ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 

Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface 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 v'rsiting 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; RNERS; 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 '15 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. 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 potenfral) 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 surface to groundwater conduits such 

as field sumps, uncased well heads, sink-holes, or fried drains. 

No-Spray Zone Requirements for Soil Applications 

Do not apply within 25 feet, of lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds; 
7

estuaries and commercial fish farm ponds. 

RUnoff Management 

Do not cultivate within 10 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 [ocal Natural Resources Conservation Service for recommendations in your use area. 

Endangered Species Notice 

Under the Endangered Species Act, it is a Federa[ 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 information conceming 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 for 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 of 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: Actara, Assail, 

Calypso, Centn·c, Clutch, Couraze, Gallant, Impulse, Intruder, Leverage, Pasada, Provado and Tnmax

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

-SHAKE WELL BEFORE USINGDirect applications of Solera lmidacloprid 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. 00 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 th'rs 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. 

Use higher rates 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. 

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 use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial 

planting is generally not recommended 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 representatives. 

Pre~mix this product with water or other appropriate diluent prior to appliCation. Keep this product and 

water suspension agitated to avoid setting. 

Do not apply more than 0.5 Ibs active ingredient per acre, per crop season, regardless of formulaflon or 

method of application, unless speCified within a crop~specific, applications 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. Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of Solera 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. 00 not add an additional component until the previous is thoroughly mb<ed. 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. 
9

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 instructed for a given crop. Do not apply Solera ImidacJoprid 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 funcflon 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 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. 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 ofthe fill pipe and 

to top or overtlow rlm 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 
10

(e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with 

pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system intenock. 

TURF & ORNAMENTAL APPLICATIONS 

For Foliar and Systemic Insect Control in Turfgrass (Including Sod Farms), 

landscape Ornamentals, Fruit and Nut Trees, Interior Plantscapes, 

Application Instructions 

APPLICATION TO TURFGRASS 

Solera Imidacloprid 2F T & 0 can be used for the control of soil inhabiting pests of turfgrass, such as 

Northern & Southern masked chafers, Cyc/ocephala borealis, C. immaculafa, andfor C. lun'da; Asiatic 

garden beetle, Maladera castanea; European chafer, Rhizotroqus majafis; Green June beetle, Cofinis 

nifida; Mayor June beetle, Phy/lophaga spp.; Japanese beetle, Popilliajaponica; Oriental beetle, 

Anomala orienfafis; Billbugs, Sphenophorus spp.; Annual bluegrass weevil, Lisfronotus spp.; Black 

turfgrass ataenius, Ataenius sprefu/us and Aphodius spp.; European Crane Fly, Tipufa pa/udosa; and 

mole Crickets, ScapferiSCUs spp. This product can also be used for suppression of cutworms and chinch 

bugs. It can be used as directed on turfgrass in sites such as home lawns, business and office 

complexes, shopping complexes" golf courses, airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, athletic fields 

and sod farms. 

The active ingredient in this product has sufficient residual activity so that applications can be made 

preceding the egg laying activity of the target pests. High levels of control can be achieved when 

applications are made preceding or during the egg laying period. The need for an application can be 

based on historical monitoring of the site, previous records or experiences, current season adult trapping 

or other methods. Optimum control will be achieved when applications are made prior to egg hatch of the 

target pests, followed by sufficient irrigation or rainfall to move the active ingredient through the thatch. 

Do not make applications when turfgrass areas are waterlogged or the soil is saturated with water. 

Adequate distribution of the active ingredient cannot be achieved when these conditions exist. The 

treated turf area must be in such a condition that the rainfall or irrigation will penetrate vertically in the soil 

profile. Applications cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 Ib of active ingredient) per acre per year. 

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON TURFGRASS 

Apply this product in sufficient water to provide adequate distribution in the treated area. The use of 

accurately calibrated equipment normally used for the application of turfgrass insecticides is required. 

Use equipment which will produce a uniform, coarse droplet spray, using a low pressure setting to 

eliminate off target drift. Check calibration periodically to ensure that equipment is working properly. 

APPUCATION TO ORNAMENTALS & VEGETABLE PLANTS 

This product is for use on ornamentals in commercial landscapes and interior plantscapes. It is a 

systemic product and will be translocated upward into the plant system from root uptake. To assure 

optimum effectiveness, the product must be placed where the growing portion of the target plant can 

absorb the active ingredient. The addition of a nitrogen containing fertilizer, where applicable, into the 

solution may enhance the uptake of the active ingredient. Application can be made by foliar application 

or soil applications; including soil injection, drenches, and broadcast sprays. Foliar applications offer 

locally systemic activity against insect pests. 

When making soil applications to plants with woooy stems, systemic activity will be delayed until the 

active ingredient is translocated throughout the plant. In some cases, this translocation delay could take 

60 days or longer. For this reason, make applications prior to anticipated pest infestation to achieve 

optimum levels of control. 

For outdoor ornamentals, broadcast applications cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 Ib of active 

ingredient) per acre per year. 

Bark Media: Media with 30% or more bark content may confer a shorter period of protection when 

treated with product. RESISTANCE: Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after 

repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product must conform to resistance management 

strategies established for the use area. Because the development of resistance cannot be predicted, the 

use of this product must conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. 

Consult your local or state pest management authorities details.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT FOR ORNAMENTALS AND VEGETABLE PLANTS 

Solera Imidac!oprid 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 

spreaderl sticker is recommended. If concentrate or mist type spray is used, then an equivalent amount 

of product should be used 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. 

RESTRICTIONS 

DO NOT graze treated areas or use clippings from treated areas for feed or forage. Avoid runoff or 

puddling of irrigation water following application. Keep children and pets off treated area until dry. Avoid 

application of lMlDACLOPRlD 2F T & 0 to areas which are water logged or saturated, which will not 

allow penetration into the root zone of the plant. DO NOT apply more than 1.6 pt (0.4 lb of active 

ingredient) per acre per year. 

Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on an lmidacloprid label, or with any crop for 

which a tolerance exists for the active ingredient. 

For crops not listed on an lmidacloprid label, or for crops for which no tolerances for the active ingredient 

have been established, there is a 12-month plant-back interval required. 

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 ratlo 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. 

SAFETY DEVICES FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES 

If the source of water for your irrigation system is a public water supply, follow the instructions below. 

1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human 

consumption if such system at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 

25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 

2. Chemigation systems connected to publiC water systems must contain a functional, 

reduced-pressure zone, backfiow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply 

line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, water from the public 

water system should be discharged into 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 the top or overflow rim 

n"n .. $I nf 1<; 
13

of the reservoir tank of at least twice the injection diameter of the fill pipe. 

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic quickwclosing check valve to 

prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 

4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed solenoid...aperated valve 

located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected the system interlock to prevent fluid 

from being withdraw from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or 

manually shut down. 

5. 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. 

6. 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. 

7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 

SAFETY DEVICES FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS NOT CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIES 

1. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain 

appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. 

2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick closing check valve to 

prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed solenoidwoperated valve 

located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected the system interlock to prevent fluid 

from being withdraw from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or 

manually shut down. 

4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide 

injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 

5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water 

pump motor when the water the water pressure decreases to the point where the pesticide 

distribution is adversely affected. 

6. 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 frtted with a system Interlock. 

7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 

Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface 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 APPLytNG IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS 

SUCH AS LAKES; RESERVOIRS; RIVERS; PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS; 

ESTUARIES AND COMMERCtAL 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. 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 invers'lons 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 aUitude 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 thatlayers am 

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 10 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. 

Endangered Species Nottce 

page 3 of 13 
25

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 information conceming 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 for the use area. 

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

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

-SHAKE WELL BEFORE USINGDirect applications of Solera Imidacloprid 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 

page 4 of 13 
26

only recommended to seedling flats or trays, or where product is intended to be washed from foliage to soli 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 th e 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. Use higher rates 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. 

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 use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is 

generally not recommended 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 representatives. 

Pre-mix this product with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Keep this product and water 

suspension agitated to avoid setting. 

Do not apply more than 0.5 Ibs active ingredient per acre, per crop season, regardless of formulation or method of 

application, unless specified within a crop-specific, applications 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 

Imidacloprid 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. Please see 

Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of Solera 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 flowable (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 chemigatlon systems as 

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

page 5 of 13 
27

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 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. 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 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. 

TURF & ORNAMENTAL APPLICATIONS 

For Foliar and Systemic Insect Control in Turfgrass (tncluding Sod Farms), 

Landscape Ornamentals, Fruit and Nut Trees, Interior Ptantscapes, 

Application Instructions 

APPLICATION TO TURFGRASS 

Solera Imidacloprid 2F T & a can be used for the control of soil inhabiting pests ofturfgrass, such as Northem & 

Southem masked chafers, Cyc/ocepha/a borealis, C. immaculata, and/or C. /urida; Asiatic garden beetle, Ma/adera 

cas/anea; European chafer, Rhizotroqus maja/is; Green June beetle, Cotinis nitida; Mayor June beetle, Phy/lophaga 

spp.; Japanese beetle, popil/iajaponlca; Oriental beetle, Anoma/a orientalis; Billbugs, Sphenophorus spp.; Annual 

bluegrass weevil, Listronotus spp.; Black turfgrass ataenius, Afaenius spretu/us and Aphodius spp.; European Crane 

Fly, Tipu/a pa/udosa; and mole crickets, Scapteriscus spp. This product can also be used for suppression of cutworms 

and chinch bugs. It can be used as directed on turfgrass in sites such as home lawns, business and office complexes, 

shopping complexes" golf courses, airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, athleUc fields and sod farms. 

The active ingredient in this product has sufficient residual activity so thatappUcations can be made preceding the egg 

laying activity of the target pests. High levels of control can be achieved when applications are made preceding or 

during the egg laying period. The need for an application can be based on historical monitoring of the Site, previous 

records or experiences, current season adult trapping or other methods. Optimum control will be achieved when 

applications are made prior to egg hatch of the target pests, followed by sufficient irrigation or rainfall to move the 

active ingredient through the thatch. 

Do not make applications when turfgrass areas are waterlogged or the soil is saturated with water. Adequate 

distribution of the active ingredient cannot be achieved when these conditions exist. The treated turf area must be in 

such a condition that the rainfall or irrigation will penetrate vertically in the soil profile. Applications cannot exceed a 

total of 1.6 pints (0.4 Ib of active ingredient) per acre per year. 

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON TURFGRASS 

Apply this product in sufficient water to provide adequate distribution in the treated area. The use of accurately 

calibrated equipment normally used for the application of turfgrass insecticides is required. Use equipment which will 

produce a uniform, coarse droplet spray, using a low pressure setting to eliminate off target drift. Check calibration 

page 6 of 13 
28

periodically to ensure that equipment is working properly. 

APPLICATION TO ORNAMENTALS & VEGETABLE PLANTS 

This product is for use on ornamentals in commercial landscapes and interior plantscapes. It is a systemic product and 

will be translocated upward into the plant system from root uptake. To assure optimum effectiveness, the product must 

be placed where the growing portion of the target plant can absorb the active ingredient. The addition of a nitrogen 

containing fertilizer, where applicable, into the solution may enhance the uptake of the active ingredient. Application 

can be made by foliar application or soil applications; including soil injection, drenches, and broadcast sprays. Foliar 

applications offer locally systemic activity against insect pests. 

When making soil applications to plants with woody stems, systemic activity will be delayed until the active ingredient 

is translocated throughout the plant. In some cases, this translocation delay could take 60 days or longer. For this 

reason, make applications prior to anticipated pest infestation to achieve optimum levels of control. 

For outdoor ornamentals, broadcast applications cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (004 Ib of active ingredient) per acre 

per year. 

Bark Media: Media with 30% or more bark content may confer a shorter period of protection when treated with 

product. RESISTANCE: Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any 

insecticide, the use of this product must conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. 

Because the development of resistance cannot be predicted, the use of this Product must conform to resistance 

management strategies established for the use area. Consult your local or state pest management authorities details. 

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 concentrate or mist type spray is used, then an equivalent amount of product should be used 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, Iiqu'ld 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 previ.ously 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. 

RESTRICTIONS 

DO NOT graze treated areas or use clippings from treated areas for feed or forage. Avoid runoff or puddling of 

irrigation water following application. Keep children and pets off treated area until dry. Avoid application of 

IMIDACLOPRID 2F T & 0 to areas which are water logged or saturated, which wiJI not allow penetration into the root 

zone of the plant. DO NOT apply more than 1.6 pt (0.4 Ib of active ingredient) per acre per year. 

Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on an Imidacloprid label, or with any crop for which a 

tolerance exists for the active ingredient. 

For crops not listed on an Imidacloprid label, or for crops for which no tolerances for the active ingredient have been 

established, there is a 12~month plant~back interval required. 

APPLICATION THROUGH tRRIGATION 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

Apply specified dosage as foliar spray as needed after petal-fall is complete. 

For control of rosy apple aphid, apply prior to leaf rolling caused by the pest. 

For first generation leafminer control, make first application as soon as petal-fall is complete. Greatest leafminer 

control will result from the earliest possible application. For second and succeeding generations of leafminer, 

optimal control is obtained from applications made early in the adult flight against egg and early in star larvae. A 

second application may be required 10 days later if severe pressure continues or if generations are overlapping. A 

single application may result in suppression only. Imidacloprid 2F won't control late stage larvae. 

For San Jose Scale, time applications to the crawler stage. Treat each generation. 

For late season (preharvest) control of leafhopper species, apply this product while most leafhoppers are in the 

nymphal stage. 

For optimal control of mealybug, insure good spray coverage of the trunk and scaffolding limbs or other resting 

sites of the mealybuq. , APpLICATION INSTRUCTIONS (Cont d)
