# ~/fOGENERAL INFORMATION ARENA50WDG

- MC111004 Page 4of 7

ARENA 50 WDG is a broad spectrum insecticide, for control of a wide spectrum of insects infesting turfgrass. When applied as directed, ARENA 50 WDG provides excellent and long residual insect control. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONS 1. DO NOT use a foliar application of clothianidin (ARENA 50 WDG) following an in-furrow or soil application of clothianidin (CELERO 16 WSG). 2. Regardless of formulation or type of application (soil or foliar) on turfgrass, DO NOT apply more than a total of 0.4 Ibs active ingredient, clothianidin per acre per season. 3. Ifthe maximum season limit ofclothianidin as mentioned above has been applied and pest populations require additional treatments, use another registered pesticide that is not in the neonicotinoid class ofchemistry. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT ARENA 50 WDG contains a Group 4A2 insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired resistance to Group 4A2 may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A2 insecticides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss ofcontrol ofthose species by ARENA 50 WDG orother Group 4A2. To delay insecticide resistance consider: • Avoiding the consecutive use of other Group 4A2 insecticides that have a similar target site ofaction, on the same insect species. • Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a different target site of action Group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use and have different sites ofaction. • Basing insecticide use on a comprehensive IPM program. • Monitoring treated insect populations for loss offield efficacy. • Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or manufacturer for insecticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and resistant pest problems. • For further information or to report a suspected resistance, you may contact Arvesta Corporation at 1-866-761-9397.

2 Not all members of this class have been shown to be cross-resistant. Different resistance mechanisms that are not linked to target site of action, such as enhanced metabolism, are common for this group of chemicals. Alternation of compounds from different subgroups within this class may be an acceptable part ofan integrated pest management program. PLANT TOLERANCE Neither the manufacturer nor the seller has determined whether or not ARENA 50 WDG can be used safely on all cultivars of plants listed on the label. ARENA 50 WDG has been tested on many cultivars with no phytotoxicity observed at label rates. Since all plant species and their varieties and cultivars have not been tested for tolerance, it is recommended that a small number of plants be

## f ARENA 50 WDG

- MC111004 Page 5 of7 sprayed to make certain that no phytotoxicity occurs, prior to any large scale application to plants. The end user assumes all risks arising from application of ARENA 50 WDG in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. COMPATIBILITY OF MIXTURES To obtain broad-spectrum pest control, ARENA 50 WDG can be tank-mixed with other pesticides. However, all plant species and their varieties and cultivars have not been tested with possible tank mix combinations, sequential pesticide treatments and adjuvants and surfactants. The user should conduct a spray mix compatibility and phytotoxicity trial under local conditions to ensure compatibility prior to any large-scale use. PREPARATION OF SPRAY SOLUTION Begin with clean equipment. Add sufficient clean water to the spray tank for onehalf of the mix load. Start tank agitation. Add and properly suspend the necessary amount of ARENA 50 WDG before adding any other products. Agitate to ensure thorough mixing while adding the remaining required water. A high quality wetting agent or other spray adjuvant, approved for use on your crop, may be added to spray solutions according to the manufacturer's use instructions. ARENA 50 WDG should be properly suspended and diluted prior to the addition of any adjuvant. Consult the adjuvant label or manufacturer for crop tolerance and safety information when used with this product. Maintain agitation during mixing and application. DO NOT allow the spray mixture to stand without agitation. Apply with properly calibrated spray equipment. If agitation is stopped for any reason, the spray solution must be thoroughly re-mixed prior to any further use. APPLICATIONS APPLICATION TO TURFGRASS ARENA 50 WDG can be used as directed on grass grown in industrial, commercial and residential landscapes such as, but not limited to golf courses, home lawns, airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, athletic fields and commercial sod farms. ARENA 50 WDG has sufficient residual activity to provide high levels of control when applications are made preceding or during the egg laying activity of the target pests. 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 target pests, followed by sufficient irrigation or rainfall to move the active ingredient through the thatch. Apply ARENA 50 WDG in sufficient water to provide optimal distribution in the treated area. The use of properly calibrated equipment normally used for the application of turfgrass insecticides is required. Use equipment which will

### ( ARENA50 WDG

- MC111004 Page 6 of7 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. Avoid mowing turfgrass until after irrigation or rainfall has occurred so that uniformity ofapplication will not be affected. RECOMMENDED APPLICATION RATES TURFGRASS PEST APPLICATION RATE White grubs (Japanese beetle, Green June beetle, European chafer, Northern masked chafer, 6.4 to 9.6 oz of product per acre Southern masked chafer, Oriental beetle) (0.2 to 0.3 Ibs ail Bill bugs Sod webworms Asiatic garden beetle Chinch bugs 9.6 to 12.8 oz ofproduct per acre Mole crickets (Suppression) (0.3 to 0.4 Ibs ail
