination from back flow.
• The pest icide injectio n pipeline must contai n 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 inj ection 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 f unctional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection
pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there i s no water pump, when the water
pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
• The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch that will stop the water pump
motor when the water pressure decr eases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely
affected.
• Systems must use a positive displacement, metering 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.
• If you have questions about calibr ation, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts.

ORNAMENTALS
When used as recommended, Confirm 2F will control the designated pests on trees, shrubs, foliage
plants and fl owers grown in commercial nurseries and greenhouses, in Christmas tree farms, in outdoor
landscape areas such as parks, recreational areas, institutional grounds, residential property, etc., and i n
interior plantscapes.
When applied as directed, Confirm 2F has shown excellent tolerance on a wi de r ange of ornamental
plants. It is impossible, however, to evaluate this product on all ornamentals or under all possible growing
conditions. The user s hould exercise reasonable judgment and caution with this product. Until familiar
with results under user growing conditions, a limited number of plants should be treated.
Pesticide Resistance Management for Ornamental Use Only:
Resistance to pesticides has been shown to develop when a pesticide is used continuously against many
generations of a target pest. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. encourages the periodic interruption of continuous
use by utilization of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices or by the pe riodic use of a product with
an alternative mode of action to delay or prevent development of resis tance. Since the development of
resistance cannot be predicted, we suggest you consult local or Stat e Extension Service personnel for
resistance management strategies appropriate to your crop locality and production practices. Do not use
this product to contr ol more t han three consecutive generations of pests in a cropping area (field)
regardless of the crop rotation on that field. If you are unsure of the number of generations treated, do
not use this product more than four times within any 80- day interval. If Confirm 2F has been applied four
times in 80 days or less, allow at least 40 days to pass before making additional applications

Ground Application: Make applications of Confirm 2F by conventional ground or hydraulic sprayers that
are calibrated to deliver a minimum of 50 gallons per acre. For mist blowers or a ir blast sprayers, use a
minimum of 10 gallons per acre. Application equipment should be properly calib rated and provide
uniform spray coverage throughout the plant canopy
Aerial Application: Make applications of Confirm 2F in a minimum of 20 gallons pe r acre. Confirm 2F
can be applied by aerial application when situations warrant. However, this me thod should not be used if
the size of the tree or density of the foliage prohibits thorough, uniform coverage of the entire tree canopy.
Chemigation Application Directions for Use for Ornamentals Only:
Sprinkler Irrigation: For use only in solid- set spr inkler systems designed specifically for
chemigation.
Apply through a properly c alibrated chemigation system that has the appropriate back flow prevention
devices. This product should be applied in dedicated chemigation cycles only, not as part of a regul ar
irrigation cycle. Do not exceed 1200 gallons of water per acre application v olume. Mi nimum volum e
should be used for flush out to avoid diluting or rinsing off product. Washout time should not exceed the
time needed to cl ear the lines. Sprinkler hea ds should be s et in a spacing not exceeding 50 feet by 60
feet and adjusted to provide 100% overlap.
Use Restrictions for Applications Through Chemigation Systems:
• Apply only through solid-set sprinkler systems. Do not apply product through any other type of irrigation
system.
• Crop injury, lack of effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues c an result from non-uniform distribution of
treated water.
• If you h ave questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Ser vice specialists or
equipment manufacturers.
• Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide applicati on to a public water system unless the
pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
• A person knowledgeable of t he chemigation system and res ponsible for i ts operation, or under the
supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments
should the need arise.
When Applying via Sprinkler Chemigation:
• The system must contain a functional check valve, vac uum r elief val ve, and low -pressure drain
appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow.
• 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 wit hdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatical ly 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 functional pressure switch that 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 p ositive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
pump) effectively desi gned and c onstructed 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.
When the Chemigation System is 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 that 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.
• Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional reduced- pressure
zone (RPZ), backflow preventer 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 pipe fill and the top or overflow ri m of the reservoir tank of
at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automat ic, quick -closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
• Systems not connec ted to a public water supply must contain a functional check valve, vacuum r elief
valve, and low -pressure drain appropriately located in the irrigation pipeline to prevent water sou rce
contamination from back flow.
• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed solenoid -operated valve
located on the int ake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock t o prevent fluid
from being wi thdrawn from t he supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or
manually shut down.
Spray Adjuvants: A spray adjuvant should be used wit h Confirm 2F applications. The adjuvant will
improve initial spray deposits, redistribution and weathera bility of Confirm 2F. The adjuvant chosen
should be approved for use on the ornament als being t reated. Since some adjuvants can be phytotoxic
to certain ornamental plants, the user should have prior experience with the adjuvant before combining it
with Confirm 2F.

trees 5th leaf or older use a minimum of 100 gallons per acre. Ground speed of the spra yer should not
exceed 2 mph.
Aerial Application: Make applications of Confirm 2F in a minimum of 20 gallons per acre. Confir m 2F
can be applied by aerial applications when situations warrant. However, this method should not be used
if the siz e of the tr ee or density of the foliage prohibits thorough, uniform coverage of the entire tree
canopy.
Split Application: In order to achieve thorough uniform coverage of extremely tall, dense trees, it may be
preferable to apply a split application composed of bot h aerial and ground methods. Both portions of the
application must be made within the timing window as descr ibed below. The total amount of Confirm 2F
applied in a split application cannot exceed 30 fl oz per acre.

Application Timing
Restrictions
codling moth 16 - 30
(0.25 - 0.47 lb.
ai/acre)
For each codling moth generation,
apply at initiation of egg hatch
(200 to 250 DD following biofix1).
Control of first-generation codling
moth may require a second
application 10 to 14 days
following first application to
ensure complete coverage of
rapidly expanding foliage and
expanding surface area of the
walnut. After plant foliage
expansion and walnut growth
has ceased, multiple applications
(every 14 to 21 days) may be
required to provide control of
extended codling moth flights.
Higher use rates may also be used
for extended residual
effectiveness, higher pest
infestation levels, larger trees or
heavy, dense foliage.
The maximum single
application rate is 30 fl.
oz. (0.47 lb. ai) per acre.
Do not apply more than
the maximum annual
application rate of 122 fl.
oz. per acre per calendar
year.
Do not make more than
four (4) applications per
year.
The minimum retreatment
interval is 10 days.
The Pre-Harvest Interval
(PHI) is 14 days.
Do not graze livestock in
treated areas or feed
cover crops grown in
treated areas to
livestock.
navel orange worm Apply at initiation of egg hatch.
fall webworm
redhumped caterpillar
Apply at first sign of larvae
appearance.
1First sustained moth catch (biofix) is defined as the date on which the total of five moths are captured in three
pheromone traps within a seven-day period. Consult State Extension Specialists or other qualified authorities for
specific information regarding number, placement and management of pheromone traps.

Tree Nut Crops Not Specifically Listed in the Above Charts
For control of lepidoptera pests for which Confirm 2F is registered.
Use Restrictions:
• The maximum single application rate is 30 fl. oz. (0.47 lb. ai) per acre.
• The Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) is 14 days.
• The minimum retreatment interval is 10 days.
• Do not apply more than the maximum annual application rate of 122 fl. oz. per calendar year.
• Do not make more than four (4) applications per year.
Performance of Confirm 2F agains t pests not listed on this label cannot be warranted nor can crop
tolerance of Confirm 2F in all types and varieties of tree nuts be assured. If unsure, the user is advised to
treat a few trees to observe for symptoms before treating large blocks of trees . Generally, optimum
performance against lepidopterous pests (worms) is achieved when Confirm 2F is applied at the ini tiation
of egg hatch. Reapplication in 10 to 20 days may be required if the plant part(s) to be protected from
insect damage is rapidly growing or expanding or if pest infestations are heavy or extended.
Trees1, Forests2, and Shrubs3
1Trees include: Christmas Trees, nurseries and plantations, conifer seed orchards, ornamental and
shade trees.
2Forests include: commercial, private and public forestland, conifer release sites, shelterbelts and
windbreaks, and forest plantings.
3Shrubs include: woody shrubs and vines.
Because Confirm 2F must be ingested in order to be effective, it is essential that coverage is thorough
and uniform. Higher carrier volumes and higher use rates are recommended for very large trees or dense
stands and for heavy target pest infestations.
Ground Application: Hydraulic ground sprayers should be calibrated to deliver a minimum of 50 gallons
per acre. For mist blowers or air blast sprayers, use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre.
Aerial Application: Make applications in a minimum of 1 gall on per acre. Higher carrier volumes are
recommended when environmental conditions are less than ideal for aerial applications.
