MIXING DIRECTIONS Shake well before using. Read and follow all label dire ctions for each tank mix product prior to any tank mixing with Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide. This product can be mix ed 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 agitati on before spraying the remainder of the load.

Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide is physically and biologically co mpatible 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, yo u should conduct a test to deter mine 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 c hemical supply tank, into a suitable container, mixTolfenpyrad 15EC 061710 Page 4 of 6

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

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

GENERAL USE LIMITATI ONS 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 fr uit 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 green houses. 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 sp ecies 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 adju vants and surfactants. Local conditions also can influence crop tolerance and may not match those un der which testing has been conducted. Therefore, before using Tolfenpyrad 15EC insecticide, test the product on a sa mple 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 foli age 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.
