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 below the mean high water mark. This product may contaminate 

water through drift of spray in wind. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Drift and runoff 

from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms 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 where 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 blooming 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 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. 

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 reduce spray drift provided spray volume per acre (GPA) is 

increased to maintain crop coverage. Low humidity and high temperature increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets 

and therefore the likelihood of spray drift to aquatic areas. Avoid 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 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 the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground 

fog. However, if fog is not present, the 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 spray 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 springs will reduce the potential for 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 established for the use area. 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide 

contains an active ingredient with a mode of action classified 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 14ACP703 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 using additional applications of Group 23 insecticides against 

the same target pest. 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 a given class of chemistry.

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

management or IPM recommendations. Also, for more information on Insect Resistance Management (IRM), visit the 

Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://irac-online.org. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product 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 requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency 

responsible for pesticide regulation. 

APPLICATION INFORMATION 

14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide is a Suspension Concentrate 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 contained in 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide is active primarily 

by ingestion. Fecundity of adult insects and mites may be reduced. 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 and/or sequential treatments of horticultural 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 sprayers 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 control 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 labeling 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 Insecticide/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 with the combination you are considering, conduct a test to determine physical 

compatibility. To determine physical compatibility, add the recommended proportions of each chemical with the same 

proportion of water as will be present in the chemical supply tank, into a suitable container, mix thoroughly, and allow the 

mixture to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be readily remixed, the mixture is considered 

physically compatible. 

The proper mixing procedure for 14ACP703 SC Insecticide/Miticide 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 mixing 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.
