USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 

Users should: 

• 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 PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As 

soon as possible, wash thorouQhly and chanQe into clean clothinQ. 

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 

Do not apply directly to water, Of to areas where sutiace water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean 

high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters. 

This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues in 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 toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. 

This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground 

water. The use of this chemical is areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, 

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 responsibility of avoiding spray drift is with the applicator:. The applicator is responsible for considering the 

weather related factors and the interaction of application equipment 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. Smarr droplets «150-200 microns) drift to a greater extent 

than large droplets. Within typical equipment specifications, make applications to deliver the largest droplets 

spectrum that provides sufficient control and coverage. Formation of very smarr droplets may be minimized by 

appropriate nozzle selection. 

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. 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 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 

closed 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, 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. 

Mixing and Loading Requirements 

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 area and potential surtace to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased 

well heads, sink-holes, or filed drains. 

No-Spray Zone Requirements for SoU Applications 

page 3 of 15 
7

Do not apply within 25 feet, of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds; estuaries 

and commercial fish tarm ponds. 

Runoff Management 

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

lmidacJoprid 2F on erodible soils, employ the best management practices for minimizing runoff. Consult your 

local Natural Resources Conservation Service for recommendations 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 country bulletin, County Extension Agent, or 

Pesticide State Lead Agency for intormation concerning 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 tor the use area. 

This product contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance to Group 4A 

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 this product belongs to the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests resistant to other 

chemical classes have not shown cross~resistance to this product. To maintain susceptibility to this class of 

chemistry in insect species with high resistance development potential (1. make only a single, soil applications ot 

this product: (2. foliar applications of products from this same class nor be made following a long residual, soil 

application of this product, or other neonicotinoid products. 

Examples of other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: Adara, Assail, Calypso, 

Centric, Clutch, Couraze, Gaflant, Impulse, Intruder, Leverage, Pasada, Provado and Trimax Pro and Venom.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING 

Direct applications of Solera ImidacJoprid 2F Insecticide to the seed or root-zone of the crop. Failure to place this 

product into root-zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. This product may be applied with 

ground or chemigation application. Do not apply with aerial application eqUipment. Broadcast, foliar applications 

are only recommended to seedling flats or trays, or where product is intended to be washed from foliage to soil 

prior to drying in foliage. 

Optimum activity results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier this product is 

available to a developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. This product Is continuously taken into the roots 

over a long period of time and the systemic nature of this product allows movement from roots through the xylem 

tissue to all vegetative parts of the plant. This results in extended residual activity, the control of insects and the 

prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The rate 

applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Higher rates are recommended when infestations occur 

later in crop development, or where pest pressure is continuous. This product will generally not control insects 

infesting flowers, blooms or fruit. Additional crop protection may be required for insects feeding in, or on these 

plant parts and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests controlled sections of this label. 

Premix this product with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Suppression or less than 

complete control of certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding may also result from applications 

of this product. Complete control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures. 

Solera lmidacloprid 2F is not for use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or 

commercial planting, but may be allowed under State specific, supplemental labeling. As with any insecticide, 

care should be taken to minimize exposure of the product to honey bees and other pollinators. Additional 

information on Solera ImidacJoprid 2F uses for these crops and other questions. May be obtained from the 

Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants or local Solera, LLC representatives. 

This product should be pre-mixed with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Keep this product 

and water suspension agitated to avoid setting. 

Do not apply more than 0.4 Ibs active ingredient per acre, per crop season, regardless of formulation or method 

of application, unless specified within a crop-specific, Application lnfonnation section for a given crop. 

Mixing Instructions 

To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the tank and with agitation 

add Solera lmidacloprid 2F. Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation 

during both mixing and application. This product may also be used with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions.

I 

Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of Salera Imidacloprid 2F and other pesticides are 

involved, prepare the tank mixture as specified above and follow Mixing Order below. 

Mixing Order 

When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders first, then this product and other f10wable 

(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 this product 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. For further information, contact your local Solera, LLC representative. 

CHEMIGATION - DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

Types of Irrigation Systems 

Chemigation applications of Solera Imidacloprid 2F may only be made to crops through chemigation systems as 

specified in crop-specific Application sections and only through low-pressure systems unless specifically 

recommended for a given crop. Do not apply Solera Imidadoprid 2F through any other type of 'Irrigation system. 

Uniform 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 eater. 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 function check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately 

located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection 

pipeline must contain a functional, automatiC, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of flu'ld back toward 

the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normallY closed, 

solenoid-operated valve located in the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to 

prevent fluid from being withdraw from the supply tank when the irrigation system id 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 Irrigafron 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 Pubfic 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 and average of 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) or the functional equivalent in the water supplY line upstream 

from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should 

be discharged onto a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. 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 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 

page 6 of 15 
10

connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdraw 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 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. 

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT FOR ORNAMENTALS AND VEGETABLE PLANTS 

Solera Imidacloprid 2F mixes readily with water and may be used in many types of application equipment Mix 

product with the required amount of water and apply as desired dependent upon the selected use pattern. 

When making foliar applications on hard to wet foliage such as holly, pine, or ivy, the addition of a spreader! 

sticker is recommended. If concentrated or mist type spray equipment is used, use an equivalent amount of 

product on the area sprayed, as would be used in a dilute application. 

This product has been found to be compatible with commonly used fungicides, miticides, liquid fertilizers, and 

other commonly used insecticides. The physical compatibility of this product may vary with different sources of 

pesticide products and local cultural practices. Prepare any tank mixture which has not been previously tested on 

a small scale (pint or quart jar), using the proper proportions of pesticides and water to ensure the physical 

compatibility of the mixture. 

APPLICATION THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMS 

This product may be applied at rates specified on the label either alone or in tank mixtures with pesticides and 

chemicals registered for application through irrigation systems. The normal dilution ratio is t : 100 to 1 : 200, 

depending on the system. Always meter the product into the irrigation water during the first part of the irrigation 

cycle. The product may be mixed separately prior to injection. Agitation may be necessary if the mixture is 

allowed to stand more than 24 hours. 

Remove scale, pesticide residue and other foreign matter from the tank and entire irrigation systems. 

Only use this product through micro irrigation (individual spaghetti tubes), drip irrigation, overhead irrigation, ebb 

and flood, or hand-held or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment. 

Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury or lack of effectiVeness can 

result from non uniform sufficient irrigation or rainfall is needed to alloW the movement of the active ingredient 

through the thatch. 

If you have any questions about calibration, contact your State Extension Service specialist, eqUipment 

manufacturers or other experts in this area. 

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

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

A person knowledgeable of the chemigatiOn system and responsible for its operations, or a person who is under 

the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should 

the need arise. 

SAFETY DEVICES FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRASSY AREAS IN NURSERIES 

Solera lmidacloprid 2F can be used for the control of soil inhabiting pests of grassy areas of nurseries, such as: 

PEST SCIENTIFIC NAME 

Annual blueqrass weevil Hyperodes sop. 

Asiatic garden beetle Maladera castanea 

BillbuQs Soherophorus sao. 

European chafer Rhizotrogus ma 'alis 

European Crane Fly Tioula oaJudosa 

Green June beetle Cotinrs nifida 

Japanese beetle PopiJlia 'aponica 

May _or June beetle Phyliophaga spp. 

Mole crickets Scapferiscus spp. 

Northern and Southern masked Cyclocephala borealis, C. 

chafers immaculata, and/or C. lUnda 

Oriental beetle Anoma/a orientalls 

Solera lmidacloprid 2F will suppress cutworms and chinchbugs. 

Use lmidacloprid 2F as labeled on nursery grass in sites such as under or around field or container grown plants, 

on roadways or other grassy areas in or around nurseries. 

Do not use lmidacloprid 2F on commerc'ral sod farms. 

lmidacloprid 2F has adequate residual activity that applications can be made preceding the egg laying activity of 

the target pests. Best control is achieved when applications area made prior to egg hatch of the pests. Sufficient 

irrigation or rainfall is required to move the active ingredient through the thatch. 

Avoid application when infested turfgrass areas are waterlogged or soil beneath turf is saturated with water. 

These conditions prevent thorough and consistent distribution. Best results are achieved when rainfall or 

irrigation after application will penetrate vertically in the soil column carrying the active ingredient into the zone 

page 8 of 15 
12

where insects are normally located. 

Application cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 lb. of active ingredient) per acre per year. 

Application Equipment for Use on Grassy Areas in Nurseries 

Dilute Imidacloprid 2F with enough water to provide adequate volume to promote thorough distribution into the 

pest zone. Use only accurately calibrated equipment for application to turfgrass. Apply a uniform, coarse droplet 

spray, using a low pressure setting to eliminate off target drift. Perform calibration on a regular basis to ensure 

that equipment is distributing product properly. 

GRASSY AREAS OF FIELD & FOREST NURSERIES 

To control larvae of: 

Annual bluegrass weevil 

Green June beetle 

Asiatic garden beetle 

Japanese beetle 

Bill bug 

Northern masked chafer 

Black turfgrass ataenius 

Oriental beetle 

Cutworms (suppression) 

Phyllophaga spp. 

European chafer 

Southern masked chafer 

Apply 19.2 to 25.6 fluid ounces per acre (equivalent to 0.46 to 0.6 fl. oz. per 1000 sq. ft.). Make application prior 

to egg hatch of grubs, billbugs, and annual bluegrass weevil to maximize control. 

For chinch bugs (suppression) and control of mole crickets apply 25.6 fluid ounces per acre (equivalent to 0.6 fl. 

oz. per 1000 sq. ft.). For suppression of chinch bugs, make application before the hatching of the first instar 

nymphs. 

For control of mole crickets, make application before or during the peak egg hatch period. If adults or large 

nymphs are actively tunneling, Imadacloprid 2F application should be combined w'rth a curative insecticide. 

Follow label instructions for other insecticides when tank-mixing. 

Consult your local turf, state Agricultural Experiment Station, or State Extension Service SpecialiSts for more 

specific information regarding timing of application. 

Restrictions for Turfgrass: 

• Irrigation or rainfall should occur within 24 hours after application to move the active ingredient through the 

thatch. 

• Do not apply more than 1.6 pts. (0.4 lb. of active ingredient) per acre per year. 

• Avoid mowing turf or lawn area, until after adequate irrigation or rainfall has occurred.

product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds jf bees are visiting the treatment area. This product is toxic to wildlife and 

highly toxicity to aquatic invertebrates. 

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

this chemical is areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, 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 responsibinty of avoiding spray drift is with the applicator. The applicator is responsible for considering the weather 

related factors and the interaction of application equipment when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is tbe 

responsibility of the applicator. 

Importance of Droplet Size: 

An important factor influencing drift is droplet size. Small droplets ( <: 150-200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large 

droplets. Within typical equipment specifications, make applications to deliver the largest droplets spectrum that provides 

sufficient control and coverage. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection. 

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. 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 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 closed 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 Ilght 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, 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. 

Mixing and Loading Requirements 

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 area and potential surface to groundwater conduits such as field sumps, uncased well heads, sink-holes, or filed 

drains. 

No-Spray Zone Requirements for Soil Applications 

Do not apply within 25 feet, of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds; estuaries and 

commercial fish farm ponds. 

Runoff Management 

Do not cultivate within to feet of the aquatic to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. When using Solera Imidacloprid 2F on 

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

Conservation Service for recommendations in your use area.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING . LL) 

Direct applications of Solera Imidacloprid 2F Insecticide to the seed or root·zone of1~;;;. Failure to 

root-zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. This product may be applied with 

into 
26

application. Do not applY with aerial application equipment. Broadcast, foliar applications are only recommended to seedling 

flats or trays, or where product is intended to be washed from foliage to soil prior to drying in foliage. 

Optimum activity results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier this producl is available to a 

developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. This product is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time 

and the systemic nature of this product al10ws movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the plant. 

This results in extended residual activity, the control of insects and the prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or 

symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The rate applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Higher rates 

are recommended when infestations occur later in crop development, or where pest pressure is continuous. This product wi!! 

generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms or fruit. Add'ltional crop protection may be requked for insects feeding in, 

or on these plant parts and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests controlled sections of this label. 

Premix this product with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Suppression or less than complete control of 

certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding may also result from applications of this product. Complete control 

of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures. 

Solera Imidacloprid 2F is not for use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting, 

but may be allowed under State specific, supplemental labeling. As with any insecticide, care should be taken to minimize 

exposure of the product to honey bees and other pollinators. Additional information on Solera Imidacloprid 2F uses for these 

crops and other questions. May be obtained from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants or local Solera, LLC

CHEMIGATION - DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

Types of Irrigation Systems 

Chemigat10n applications of Solera Imidacloprid 2F may only be made to crops through chemigation systems as specified in 

crop-specific Application sections and only through low-pressure systems unless specifically recommended for a given crop. 

Do not apply Solera Imidacloprid 2F through any other type of irrigation system. 

Uniform 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 eater. 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 fUnction check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the 

irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a 

functional, automatic, qUick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide 
27

) 

injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid·operated valve located in the intake side of the 

injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdraw from the supply tank when the 

irrigation system id 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 and average of least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 

Chemigaflon systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow 

preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an 

option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged onto a reservoir tank prior to pesticide 

introduction. 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 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 withdraW 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 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. 

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT FOR ORNAMENTALS AND VEGETABLE PLANTS 

Solera Imidacloprid 2F mixes readily with water and may be used in many types of application equipment. Mix product with the 

required amount of water and apply as desired dependent upon the selected use pattern. 

When making foliar applications on hard to wet foliage such as holly, pine, or ivy, the addition of a spreader/ sticker is 

recommended. If concentrated or mist type spray equipment is used, use an equivalent amount of product on the area sprayed, 

as would be used in a dilute application. 

This product has been found to be compatible with commonly used fungicides, miticides, liquid fertilizers, and other commonly 

used insecticides. The physical compatibility of this product may vary with different sourceS of pesticide products and local 

cultural practices. Prepare any tank mixture which has not been previously tested on a small scale (pint or quart jar), using the 

proper proportions of pesticides and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture. 

APPLlCATJON THROUGH JRRIGATION SYSTEMS 

This product may be applied at rates specified on the label either alone or in tank mixtures with pesticides and chemicals 

registered for application through irrigation systems. The normal dilution ratio is 1 : 100 to 1 : 200, depending on the system. 

Always meter the product into the irrigation water during the first part of the irrigation cycle. The product may be mixed 

separately prior to injection. Agitation may be necessary if the mixture is allowed to stand more than 24 hours. 

Remove scale, pesticide residue and other foreign matter from the tank and entire irrigation systems. 

Only use this product through micro irrigation (individual spaghetti tubes), drip irrigation, overhead irrigation, ebb and flood, or 

hand-held or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment. 

Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non 

uniform sufficient irrigation or rainfall is needed to allow the movement of the active ingredient through the thatch. 

If you have any questions about calibration, contact your State Extension Service specialist, equipment manufacturers or other 

experts in this area. 

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

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

A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operations, or a person who is under the 

supervision of the responsible perSon, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.

Solera Imidacloprid 2F will suppress cutworms and chinchbugs. 

Use Imidacloprid 2F as labeled on nursery grass in sites such as under or around field or container grown plants, on roadways 

or other grassy areas in or around nurseries. 

Do not use Imidacloprid 2F on commercial sod farms. 

Imidacloprid 2F has adequate residual activity that applications can be made preceding the egg laying activity of the target 

pests. Best control is achieved when applications area made prior to egg hatch of the pests. Sufficient irrigation or rainfall is 

required to move the active ingredient through the thatch. 

Avoid application when infested turfgrass areas are waterlogged or soil beneath turf is saturated with water. These conditions 

prevent thorough and consistent distribution. Best results are achieved when rainfall or irrigation after application will penetrate 

vertically in the soil column carrying the active ingredient into the zone where insects are normally located. 

Application cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 lb. of active ingredient) per acre per year. 

Application Equipment for Use on Grassy Areas in Nurseries 
29

Dilute Imidacloprid 2F with enough water to provide adequate volume to promote thorough distribution into the pest zone. Use 

only accurately calibrated equipment for application to turfgrass. Apply a unifonn, coarse droplet spray, using a low pressure 

setting to eliminate off target drift. Perform calibration on a regular basis to ensure that equipment is distributing product 

properly.

This product may be applied through Ebb and Flood 

applications. To assure accurate uptake it is recommended 

that prior to treatment, a minimum of 10 plants be brought up 

to a known field capacity and a!!owed to dry out for one or 

two days. Re-wet these plants to determine how much water 

on average each plant will absorb to bring it back at field 

capacity. Use the volume absorbed per plant (keeping pot 

sizes uniform) multiplied by the number of pots being treated. 

Add to this volume a required minimum to flood your smallest 

treatment area. This should minimize the retum back to the
