GENERAL INFORMATION

REQUIEM®is a contact insecticide/acaricide for use in the control or suppression of many 

foliage feeding plants including aphids, thrips, plant-feeding mites, whiteflies, mealy bugs, 

leafminers, lygus bugs, scale, leaf hoppers, and lepidopterous insects infesting labeled crops. 

The emulsifiable concentrate of REQUIEM must be mixed with water and applied as a foliar 

spray with ground equipment equipped for conventional insecticide spraying. 

MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Do not apply this product by aerial application or through any type of irrigation system. 

REQUIEM is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Users must maintain the following buffer 

zones: Groundboom and air-blast spray applicators must not apply within 15 feet of 

aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, 

ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). Groundboom and air-blast applicators must 

also account for wind direction and speed. Only apply this product if the wind direction 

favors on-target deposition. Do not apply when the wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. Do not 

apply when a rain event is expected within 2 hours.

Shake container well before use. REQUIEM must be diluted with water for spray

applications. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water, add the specified amount of 

REQUIEM to the tank, and finish filling the tank to the proper volume to obtain the 

desired application rate per acre as specified in the crop and pest tables listed below. Use 

at dilutions no more concentrated than 2% v/v. 

Compatibility: Do not combine REQUIEM in the spray tank with other pesticides, 

surfactants, adjuvants, or fertilizers if there has been no previous experience or use of the 

combination to show it is physically compatible, and non-injurious under your use 

conditions. 

Do not use REQUIEM in tank mixes or in a program or in rotation with products containing 

captan (with REQUIEM either preceding or following captan applications) in any crop. Use 

of REQUIEM with captan-containing products may result in phytotoxicity. 

Do not use REQUIEM in tank mixture combinations or in rotation with any product 

containing a label warning against using surfactants, methylated seed oils, oils or other 

adjuvants. 

As with many Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulations, certain combinations can 

exacerbate phytotoxicity problems. Products which are phytotoxic when used alone may be 

more phytotoxic when used with an EC formulation such as REQUIEM. AgraQuest has not 

tested all varieties and cultivars of all crops and potential tank-mix or rotational combinations. 

To ensure crop safety, test REQUIEM in combination and in rotation with other products on 

a small portion of the crop. Wait at least 24-72 hours to evaluate results before applying to 

the entire field. If phytotoxicity is noted, and if it is determined that the level of 
QRD 452 Master Label (v 4.1) Page 7 of 30

29-April-2010

phytotoxicity will result in economic losses to the crop, do not make the application to the 

crop.

To ensure physical compatibility of tank-mix combinations they must be evaluated prior 

to use. When products are physically compatible, a homogeneous solution is formed. To 

determine the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test. 

Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to approximately one 

quart of water with agitation. Add dry formulations first, then flowables, then emulsifiable 

concentrates last. After thorough mixing, allow this mixture to stand for 15 minutes. If the 

mixture in the test jar remains uniform for 15 minutes, the combination is compatible and 

can be used. If separation occurs (e.g. oils float to top, clumps of solids form, etc.), the 

combination is incompatible and do not use the mixture. Once compatibility has been 

proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.

Use of Adjuvants: The use of adjuvants with REQUIEM is not required. 

Biological Control Agents: This product is compatible with the following biological control 

agents: Encarsia formosa, Amblyseius fallacis, Phytoseiulus persimilis, Orius insidiosus,

Aphidius colemani, Zetzellia mali, Neoseiulus fallacies, Typhlodromus pyri, Stethorus 

punctum, lacewings, syrphid fly larvae, phytoseiid mite predators, aphid midges, lady

beetles, and other predacious mites. Wait at least 2 hours after application before introducing 

new biological agents, or spray the evening before the day of introduction of new biological 

control agents.

AgraQuest is committed to the practice of sound resistance management programs that 

include rotation and tank mixing with other treatments having a variety of modes of actions.

APPLICATION

Use REQUIEM early in the pest cycle when local thresholds are reached or before insects 

reach damaging levels. REQUIEM is a contact insecticide and thorough coverage is 

necessary for optimum control. Use appropriate nozzles and nozzle configurations, along 

with sufficient spray volume to achieve thorough coverage. Rates of REQUIEM may need 

to increase with increased insect populations and/or large plant canopies. It is not necessary

to use a surfactant with REQUIEM.

REQUIEM can be applied with commonly used ground equipment. Use of air-blast spray

equipment may result in overhead exposure and requires the use of chemical-resistant 

headgear. 

When using REQUIEM with a new crop, test on a small area before applying to the entire 

field. Do not apply REQUIEM more than 10 times per crop production cycle. 

PREHARVEST INTERVAL

REQUIEM can be applied up to and including the day of harvest. However, note that the 

restricted entry interval (REI) is 4 hours.
QRD 452 Master Label (v 4.1) Page 8 of 30

29-April-2010

SPRAY DRIFT PRECAUTIONS

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The 

interaction of many equipment- and weather–related factors determine the potential for spray

drift. The applicator and the grower/treatment coordinator are responsible for considering all 

of these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, they

should be observed. Note: This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the 

mandatory label requirements.

All ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using 

appropriate carriers.

Make ground applications when the wind velocity favors on target product deposition 

(approximately 3 to 10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. Avoid 

applications when wind gusts approach 10 mph.

Risk of exposure to sensitive areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind 

direction is toward the area.

Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and 

therefore the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low 

humidity and/or high temperature.

Do not make ground applications during 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.

FOR USE ON THE FOLLOWING CROPS

(REQUIEM has a 0-Day PreHarvest Interval (PHI) for all crops contained on this label.

However, note that the restricted entry interval (REI) is 4 hours.)

GENERAL INFORMATION

METRONOMETM is an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) Insecticide and Acaricide for Use on 

Field and Container-grown Non-Food Ornamental Plants in Commercial Nurseries, 

Greenhouses, and Lath- and Shade-houses. Not For Residential Use.

METRONOME is a contact insecticide/acaricide for use in the control of aphids, plant-feeding 

mites, whiteflies, mealy bugs, leafminers, thrips, fungus gnats, and tarnished plant bugs. 

METRONOME can be applied to field and container-grown non-food ornamentals – trees,

Christmas trees, shrubs, flowers, annual and perennial bedding plants, potted flowers, and 

tropical plants.

MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Do not apply this product by aerial application or through any type of irrigation system. 

METRONOME is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Users must maintain the following buffer 

zones: Airblast spray applicators must not apply within 15 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but 

not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish 

ponds). Groundboom and airblast applicators must also account for wind direction and speed. 

Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition. Do not apply when 

the wind velocity exceeds 10 mph. Do not apply when a rain event is expected within 2 hours.

Shake container well before use. METRONOME must be diluted with water for spray

applications. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water, add the specified amount of 

METRONOME to the tank (see table below), and finish filling the tank to the desired volume 

to obtain the proper spray concentration for the desired application rate per acre.

Apply on a 7- to 14-day schedule as necessary. Apply METRONOME at first sign of insect 

pressure or plant-feeding mite infestation. Use higher application rate under conditions of 

heavy pest pressure. Uniform coverage of both upper and lower leaves is critical for effective 

pest control. Avoid overspraying to the point of excessive runoff. Do not apply

METRONOME more than 10 times per year. 
QRD 452 Master Label (v 4.1) Page 28 of 30

29-April-2010

METRONOME can be applied with commonly used ground equipment, hose-end, pressurized, 

greenhouse, and hand-held sprayers. 

Biological Control Agents: This product is compatible with the following biological control 

agents: Encarsia formosa, Amblyseius fallacis, Phytoseiulus persimilis, Orius insidiosus, 

Aphidius colemani, Zetzellia mali, Neoseiulus fallacies, Typhlodromus pyri, Stethorus 

punctum, lacewings, syrphid fly larvae, phytoseiid mite predators, aphid midges, lady beetles, 

and other predacious mites. Wait at least 2 hours after application before introducing new 

biological agents, or spray the evening before the day of introduction of new biological control 

agents.

AgraQuest is committed to the practice of sound resistance management programs that include 

rotation and tank mixing with other treatments having a variety of modes of actions.

Compatibility: Do not combine METRONOME in the spray tank with other pesticides,

surfactants, adjuvants, or fertilizers if there has been no previous experience or use of the 

combination to show it is physically compatible, and non-injurious under your use conditions.

Do not use METRONOME in tank mixes or in a program or in rotation with products 

containing captan (with METRONOME either preceding or following captan applications) in 

any crop. Use of METRONOME with captan-containing products may result in phytotoxicity. 

Do not use METRONOME in tank mixture combinations or in rotation with any product 

containing a label warning against using surfactants, methylated seed oils, oils or other 

adjuvants. 

As with many Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) formulations, certain combinations can 

exacerbate phytotoxicity problems. Products which are phytotoxic when used alone may be 

more phytotoxic when used with an EC formulation such as METRONOME. AgraQuest has 

not tested all varieties and cultivars of all crops and potential tank-mix or rotational 

combinations.

To ensure physical compatibility of tank-mix combinations they must be evaluated prior to use. 

When products are physically compatible, a homogeneous solution is formed. To determine 

the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, 

add the proportionate amounts of the products to approximately one quart of water with 

agitation. Add dry formulations first, then flowables, then emulsifiable concentrates last. After 

thorough mixing, allow this mixture to stand for 15 minutes. If the mixture in the test jar 

remains uniform for 15 minutes, the combination is compatible and can be used. If separation 

occurs (e.g. oils float to top, clumps of solids form, etc.), the combination is incompatible and 

do not use the mixture. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding 

required ingredients to the spray tank. Test the combination on a small number of plants to 

check for phytotoxicity before treating large areas. Do not use the combination if adverse 

effects are observed.

29-April-2010

PLANTS EVALUATED FOR PHYTOTOXICITY

METRONOME has been evaluated alone in a wide range of crops and ornamentals. However, 

since testing on all varieties of all ornamentals is not feasible, testing a small portion of the 

area to be treated for phytotoxicity is required before treating the entire area. Further, all 

possible combinations or sequences of pesticide sprays, including other fertilizers, surfactants, 

adjuvants and other pesticides, have not been tested, thus testing for compatibility and

phytotoxicity of spray mixtures is required. Use the product in accordance with all label use 

directions. It is further required that spray equipment used to apply METRONOME be

thoroughly cleaned before use. 

Phytotoxicity has occasionally been observed following the use of this product on flowers of 

Cyclamen, Gerbera, Begonia, and Impatiens. Do not use METRONOME on flowering 

Cyclamen, Gerbera, Begonia, and Impatiens. 

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
