Bee Restriction Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops , weeds, or ornamentals while bees are visiting the treatment a rea. Stressed Plants Do not spray plants under stress. Phytotoxicity

GWN-1708 has been used successfully on many ornamental plants species. Do not treat new species or varieties without first testing a few plants on a small scale. Do not apply to roses

FORMULATION, ROUTE OF EXPOSURE, TYPE OF ACTION

GWN-1708 is a suspension concentrate fo rmulation that acts by contact to provi de rapid knockdown of mites and whiteflies.

MODE OF ACTION AND RESISTANCE

GWN-1708 is a METI (mitochondrial electron transpor t inhibitor) classified as Group 21. To prevent or delay resistance development, on ly apply a single application of GWN-1708 per crop season. If additional chemical control is required, rotate to a product with a different mode of action grouping.

MIXING DIRECTIONS

Dilution Rate Apply GWN-1708 in sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage of foliage. A pplications can be made with low or high volume spray equipment; however, thorough coverage is required for optimum control. Maintain agitation during mixing.

Additives In general, no additives are necessary for effective use of GWN-1708

. However, in situations where local conditions such as hard wa ter are a problem, use adjuvants or wetting agents to achieve thor ough spray

coverage.

GENERAL TANK MIXING INFORMATION Phytotoxicity The phytotoxic potential of GWN-1708 has been assessed on a wide variety of common ornamental plants with no phytotoxicity observed. However, all plant species and their varieties and cultivars hav e not been tested with possible tank mix combinations, sequenti al pesticide treatments, and adjuvants and surfactants. Local conditions can also influence crop tolerance and may not match those under wh ich testing has been conducted. Therefore, before using GWN-1708, test the product on a sample of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of applications.

Compatibility Test for Mix Components Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test. For 20 gallons per acre spray volume, use 3.3 cups (800 ml) of water. For other spray volumes, adjust rates accordingly. Only u se water from the intended source at the source temperature. Add components in the sequence indicated in the Mixing Order (see below) using 2 teas poons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of recommended label rate per acre. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles between component additions. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solu tion stand for 15 minutes. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, nor fi ne particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick (clabb ered) texture. If the spray solution is not compatible, repeat the compatibility test with the addition of a suitable compatibility agent. If the sol ution is then compatible, use the compatibility agent as directed on its label . If the solution is still incompatible, do not mix the ingredi ents in the same tank.

Mixing Order 1) Water: Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sp rayer tank half full of clean water. 2) Water-dispersible products : (dry flowables, wettable powders, sus pension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions) 3) Emulsifiable concentrates 4) Water Soluble Products 5) Water-soluble additives 6) Remaining quantity water

Maintain constant agitation during application.APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Application Equipment Application can be made with the following types of low or hi gh volume spray equipment: [list general types of equipment such as machine ground spray application (open cab groundboom), ground spray applicati on (open cab airblast sprayer), high pressure hand wand sprayer, backpack sprayer. Constant Agitation Before and During Application Shake well before using and frequently while applying. If agitati on is stopped for an extended period of time, the spray soluti on must be thoroughly re-mixed prior to further use. Importance of Coverage Thorough coverage is required for optimum control Application Rates Apply GWN-1708 at rates in Table 1. Do not apply during condi tions when product will drift to all other crops and non-target ar eas.
