Product Information
Confirm 70 WSP Insecticide mimics the action of the natural insect hor mone 20-hydroxyecdysone, the
physiological inducer of the molting and metamorphosis process in insects. Confirm 70 WSP is highly
active against most lepidopterous la rvae while having prac tically no activity at typical use -rates against
other orders of insects. Confirm 70 WSP controls lepidopterous larvae through a novel mode-of-action by
the induction of a premature lethal molt which initiates within hours of ingesti on of treated crop sur faces.
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 70 WSP has not been determined on all plants and crops. Before treating large
numbers of plants, test Confir m 70 WSP, or tank mixes with Confirm 70 WSP 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, und erstand and follow label use rates, recommendations and restrictions. Apply the
amount specified in the crop specific tables listed in this label with properly calibrated aerial or ground
spray equipment. The low rates may be used for light infestations of the target lepidopterous species and
the higher rates for moderate to heavy infestations. Confirm 70 WSP may be applied in either dilute or
concentrate sprays so long as the applicatio n equipment is calibrated and adjusted to deliver thorough,
uniform coverage. U se the specified amount of Confirm 70 WSP per acre regardless of spray volume
used. Prepare only the amount of spray solution required to treat the measured acreage.
Compatibility
Confirm 70 WSP is believed to be compatible with most commonly -used agricultural fungicides,
insecticides, growth regulators, foliar fertilizers and spray adjuvants. If in doubt, the user should consult
spray compatibility char ts or State Cooperativ e Extension Specialists prior to preparing tank mixtures . It

is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and 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.
Instructions for Using Water Soluble Packages Directly into Spray tanks:
Water Soluble Packages (WSPs) are designed to dissolve in water. Agitation may be used, if necessary,
to help dissolve the WSP. Failure to follow handling and mixing instructions can increase your exposure
to the pesticide products in WSPs. WSPs, when used properly,
qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard
[40 CFR 170.607(d)].
Handling Instructions
Follow these steps when handling pesticide products in WSPs.
1. Mix in spray tank only.
2. Handle WSP(s) in a manner that prot ects package from breakage and/or unintended release of
contents. If package is broken, put on PPE requi red for clean-up and then continue with mixing
instructions.
3. Keep the WSP(s) in outer packaging until just before use.
4. Keep the WSP dry prior to adding to the spray tank.
5. Handle with dry gloves and according to the label instructions for PPE.
6. Keep WSP intact. Do not cut or puncture WSP.
7. Reseal the WSP outer packaging to protect any unused WSP(s).
Mixing
Fill spray t ank one-third to one-half full of clean water before adding water -soluble pouches to the spray
tank. Place the Confirm 70 WSP pouches in the spray tank and insure that the pouches are completely
dissolved before adding other co- applied products. Add the required number of pouc hes as determined
by the dosage recommendations into the tank with continuous agitation. Depending on the wat er
temperature and the degree of agitation, the pouches should completely dissolve within approximately
five minutes.
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read
and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and 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.
Note: Confirm 70 WSP Insect icide is compatible with boron and spray oils; however, the water -soluble
pouches must be completely dissolved before adding spray oils or products containing boron to spray
mixtures.
Handling
The enclosed pouches of Confi rm 70 WSP are water soluble. Do not allow pouches to become wet prior
to adding to the spray tank. Do not handle the pouches with wet hands or wet gloves. Always reseal over
wrap bag to protect remaining unused pouches. Do not remove water -soluble pouches from ov er wrap
except to add directly to the spray tank.
Application Timing
The activity of Confirm 70 WSP is expressed primarily through i ngestion by the target larvae.
Consequently, the timing of application is dependent up on the feeding behavior of the target pest. For
internal 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.
Re-application may be requi red to pr otect new flushes of fol iage or rapidly expanding fruit. The re-
application interval will vary depending up on how rapidly the crop is growing and the generation time of
Confirm 70 WSP, EPA Reg. No. 8033-112
5-13-22 Revised clean copy draft label to comply with Interim Decision
Page 6 of 24
the target pest. While Confirm 70 WSP is essentially equally effective against all in stars, it is generally
good practice to make applications to early instars to avoid the 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 larvae 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 70 WSP must be ingested by the larvae, application must be in a manner that assures
uniform and thorough coverage. Higher water volume and increased spray pressure 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 may result in less than satisfactory coverage
and poor performance, 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 excessive spray drift may occur.
A minimum of six hours drying time is required between completion of application and the onset of
precipitation to ensure retention of the spray deposit.
Use Restrictions for Chemigation
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system except as specified for use on cranberries.
Spray Adjuvants
The addition of agricultural adjuvants to Confirm 70 WSP sprays will improve initial spray deposits,
redistribution and weatherability.
Place Confirm 70 WSP into suspension prior to adding an adjuvant to the spray mixture. Read 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 70 WSP contains a Group 18 insecticide. Any i nsect population
may contain individuals naturally resistant to Confirm 70 WSP and other Group 18 insecticides. The
resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of i nsecticides are used 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 70 WSP or other Group 18 insecticides within a growin g 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 m ixture 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):
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 component s having the same IRA C mode of action classification 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.
Confirm 70 WSP, EPA Reg. No. 8033-112
5-13-22 Revised clean copy draft label to comply with Interim Decision
Page 7 of 24
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest i f the
two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal a ctivity. 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 considers
cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Monitor after application for unexpecte d target pest surviva l. If the level of surviva l 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 pe sticide
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.

Use Restrictions for Applications Through Chemigation Systems
_ 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.
_ Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional reduced-
pressure zone (RPZ), back flow preventer or the functional equivalent in the water supply line
upstream from th e 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 th e 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 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 funct ional, normally closed solenoid-operated
valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to
prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when t he irrigation system is either
automatically or manually shut down.
_ The system must contain functional interlocki ng controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is 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 decreases to the point where pest icide 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 calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts.

Ground Application: Make applications of Confirm 70 WSP by conventional ground sprayers which are
calibrated to deliver a minimum of 50 gallons per acre to trees 10 feet tall or less. For trees greater than
10 feet tall, use a minimum of 100 gallons per acre.
Aerial Application: Make applications of Confirm 70 WSP in a minimum of 5 gallons per acre. Confirm
70 WSP can be applied by aerial applicatio ns when situat ions warrant. However, application by this
method may res ult in reduced efficacy if the size of the tree or density of the fol iage prohibits thorough,
uniform coverage of the entire tree canopy.

approximately 8 to 15 days
following first sustained moth
catch1). Control of first
generation pecan nut
casebearer may require a
second application under
conditions of extended egg

Walnuts
Ground Application: Make applications of Confirm 70 WSP by conventional ground s prayers which are
calibrated to deliver a mi nimum of 50 gallons per acre to walnut trees 4th leaf or younger. For walnut
trees 5th leaf or older , use a minimum of 100 gallons per acre. Ground speed of the sprayer s hould not
exceed 2 mph.
Aerial Application: Make applications of Confirm 70 WSP in a minimum of 20 gallons per acre. Confirm
70 WSP can be applied by aerial applications when situations warrant. However, this met hod should not
be used if the size of the tree or density of the foliage prohibit s 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 both aerial and ground methods. Both porti ons of the
application must be made withi n the timing window as described below. The total amount of Confirm 70
WSP applied in a split application cannot exceed 10.7 oz. per 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,

Performance of Confirm 70 WSP against pests not listed on this label cannot be warr anted nor can crop
tolerance of Confirm 70 WSP 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 bef ore treating large blocks of trees. Generally,
optimum performance against lepidopterous pests (worms) is achieved when Confirm 70 WSP is applied
at the initiation 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 expandin g or if pest i nfestations are heavy or
extended.

Ground Application: Apply a minimum of 10 gallons per acre by conventional ground equipment to
young crop and small plants. Apply a minimum of 20 gallons per acre to densely foliated or difficul t to
cover crops to ensure thorough coverage.
Aerial Application: For optimum performance a minimum application volume of 10 gallons per acre is
recommended. Lower carrier volumes may result in less uniform coverage and reduced efficacy.
Spray Adjuvants: One pint of adjuvant per 100 gallons of spray mixture is recommended to maximize
coverage and distribution of the spray material.
