COMPATIBILITY / TANK MIXING
ASSAIL® 30 SG Insecticide, when diluted with an equal volume of water, is physically compatible with a wide range of commonly used spray products, but the full range of compatibilities
under local conditions is not known. Therefore, it is essential that before using ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide in any tank mixture the compatibility of the mixture be established. Add a small
amount of this product to an equal volume of water in a small container and then add the other pesticide or spray product and mix thoroughly. DO NOT USE MIXTURES THAT CURDLE,
PRECIPITATE, OR GREASE. FOR BEST RESULTS, SPRAY MIXTURES SHOULD BE USED IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING WITH ADEQUATE AGITATION. It is the pesticide users
responsibility to ensure that all products in a tank mix are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions and precautionary language of the products of
the mixture (for example, first aid from one product, spray drift management from another).
Special Instructions for Tank Mixing ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide
When tank mixing ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide with other products, introduce the products into the tank in the following order: (1) water soluble packets (2) wettable powders (3) water
dispersable granules (such as ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide) (4) flowable liquids (5) emulsifiable concentrates and (6) adjuvants and/or oils (do not use stickers). Always allow each product
to fully disperse before adding the next product.
DIRECTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION
Instructions
For chemigation use only on cranberries and on potatoes after foliage has emerged and only through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems.
Apply this product only through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, side (wheel) roll, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems after potato foliage has
emerged. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform
distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. 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.
The overhead sprinkler chemigation system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum 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 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 withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually 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
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 for materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water
systems are in place. 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 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,
back flow preventer (RPZ) of 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 flow 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. 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 supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain
functional interlocking 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. 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 for treatment.
Application Instructions
Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above. Apply ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide only through systems containing anti-siphon and check valves designed to
prevent water source contamination or overflow of the mix tank and containing interlocking controls between the metering device and the water pump to insure simultaneous shut-off.
Maintain a gentle continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure a uniform suspension. Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved by
injecting a larger volume of a more dilute suspension per unit time. Application of more than recommended quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in decreased product
performance. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connections or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide uniform distribution or when lines containing the product
cannot be flushed and must be dismantled and drained. In a center pivot system, block the nozzle set nearest the well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray being applied to this area. Use
of end guns which deliver uneven distribution of water is not recommended. Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable insect control may result.
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide may be applied in conjunction with
chemically neutral liquid fertilizers. Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, such as aqueous ammonia, may cause a degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reduced
performance and should be avoided.
Spray Preparation
Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical tank and entire injector system. Flush with clean water. Prepare a solution of ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide in
a mix tank. Fill the tank with ½ or ¾ the desired amount of water. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Slowly add the required amount of ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide and then the
remaining volume of water.
Sprinkler Irrigation
Observe all System Requirements and Application Instructions above. Set sprinkler system to deliver a maximum of 0.2 inch of water per acre. Volumes of water higher than this may
reduce efficacy. Start sprinkler and then uniformly inject the solution of ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rate per acre. The solution of
ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide should be injected with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mixing. Retention of ASSAIL 30 SG on

foliage is necessary for optimum activity. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Where sprinkler distributed patterns do not overlap
sufficiently, unacceptable insect control may result.
SPRAY DRIFT
Avoid spray drift. Do not apply when weather conditions may cause drift. Do not allow this product to drift on to non-target areas. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply aerially when wind speed
is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. For aerial application, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturers
catalogs and in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial applications to agricultural crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry applications,
public health uses or to applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. 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.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory below:
AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY
[This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements].
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply MEDIUM droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control.
Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (See Wind, Temperature and
Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE
Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturers recommended pressures. For many nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed,
use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
Nozzle Orientation - Small droplets are more prone to spray drift and can be minimized by several factors including orienting no zzles away from the air stream. Orienting nozzles so that the spray is
released parallel to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider
using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.
BOOM LENGTH
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
APPLICATION HEIGHT
Applications should not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height
that is safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind.
SWATH ADJUSTMENT
When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should compensate for this displacement
by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
WIND
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be
avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and
how they affect spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both
hot and dry.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain
in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing
temperatures with altitude and are common 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. Their presence can be
indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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.
SENSITIVE AREAS
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species,
non-target crops) is minimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Do not cultivate or plant crops within 10 feet of aquatic areas as to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.

Begin application when insect populations reach recognized economic threshold levels. Consult the Cooperative Extension Service, Professional consultants or other qualified authorities
to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in your area.
INFORMATION
ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is a 30% soluble granule for the control of many sucking and chewing insects on the crops listed in this label. The active ingredient in ASSAIL 30 SG
Insecticide is acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide that controls target insects through contact and ingestion. ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is rapidly absorbed by the plant tissue and
quickly moves via systemic translaminar activity to protect the entire leaf. However, thorough spray coverage is essential for optimal performance. ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is rainfast
once the spray solution has dried.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing and Application Instructions for ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide
ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is a soluble granule formulation that readily disperses in water to form a spray mixture, which may be applied by ground or air.
1. Plan ahead. Prepare only enough spray mixture as can be applied on the day of mixing.
2. Fill tank ¼ - ½ full with the required amount of total spray volume of water.
3. Begin agitation and add product.
4. Continue to fill tank.
5. Allow mixing in tank for 2 minutes after filling or until thoroughly mixed before applying.
6. Maintain continuous agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform suspension. If mixture sits without agitation for extended periods, agitate the mixture for at least
10 minutes before use.
7. Equip spray system with a 50-mesh inline filter, which will protect nozzles that are typically used. Nozzles may also be equipped with 50-mesh nozzle filters or 25 to 50 mesh
(equivalent) slotted nozzle filters.
8. ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is unstable in water pH below 4 and above 9. If necessary, buffer water to obtain optimum pH range.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
ROW CROPS
Apply a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre by air or 15 gallons per acre by ground unless otherwise directed under crop specific directions. For best results, it is
important to obtain thorough and uniform spray coverage of the plant. For aerial application, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle
manufacturers catalogs and in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572.
The use of spray adjuvants, such as high quality non-ionic or silicone surfactants or methylated seed oils is recommended to enhance coverage and plant uptake and may improve pest
control on certain crops. Please see specific crop use directions. The addition of an adjuvant is recommended for all application s made to vegetables (except legumes) and to cotton when
controlling whiteflies. The use of stickers is not recommended. Some adjuvants can cause adverse effects on certain crops, such as spotting or burn to fruit or foliage. Select an adjuvant
that will be safe for the target crop. Follow adjuvant use directions. Consult your local Extension Service, Crop Advisor or Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. representative for additional information.
Use higher dosage rates for heavy infestations or dense foliage. The specific length of residual control depends on environmental factors, plant growth, dosage rate, and degree of insect
infestation. For foliar banded applications, determine the amount of chemical to use per acre by dividing the band width by the row width and multiplying by the appropriate broadcast rate.
To clean the sprayer after use, drain and flush with water. Use rinsate on crop according to label instructions or dispose of in an approved manner (See STORAGE AND DISPOSAL).
ORCHARD AND VINE CROPS (excluding grapes)
To achieve optimum pest control, it is important to obtain thorough and uniform spray coverage. Choose a finished spray volume appropriate for the size of tree or vine and amount of
foliage which will provide thorough coverage throughout the canopy. For certain pests, also follow recommendations listed under crop specific directions. For aerial application, select
nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturers catalogs and in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572. Aerial applications may not
provide as thorough coverage as ground applications.
The use of spray adjuvants, such as high quality non-ionic surfactants, methylated seed or horticultural oils, is recommended to enhance coverage and plant uptake and may improve pest
control. The addition of an adjuvant is recommended for all applications to pome fruit when controlling codling moth, oriental fruit moth, and San Jose scale. The use of stickers is not
recommended. Some adjuvants can cause adverse effects, such as spotting or burn to fruit or foliage. Select an adjuvant that will be safe for the target crop. Follow adjuvant use
directions. Consult your local Extension Service, Crop Advi sor or Nippon Soda representative for additional information.
Use higher dosage rates within the listed rate range for heavy infestations or dense foliage. The specific length of residual control depends on environmental factors, plant growth, dosage
rate, and degree of insect infestation.
To clean the sprayer after use, drain and flush with water. Use rinsate on crop according to label instructions or dispose of in an approved manner (See STORAGE AND DISPOSAL).
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) USE OF THIS PRODUCT
ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide has ovicidal, larvicidal, or adulticidal activity against many pests which can be effectively utilized in IPM programs. Control of important pests coupled with
retention of beneficial insects and spiders can offer significant benefits to those producers utilizing integrated pest management programs.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Acetamiprid is the active ingredient in ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide. It is a member of a class of chemicals known as neonicotinoids and within the mode of action Group 4A.
Rotating ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide with insecticides of a different mode of action (other than Group 4A insecticides) may delay or prevent development of resistance and
cross-resistance to ASSAIL and other Group 4A insecticides. Avoid making more than two (2) consecutive applications of ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide before rotating to an
alternative mode of action insecticide. Foliar applications of ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide should be avoided on crops treated with a Group 4A seed treatment or soil-applied
insecticide until a foliar application of a non-Group 4A insecticide (insecticide with a different mode of action) has been applied between these applications. The use of
ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide should conform to the resistance management guidelines established in your area. Consult your agricultural advisor, PCA, university or extension
personnel for recommended pest and resistance management practices for your area. Use recommended IPM practices in your pest management system. Use of rates
below the minimum rate listed for each particular insect pest may enhance the development of resistance and should be avoided.
