Directions For Use

RESTRICTED USE PESTICIDE

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.

Bonding and grounding metal containers will prevent

sparks from the discharge of static electricity that may

occur during pouring of combustible liquids.

Resistance

Some insects are known to develop resistance to products

used repeatedly for control. Because the development of

resistance cannot be predicted, the use of this product

should conform to resistance management strategies

established for the use area. Consult your local or state

agricultural authorities for details.

If resistance to this product develops in your area, this

product, or other products with a similar mode of action,

may not provide adequate control. If poor performance

cannot be attributed to improper application or extreme

weather conditions, a resistant strain of insect may be

present. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately consult your local

company representative or agricultural advisor for the best

alternative method of control for your area.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and

with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170.

This standard contains requirements for the protection of

agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and

greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It

contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific

instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements

on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE)

and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box

only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the

Worker Protection Standard.

DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas

during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that

Chemigation Use Directions

Apply this product only through sprinkler including center

pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big

gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems. DO NOT

apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. DO NOT connect any irrigation system (including

greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a

public water system.

Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal residues in the

crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated

water. If you have questions about calibration, contact

State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. 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.

The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuumrelief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on

the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination

from backflow.

The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing 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

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Pesticide Storage

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. DO NOT store

below 0° C (32° F). If solids are observed, warm to above

10° C (50° F) and roll or shake containers to redissolve.

DO NOT use near heat, open flame or hot surfaces.

Store in original containers only. Carefully open containers. After partial use, replace lids and close tightly. 

DO NOT put concentrate or dilute material into food or

drink containers. DO NOT contaminate other pesticides,

fertilizers, water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

Keep out of reach of children and animals.

Pesticide Disposal

Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess

pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of federal

law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use

according to label instructions, contact your state

Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency or the

Hazardous Waste representative of the nearest EPA

Regional Office for guidance.

Container Handling

Nonrefillable Container. DO NOT reuse or refill this

container. Triple rinse or pressure rinse container (or

equivalent) promptly after emptying; then offer for recycling, if available, or reconditioning, if appropriate, or

puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or by other procedures approved by state and

local authorities.

Triple rinse containers small enough to shake

(capacity ≤ 5 gallons) 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 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for

10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a

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.

Triple rinse containers too large to shake 

(capacity > 5 gallons) as follows: Empty the remaining

contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the

container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth,

ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and

forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other

end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the

rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank, or store

rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure

two more times.

Pressure rinse as follows: Empty the remaining

contents into application equipment or mix tank and continue to drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to

drip. Hold container upside down over application equipment or mix tank, or collect rinsate for later use or disposal. Insert pressure rinsing nozzle in the side of the

container and rinse at about 40 PSI for at least 30 seconds. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip.

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.

Apply FastacTM EC insecticide continuously for the

duration of the water application. Dilute Fastac EC in sufficient volume to ensure accurate application over the area

to be treated. Use the appropriate amount of water to

carry the product to the target pest. Agitation is not

required when a suitable diluent is used.

Buffer Zones 

Vegetative Buffer Zones

Construct and maintain a minimum 10-foot-wide vegetative

filter strip of grass or other permanent vegetation between

the field edge and down gradient aquatic habitat (such as,

but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent

streams, marshes, natural ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish farm ponds).

Only apply products containing alpha-cypermethrin onto fields

where a maintained vegetative buffer strip of at least 10 feet

exists between the field and down gradient aquatic habitat.

For guidance, refer to the following publication for information on constructing and maintaining effective buffers:

Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses.

Natural Resources Conservation Services.

USDA, NRCS. 2000. Fort Worth, Texas. 21pp.

http://www.in.nrcs.usda.gov/technical/agronomy/ 

new conbuf.pdf.

Buffer Zone for Ground Application 

(groundboom, overhead chemigation, 

or airblast)

DO NOT apply within 25 feet of aquatic habitats (such as,

but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent

streams, marshes, natural ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).

Buffer Zone for ULV Aerial Application

DO NOT apply within 450 feet of aquatic habitats (such

as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent

streams, marshes, natural ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).

Buffer Zone for Non-ULV Aerial Application

DO NOT apply within 150 feet of aquatic habitats (such as,

but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent

streams, marshes, natural ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds).

Spray Drift Requirements

Wind Direction and Speed

Only apply this product if the wind direction favors ontarget deposition. DO NOT apply when the wind velocity

exceeds 15 mph.

Temperature Inversion

DO NOT make aerial or ground applications into

temperature inversions. 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 ASAE (S572) definition for standard nozzles. In conditions of low humidity

and high temperatures, applicators should use a coarser

droplet size.

Additional Requirements for

Ground Applications

• Wind speed must be adjacent to the application site on

the upwind side immediately prior to application.

• For ground boom applications, apply using a nozzle height

of no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.

• For airblast applications, turn off outward-pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying the outer two rows.

To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard applications, spray must be directed into the canopy.

Additional Requirements for

Aerial Applications

• The spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft as to

minimize drift caused by wing tip or rotor vortices. The

minimum practical boom length should be used and

must not exceed 75% of the wing span or 80% of rotor

blade 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.

Use Information

DO NOT use any products containing cypermethrin and

zeta-cypermethrin during a crop season when using this

product.

Use low rate under light-to-moderate infestation. Higher

rates should be used under heavy insect pressure. The rate
6

of application is variable according to insect pressure, timing of spray and field scouting. DO NOT exceed maximum

allowable rate.

Preventive Use

For cutworm, armyworm, or stalk borer control,

FastacTM EC insecticide may be applied before, during,

or after planting. For soil-incorporated applications, use

higher rates for improved control.

Rotational Crops

With the exception of the following listed crops, rotational

crops should not be planted within 30 days of last

application.

Tank Mixture

DO NOT tank mix this product with any product containing the active ingredients cypermethrin or zeta-cypermethrin.

Fastac EC may be applied in tank mixtures with other

products approved for use on alfalfa, Brassica vegetables,

corn, cotton, fruiting vegetables, leafy vegetables, legume

vegetables, rice, root and tuber vegetables, sorghum, soybeans, tree nuts and wheat. Observe all restrictions and

precautions which appear on the labels of these products.

Test for compatibility of products before mixing.

Fastac EC may be applied in

water or refined vegetable oil.

When water is used, apply a

minimum of 1 gallon of finished

spray per acre by air or 5 gallons of finished spray with

ground equipment. When

applying in water by air, 1 quart

of emulsified oil may be substituted for 1 quart of water in the

finished spray. When using oil,

use a minimum of 1 quart per

acre in the finished spray.

Control of lepidopteran eggs

may be achieved with proper

timing of applications.

For boll weevil control, apply

Fastac EC at a 3-day to 4-day

interval until pest numbers are

reduced to acceptable levels.

For control of grasshoppers,

applications should be made

based on careful field scouting.

Make treatment decisions based

on evidence of feeding damage

and presence of grasshoppers in

cotton. Loss of cotyledon leaves

in seedling cotton should be considered more important than leaf

loss in older cotton. Applications

should be made on a broadcast

basis because grasshoppers are

highly mobile.

Adjust rates based on populations of grasshoppers found in

fields. Make applications on a

3-day to 5-day schedule until

grasshopper populations are

under control or until foliage

loss subsides.

Increase application rates as

grasshopper size and population density increases.

DO NOT exceed maximum

allowable rate.

Apply as needed based on pest thresholds determined by scouting practices. Refer to Extension

Scouting guidelines for scouting techniques, pest

thresholds and treatment timing and treatment intervals. Determine the need for repeat applications,

usually at intervals of 7 days, by scouting.

Fastac EC can be safely applied in conjunction

with approved rice herbicides.

Apply by air or ground equipment using sufficient

water to obtain full coverage of foliage. When

applying by air, apply in a minimum of 5 gallons of

water per acre. For increased control, crop oil concentrate at 16 fluid ounces per acre may be used.

For control of rice water weevil in dry seeded rice,

make a foliar application as indicated by scouting for

the presence of adults and/or feeding scars, usually

within a time frame of 0 to 5 days after permanent

flood establishment. DO NOT exceed 10 days from

starting permanent flood until insecticide application

unless scouting indicates adult weevils are not present. Adults may also be treated at later stages of rice

development to reduce overwintering populations.

For control of rice water weevil in water-seeded

rice, make the first application after flooding when

scouting indicates the presence of adults and/or

feeding scars. Application should usually begin when

rice has emerged 0.5 inch above the waterline. Under

conditions of prolonged migration into the field, start

field scouting for rice water weevil adults and/or feeding scars 3 to 5 days after the initial treatment and, if

needed, apply a second application within 7 to

10 days of the first application. Adults may also be

treated at later stages of rice development to reduce

overwintering populations.

Green bug is known to have many biotypes.

Fastac EC may only provide suppression. If satisfactory control is not achieved with the first application of Fastac EC, a resistant biotype may be

present. Use alternate chemistry for control.
