Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining personal protective equipment (PPE). If no such instructions for washables, use 

detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. 

ENGINEERING CONTROLS STATEMENT 

When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection 

Standard 0NPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240 (d){4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as 

specified in the WPS. 

USER SAFETY 

RECOMMENDATIONS Usersshould: 

Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. 

Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. 

Remove Personal Protective Equipment immediately after handling this product. 

Wash the outside of gloves before removing. 

As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. 

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 

Do not apply directly to wafer, areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark Do not 

contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. 

This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it 

to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area. This product is toxic to wildlife and highly toxic to aquatic 

invertebrates. 

This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. The use of this 

chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shaDow, may result in groundwater contamination. 

TAKE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN MIXING AND APPLYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES; 

RESERVOIRS; RIVERS; PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS; ESTUARIES AND COMMERCIAL FISH 

FARM PONDS. 

Spray Drift Management 

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. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator. 

Mixing and Loading 

To avoid potential contaminailon of groundwater, the use of a properly designed and maintained containment pad for mixing and loading of 

any pesticide into application equipment is recommended. If containment pad is not used, maintain a minimum distance of 25 feet between 

mixing and loading areas and potential surtace to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well head, sinkholes or field drains. 

For Aerial Applications 

The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing lip vortices. The minimum practical boom length 

should be used, and must not exceed 75% of the wing span or rotor diameter. 

. 2 . 
7

Importance of Droplet Size 

An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small droplets « t50· 200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large droplets. Within 

typical equipment specifications, make applications to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient control and coverage. 

Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much 

as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure. 

Release the spray at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight safety. Do not make applications more than 

10 feet above the crop canopy. 

Wind Speed Restrictions 

Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, 

including droplet size, canopy and equipmem specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Do not apply when winds are 

greater than t5 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding 

applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area. 

Restrictions During Temperature Inversions 

Do not make aerial or around applications during temperature inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature inversions. 

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move 

laterally in a concentrated cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on 

nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into 1he morning. Their 

presence can be indicated by ground fog; however if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from 

a ground source. 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 mixing. 

Airblast (Air Assist) for Tree Crops and Vineyards 

Airblast sprayers carry droplets into the canopy of trees/vines via a radially, or laterally directed air stream. Follow the specific drift 

management practices below: 

• Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy; 

• Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy; 

• Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage; 

• Do not allow the spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area (i.e., turn off sprayer when turning at end rows); 

• Only spray inward, toward the orchard or vineyard, for applications to the outside rows. 

No-Spray Zone Requirements for Foliar Applications 

Do not apply by ground within 25 feet, or by air within 150 feet of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or natural 

ponds; estuaries and commercial fish farm ponds. 

Runoff Management 

Do not cultivate within 10 feet of the aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. 

When used on erodible soils, employ the best management practices for minimizing runoff. Consult your local Natural Resources 

Conservation Service for instructions in your use area. 

Endangered Species Notice 

Under the Endangered Species Act, it is a Federal Offense to use any pesticide in a manner that results in the death of a member of an 

endangered species. Consult your local county bulletin, County Extension Agent, or Pesticide State Lead Agency for information 

conceming endangered species in your area. 

Resistance Management 

Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product 

should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. 

HELOPRID 4 contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent tolerance to Group 4A insecticides may 

eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted 

species. 

The active ingredient in HELOPRID 4 is a member of neonicotinoid chemical class. Avoid using a block of more than three consecutive 

applications of HELOPRID 4 and/or other Group 4A products having the same or similar mode of action. Following a neonicotinoid block 

of treatments, SHARDA USA strongly encourages the rotation to a block of applications with effective products of a different mode of action 

before using additional applications of neonicotinoid products. Using a block rotation or windowed approach, along with other IPM 

practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or delaying an insect pest's ability to develop resistance to this class of 

chemistry. 

Foliar applications of HELOPRID 4 or other Group 4A products from the neonicotinoid chemical class should not be used on crops 

previously treated with a long-residual, soil-applied product from the neonicotinoid chemical class. 

Other Group 4A neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: TRIMAXTM PRO Insecticide, Actara, Assail, CALYPSO, 

Centric, Couraze, Intruder, LEVERAGE, Pasada and PROVADO. Other Group 4A neonicotinoid products used as soil treatment include: 

ADMIRE, Alias, Couraze and Platinum. 

Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product manufacturer for additional insect resistance management 

recommendations. Also, for more information on Insect Resistance Management (IRM), visit the Insecticide Resistance Action 

Committee (IRAG) on the web at hftpfflrac-onfine.org.

on label for hazards associated with the handling of this material. Do not walk through spilled material. Absorb spilled material with 

absorbing type compounds and dispose of as directed for pesticides below. In spill or leak incidents, keep unauthorized people away. 

CONTAINER DISPOSAL STATEMENTS 

Nonerefillable Containers: Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. Clean container promptly after 

emptying. 

Nonerefillable container equal to or less than 5 gallons: Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application 

equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container % full with water and recap. 

Shake for to seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 

seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. 

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 

Do Not Apply HELOPRID 4 In Enclosed Structures Such As Greenhouses Or Planthouses. 

Apply HELOPRID 4 as a directed or broadcast foliar spray. Thorough coverage of foliage is necessary without runoff for optimum 

insecticidal efficacy. Use adequate spray volumes, properly calibrated application equipment and spray adiuvant if necessary to obtain 

thorough coverage. Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of HELOPRID 4 on leaves and fruit may result in loss of insect 

control or delay in onset of activity. HELOPRID 4 may be applied with property calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. 

Minimum spray volumes unless othelWise specified on crop specific application rate sections are to gallons/Acre by ground application and 

5 gallons/Acre through aerial equipment. HELOPRID 4 may also be applied by ovemead chemigation (see additional CHEMIGATION 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE section below) if allowed in crop specific Application Rate section. 

HELOPRID 4 use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is generally not recommended but 

may be allowed under State speCific supplemental labeling. As with any insecticide, care must be taken to minimize exposure of 

HELOPRID 4 to honey bees and other pollinators. Use of HELOPRID 4 on crops requiring bee pollination should be avoided during bloom 

and a minimum of 10 days prior to bloom. Additional information on HELOPRID 4 uses for these crops and other questions may be obtained 

from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, or consultants. 

Do not apply more than 0.5 Ibs. active ingredient per acre, per crop season, regardless of formulation or method of application, unless 

specified within a crop-specific Application Rate section for a given crop.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 

HELOPRID 4 is a suspension concentrate (flowable) formulation that must be shaken well prior to measuring/mixing. The formulation is 

thixotropic and after sitting for a short time reverts to a gel or thick paste consistency helping to prevent phase separation common to most 

"flowables". After moderate shaking the formulation thins to a relatively non-viscous liquid which pours and measures easily with very few 

trapped air bubbles· another common problem of most flowables. 

HELOPRID 4 has demonstrated easy mixingtblooming in water with varying degrees of hardness and temperature. HELOPRID 4 has 

demonstrated good mixing and compatibility with many fluid fertilizers without dilution with water. However, because fertilizers vary widely 

in quality and composition it is suggested that a jar test be performed (see Compatibility Note below) prior to full-scale mixing. 

To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the tank and wUh agUation add HELOPRID 4. 

Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. HELOPRID 4 may also 

be used with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions. Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of HELOPRID 4 

and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as instructed above and follow suggested Mixing Order below. 

Mixing Order 

When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders or wettable granules first, HELOPR1D 4 and other flowable (suspension 

concentrate) products second, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Ensure good agitation as each component is added. Do not add an 

additional component until the previous is thoroughly mixed. If a fertilizer solution is added, a fertilizer/pesticide compatibility agent may be 

needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture. 

Compatibility Note 

Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding HELOPR1D 4 to the spray or mix tank. Add proportionate amounts of each 

ingredient in the appropriate order, to a pint or quart jar, cap, shake for 5 minutes, and let set for 5 minutes. Poor mixing or formation of 

precipitates that do not readily redisperse indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be used. 

CHEM1GAT10N DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

Refer to DIRECTIONS FOR USE section before proceeding with chemigation application. 

Types of Irrigation Systems 

Chemigation applications of HELOPRID 4 may be made to crops through overhead sprinkler chemigation systems if specified in crop-specific 

application sections. Do not apply HELOPRID 4 through any other type of irrigation system. 

Water Volume 

HELOPRID 4 chemigation applications should be made as concentrated as possible. Retention of HELOPRID 4 on target site of insect 

infestation is necessary for optimum activity. Chemigation of HELOPRID 4 in water volumes exceeding 0.1 inch/Acre is not 

recommended. 

Unifonn Water Distribution and System Calibration 

The irrigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the 

crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the rates specified. If you 

have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. 

Chemigation Monitoring 

A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible 

person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. 

Drift 

Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 

Required System Safety Devices 

The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation 

pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backfiow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quickclosing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a 

functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock 

to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The 

system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor 

stops. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water 

pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive 

displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides 

and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 

Using Water from Public Water Systems 

Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 

15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. Chemigation 

systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow preventer (RPZ) orthe 

functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. Discharge the water from a public water 

system into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction as an option to the (RPZ). There shall be a complete physical 

break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter 

- 5 -
10

of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid 

back toward the injection. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on 

the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank 

when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. 

The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor 

stops or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribuflon is adversely 

affected. Systems must use a metering pump such as a pos~ive displacement injection pump (e.g. Diaphragm pump) effectively designed 

and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 

ROTATIONAL CROPS 

Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on an imidacloprid label, or any crop for which a tolerance exists for the active 

ingredient, as soon as practical following the last application. For crops not listed on an imidacloprid label, or for crops for which no 

tolerances for the active inQredient have been established there is a 12 month plant back interval.

Application Instructions - HELQPRID 4 Insecticide 

HELOPRID 4 may be applied with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Apply specified rate per acre as a directed 

or broadcast spray to infested area at eartiestthreshOld for target pest, as population begins to develop. Thorough uniform coverage of all 

plant parts is required to achieve optimum control. Scout fields and retreat if needed. Make multiple arlllications of HELOPRID 4 to 

promote plant health and yield. 

The lower rates can be used early season when pest pressures are low or when tank-mixing with other effective products registered for 

target insect control. Degree of control or suppression of additional labeled pests will be determined, in part, by the stage of pest 

development at application and infestation level of those pests. HELOPRID 4 provides optimal performance against early instar and early 

nymphal stages of insects as well as bollwormibudworm eggs. Applications made with less than 5 gallons per acre may result in slower 

activity and/or less overall control from a single application than an application made with higher gallonages. The addition of an 

organosilicone-based spray adjuvant is recommended for applications targeting aphids and whiteflies. 

Regardless of formulation or method of application, apply no more than 0.5 Ib active ingredient of imidacloprid per acre per season, 

including seed treatment, soil and foliar uses.
