Note to physician: Early signs of intoxication include mydriaSiS ~dilated pupils), ataxia (unsteadiness), and 

muscle tremors. Toxicity follows accidental ingestion of the ABBA Ultra and can be minimized by promptly 

administering activated charcoal. If toxicity from exposure has progressed to cause severe vomiting, the extent of 

resultant fluid and electrolyte imbalance should be 'gauged. Appropriate supportive parenteral fluid replacement 

therapy should be given, along with other required supportive measures (such as maintenance of blood pressure 

levels and respiratory functionality) as ind'icated by clinical siQns, symptoms, and measurements. In severe cases,

observations should continue for at least several days until clinical condition is stable and normal. Since 

abamectin is believed to enhance GABA activity in animals, it is probably wise to avoid drugs that enhance GABA 

activi!YJbarbiturates, benzodiazepines, valproic acid) in patients with potentially toxic abamectin exposure.

CHEMIGATION STATEMENT 

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

USE RESTRICTIONS 

Do not apply ABBA Ultra by aerial application equipment in New York State. 

SPRAY DRIFT 

Responsibility: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 

many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible 

for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. 

NOTE: When states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Application with Aircraft or Ground Application Equipment 

• Apply ABBA Ultra only when wind velocity favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph). 

• Do not apply with ground application equipment within 25 ft of or with aircraft within 150 ft of lakes, reservoirs, 

rivers, permanent streams, marshes, pot holes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish farm ponds. 

• Do not cultivate within 25 ft of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. 

• Do not allow this product to drift onto non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to nontarget 

species. Risk of exposure to sens'rtive areas can be reduced by applying this product when the wind direction 'rs 

away from the sensitive area. 

• Do not apply when the weather conditions may cause drift. 

• Avoid application when the temperature is high and/or the humidity is low. These conditions increase the 

evaporation of spray droplets and the likelihood of drift to aquatic areas. 

• Do not apply when wind speed or wind gusts are greater than 15 mph. 

• Do not apply when wind speed is below 2 mph because wind direction will vary and there is a high potential for 

inversion. 

• Observe the following precautions when using ground application to spray tree crops (almonds, apples, 

avocado, citrus, pears, plums, prunes, and walnuts) or hops in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as lakes, 

reservoirs, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish ponds: 

Page 3 of 17

) 

Do not apply ABBA Ultra when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. 

Do not apply within 110 ft upwind of aquatic areas or when wind speed is above 8 mph. 

Spray last 3 rows upwind of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed 

away from the aquatic areas. 

- Avoid spray going over tops of trees by adjusting or turning off top nozzles. Shut off nozzles on 

the side away from the grove/orchard when spraying the outside row. Shut off nozzles when 

turning at ends of row and passing tree gaps in rows. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Aerial Application 

Drift Management Requirements 

The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial 

applications to agricultural field crops: 

Outermost Nozzle Distance 

The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 

Nozzle Direction 

Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 

degrees. 

Maximum Wind Speed 

Do not apply when wind speed is greater than 15 mph. 

Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large 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 manufacturer's 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 

Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other 

orientations and is the recommended practice. 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 10ft above the top of the target plants unless a greater 

height is required for aircraft safety. Making applJcations at the lowest height that is safe reduces exposure of 

droplets to evaporation and wind. 

Swath Adjustment 

When applications are made with a cross wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and 

downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusflng the path of the 

aircraft upwind. 

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 must 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. 

Page 4 of 17 

8
Temperature and Humidity 

To compensate for evaporation when applying ABBA Ultra in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce 

larger droplets. Evaporation of droplets is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions 

ABBA Ultra must not be applied during a temperature inversion because the potential for drift is high. 

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, and this causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a 

concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds that are 

common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by temperatures that increase with altitude 

and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. Inversions 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, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify 

inversions. 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. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

To minimize the potential development of pest resistance to abamectin, use of resistance management strategies 

is imperative, especially when applying ABBA Ultra to crops that are hosts of pests on this label that have multiple 

generations per crop or per year. Examples of resistance management may include but are not limited to the 

following: non-chemical alternatives (such as beneficial arthropods); rotating susceptible and non-susceptible 

plants; rotating uses of pesticides with different modes of action; avoiding use of the same product on successive 

generations of pests; use of various other cultural practices; and using labeled rates at specified spray intervals. 

Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service to obtain additional information regarding these or other 

resistance management strategies. 

CROP USE RECOMMENDATIONS 

ALMONDS AND WALNUTS 

For controlling strawberry spider mites, Pacific spider mites, two--spotted spider mites, and European red 

mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA Ultra when mites initially appear. To maintain control, make'a second application of ABBA Ultra after 

at least 21 days, if needed. Spray deposits on newer leaves (compared to older leaves) provide greater residual 

spider mite control. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to provide thorough coverage. 

Volume of spray will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough 

coverage to attain spider mite control. ABBA Ultra should be used with a Horticultural Spray Oil (not a dormant 

oil) that is approved for use on almonds and walnuts. If applications are made without Horticultural Spray Oil, 

reduced efficacy and/or reduced res'ldual control could result.

APPLES 

For controlling tentiform leafminers, white apple leafhoppers, European red mites, McDaniel spider mites, 

and two-spotted spider mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA Ultra when pest thresholds are reached. If necessary, make a second application after at least 21 

days to attain adequate control. 

White Apple Leafhopper (Do not use west of Rocky Mountains): Only apply ABBA Ultra to the first 

generation white apple leafhopper. Apply with a horticultural spray oil'" soon after petal fall. 

Spider Mites: Apply ABBA Ultra before the population reaches 5 spider mites per leaf. Residual control is 

improved when spray deposits are on newer leaves (compared to older leaves). Limit applications to the period 

between petal fall through six weeks after petal fall. 

Tentiform Leafminers~ Apply ABBA Ultra onto eggs to control new hatch and at early sap feeder stages of the 

first and second generations when leafminer populations reach locally established thresholds. Do not apply 

ABBA Ultra during bloom stage. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to produce thorough coverage. Spray 

volume will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough coverage to 

attain spider mite and insect control. Best results are attained when applied as directed in combination with 

Horticultural Spray Oil (not dormant oil) that has been approved for use on apples. If Horticultural Spray Oil is not 

used, reduced efficacy and/or reduced residual control could result 

See SPRAY DRIFT section of this label for spray drift precautions. 

ABBA Ultra may cause injury to fruit of some apple varieties when used with Horticultural Spray Oils or when 

other products are sequentially applied. For example, russetting may occur on Golden Delicious and other lightskinned varieties. Users should carefully follow the Directions For Use and Precautions on the labels of 

Horticultural Spray Oils or those in official spray guides when using ABBA Ultra in combination with Horticultural 

Spray Oils. For example, applications of ABBA Ultra with horticultural spray oil less than 14 days before or after a 

captan application can result in phytotoxicity.

AVOCADOS 

For controlling avocado thrips. 

ABBA Ultra may be applied using ground or aerial application equipment. Aerial application is permitted; however, 

aerial application is not the preferred method of application for the best control of thrips. Spray coverage and the 

resulting control of thrips when applied by air is less than with ground application. The user accepts all liability for 

the level and duration of control of thrips when ABBA Ultra is aerially applied. When applying by ground, use a 

minimum of 100 gallons of water per acre and when applying by air, use a minimum of 50 gallons of water per 

acre.

Aerial Application - Citrus Leafminer only: 

• Aerial application is permitted only for control of citrus leafminer 

• Do not apply with aircraft to citrus in California 

Ground Application 

• Apply ABBA Ultra using conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to provide 

thorough coverage (or outside coverage to control Asian citrus psytla, citrus thrips, and citrus leafminers). 

• Spray volume varies with the number and size of trees per acre, and also with foliage density. For good pest 

control, ensure thorough coverage. 

For controlling citrus rust mites, broad mites, citrus red mites, Texas citrus mites, two-spotted spider 

mites, citrus bud mites, Asian citrus psylla, citrus leafminers, and citrus thrips. 

Mites (other than citrus bud mites): Apply ABBA Ultra when mites initially appear in the spring, summer, 

andlor fall months. 

Citrus Bud Mites: Best results can be attained when ABBA Ultra is applied at "bud swelLH 

Asian Citrus Psyllid: ABBA Ultra should be applied to protect new growth during the spring, summer, or fall 

months but will only control adult and nymphs present at the time of application. 

Citrus Leafminers: ABBA Ultra should be applied to protect new growth during the spring, summer, or fall 

months. Ground or aerial application is permitted in all citrus areas except California. For aerial application, use a 

minimum of 10 gallons of finished spray volume per acre. Under conditions such as high pest populations, dense 

foliage, adverse application conditions (i.e., high temperatures) use a greater volume of water to insure adequate 

coverage. 

Citrus Thrips: Each application of ABBA Ultra only controls the current generation. Therefore, applications must 

be timed when economic thresholds have been reached-after eggs have begun to hatch, preferably at early to 

mid-hatch. 

Apply ABBA Ultra using conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to provide 

thorough coverage (or outside coverage to control Asian citrus psylla, citrus thrips, and citrus leafminers). Spray 

volume varies with the number and size of trees per acre, and also with foliage density. For good pest control, 

ensure thorough coverage. 

See SPRAY DRIFT section of this label for spray drift precautions. 

Unless specified differently below, apply ABBA Ultra with at least 1.6 pt Horticultural Spray Oil (not dormant

All. 

Attached is a revised registration notice for 66222-226. The label now includes the special grape RE! text 

and the registration notice is conditional and includes a number of ecological studies which you will need 

to either conduct or cite. These were relatively new changes to avermectin that I need to impose on PRIA 

actions as they are approved. 

I've dated the new registration notice 2/8/2011 so we can distinguish it from the initial, incorrect version 

dated 2/7/2011. There is also a note at the beginning of the reg notice regarding the correction. Unless 

you request a paper mailing, this email will constitute the official transmission of this act'lon. 

»» Please replace ALL copies of the 2/7/11 reg notice with the new one. If you wish, you can keep one 

copy (marked superseded) of the incorrect 2/7/11 reg notice in your product file along with an explanation 

of what happened. Please marked the 2/7/11 version as superseded so it does not accidentally get used. 

I will remove the 2/7/t1 reg notice from PPLS and replace it with the 2/8/11 version. 

Thank you very much for your help with this. Sorry about the confusion and any re~work I've caused.

Spray Drift Precautions for ith Aircraft or Ground Application Equipment 

• Apply ABBA Ultra only when ty favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph). 

• Do not apply with ground ap uipment within 25 ft of or with aircraft within 150 ft of lakes, reservoirs, 

rivers, permanent streams, ma t holes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish farm ponds, 

• Do not cultivate within 25 ft of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. 

• Do not allow this product to drift onto non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to nontarget 

species. Risk of exposure to sensitive areas can be reduced by applying this product when the wind direction is 

away from the sensitive area. 

• Do not apply when the weather conditions may cause drift. 

• Avoid application when the temperature is high and/or the humidity is low. These conditions increase the 

evaporation of spray droplets and the likelihood of drift to aquatic areas, 

• Do not apply when wind speed or wind gusts are greater than 15 mph. 

• Do not apply when wind speed is below 2 mph because wind direction will vary and there is a high potential for 

inversion. 

• Observe the following precautions when using ground application to spray tree crops (almonds, apples, 

avocado, citrus, pears, plums, prunes, and walnuts) or hops in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as lakes, 

reservoirs, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish ponds: 

Do not apply ABBA Ultra when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. 

Do not apply within 110ft upwind of aquatic areas or when wind speed is above 8 mph.

Spray last 3 rows upwind of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed 

away from the aquatic areas. 

Avoid spray going over tops of trees by adjusting or turning off top nozzles. Shut off nozzles on 

the side away from the grove/orchard when spraying the outside row. Shut off nozzles when 

turning at ends of row and passing tree gaps in rows. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Aerial Application 

Drift Management Requirements 

The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial 

applications to agricultural field crops: 

Outermost Nozzle Distance 

The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 

Nozzle Direction 

Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 

degrees. 

Maximum Wind Speed 

Do not apply when wind speed is greater than 15 mph. 

Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large 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 I or under unfavorable environmental 

conditions {see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Tem"era'"",

width. 

Applications should not be made at a height greater than 1 0 ft 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 cross wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and 

downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the 

aircraft upwind. 

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 must 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 

To compensate for evaporation when applying ABBA Ultra in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce 

larger droplets. Evaporation of droplets is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions 

ABBA Ultra must not be applied during a temperature inversion because the potential for drift is high. 

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, and this causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a 

concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds that are 

common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by temperatures that increase with altitude 

and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. Inversions 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, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify 

inversions. 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. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

To minimize the potential development of pest resistance to abamectin, use of resistance management strategies 

is imperative, especially when applying ABBA Ultra to crops that are hosts of pests on this label that have multiple 

generations per crop or per year. Examples of resistance management may include but are not limited to the 

following: non-chemical alternatives (such as beneficial rotating susceptible and non-susceptible 

plants; rotating uses of pesticides with different modes of action; the same product on successive 

generations of pests; use of various other cultural practices; and at specified spray intervals. 

Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service to obtain regarding these or other 

resistance management strategies.

APPLES 

For controlling tentiform leafminers, white apple leafhoppers, European red mites, McDaniel spider mites, 

and two-spotted spider mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA Ultra when pest thresholds are reached. If necessary, make a second application after at least 21 

days to attain adequate control. 

White Apple Leafhopper (Do not use west of Rocky Mountains): Only apply ABBA ultra to the first 

generation white apple leafhopper. Apply with a horticultural spray oil* soon after petal fall. 

Spider Mites: Apply ABBA Ultra before the population reaches 5 spider mites per leaf. Residual control is 

improved when spray deposits are on newer leaves (compared to older leaves). Limit applications to the period 

between petal fall through six weeks after petal fall. 

Tentiform Leafminers: Apply ABBA Ultra onto eggs to control new hatch and at early sap feeder stages of the 

first and second generations when leafminer populations reach locally established thresholds. Do not apply 

ABBA Ultra during bloom stage. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to produce thorough coverage. Spray 

volume will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough coverage to

For controlling carmine spi friomyza leafminers, and two-spotted spider mite. 

Leafminers: Apply when adult first observed and repeat applications as needed to maintain control (see 

Use Restrictions). 

Spider mites: Apply when mites first appear, and repeat as needed to maintain control (see Use Restrictions). 

Apply as a foliar spray in at least 20 gallons of water per acre by ground or in at least 5 gallons per acre by air. 

Under conditions such as high pest populations, dense foliage, high temperatures, or other such adverse 

application situations, use a greater water volume to ensure adequate coverage. Thorough coverage of the crop 

canopy is essential. With aerial application, spray coverage and the resulting control of mites is less than when 

using ground application equipment. For this reason, the user accepts all liability for the level and duration of 

control of mites when ABBA Ultra is aerially applied. Use the lower rates for low to moderate infestations and the 

higher rate for severe infestations. Do not apply ABBA Ultra by aerial application equipment in New York State. 

ABBA Ultra may be used without a wetting agent. Spreading and penetrat"lng surfactants can improve insect 

control when necessary to improve the wetting of foliage and to smooth out spray deposits, a nonionic surfactant 

is recommended. Do not use binder or sticker-type surfactants.

POTATOES 

For controlling Colorado potato beetles, Uriomyza leafminers, Potato psyllid and Spider mites. 

Colorado potato beetles: Apply ABBA Ultra when 50% of egg masses have hatched and larvae are observed. 

If two applications are planned, they should be restricted to a single Colorado potato beetle generation per 

season, and intervals of at least 7 days should be observed. For low to moderate infestations, use 4 fl oz per 

acre; for severe infestations, use 8 fl oz per acre. Do not exceed 2 applications per season. 

Liriomyza leafminers: Initial application should be made when adult flies are first seen. Repeat applications as 

necessary to maintain control (see Use Restrictions) so long as there is a minimum of 7M day intervals between 

applications. For low to moderate infestations, use 4 fl oz per acre; for severe infestations, use 8 ft oz per acre. 

Spider mites: Apply the first application when mites first appear. Repeat applications as necessary to maintain 

control (see Use Restrictions) so long as there is a minimum of 7Mday intervals between applications. For low to 

moderate infestations, use 4 fl oz per acre; for severe infestations, use 8 fl oz per acre.

Apply as a foliar spray in at least 20 gallons of water per acre by ground or in at least 5 gallons per acre by air. 

Under conditions such as high pest populations, dense or rank foliage, high temperatures or other such adverse 

application situations, use a greater water volume to ensure adequate coverage. For best results, ensure that 

good upper and lower leaf coverage is attained. To optimize pest control, add an organosilicone-based surfactant 

or non-ionic surfactant at the manufacturer's recommended rate. Effectiveness may be reduced 'If ABBA Ultra is 

used with a binder or sticker type product (such as Bravo® Weather Stik®). Do not apply ABBA Ultra by aerial

Jennifer, 

I've finished going through you application for new avermectin product 

66222-EEA. Everything is good except for one quick label edit. Please 

make the change below and email me back a text .pdf of the revised 

label. 

Required label correction: 

1) Delete "low VOC* *volatile organic compounds" from page 1. 

This is a little odd. California is pushing low VOC formulas and while 

I'm not aware of a specific EPA policy, I'm sure EPA would also be happy 

with more low VOC formulas. So you reduced the VOCs and you want to 

mention it on the label. What could be wrong? Let's back up. I'm sure 

you know that EPA will not allow anything on a label that is "false or 

misleading". The" low VOC" claim could be interpreted as an implied 

safety claim which could fall into the misleading category. However, 

EPA will allow text that is a statement of fact and that could 

circumvent any concern with the implied safety claim. However, here's 

where we run into the problem. Turns out there is no industry or 

government definition of exactly what chemicals are VOCS much less what 

is a "low" level of them. opp is certainly willing to work with other 

government and with chemical manufacturers to create these definitions 

but we're just starting to move in this direction. I understand our 

antimicrobial division has worked with the antifouling paint industry on 

this issue. I hope we continue more discussions and come to some 

conclusions. For the moment, just delete the claim. 

Just email me back a revised PDF label and I'll get this stamped for 

you.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In an acute oral toxicity study (MRID 48158704), six fasted, 

female Sprague-Dawley albino rats (age: 8-10 weeks; weight: 158-201 g; source: Texas Animal 

Specialties, Humble, TX) were given single doses of undiluted ABBA 0.30 ME (Abamectin 

Batch No. 10022201 MANA; 3.80% abamectin; density 0.9330 glmL; amber liquid). An 

individual dose was calculated for each animal based on its fasted body weight and administered 

by gavage. A Main Test was conducted according to the up and down procedure using doses 

based on the Sponsor's estimation of the LDso as 416 mglkg. The starting dose was 132 mg/kg. 

A total of six animals were dosed at either 132 or 420 mg/kg. The animals were observed for 14 

days. 

The animals dosed at 132 mglkg survived and gained weight. Clinical signs of gross toxicity 

included activity decrease and body tremors on the day of dosing. The three animals dosed at 

420 mglkg died on days 1 and 3. Prior to death, toxic signs included activity decrease, body 

tremors, nasal discharge and sensitivity to sound/touch. Gross necropsy of the decedents 

revealed red crust on muzzle; crust around the eyes, yellow Crust on abdomen, muzzle fur 

matted and red, bright red lungs, black liver, stomach andlor intestines empty or green paste in 

the stomach. No gross abnormalities were noted for any of the euthanized animals when 

necropsied at the end of the study. 

LDso Females ~ 236 mg/kg bw (95% confidence interval of 132-420 mglkg) 

Based on the acute oral LDso, ABBA 0.30 ME is in EPA Toxicity Category II. 

This study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirements for an acute oral 

study (OPPTS 870.1100; OECD 425) in the rat.

Statistical Analysis: The Acute Oral Toxicity (Guideline 425) Statistical Program (Westat, 

version 1.0, May 2001) was used for all data analyses including: dose progression selections, 

stopping criteria determinations and/or LD50 and confidence limit calculations. 

A. Mortality: The three animals dosed at 420 mg/kg died on days 1 and 3. 

B. Clinical observations: The animals dosed at 132 mglkg survived and gained weight. 

Clinical signs of gross toxicity included activity decrease and body tremors on the day of 

dosing. The three animals dosed at 420 mglkg died on days 1 and 3. Prior to death, toxic 

signs included activity decrease, body tremors, nasal discharge and sensitivity to 

sound/touch. 

C. Gross necropsy: Gross necropsy of the decedents revealed red crust on muzzle; crust around 

the eyes, yellow crust on abdomen, muzzle fur matted and red, bright red lungs, black liver, 

stomach and/or intestines empty or green paste in the stomach. No gross abnormalities were 

noted for any of the euthanized animals when necropsied at the end of the study. 

D. Reviewer's conclusions: In agreement with the study author, the acute oral LD50 for 

females - 236 mglkg. This places the test material in EPA Toxicity Category II.

Sprague-Dawley albino rats (5/sex; age: approximately 9-10 weeks; body weight: males: 281-

320 g and females: 178-192 g; source: Texas Animal Specialties, Humble, TX) were dermally 

exposed for 24 hours on an area of approximately 10% of the total body surface area on the 

clipped dorsal trunk to ABBA 0.30 ME (Abamectin Batch No. 10022201 MANA; 3.80% 

abamectin; density 0.9330 glmL; amber liquid). All animals were treated with 2020 mg/kg of the 

test substance as received. An individual dose was calculated for each animal based on its body 

weight just before exposure. The test substance was applied evenly over the dose area in a thin, 

uniform layer and covered with a gauze pad and secured with non-irritating adhesive tape. The 

gauze and the trunk were wrapped with vet wrap and secured with non-irritating adhesive tape. 

After 24 hours, the \\'Tappings were removed and the test sites were gently washed. The animals 

were observed for 14 days, 

All animals survived the study, All animals appeared normal and gained weight throughout the 

study. No observable abnormalities were noted from any animal at necropsy.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In an acute inhalation toxicity study (MRlD 48158706), young 

adult Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex/group; age: approximately 8-9 weeks; body weight: males: 

252-283 g and females: 176-197 g; source: Texas Animal Specialties, Humble, TX) were 

exposed by nose-only inhalation to ABBA 0.30 ME (Abamectin Batch No. 10022201 MANA; 

3.80% abamectin; density 0.9330 g/mL; amber liquid) at a concentration of 2.17 mglL. The 

animals were exposed to an aerosol generated from the diluted test substance for a period of 

4hours. The animals were observed for 14 days. The MMADs were 3.5 and 4.0 flm and the 

GSD 4.3 and 4.2 at 1 and 2 hours, respectively. 

One female died on day 1 of the study. All animals including the decedent exhibited 

piloerection, acitivity decrease and body tremors. The survivors recovered from these symptoms 

by day 7 and gained weight during the study. At necropsy, the animal that died on test had red 

crust on the muzzle and dark red, swollen lungs. No observable abnormalities were noted for the 

animals surviving to study termination.

Test Atmosphere I Chamber Description: The aerosol was generated by pumping the test 

substance into a pressure operated Spraying System Company air atomizer, then spraying the 

resulting aerosol directly into the exposure chamber. Air flow was maintained at a rate of26.2 

air changes per hour and was sufficient to ensure an oxygen content of at least 19% of the 

exposure atmosphere. A 500 L nose-only stainless steel, dynamic flow inhalation chamber was 

utilized in the study. Polycarbonate tubes were inserted into individual ports where the animals 

were held. The test material was introduced through the opening in the top of the chamber and 

air flow exited the chamber at the bottom.

Total Airflow (LImin): 218 

Temperature 23.5-24.9°C 

Relative Humidity 42.5-49.2% 

Time to equilibrium: 11 minutes 

Test atmosphere concentration: The concentration of test substance in the exposure 

atmosphere (taken from the breathing zone of the animals) was detennined analytically once per 

hour and nominally at the end of exposure. The analytical determination was m de using a 

Genesys 5 UV Spectrophometer. The nominal concentration was determined by dividing the loss 

in weight of the test material after exposure by the total volume of air that passed through the 

chamber. 

Particle size determination: Particle size for each exposure concentration was determined 

twice using a cascade impactor, collected at a rate of2.9 Llminute for 30 seconds. The mass 

median aerodynamic diameter and particle size distributions were calculated by a computer 

program using probit analysis. 

A. Mortality: One female died on day I of the study.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: In a primary eye irritation study (MRID 48158707), 0.1 mL of 

undiluted ABBA 0.30 ME (Abameetin Batch No. 10022201 MANA; 3.80% abarneetin; density 

0.9330 g/mL; pH 7.11; amber liquid) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of 

one male, and two female young adult New Zealand White albino rabbits (age: approximately 11 

weeks; source: Myrtle's Rabbitry Inc., Thompsons Station, TN). The untreated eye served as a 

control. Prior to dosing, both eyes of each animal were anesthetized with Tetracaine Ophthalmic 

Solution 0.5%. The animals were observed at 1,24,48 and 72 hours post instillation and scored 

according to Draize. 

Positive conjunctival irritation (redness) was noted in 3/3 eyes one hour after test material 

instillation. One eye exhibited corneal opacity at the 24 hour scoring. No positive scores were 

noted at 48 hours and all eyes were free of irritation by 72 hours. 

ABBA 0.30 ME is classified as EPA Toxicity Category III for primary eye irritation. 

This study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirements for a primary 

eye irritation study (OPPTS 870.2400; OECD 405) in the rabbit.

and two female young adult New Zealand White albino rabbits (source: Nichols Rabbitry Inc., 

Lumberton, TX) were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted ABBA 0.30 ME (Abamectin 

Batch No. 1002220 I MANA; 3.80% abamectin; density 0.9330 glmL; pH 7.11; amber liquid) 

for 4 hours. The test substance was applied on an area of the clipped dorsal skin (8 x 8 ern) and 

covered with a 2.5 x 2.5 em gauze patch. The patch and trunk were wrapped with semipermeable dressing and secured with strips of tape. The animals were observed and irritation 

was scored at I, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days after patch removal. 

No edema was noted. Very slight to well defined erythema was noted at all three test sites from 

the one hour scoring through 48 hours. At 72 hours, the irritation had cleared from one site, one 

site had very slight erythema and one site had well defined erythema. All sites were free of 

irritation by day 7. In addition, atonia was noted at one site at 72 hours and desquamation was 

noted at two sites between 72 hours and day 7. 

In this study, the formulation is slightly irritating. ABBA 0.30 ME is classified as EPA 

Toxicity Category IV for primary dermal irritation. 

This study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfY the guideline requirements for a primary

approximately 6-7 weeks; body weight: males: 388-474 g; females: 342-427 g; source; Charles 

River Laboratories, Wilmington, MA) were tested using the Buehler Method. The test animals 

were induced with 0.4 mL of the undiluted test material applied beneath a surgical gauze patch to 

the clipped back at the left front quadrant if each test animal for six hours. The procedure was 

repeated once each week for three consecutive weeks. After a two week rest period, both the test 

and naive control animals were challenged with 0.4 mL of undiluted test material at a naive site 

on the right rear quadrant of each animal. Reactions were scored 24 and after each treatment and 

48 hours after the first induction and after the challenge treatment. 

After three consecutive weekly inductions, no dermal reactions were noted from any animal after 

challenge. 

Based on the results of this study, ABBA 0.30 ME is not a dermal sensitizer. 

ThIs study is classified as acceptable. It does satisfy the guideline requirements for a dermal 

sensitization study (OPPTS 870.2600; OEeD 406) in the guinea pig.

PROCEDURE: 

) 

A. Induction: The animals were induced and challenged according to the Buehler method. The 

backs of the animals were clipped one day prior to each treatment. For the induction, the 20 

test animals were induced with 0.4 mL of the undiluted test material applied beneath a 4 ply, 

2.5 x 2.5 em surgical gauze patch to the clipped back at the left front quadrant and secured 

with non-irritating adhesive tape. A strip of clear polyethylene film was placed over the 

patch and securely taped. Each animal was then placed in a restrainer. After approximately 

six hours, the animals were removed from the restrainer and the coverings were removed. 

The induction was perfonned once each week for three weeks. Reactions were scored 24 and 

48 hours after the first induction and 24 hours after the second and third inductions, One 

males was found dead on day 8 and therefore, was not treated in the second and third 

inductions, The death was not considered to be treatment related, 

B. Challenge: After a two week rest period, the animals were challenged using the highest non M 

irritating concentration of test material. The backs of the animals were clipped one day prior 

to challenge, The test animals were challenged with 0.4 mL of the undiluted test material at 

a naive site (right rear quadrant) and secured with non-irritating adhesive tape, After six 

hours of exposure, reactions were scored 24 and 48 hours after exposure, 

C. Naive control: The naive control animals were not treated during the induction phase, The 

backs of the animals were clipped one day prior to challenge, The naive control animals 

were challenged with 0.4 mL of the undiluted test material. After six hours of exposure, 

reactions were scored 24 and 48 hours after exposure. 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: 

A. Reactions and durations: Very faint to faint erythma was noted at 3/19 test animal sites 

during the third induction. No dermal irritation was noted on any test or naive control animal 

after challenge, 

B. Positive control: The report included the results of a positive control study # 13443 M

09 

conducted within six months ofthe current study. The test material was alphahexylcinnamaldehyde, technical. The results were appropriate, 

c. Reviewer's conclusion: This reviewer agrees with the study author that based on the study 

results, the test material is not a dennal sensitizer.

Thomas Harris 0 Jennifer Ventel 02/07/201101:28 PM 

I've finished going through you application for new avermectin product 66222~EEA. Everything is good 

except for one quick label edit. Please make the change below and email me back a text .pdf of the 

revised label. 

Required label correction: 

1) Delete "low VOC* *volatile organic compounds" from page 1. 

This is a little odd. California is pushing low vac formulas and while I'm not aware of a specific EPA 

policy, I'm sure EPA would also be happy with more low vac formulas. So you reduced the vacs and 

you want to mention it on the label. What could be wrong? Let's back up. I'm sure you know that EPA will 

not allow anything on a label that is "false or misleading". The "low vac" claim could be interpreted as an 

implied safety claim which could fait into the misleading category. However, EPA witt altow text that is a 

statement of fact and that could circumvent any concern with the implied safety claim. However, here's 

where we run into the problem. Turns out there is no industry or government definition of exactly what 

chemicals are VOCs much less what is a "low" level of them. app is certainly willing to work with other 

government and with chemical manufacturers to create these definitions but we're just starting to move in 

this direction. I understand our antimicrobial division has worked with the antifouling paint industry on this 

issue. I hope we continue more discussions and come to some conclusions. For the moment, just delete 

the claim. 

Just email me back a revised PDF label and I'll get this stamped for you.

SPRAY DRIFT 

Responsibility: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 

many equipment- and weather-related factors dete~mine the potential for spray drift. The a~licator is responsible 

for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. 

NOTE: When states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Application with Aircraft or Ground Application Equipment 

• .a'fi,sly MiilA 9.1 i Mi only when wind velocity favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph). 

• Do not apply with ground application equipment within 25 ft of or with aircraft within 150 ft of lakes, reservoirs, 

rivers, permanent streams, marshes, pot holes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish farm ponds. 

• Do not cultivate within 25 ft of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. 

• Do not allow this product to drift onto non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to nontarget 

species. Risk of exposure to sensitive areas can be reduced by applying this product when the wind direction is 

away from the sensitive area. 

• Do not apply when the weather conditions may cause drift. 

• Avoid application when the temperature is high and/or the humidity is low. These conditions increase the 

evaporation of spray droplets and the likelihood of drift to aquatic areas. 

• Do not apply when wind speed or wind gusts are greater than 15 mph. 

• Do not apply when wind speed is below 2 mph because wind direction will vary and there is a high potential for 

inversion. 

Page 3 of ... 73
• Observe the following precautions when using ground application to spray tree crops (almonds, apples, 

avocado, citrus, pears, plums, prunes, and walnuts) or hops in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as lakes, 

reservoirs, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish ponds: 

Qa ~at iajijily Aii" 0.1 Ii M. when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. 

Do not apply within 110ft upwind of aquatic areas or when wind speed is above 8 mph. 

Spray last 3 rows upwind of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed 

away from the aquatic areas. 

Avoid spray going over tops of trees by adjusting or turning off top nozzles. Shut off nozzles on 

the side away from the grove/orchard when spraying the outside row. Shut off nozzles when 

turning at ends of row and passing tree gaps in rows. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Aerial Application 

Drift Management Requirements 

The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial 

applications to agricultural field crops: 

Outermost Nozzle Distance 

The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 

Nozzle Direction 

Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 

degrees. 

Maximum Wind Speed 

Do not apply when wind speed is greater than 15 mph. 

Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large 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 manufacturer's 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 

Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other 

orientations and is the recommended practice. 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 10ft 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 cross wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and 

downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the 

aircraft upwind. 

Rllgo 1 if 1i 

74
\ 

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 must 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 

To compensate for evaporation when applying ABBA 9.16 ME in low relative humidity, set up equipment to 

produce larger droplets. Evaporation of droplets is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions 

ABBA 9.16 ME must not be applied during a temperature inversion because the potential for drift is high. 

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, and this causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a 

concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds that are 

common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by temperatures that increase with altitude 

and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. Inversions 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, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify 

inversions. 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. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

To minimize the potential development of pest resistance to abamectin, use of resistance management strategies 

is imperative, especially when applying ABBA Q.16 ME to crops that are hosts of pests on this label that have 

multiple generations per crop or per year. Examples of resistance management may include but are not limited to 

the following: non-chemical alternatives (such as beneficial arthropods); rotating susceptible and non-susceptible 

plants; rotating uses of pesticides with different modes of action; avoiding use of the same product on successive 

generations of pests; use of various other cultural practices; and using labeled rates at specified spray intervals. 

Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service to obtain additional information regarding these or other 

resistance management strategies. 

CROP USE RECOMMENDATIONS 

ALMONDS AND WALNUTS 

For contrOlling strawberry spider mites, Pacific spider mites, two-spotted spider mites, and European red 

mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA 9.16 ME when mites initially appear. To m.aintain control, make a second application of ABBA 946 

Me after at least 21 days, if needed. Spray deposits on newer leaves (compared to older leaves) provide greater 

residual spider mite control. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to provide thorough coverage. 

Volume of spray will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough 

coverage to attain spider mite control. ABBA Q.11i ME should be used with a Horticultural Spray Oil (not a 

dormant oil) that is approved for use on almonds and walnuts. If applications are made without Horticultural 

Spray Oil, reduced efficacy and/or reduced residual control could result.

APPLES 

For controlling tentiform leafminers, white apple leafhoppers, European red mites, McDaniel spider mites, 

and two-spotted spider mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA 9.18 ME when pest thresholds are reached. If necessary, make a second application after at least 

21 days to attain adequate control. 

White Apple Leafhopper (Do not use west of Rocky Mountains): Only apply ABBA 9.16 ME to the first 

generation white apple leafhopper. Apply with a horticultural spray oil* soon after petal fall. 

Spider Mites: Apply ABBA 9.16 ME! before the population reaches 5 spider mites per leaf. Residual control is 

improved when spray deposits are on newer leaves (compared to older leaves). Limit applications to the period 

between petal fall through six weeks after petal fall. 

Tentiform Leafminers: Apply ABBA 9.18 ME! onto eggs to control new hatch and at early sap feeder stages of 

the first and second generations when leafminer populations reach locally established thresholds. Do not apply 

ABBA 9.16 P,4E during bloom stage. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to produce thorough coverage. Spray 

volume will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough coverage to 

attain spider mite and insect control. Best results are attained when applied as directed in combination with 

Horticultural Spray Oil (not dormant oil) that has been approved for use on apples. If Horticultural Spray Oil is not 

used, reduced efficacy andlor reduced residual control could result. 

See SPRAY DRIFT section of this label for spray drift precautions. 

ABBA O.1Ii Miii may cause injury to fruit of some apple varieties when used with Horticultural Spray Oils or when 

other products are sequentially applied. For example, russetting may occur on Golden Delicious and other light~ 

skinned varieties. Users should carefully follow the Directions For Use and Precautions on the labels of 

Horticultural Spray Oils or those in official spray guides when using ABBA 9.18 Me: in combination with 

Horticultural Spray Oils. For example, applications of ABBA Q.1 R Mii with horticultural spray oil less than 14 days 

before or after a captan application can result in phytotoxicity.

USE RESTRICTIONS 

Do not apply ABBA l.l.lti:a by aerial application equipment in New York State. 

SPRAY DRIFT 

Responsibility: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 

many equipment~ and weather~related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible 

for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. 

NOTE: When states have more stringent regulations, they must be obselVed. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Application with Aircraft or Ground Application Equipment 

.. Apply ABBA! !!tea only when wind velocity favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph) . 

.. Do not apply with ground application equipment within 25 ft of or with aircraft within 150 ft of lakes, reservoirs, 

rivers, permanent streams, marshes, pot holes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish farm ponds . 

.. Do not CUltivate within 25 ft of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip . 

.. Do not allow this product to drift onto non~target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to nontarget 

species. Risk of exposure to sensitive areas can be reduced by applying this product when the wind direction is 

away from the sensitive area . 

.. Do not apply when the weather cond"!tions may cause drift. 

& Avoid application when the temperature is high and/or the humidity is low. These conditions increase the 

evaporation of spray droplets and the likelihood of drift to aquatic areas . 

.. Do not apply when wind speed or wind gusts are greater than 15 mph. 

& Do not apply when wind speed is below 2 mph because wind direction will vary and there is a high potential for 

inversion. 

& ObselVe the following precautions when using ground application to spray tree crops (almonds, apples, 

avocado, citrus, pears, plums, prunes, and walnuts) or hops in the vicinlty of aquatic areas such as lakes, 

reselVoirs, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish ponds: 

;;;;; DO oot apply ABBA I IItea when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. 

... Do not apply within 110 ft upwind of aquatic areas or when wind speed is above 8 mph. 

Page 3 of 16 ABBA Imp 166222_xxx) (SI!bmijted to EPA 07_16_10) II Y 

89
... Spray last 3 rows upwind of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed 

away from the aquatic areas. 

.. Avoid spray going over tops of trees by adjusting or turning off top nozzles. Shut off nozzles on 

the side away from the grove/orchard when spraying the outside row, Shut off nozzles when 

turning at ends of row and passing tree gaps in rows. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Aerial Application 

Drift Management Requirements 

The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial 

applications to agricultural field crops: 

Outermost Nozzle Distance 

The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 

Nozzle Direction 

Nozzies must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 

degrees. 

Maximum Wind Speed 

Do not apply when wind speed is greater than 15 mph. 

Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large 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 manufacturer's 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 

Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other 

orientations and is the recommended practice. 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 10ft 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 cross wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and 

downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the 

aircraft upwind. 

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 must 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. 

Page 4 pi 16 ABBA I"tra ffi62??_Yrx) ($"bmjtte4 10 EpA QI-16.1OJ II V 

90
Temperature and Humidity 

To compensate for evaporation when applying ABBA l..LI1t:a in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce 

larger droplets. Evaporation of droplets is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions 

ABBA .LJJ.1ta must not be applied during a temperature inversion because the potential for drift is high. 

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, and this causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a 

concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds that are 

common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by temperatures that increase with altitude 

and are common on nights with nmited cloud cover and light to no wind. Inversions 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, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify 

inversions. 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. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

To minimize the potential development of pest resistance to abamectin, use of resistance management strategies 

is imperative, especially when applying ABBA l.JJ.b:a to crops that are hosts of pests on this label that have multiple 

generations per crop or per year. Examples of resistance management may include but are not limited to the 

following: non·chemical alternatives (such as beneficial arthropods); rotating susceptible and non·susceptible 

plants; rotating uses of pesticides with different modes of action; avoiding use of the same product on successive 

generations of pests; use of various other cultural practices; and using labeled rates at specified spray intervals. 

Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service to obtain additional information regarding these or other 

resistance management strategies. 

CROP USE RECOMMENDATIONS 

ALMONDS AND WALNUTS 

For controlling strawberry spider mites, Pacific spider mites, two-spotted spider mites, and European red 

mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA llI.tI:a when mites initially appear. To maintain control, make a second application of ABBA.I..1.l1i:a after 

at least 21 days, if needed. Spray deposits on newer leaves (compared to older leaves) provide greater residual 

spider m'lte control. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to provide thorough coverage. 

Volume of spray will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough 

coverage to attain spider mite control. ABBA!.l.I1La should be used with a Horticuaural Spray Oil (not a dormant 

oil) that is approved for use on almonds and walnuts. If applications are made without Horticultural Spray Oil, 

reduced efficacy and/or reduced residual control could result.

APPLES 

For controlling tentiform leafminers, white apple leafhoppers, European red mites, McDaniel spider mites, 

and two~spotted spider mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA ll11:.I;a when pest thresholds are reached. If necessary, make a second application after at least 21 

days to attain adequate control. 

White Apple Leafhopper (Do not use west of Rocky Mountains): Only apply ABBA llitJ:a to the first 

generation white apple leafhopper. Apply with a horticultural spray oil* soon after petal fall. 

Spider Mites: Apply ABBA llI1i:a before the population reaches 5 spider mites per leaf. Residual control is 

improved when spray deposits are on newer leaves (compared to older leaves). Limit applications to the period 

between petal fall through six weeks after petal fall. 

Tentiform Leafminers: Apply ABBA.L.lltta onto eggs to control new hatch and at early sap feeder stages of the 

first and second generations when leafminer populations reach locally established thresholds. Do not apply 

ABBA.lJ.Jira during bloom stage. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to produce thorough coverage. Spray 

volume will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough coverage to 

attain spider mite and insect control. Best results are attained when applied as directed in combination with 

Horticultural Spray Oil (not dormant oil) that has been approved for use on apples. If Horticultural Spray Oll is not 

used, reduced efficacy and/or reduced residual control could result. 

See SPRAY DRIFT section of this label for spray drift precautions. 

ABBA .L.J.l1ta may cause injury to fruit of some apple varieties when used with Horticultural Spray Oils or when 

other products are sequentially applied. For example, russetting may occur on Golden Delicious and other lightskinned varieties. Users should carefully follow the Directions For Use and Precautions on the labels of 

Horticultural Spray Oils or those in official spray guides when using ABBA l.J.l1!:a in combination with Horticultural 

Spray Oils. For example, applications of ABBA ~ with horticultural spray oil less than 14 days before or after a

Per your request attached is a revised basic CSF for Abba Ultra listing only 

one producer of the formula and one supplier for each of the components in the 

formulation. Please note that this revised basic CSF replaces the basic CSF 

dated 07-16-2010 which was submitted with the application for registration. 

In addition to the revised basic eSF, we are also submitting an alternate CSF 

which includes the producer and suppliers listed on the basic CSF in addition 

to the alternate formulation facilities and ingredient suppliers. 

Please let me know if there are any additional issues with these CSFs or if 

you need anything else. 

Best regards,

Tom. 

Thank you for your explanation below. 

would the scenario described below meet your needs? 

We revise the basic CSF so that it has only one producer/one supplier 

listed, but the alternate CSF would have all of the producers and all of 

the suppliers? That way EPA would have a cleaner basic CSF for the 

similarity comparison and we could still have a comprehensive CSF for 

our records. 

Let me know what you think.

Jennifer, 

TO be honest, this policy is still in a bit of flux but it's a simple 

thing to do so I'm asking registrants to start doing it. The reason has 

to do with "me-too's" and "100%- repacks". For EPA to verify that 

something is similar to or the same as something else we need to compare 

the CSFs. That seems simple until you realize that a similar product 

may have several formulas or that a 100% repack may be repacking several 

sources each with several formulations (that's another hot topic I won't 

go into here!). We quickly find ourselves buried in CSFs to compare. 

Our chemists have suggested the new idea that a basic CSF should 

include one source for all ingredients, one producer, etc. All the "OR" 

situations would go on alternate CSFs {can be combined on one alternate 

CSF for shorthand). EPA will then look only as far as the basic 

formulas when comparing for similarity or 100% repack and will not 

branch off into the myriad of trails that the alternates can lead to. 

Hope that helps.

Dear Tom, 

Before I forward the modified basic and new alternate CSFs per your 

instructions below, we were wondering why this is necessary. MANA's 

logic for listing multiple producers and suppliers on one Basic CSF is 

to streamline not only our records but EPA's as well and eliminate any 

confusion that might be caused by having multiple CSFs. We would 

appreciate hearing your thoughts on this.

I'm in-processing your application for a new low VOC avermectin product 

with -2x the usual active ingredient (application rates adjusted to 

result in same net to crop). In looking at the CSF I noticed a couple 

of things that will need to be corrected before I can send it to review.

Dear Mr. Harris, 

Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc. is requesting registration of the above referenced 

product. This product is similar to an already registered Makhteshim Agan of North America, 

Inc. product, ABBA 0.15ME (EPA Reg. No. 66222-191). The use sites on the ABBA Ultra label are 

identical to those on the ABBA 0.15 ME label however, ABBA Ultra has a higher concentration 

of the active ingredient abamectin (0.30 Ibs/galion vs. 0.15Ibs/galion). The use rates on the 

ABBA Ultra label have been adjusted so that the amount of active ingredient used per 

application and per season are the same as the ABBA 0.15 ME label while the amount of 

formulated product used per acre has been reduced to reflect the higher active ingredient 

formulation of ABBA Ultra. 

In support of this submission, the following documents are attached: 

• PRIA Payment Confirmation 

• Application for Pesticide Registration (EPA Form 8570-1) 

• Formulator's Exemption (EPA Form 8570-27)

'N/A - Not Applicable 

Footnotes 

A During the 21 day initial content review, all CSFs will be reviewed to detenuine 

whether all inerts listed, including fragrances, are approved for the proposed uses. If an 

unapproved inert is identified, the applicant must either 1) resolve the inert issue by, for 

example, removing the inert, substituting it with an approved inert, submitting 

documentation that EPA approved the inert for the proposed pesticidal uses, correcting 

mistakes on the CSF, etc. or 2) provide the data to support OPP approval of the inert or 3) 

withdraw the application. Removing or substituting an inert ingredient will require a new 

CSF and may require submission of data. All information, fonus, data and 

documentation resolving the inert issue must have been received by the Agency or the 

application withdrawn within the 21 day period, otherwise. the Agency will reiectthe 

application as described below. 

To successfuUy campI ete this aspect of the 21 day initial content screen, applicants are 

strongly encouraged to verify that all inert ingredients have been approved for the 

application's uses even if a product is currently registered by consulting the inert Web 

3 

120
site [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOl/inerts/lists.htmIJ and if the inert is not 

approved, to obtain the necessary inert approval prior to submitting an application 

to register a pesticide product containing that inert ingredient. Some inert 

ingredients are no longer approved for food uses or certain types of uses. The name 

and/or CAS number on a CSF must match the name and CAS number on this web site. 

Simple typographical errors in the name or CAS number have resulted in processing 

delays. 

If an inert is not listed on the inert ingredient web site and the applicant believes that the 

inert has been approved, the applicant should contact the Inert Ingredient Assessment 

Branch (lIAB) at inertsbranch@eua.govandresolve the issue. Copies of the 

correspondence with IIAB resolving the issue should accompany the application. All 

new inerts except PIP inerts are reviewed by lIAB. The IIAB should also be contacted 

for any questions on what supporting data needs to be submitted for and the Agency's 

inert review process. Questions on PIP inerts should be directed to the Chief of 

Microbial Pesticides Branch [Link to 

http://www.epa.gov/oppbppdllbiopesticides/contacts bppd.htmJ. 

When a brand, trade, or proprietary name of an inert ingredient is listed on a CSF, 

additional information such as an alternate name of the inert, CAS number or other 

information [link to http://www.epa.gov/opprdOOllinerts/tips.pgfj must also be included 

to enable the Agency to determine if it has been approved. Each component of an inert 

mixture (including a fragrance) must be identified. In some cases, the supplier of the 

mixture or fragrance may need to provide this information to the Agency. Prior to the 

Agency's receipt of an application, applicants must arrange with a proprietary mixture or 

fragrance supplier to provide the component information to the Agency or promptly upon 

EPA's request. If the inert ingredients in a proprietary blend (including fragrances) 

cannot or are not identified or provided within the 21-day content review period, the 

Agency will reject the application. 

During the 21 day content review, applicants should submit information to the individual 

identified by the Agency when the applicant is informed of an unapproved inert. 

Unapproved Inerts Identified on CSFs 

All applications except conventional new products and PIPs 

Once an unapproved inert is identified on a CSF, the Agency will contact the 

applicant with the following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert If this option is selected and implemented, the Agency may 

request an extension in the PRIA decision review timeframe to accommodate 

the inert review/approval process; 

4 

121
\ 

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of these options is selected and implemented by the applicant within the 

21 day content review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 

25% of the full fee of the category identified. 

Conventional New Product Applications 

When the Registration Division identifies an unapproved inert on a CSF with an 

application for a new product that the applicant has not identified as requiring an 

inert approval (R311, R312 or R313), it will contactthe applicant with the 

following options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the inert's identity or CAS 

number, providing documentation that the inert has been approved, or 

removing the unapproved inert from the CSF or replacing it with one that is 

approved for the application's uses; or 

2. Submit the information and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert, including any required petition to establish or amend a 

tolerance or exemption from a tolerance. (This option may change the PRIA 

category for the application, which could require a longer decision review 

time and a larger fee. If additional fees are due, they must be received by the 

Agency within the 21 day content review period.) 

3. Withdraw the application (the Agency retains 25% of the full fee for the fee 

category estimated); or 

If none of the above options is selected and implemented during the 2 I-day 

content-review period, the Agency will reject the application and retain 25% of 

the appropriate fee for the new product-inert approval category. 

PIP Applications 

When the Biopesticide and Pollution Prevention Division identifies an 

unapproved inert on a PIP CSF and a request to approve the inert does not 

accompany the application, it will contact the applicant with the following 

options: 

1. Correct the application by, for instance, correcting the spelling or name of the 

inert to that in 40 CFR 174, or providing documentation that the inert has been 

approved; or 

2. Submit the infonnation and data needed for the Agency to approve the 

unapproved inert. If an inert ingredient tolerance exemption petition is 

required, the petition must be received by the Agency and the B903 fee paid 

within the 21 day period. If this option is selected and implemented, the 

Agency will discuss harmonizing the timeframe for both actions.

Ms. Yentel, 

I am sending this email as a follow up to the phone conversation we just 

had regarding the above mentioned product. As we discussed, one of the 

studies you submitted is missing the sponsor and submitter signatures on 

the GLP page. The study is study number 5: Acute Dermal Toxicity Study

Re: Application to Register a New Product Containing a Currently Registered Active Ingredient 

ABBA" Ultra Miticide/Insecticide - EPA Reg. No. 66222-xxx 

Fee Category: R310; $4,578; 6-month review 

Dear Mr. Harris, 

Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc. is requesting registration of the above referenced 

product. This product is similar to an already registered Makhteshim Agan of North America, 

Inc. product, ABBA 0.15ME (EPA Reg. No. 66222-191). The use sites on the ABBA Ultra label are 

identical to those on the ABBA 0.15 ME label however, ABBA Ultra has a higher concentration 

of the active ingredient abamectin (0.30 IbsJgalion vs. 0.15Ibs/gallon). The use rates on the 

ABBA Ultra label have been adjusted so that the amount of active ingredient used per 

application and per season are the same as the ABBA 0,15 ME label while the amount of 

formulated product used per acre has been reduced to reflect the higher active ingredient 

formulation of ABBA Ultra. 

In support of this submission, the following documents are attached: 

• PRIA Payment Confirmation 

• Application for Pesticide Registration (EPA Form 8570·1) 

• Formulator's Exemption (EPA Form 8570-27) 

• Confidential Statement of Formula (EPA Form 8570·4) (2 copies)

resultant fluid and electrolyte imbalance should be gauged. Appropriate supportive parenteral fluid replacement 

therapy should be given, along with other required supportive measures (such as maintenance of blood pressure 

levels and respiratory functionality) as indicated by clinical signs, symptoms, and measurements. In severe cases, 

observations should continue for at least several days until clinical condition is stable and normal. Since 

abamectin is believed to enhance GABA activity in animals, it is probably wise to avoid drugs that enhance GABA 

acti~itV -(barbiturates, benzodiazepines, valproic acid) in patients with potentially toxic abamectin exposure.

CHEMIGATION STATEMENT 

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

USE RESTRICTIONS 

Do not apply ABBA Ultra by aerial application equipment in New York State. 

SPRAY DRIFT 

Responsibility: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 

many equipment- and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible 

for conSidering all of these factors when making application decisions. 

NOTE: When states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Application with Aircraft or Ground Application Equipment 

• Apply ABBA Ultra only when wind velocity favors on target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph). 

• Do not apply with ground application equipment within 25 ft of or with aircraft within 150 ft of lakes, reservoirs, 

rivers, permanent streams, marshes, pot holes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish farm ponds. 

• Do not cultivate within 25 ft of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. 

• Do not allow this product to drift onto non-target areas. Drift may result in illegal residues or injury to nontarget 

species. Risk of exposure to sensitive areas can be reduced by applying this product when the wind direction is 

away from the sensitive area. 

• Do not apply when the weather conditions may cause drift. 

• Avoid application when the temperature is high and/or the humidity is low. These conditions increase the 

evaporation of spray droplets and the likelihood of drift to aquatic areas. 

• Do not apply when wind speed or wind gusts are greater than 15 mph. 

• Do not apply when wind speed is below 2 mph because wind direction will vary and there is a high potential for 

inversion. 

• Observe the following precautions when using ground application to spray tree crops (almonds, apples, 

avocado, citrus, pears, plums, prunes, and walnuts) or hops in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as lakes, 

reservoirs, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish ponds: 

Do not apply ABBA Ultra when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. 

Do not apply within 110 ft upwind of aquatic areaS or when wind speed is above 8 mph. 

Page 3 of 16_ABBA Ultra (66222-xxx) (Submitted to EPA 07-16-10) JL Y 

143
Spray last 3 rows upwind of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed 

away from the aquatic areas. 

Avoid spray going over tops of trees by adjusting or turning off top nozzles. Shut off nozzles on 

the side away from the grove/orchard when spraying the outside row. Shut off nozzles when 

turning at ends of row and passing tree gaps in rows. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Aerial Application 

Drift Management Requirements 

The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target movement from aerial 

applications to agricultural field crops: 

Outermost Nozzle Distance 

The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor. 

Nozzle Direction 

Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downwards more than 45 

degrees. 

Maximum Wind Speed 

Do not apply when wind speed is greater than 15 mph. 

Droplet Size 

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large 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 manufacturer's 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 

Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other 

orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant deffection 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 ft 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 cross wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. Therefore, on the up and 

downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the 

aircraft upwind. 

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 must 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. 

Page 4 of f6_ABBA Ultra (66222-xxx) (Submitted to EPA 07-16-fO) JLY 

144
Temperature and Humidity 

To compensate for evaporation when applying ABBA Ultra in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce 

larger droplets. Evaporation of droplets is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. 

Temperature Inversions 

ABBA Ultra must not be applied during a temperature inversion because the potential for drift is high. 

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, and this causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a 

concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds that are 

common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by temperatures that increase with altitude 

and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. Inversions 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, the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator can also identify 

inversions. 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. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

To minimize the potential development of pest resistance to abamectin, use of resistance management strategies 

is imperative, especially when applying ABBA Ultra to crops that are hosts of pests on this label that have multiple 

generations per crop or per year. Examples of resistance management may include but are not limited to the 

following: non-chemical alternatives (such as beneficial arthropods); rotating susceptible and non-susceptible 

plants; rotating uses of pesticides with different modes of action; avoiding use of the same product on successive 

generations of pests; use of various other cultural practices; and using labeled rates at specified spray intervals. 

Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service to obtain additional information regarding these or other 

resistance management strategies. 

CROP USE RECOMMENDATIONS 

ALMONDS AND WALNUTS 

For controlling strawberry spider mites. Pacific spider mites, two-spotted spider mites, and European red 

mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA Ultra when mites initially appear. To maintain control, make a second application of ABBA Ultra after 

at least 21 days, if needed. Spray deposits on newer leaves (compared to older leaves) provide greater residual 

spider mite control. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to provide thorough coverage. 

Volume of spray will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough 

coverage to attain spider mite control. ABBA Ultra should be used with a Horticultural Spray Oil (not a dormant 

oil) that is approved for use on almonds and walnuts. If applications are made without Horticultural Spray Oil, 

reduced efficacy and/or reduced residual control could result.

APPLES 

For controlling tentiform leafminers, white apple leafhoppers, European red mites, McDaniel spider mites, 

and twoMspotted spider mites. (Ground application only.) 

Apply ABBA Ultra when pest thresholds are reached. If necessary, make a second application after at least 21 

days to aUain adequate control. 

White Apple Leafhopper (Do not use west of Rocky Mountains): Only apply ABBA Ultra to the first 

generation white apple leafhopper. Apply with a horticultural spray oil" soon after petal faiL 

SpJder Mites: Apply ABBA Ultra before the population reaches 5 spider mites per leaf. Residual control is 

improved when spray deposits are on newer leaves (compared to older leaves). Limit applications to the period 

between petal fall through six weeks after petal fa!L 

Tentiform Leafminers: App!y ABBA Ultra onto eggs to control new hatch and at early sap feeder stages of the 

first and second generations when leafminer populations reach locally established thresholds. Do not apply 

ABBA Ultra during bloom stage. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers with enough water to produce thorough coverage. Spray 

volume will vary with the size and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough coverage to 

attain spider mite and insect control. Best results are attained when applied as directed in combination with 

Horticultural Spray Oil (not dormant oil) that has been approved for use on app!es. If Horticultural Spray Oi! is not 

used, reduced efficacy andlor reduced residua! control could result 

See SPRAY DRIFT section of this label for spray drift precautions. 

ABBA Ultra may cause injury to fruit of some apple varieties when used with Horticultural Spray Oils or when 

other products are sequentially applied. For example, russetting may occur on Golden Delicious and other lightskinned varieties. Users shou!d carefully follow the Directions For Use and Precautions on the labels of 

Horticu!tural Spray Oils or those in official spray guides when using ABBA Ultra in combination with HortiCUltural

PEARS (including oriental pear trees) 

For contrOlling European red mite, pear rust mite, yellow mites, two-spotled spider mite, McDaniel spider 

mite, and pear psyJla. 

Apply ABBA Ultra using conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers only calibrated to deliver enough 

water for thorough coverage but not less than 40 gallons of water per acre. Spray volume will vary with the size 

and number of trees per acre and foliage density. Assure thorough coverage to atta'ln effective sp'lder mite and 

insect control. Always apply ABBA Ultra combined with a Horticultural Spray Oil (not donnant oil) as directed. 

See SPRAY DRIFT section of this label for spray drift precautions. 

Apply ABBA Ultra using at least 1 qt HorticultUral Spray O!l*/100 gals (i.e., 0.25% of finished spray) in dilute 

sprays or with at least 1.0 gal of Horticultural Spray Oil* per acre in concentrate sprays. 

Applying ABBA Ultra plus horticultural spray oil less than 14 days before or after applying Captan can resurt in 

phytotoxicity and crop loss.

smaller trees. 

Use Restrictions - Pears (including oriental pear trees) 

• Do not reapply within 21 days of first application nor apply within 28 days of harvest. 

• Do not use more than 10 fl oz of ABBA Ultra per acre per application. Do not exceed 20 fl oz/acre in a single 

growing season. 

• Do not exceed 2 applications per growing season. 

• Do not allow livestock to graze in treated orchards. 

• Do not apply aerially. 

PLUMS AND PRUNES 

For controlling European spider mite, Pacific spider mite, and two-spotted spider mite. 

Use conventional dilute or concentrate ground sprayers only with enough water to produce thorough coverage, 

but do not use less than 40 gallons of water per acre. Spray volume will vary with the size and number of trees 

per acre and follage density. Assure thorough coverage to attain sp'lder mite control. 

See SPRAY DRIFT section of this label for spray drift precautions. 

Apply when mites first appear. A second application may be made, if needed, to maintain control (see Use 

Restrictions). 

Apply ABBA Ultra in combination with a nonionic surfactant that spreads on and/or penetrates the leaf cutide or 

apply with horticultural spray oil (not a dormant oil). To avoid crop injury, carefully follow the Directions for Use 

and Precautions sections of the surfactant or oil label(s) and/or official spray guides when using in the spray 

mixture

B To determine the amount of product per acre for concentrate sprays, first determine the amount that would be 

required in a full cover dilute spray. Use the same amount of product per acre in concentrate sprays as would 

be required for the dilute sprays to the same orchard/grove. This may result in use of less than 5 f1 oz/A on 

small trees.

POTATOES 

For controlling Colorado potato beetles, Lfriomyza leafminers, Potato psylUd and Spider mites. 

Colorado potato beetles: Apply ABBA Ultra when 50% of egg masses have hatched and larvae are observed. 

If two applications are planned, they should be restricted to a single Colorado potato beetle generation per 

season, and intervals of at least 7 days should be observed. For low to moderate infestations, use 4 fl oz per 

acre; for severe infestations, use 8 fl oz per acre. Do not exceed 2 applications per season. 

Lfriomyza leafminers: Initial application should be made when adult flies are first seen. Repeat applications as 

necessary to maintain control (see Use Restrictions) so long as there is a minimum of 7-day intervals between 

applications. For low to moderate infestations, use 4 fl oz per acre; for severe infestations, use 8 fl oz per acre. 

Spider mites: Apply the first application when mites first appear. Repeat applications as necessary to maintain 

control (see Use Restrictions) so long as there is a minimum of 7-day intervals between applications. For low to 

moderate infestations, use 4 fl oz per acre; for severe infestations, use 8 fI oz per acre.

Apply as a foliar spray in at least 20 gallons of water per acre by ground or in at least 5 gallons per acre by air. 

Under conditions such as high pest populations, dense or rank foliage, high temperatures or other such adverse 

application s·ltuations, use a greater water volume to ensure adequate coverage. For best results, ensure that 

good upper and lower leaf coverage is attained. To optimize pest control, add an organosilicone-based surtactant 

or non-ionic surtactant at the manufacturer's recommended rate. Effectiveness may be reduced if ABBA Ultra is 

used with a binder or sticker type product (such as Bravo® Weather Stik®). Do not apply ABBA Ultra by aerial 

application equipment in New York State.
