Product Information

Carefully read, understand and follow label use rates and restrictions. Apply the amount specified in the 

following tables with properly calibrated aerial or ground spray equipment. Prepare only the amount of 

spray solution required to treat the measured acreage. The low rates may be used for light infestations of 

the target pests and the higher rates for moderate to heavy infestations. TransformTM WG insecticide 

may be applied in either dilute or concentrate sprays so long as the application equipment is calibrated 

and adjusted to deliver thorough, uniform coverage. Use the specified amount of Transform WG per acre 

regardless of the spray volume used. 

Use Precautions 

Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Programs

Transform WG is recommended for IPM programs in labeled crops. Apply Transform WG when field 

scouting indicates target pest densities have reached the economic threshold, i.e., the point at which the 

insect population must be reduced to avoid economic losses beyond the cost of control. Other than 

reducing the target pest species as a food source, Transform WG does not have a significant impact on 

most parasitic insects or the natural predaceous arthropod complex in treated crops, including big-eyed 

bugs, ladybird beetles, flower bugs, lacewings, minute pirate bugs, damsel bugs, assassin bugs, 

predatory mites or spiders. The feeding activities of these beneficials will aid in natural control of other 

insects and reduce the likelihood of secondary pest outbreaks. If Transform WG is tank mixed with any 

insecticide that reduces its selectivity in preserving beneficial predatory insects, the full benefit of 

Transform WG in an IPM program may be reduced. 

Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM) 
C1C / Transform WG / MSTR Prop Sec 3 / 12-17-12 Page 11 

Transform WG contains a Group 4C insecticide. Insect/mite biotypes with acquired resistance to Group 

4C insecticides may eventually dominate the insect/mite population if Group 4C insecticides are used 

repeatedly in the same field or area, or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted 

species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Transform WG or other 

Group 4C insecticides. 

To delay development of insecticide resistance, the following practices are recommended: 

• Avoid consecutive use of insecticides on succeeding generations with the same mode of action (same 

insecticide subgroup, 4C) on the same insect species. 

• Consider tank mixtures or premix products containing insecticides with different modes of action 

(different insecticide groups) provided the products are registered for the intended use. 

• Base insecticide use upon comprehensive IPM programs. 

• Monitor treated insect populations in the field for loss of effectiveness. 

• Do not treat seedling plants grown for transplant in greenhouses, shade houses, or field plots. 

• Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or manufacturer for insecticide 

resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and resistant pest problems. 

• For further information or to report suspected resistance, you may contact Dow AgroSciences by calling 

800-258-3033.

Transform WG – Alone 

Fill the spray tank with water to about 1/2 of the required spray volume. Start agitation and add the 

required amount of Transform WG. Continue agitation while mixing and filling the spray tank to the 

required spray volume. Maintain sufficient agitation during application to ensure uniformity of the spray 

mix. Do not allow water or spray mixture to back-siphon into the water source. 

Transform WG - Tank Mix 

When tank mixing Transform WG with other materials, conduct compatibility test (jar test) using relative 

proportions of the tank mix ingredients prior to mixing ingredients in the spray tank. If foliar fertilizers are 

used, the jar test should be repeated with each batch of fertilizer utilizing the mixing water source. 

Vigorous, continuous agitation during mixing, filling and throughout application is required for all tank 

mixes. Sparger pipe agitators generally provide the most effective agitation in spray tanks. To prevent 

foaming in the spray tank, avoid stirring or splashing air into the spray mixture. 

Mixing Order for Tank Mixes: Fill the spray tank with water to 1/4 to 1/3 of the required spray volume. 

Start agitation. Add different formulation types in the order indicated below, allowing time for complete 

dispersion and mixing after addition of each product. Allow extra dispersion and mixing time for dry 

flowable products. 

Add different formulation types in the following order: 

1. Transform WG and other water dispersible granules 

2. Wettable powders 
C1C / Transform WG / MSTR Prop Sec 3 / 12-17-12 Page 12 

3. Suspension concentrates and other liquids 

Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to 3/4 of total spray volume. Then add: 

4. Emulsifiable concentrates and water-based solutions 

5. Spray adjuvants, surfactants and oils 

6. Foliar fertilizers 

Finish filling the spray tank. Maintain continuous agitation during mixing, final filling and throughout 

application. If spraying and agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the materials may 

settle to the bottom. Settled materials must be resuspended before spraying is resumed. A sparger 

agitator is particularly useful for this purpose. 

Premixing: Dry and flowable formulations may be premixed with water (slurried) and added to the spray 

tank through a 20 to 35 mesh screen. This procedure assures good initial dispersion of these formulation 

types. 

Application Directions 

Not for Residential Use 

Do not apply Transform WG in greenhouses or other enclosed structures used for growing crops. 

Proper application techniques help ensure thorough spray coverage and correct dosage for optimum 

insect control. Apply Transform WG as a foliar spray at the rate indicated for target pest. The following 

directions are provided for ground and aerial application of Transform WG. Attention should be given to 

sprayer speed and calibration, wind speed, and foliar canopy to ensure adequate spray coverage. 

Spray Drift Management 

Wind: To reduce off-target drive and achieve maximum performance, apply when wind velocity favors 

on-target product deposition. 

Temperature Inversions: Do not make ground or aerial applications during a temperature inversion. 

Temperature inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above 

the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. The applicator may 

detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground 

surface. 

Droplet Size: Use only medium or coarser spray nozzles (for ground and non-ULV aerial application) 

according to ASABE (S-572.1) definition for standard nozzles. In conditions of low humidity and high 

temperatures, applicators should use a coarser droplet size except where indicated for specific crops. 

Ground Application 

To prevent drift from groundboom applications, apply using a nozzle height of no more than 4 feet above 

the ground or crop canopy. Shut off the sprayer when turning at row ends. Risk of exposure to sensitive 

aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind directions are toward the aquatic area. 

Row Crop Application 

Use calibrated power-operated ground spray equipment capable of providing uniform coverage of the 

target crop. Orient the boom and nozzles to obtain uniform crop coverage. Use a minimum of 5 to 10 

gallons per acre, increasing volume with crop size and/or pest pressure. Use hollow cone, twin jet flat fan 

nozzles or other atomizer suitable for insecticide spraying to provide a fine to coarse spray quality (per 

ASABE S-572.1, see nozzle catalogs). Under certain conditions, drop nozzles may be required to obtain 

complete coverage of plant surfaces. Follow manufacturer's specifications for ideal nozzle spacing and 

spray pressure. Minimize boom height to optimize uniformity of coverage and maximize deposition 

(optimize on-target deposition) to reduce drift. 

Orchard/Grove Spraying Application 
C1C / Transform WG / MSTR Prop Sec 3 / 12-17-12 Page 13 

Dilute Spray Application: This application method is based upon the premise that all plant parts are 

thoroughly wetted, to the point of runoff, with spray solution. To determine the number of gallons of dilute 

spray required per acre, contact your state agricultural experiment station, certified pest control advisor, 

or extension specialist for assistance. 

Concentrate Spray Application: This application method is based upon the premise that all the plant 

parts are uniformly covered with spray solution but not to the point of runoff as with a dilute spray. 

Instead, a lower spray volume is used to deliver the same application rate per acre as used for the dilute 

spray. 

Aerial Application 

Apply in a minimum spray volume of 3 gallons per acre. Mount the spray boom on the aircraft so as to 

minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor vortices. Use the minimum practical boom length and do not 

exceed 75% of the wing span or 80% of the rotor diameter. Flight speed and nozzle orientation must be 

considered in determining droplet size. Spray must be released at the lowest height consistent with pest 

control and flight safety. Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy 

unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. When applications are made with a crosswind, the 

swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this displacement at the 

downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. 

Spray Adjuvants 

The addition of agricultural adjuvants to sprays of Transform WG may improve initial spray deposits, 

redistribution and weatherability. Select adjuvants that are recommended and registered for your specific 

use pattern and follow their use directions. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Dow 

AgroSciences recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified 

adjuvant. Always add adjuvants last in the mixing process. 

Chemigation Application 

Transform WG may be applied through properly equipped chemigation systems for insect control in 

potatoes. Do not apply Transform WG by chemigation to other crops. 

Use Directions for Chemigation: Transform WG may be applied through overhead sprinkler irrigation 

systems that will apply water uniformly, including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, 

traveler, solid set, micro sprinkler, or hand move. Do not apply this product through any other type of 

irrigation system. Sprinkler systems that deliver a low coefficient of uniformity such as certain water drive 

units are not recommended. 

For continuously moving systems, the mixture containing Transform WG must be injected continuously 

and uniformly into the irrigation water line as the sprinkler is moving. If continuously moving irrigation 

equipment is used, apply in no more than 0.25 inch of water. For irrigation systems that do not move 

during operation, apply in no more than 0.25 inch of irrigation immediately before the end of the irrigation 

cycle. 

Chemigation Preparation: The following use directions are to be followed when this product is applied 

through irrigation systems. Thoroughly clean the chemigation system and tank of any fertilizer or 

chemical residues, and dispose of the residues according to state and federal laws. Flush the injection 

system with soap or a cleaning agent and water. Determine the amount of Transform WG needed to 

cover the desired acreage. Mix according to instructions in the Mixing Directions section above. 

Continually agitate the mixture during mixing and application. 

Chemigation Equipment Calibration: In order to calibrate the irrigation system and injector to apply the 

mixture containing Transform WG, determine the following: 1) Calculate the number of acres irrigated by 

the system; 2) Calculate the amount of product required and premix; 3) Determine the irrigation rate and 

determine the number of minutes for the system to cover the intended treatment area; 4) Calculate the 

total gallons of insecticide mixture needed to cover the desired acreage. Divide the total gallons of 

insecticide mixture needed by the number of minutes (minus time to flush out) to cover the treatment 
C1C / Transform WG / MSTR Prop Sec 3 / 12-17-12 Page 14 

area. This value equals the gallons per minute output that the injector or eductor must deliver. Convert 

the gallons per minute to milliliters or ounces per minute if needed. Calibrate the injector system with the 

system in operation at the desired irrigation rate. It is suggested that the injection pump/system be 

calibrated at least twice before operation, and the system should be monitored during operation. 

Chemigation Operation: Start the water pump and irrigation system, and let the system achieve the 

desired pressure and speed before starting the injector. Check for leaks and uniformity and make repairs 

before any chemigation takes place. Start the injection system and calibrate according to manufacturer’s 

specifications. This procedure is necessary to deliver the desired rate per acre in a uniform manner. 

When the application is finished, allow the entire irrigation and injection system to be thoroughly flushed 

clean before stopping the system. 

Chemigation Precautions: 

 Lack of effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of 

treated water. 

 If you have questions about calibration, contact state extension service specialists, equipment 

manufacturers or other experts. 

 Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application (including greenhouse systems) to a 

public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in 

place with current certification. Specific local regulations may apply and must be followed. 

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

supervision of the responsible person, shall operate the system and make necessary adjustments 

should the need arise and continuously monitor the injection. 

 Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. End guns must be 

turned off during the application if they irrigate nontarget areas. 

 Do not allow irrigation water to collect or run off and pose a hazard to livestock, wells, or adjoining 

crops. 

 Do not enter treated area during the reentry interval specified in the Agricultural Use Requirements 

section of this label unless required PPE is worn. 

 Do not apply through sprinkler systems that deliver a low coefficient of uniformity such as certain water 

drive units. 

Chemigation Specific Equipment Requirements: 

 The system must contain an air gap or approved backflow prevention device, or approved functional 

check valve, vacuum relief valve (including inspection port), and low-pressure drain appropriately 

located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow. Refer to the 

American Society of Agricultural Engineer's Engineering Practice 409 for more information or state 

specific regulations. 

 The pesticide injection line must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent 

the flow of fluid back toward the injection chemical supply. 

 A pesticide injection pump must also contain a functional interlock, e.g., mechanical or electrical to shut 

off chemical supply 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 

when the water pressure drops too low or water flow stops. 

 Use of public water supply requires approval of a backflow prevention device or air gap (preferred) by 

both state and local authorities.

 Systems must use a metering device, such as a positive displacement injection pump (or flow meter on 

eductor) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and 

capable of being fitted with a system interlock. An electric powered pump must meet Section 675 for 

"Electrically Driven or Controlled Irrigation Machines" NEC 70. 

 To insure uniform mixing of the insecticide in the water line, inject the mixture in the center of the pipe 

diameter or just ahead of an elbow or tee in the irrigation line so that the turbulence created at those 

points will assist in mixing. The injection point must be located after all backflow prevention devices on 

the water line.
C1C / Transform WG / MSTR Prop Sec 3 / 12-17-12 Page 15 

 The tank holding the insecticide mixture should be free of rust, fertilizer, sediment, and foreign material, 

and equipped with an in-line strainer situated between the tank and the injection point.
