### ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS For Terrestrial Use: This pesticide is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and oysters. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas bel ow the mean high water mark. This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. Do not apply when weat her conditions favor drift from treated areas. Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organism s in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate.

This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly wher e the water table is shallow, may result in ground-water contamination.

This product is potentially toxic to honey bee larvae through residues in pollen and nectar, but not to adult honey bees. Exposure of adult bees to direct treatment or residues on bloo ming crops can lead to effects on honey bee larvae. See the "Directions for Use" section of this label for specific crop application instructions that minimize risk to honey bee larvae. Spray Drift Reduction Management Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the po tential 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. Importance of Droplet Size: An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Select nozzles and pressure that deliver medium spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Nozzles that deliver coarse spray droplets may be used to r educe spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is increased to maintain crop coverage. Low humidity and high te mperature increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of spray drift to aquatic areas. Av oid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperature. 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 equipment specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Do not apply when winds are greater than 15 mph and avoid gusty and windless conditions. Avoiding applications when wind direction is toward an aquatic area can reduce risk exposure to sensitive aquatic areas. Restrictions During Temperature Inversions: Do not make ground 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 ar e common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They 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, t he movement of smoke from a ground source 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.RUNOFF MANAGEMENT This product may contaminate water through runoff or drift of sp ray in wind. This product has a high potential for runoff for several weeks after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and spring s will reduce the potential fo r contamination of water from rainfall runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.
ENDANGERED SPECIES ADVISORY The use of any pesticide in a manner that may kill or otherwise harm endangered species or adversely modify their habitat is a violation of Federal law.
INSECT RESISTANCE STATEMENT Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, conform the use of this product to resistance management strategies esta blished for the use area. 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide contains an active ingredient with a mode of action classifi ed as a Group 23 insecticide – lipid biosynthesis inhibitor (LBI). Studies to determine cross-resistance of Group 23 insecticides with other chemical classes have demonstrated no crossresistance. Bayer CropScience strongly encourages that 14ACP7 03 SC Insecticide/Miticide, applied alone or in tankmix combination with another Group 23 product, be applied in a block rotation or windowed approach with products from other chemical classes having a different mode of action before us ing additional applications of Group 23 insecticides against the same target pest. Using a block rotation or windowed ap proach, along with other IPM practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or delaying an insect pes t’s ability to develop resistance to a given class of chemistry. Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop ad visor and/or product manufacturer for additional resistance management or IPM recommendations.

# DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this pr oduct in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requi rements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.



### APPLICATION INFORMATION 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide is a Suspension Conc entrate formulation. Following application to plant foliage14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide is fully systemic, moving through phloem and xylem to all plant tissues including new shoot, leaf and root growth. The active ingredient contai ned in 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide is active primarily by ingestion. Fecundity of adult insects and mites may be redu ced. Make applications as preventative treatments or to coincide with early threshold levels in developing insect populations. 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide can be applied by ground equipment (including hand-held application equipment). 14ACP703 SC Insecticide must be tank-mixed with a spray adjuvant / additive having spreading and penetrating properties to maximize leaf uptake and systemicity of the active ingredient within treated plants; please contact your local Bayer CropScience representative or PCA for specific recommendations. It is widely known that tank mixtures an d/or sequential treatments of horticultura l spray oil with Captan and/or sulfur may cause adverse plant compatibility in tree crops; including 14ACP703 SC Insecticide in this tankmix and/or sequential treatment scenario is not recommended.

FOLIAR SPRAY APPLICATIONS Foliar applications must be made using properly calibrated sp rayers such as mechanically pressurized hand held sprayers (including hand-held and backpack sprayers). Sufficient spray volume based on the size and density of the treated crop must be utilized that allows for good coverage of both young and old foliage without run-off or collection of spray solution on leaf margins, fruit, or other plant tissues. Good coverage will help ensure maximum uptake by leaf surfaces and optimum systemicity within the plant. Application rates within this label are based on full-size mature trees. Use higher rates for moderate to heavy insect pressure or where longer residual contro l is desired. Ground applications must be made in a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre on tree crops.

### MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

COMPATIBILITY / MIXING / ORDER-OF-MIXING
Observe all cautions and limitations on l abeling of all products used in mixtures. 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide is physically and biologically compatible with many registered pesticides and fertilizers or micronutrients. When considering mixing 14ACP703 SC Inse cticide/Miticide with other pesticides, or other additives, first contact your supplier for advice. For further information, contact your local Bayer representative. If your supplier and Bayer representative have no experience wi th the combination you are considering, conduct a test to determine physical compatibility. To determine physical co mpatibility, add the recommended proportions of each chemical with the same proportion of water as will be present in the chemical supply tank, into a suitable container, mix thoroughly, and allow the mixture to stand for five minutes. If t he combination remains mixed, or can be re adily remixed, the mixture is considered physically compatible. The proper mixing procedure for 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miti cide alone or in tank mix combinations with other pesticides is: 1) Fill the spray tank 1/4 to 1/3 full with clean water; 2) While recirculating and with the agitator running, add any labeled amounts of 14ACP703 SC Insecticide /Miticide. Allow time for thorough mixing; 3) Continue to fill spray tank with water until 1/2 full; 4) Add any other wettable powder (WP) or wettable granules (WG) products; 5) Allow enough time for thorough mi xing of each product added to tank; 6) If applicable, add any remaining tank mix components: emulsifiable concentrates (EC), fertilizers, micronutrients, spray adjuvants. 7) Fill spray tank to desired level and maintain constant agitation to ensure uniformity of spray mixture.
