GENERAL INFORMATION 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide is an emulsifiable concentrate containing 1.25 lbs. of active ingredient per 

gallon. This product is a contact insecticide used for the control of various insects. Tolfenpyrad 15EC

insecticide should be used in a program with other products to provide season long protection. Apply as 

a spray as directed in the “Application Directions” section of this label. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide contains tolfenpyrad which is classified by IRAC in Group 21Amitrochondrial electron transport inhibitors. Repeated use of the same chemistry has been shown to 

result in the buildup of resistant strains of insects. Rotate the use of Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide with 

alternate mode of action insecticides. 

Resistance management strategies recommend that you DO NOT apply rates lower than recommended 

on the label. For best results, do not make more applications of Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide than 

permitted on the label in a single crop cycle. Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop 

advisor for additional resistance management or IPM recommendations. Also, for more information about 

Insect Resistant Management (IRM), visit the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the 

web at http://www.irac-online.org. 

MIXING DIRECTIONS

Shake well before using. Read and follow all label directions for each tank mix product prior to any tank 

mixing with Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide. This product can be mixed with other registered pesticides. 

The most restrictive use directions and precautions must be followed. 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC Insecticide Alone: Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with 3⁄4 of the amount 

of water needed for the intended application and then turn on agitation. Pour recommended amount of 

product on the surface of water in the spray tank. Add the balance of the water to the spray tank with 

agitation running. Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be 

stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load. 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC Insecticide Tank Mixtures: Follow all use directions as listed above under 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC Insecticide Alone with the following exception: after the Tolfenpyrad 15EC 

insecticide is thoroughly mixed and the tank is 3⁄4 full, add the recommended amount of wettable powder, 

soluble powder, flowable, emulsifiable concentrate, or soluble liquid product, while maintaining 

agitation. Then continue adding water to the tank to achieve the desired level, while maintaining 

agitation. 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC Insecticide Tank Mixtures With Products in Water-Soluble Packaging: Follow all 

use directions as listed above under Tolfenpyrad 15EC Insecticide Alone with the following exception: 

add the desired number of water-soluble bags to the tank (if allowed by their label instructions) at the 

same time the Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide is added. Note: If using products in water soluble 

packaging, do not tank mix with products that contain boron, chromium, or other micronutrients. 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide is physically and biologically compatible with many registered pesticides, 

fertilizers or micronutrients. Contact your supplier for advice when considering mixing Tolfenpyrad 15EC 

insecticide with other pesticides, fertilizers or micronutrients. If you have no experience with the 

combination you are considering, you should conduct a test to determine physical compatibility. To 

determine physical compatibility, add the recommended proportions of each chemical with the same 

proportion of water, as will be present in the chemical supply tank, into a suitable container, mix 
Tolfenpyrad 15EC 061710

thoroughly and allow to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be readily remixed, the mixture is considered physically compatible. 

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 

GENERAL USE LIMITATIONS AND PRECAUTIONS 

Ornamental Crops Grown Under Greenhouse Conditions 

▪ In Florida, do not use on bearing or nonbearing commercial fruit trees and vines. 

▪ Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 

▪ Do not apply this product as a smoke or aerosol. 

▪ Do not apply this product to plants used for food or animal feed. 

▪ Do not apply to fruit trees and vines that will bear harvestable fruit within 12 months. 

Ornamental Crops Grown Under Greenhouse Conditions 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide is recommended for use on all ornamental crops grown under greenhouse 

conditions. These include those crops grown in greenhouses. The use directions of this product are 

based on the results of product testing programs on a wide variety of ornamental plants. However, it is 

impossible to test this product on all species and cultivars. The phytotoxicity of Tolfenpyrad 15EC

insecticide has been assessed on a wide variety of common ornamental plants with no phytotoxic effects. 

However, not all plant species and their varieties and cultivars have been tested with possible tankmix 

combinations, sequential pesticide treatments, and adjuvants and surfactants. Local conditions also can 

influence crop tolerance and may not match those under which testing has been conducted. Therefore, 

before using Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide, test the product on a sample of the crop to be treated to 

ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of applications. 

Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide works primarily through contact action, so good spray coverage is 

necessary for control of listed insects on the label. Applications should be made immediately after the 

spray solution is prepared. Under severe insect pressure, use the maximum rates and the shorter spray 

interval as specified on the label. Dense foliage or excessive growth will often prevent adequate 

coverage; adjust spray volumes accordingly. Mix with sufficient water and apply as a foliar spray to 

obtain uniform coverage. Treat plants when pests are immature or at a susceptible stage and populations 

are building, before crop damage occurs. 

Applications may be made with high or low volume spray equipment that provides thorough coverage of 

the plant. Apply with properly calibrated spray equipment. A wetting agent or other spray adjuvant, 

approved for use on the crop, may be added to spray solutions according to the manufacturer’s use 

instructions to achieve optimum control.
