Do not store under conditions which might adversely affect the container or its ability to function properly. Open dumping is prohibited. PESTICIDE STORAGE: Do not store below temperature of 32 degrees F., as it may tend to crystallize. Avoid storage above 90 degrees F., as prolonged storage above 90 degrees F. may cause some loss in grade. Store in safe manner. Store in original container only. Keep container tightly closed when not in use. Reduce stacking height where local conditions can affect package strength. 5

PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are acutely 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 at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. CONTAINER DISPOSAL: Triple rinse (or equivalent). Then offer for recycling or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill or incineration, or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. DIRECTIONS Not for use or storage in or around the home. This product is intended for use by commercial growers, or commercial applicators in conventional hydraulic sprayers, ground applicators, or aerial sprayers. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift of spray from treated areas. AIR APPLICATION: Use recommended amount in 2 to 10 gallons of water, unless otherwise noted. Apply at least 5 gallons finished spray per acre in California. Repeat applications as necessary unless otherwise specified. Automatic flagging devices should be used whenever feasible. If human flaggers are employed, they must wear the protective clothing and respirator specified on this label. Consult your State Experiment Station or State Extension Service for proper timing of applications. GROUND APPLICATION: Use recommended amount in sufficient water for thorough coverage, usually 25 to 50 gallons per acre unless otherwise noted. COMPATIBILITY" Rebelate is compatible in spray tank mixes with most insecticides, miticides, and fungicides, provided they are not alkaline in reaction. Field experience indicates that Rebelate has been satisfactoril,¥ mixed with Sevin®, Diazinon®, Pydrin®, Guthion®, Malathion, parathion, Kelthane ,Cyprex®, Captan®, Zineb®, and Thiram®. Because uniform dispersibility and sprayability may be influenced by pesticide combinations used, it is recommended that compatibility be determined before adding pesticides to 6

the spray tank. The addition of x-n® Spreader at recommended rates will usually eliminate any incompatibility noted. For proper mixing, spray tank should be at least three-quarters filled with water before adding Rebelate formulations. Mechanical agitation or recirculation through pump bypass to tank is usually sufficient for maintaining a good dispersion. Tank mixing must be done in accordance with the more (most) restrictive of label limitations and precautions for all products to be mixed. No label dosage rates should be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. "Tank mixes not registered in California.
