FIRST AID 

If in eyes • Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15-20 minutes. 

• Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue 

rinsing eye. 

• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. 

If • Calf a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. 

swallowed • Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. 

• Do not induce vomn:ing unless told to do so by the poison control center 

or doctor. 

• Do not give anythinQ bv mouth to an unconscious person. 

If on skin • Take off contaminated clothing. 

or • Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes. 

clothina: • Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. 

If inhaled • Move person to fresh air 

• If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial 

respiration, preferably mouth-to mouth ff possible. 

• Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. 

HOT LINE NUMBER 

Have the product container or label with you when caffing a poison control center or 

doctor, or going for treatment. You may also contact Chemtrec at 1-800-424-9300 for 

emen:jency medical treatment information. 

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN 

Early signs of intoxication include dilation of pupils, muscular incoordination, and muscular 

tremors. Toxicity following accidental ingestion of this product can be minimized by early 

administration of chemical adsorbents (e.g., activated charcoal). 

If toxicity from exposure has progressed to cause severe vomiting, the extent of resultant 

fluid and electrolyte imbalance should be gauged. Appropriate supportive parental fluid 

replacement therapy should be given, along with other required supportive measures 

(such as maintenance of blood pressure levels and proper respiratory functionalny) as 

indicated by clinical Signs, symptoms, and measurements. 

In severe cases, observations should continue for at least several days until clinical 

condition is stable and normal. Since abamectin is believed to enhance GABA activity in 

animals, it is probably wise to avoid drugs that enhance GABA activity (barbiturates, 

benzodiazepines, valproic acid) in patients with potentiallv toxic abamectin exposure.

APPLICATION INFORMATION 

Abamectin O.15EC is an insecticide that will control certain insect pests. The product must be 

mixed with water and applied to labeled crops according to the specific crop use directions for 

effective control of these insects. For good mite and insect control. apply Abamectin O.15EC 

so that the foliage is thoroughly covered by the spray solution. 

Phytotoxicity: Abamectin O.15EC has been tested for phytotoxicity and has been proven to 

be safe on a variety of crops. Abamectin O.15EC is also compalible with many commonly used 

pesticides, crop oils, and nutritional sprays. However, it is impossible to test all crop varieties 

and combination of spray mixtures under all possible growing conditions. Prior to mixing, users 

should test the compatibility of Abamectin O.15EC with any comb'lnation product using physical 

compatibility jar tests. Before applying Abamectin 0.15EC and combination products to large 

areas of the crop, test small areas for phytotoxicity. 

New York State Restriction: Do not apply Abamectin O.15EC by aerial application in New 

York State. 

Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Abamectin O.15EC Use on Ceteriac, Cotton, Cucurbits, 

Fruiting Vegetabtes, Grapes, Hops, Leafy Vegetables, Potatoes, and Strawberries: 

Do not apply with ground application equipment within 25 ft. or with aircraft within 150 ft. 

of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, natural ponds, and 

estuaries, of commercial fish farm ponds.

\ 

All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly calibrated, using 

appropriate carriers, and maintained. For aerial applications, mount the spray 

boom on the aircraft in a manner that minimizes drift caused by wing tip 

vortices. Use the minimum practical boom length but do not exceed 75% of 

wingspan or rotor diameter. 

Use the largest droplet size consistent with pest control. Minimize the 

formation of very small droplets by selecting appropriate nozzles, orienting 

nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and avoiding excessive 

spray boom pressure. Release the spray at the lowest height consistent with 

pest control and flight safety. Avoid application more than 10 ft. above the 

crop canopy. 

Make aerial or ground applications when wind velocity favors on-target product 

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

exceeds 15 mph. Avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the 

aquatic area can reduce risk of exposure to aquatic areas. Do not cultivate 

within 25 ft. (10 ft. for cotton) of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative 

filter strip. 

Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray 

droplets and therefore increase the likelihood of spray drifting to aquatic areaS. 

Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperature. 

Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. 

Inversions are characterized by stable air and temperatures that increase with 

helght 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. 

Resistance Management: Abamectin 0.15EC contains the active ingredient 

abamectin. There are inherent risks of pests developing resistance to any product; 

therefore, it is strongly advised that Abamectin 0.15EC be used in a sound resistance 

management program (including practices such as non-chemical alternatives 

(beneficial arthropods), rotation of Abamectin O.15EC with insecticides that have 

different modes of action, rotation of susceptible and non-susceptible plants, etc.). 

Once insect or mite-tolerant strains develop, Abamectin 0.15EC will not be effective 

against labeled pests. In crops that have pests with multiple generations per crop per 

year, resistance management practices help reduce the risk of resistance development 

to Abamectin O.15EC. Additional information is available on implementation of these 

or other resistance management practices from your local agricultural advisor or 

company representative.

ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish farms: 

• Spray last 3 rows upw',nd of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with 

spray directed away from aquatic areas 

• Avoid spray going over tops of trees by adjusting or turning off top nozzles. Shut 

off nozzles on the side away from the grove/orchard when spraying the outside 

row. Shut off nozzles when turning at ends of row and passing tree gaps in rows. 

• Do not apply Abamectin 0.15EC when weather condif,ons favor drift to aquatic 

areas. 

• Do not apply within 110 feet upwind of aquatic areas or when wind speed is above

Directions for Application 

Apply Abamectin 0.15EC 

using conventional dilute or 

concentrate sprays using 

ground application 

equipment. Calibrate 

eqUipment prior to 

application to ensure 

sufficient water is used for 

thorough coverage. The 

size and number of trees per 

acre as well as foliage 

density will determine the 

gallons of spray required. 

Apply only in 40 gal or more 

of water/A. Control of these 

mites/insects requires a 

thorough coverage of the 

spray solution on the tree 

foliage. 

Always use Abamectin 

0.15EC with either a nonionic 

surfactant or a horticultural 

spray oil (not a dormant oil). 

The combination of 

Abamectin 0.15EC and the 

non ionic surfactant helps to 

provide an even coverage of 

spray on the foliage and to 

improve the wetting and 

penetration ot /eaves for 

better insect control. Not aU

all types of growing 

conditions. Before using a 

nonionic surfactant, carefully 

read and follow the 

surfactant product's label. 

Efficacy may be Improved 

with a combination of 

Abamectin O.15EC and a 

horticultural spray oil (not a

chances of phytotoxicity to 

fruit and foliage increase with 

this combination. Apply at 

the specified rates in this 

table. 

Time Abamectin 0.15EC 

applications to occur when 

mites first appear. Repeat 

applications following the 

directions in the Restrictions 

column of this table. 

Restrictions 

a Dilute Spray Rate is based on a volume of 400 gal/A dilute spray. 

b Concentrate Spray Rate: determine the amount of Abamectin 0.15EC required in a 

full cover ditute spray. Then use the same amount of product per acre in concentrate 

sprays that would be required for the dilute sprays to the same orchard/grove. Note 

that for small trees, the amount may be less than 10 fI ozlA. 

Spray Drift Precautions: Observe the following precautions when spraying in the 

vicinity of aquatic areas such as lakes, rivers, permanent streams, marshes or natural 

ponds, estuar'les, and commercial fish farms;

FIRST AID 

If in eyes • Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15~20 minutes. 

• Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5 minutes, then continue 

rinsing eye. 

• Call a ooison control center or doctor for treatment advice. 

If • Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. 

swallowed • Have person sip a glass of water jf able to swallow. 

• Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by the poison control center 

or doctor. 

• Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. 

If on skin • Take off contaminated clothing. 

or • Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15~20 minutes. 

clothing: • Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. 

If inhaled • Move person to fresh air 

• If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance, then give artificial 

respiration, preferably mouth~to mouth if possible. 

• Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. 

HOT LINE NUMBER 

Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or 

doctor, or going for treatment. You may also contact Chemtrec at 1-800~424~9300 for 

emergency medical treatment information. 

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN 

Early signs of intoxication include dilation of pupils, muscular incoordination, and muscular 

tremors. Toxicity following accidental ingestion of this product can be minimized by early 

administration of chemical adsorbents (e.g., activated charcoal). 

If toxicity from exposure has progressed to cause severe vomiting, the extent of resultant 

fluid and electrolyte imbalance should be gauged. Appropriate supportive parental fluid 

replacement therapy should be given, along with other required supportive measures 

(such as maintenance of blood pressure levels and proper respiratory functionality) as 

indicated by clinical signs, symptoms, and measurements. 

In severe cases, observations should continue for at least several days until clinical 

condition is stable and normal. Since abamectin is believed to enhance GABA activity in 

animals, it is probably wise to avoid drugs that enhance GABA activity (barbiturates, 

benzodiazepines, valproic acid) in patients with potentially toxic abamectin exposure.

APPLICATION INFORMATION 

Abamectin O.15EC is an insecticide that will control certain insect pests. The product must be 

mixed with water and applied to labeled crops according to the specific crop use directions for 

effective control of these insects. For good mite and insect control, apply Abamectin O.1SEC 

so that the foliage is thoroughly covered by the spray solution. 

Phytotoxicity: Abamectin O.15EC has been tested for phytotoxicity and has been proven 10 

be safe on a variety of crops. Abamectin O.15EC is also compatible with many commonly used 

pesticides, crop oils, and nutritional sprays. However, it is impossible to test all crop varieties 

and combination of spray mixtures under all possible growing conditions. Prior to mixing, users 

should test the compatibility of Abamectin 0.15EC with any combination product using physical 

compatibility jar tests. Before applying Abamectin 0.15EC and combination products to large 

areas of the crop, test small areas for phytotoxicity. 

New York State Restriction: Do not apply Abamectin 0.15EC by aerial application in New 

York State. 

Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. 

Spray Drift Precautions for Abamectin O.15EC Use on Celeriac, Cotton, Cucurbits, 

Fruiting Vegetables, Grapes, Hops, Leafy Vegetables, Potatoes, and Strawberries: 

Do not apply with ground application equipment within 25 ft. or with aircraft within 150 ft. 

of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, natural ponds, and 

estuaries, of commercial fish farm ponds. 

page 50f35 
48

All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly calibrated, using 

appropriate carriers, and maintained. For aerial applications, mount the spray 

boom on the aircraft in a manner that minimizes drift caused bY wing tip 

vortices. Use the minimum practical boom length but do not exceed 75% of 

wingspan or rotor diameter. 

Use the largest droplet size consistent with pest control. Minimize the 

formation of very small droplets by selecting appropriate nozzles, orienting 

nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and avoiding excessive 

spray boom pressure. Release the spray at the lowest height consistent with 

pest control and flight safety. Avoid application more than 10 ft. above the 

crop canopy. 

Make aerial or ground applications when wind velocity favors on-target product 

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

exceeds 15 mph. Avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the 

aquatic area can reduce risk of exposure to aquatic areas. Do not cultivate 

within 25 ft. (10ft. for cotton) of the aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative 

filter strip. 

Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray 

droplets and therefore increase the likelihood of spray drifting to aquatic areas. 

AVoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperature. 

Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. 

Inversions are characterized by stable air and temperatures that increase 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 observ'lOg a smoke layer near the ground 

surface. 

Resistance Management: Abamectin 0.15EC contains the active ingredient 

abamectin. There are inherent risks of pests developing resistance to any product; 

therefore, it is strongly advised that Abamectin 0.15EC be used in a sound resistance 

management program (induding practices such as non-chemical alternatives 

(beneficial arthropods), rotation of Abamectin 0.15EC with insecticides that have 

different modes of action, rotation of susceptible and non-susceptible plants, etc.). 

Once insect or mite-tolerant strains develop, Abamectin 0.15EC will not be effective 

against labeled pests. In crops that have pests with multiple generations per crop per 

year, resistance management practices help reduce the risk of resistance development 

to Abamectin O.15EC. Additional information is available on implementation of these 

or other resistance management practices from your local agricultural advisor or 

company representative.

Directions for Application 

Apply Abamectin O.15EC using 

conventional dilute or 

concentrate sprays using 

ground application equipment. 

Calibrate equipment prior to 

application to ensure sufficient 

water is used for thorough 

coverage. The size and 

number of trees per acre as 

well as foliage density will 

determine the gallons of spray 

required. Apply only in 40 gal 

or more of water/A. Control 

of these mites/insects requires 

a thorough coverage of the 

spray solution on the tree 

foliage, and residual spider 

mite control increases if sprays 

are made to younger leaves. 

Time Abamectin O. t5EC

spider mites first appear. 

Repeat applications following 

the directions in the 

Restrictions column of this 

table.

Attached are the Agency's label comments for EPA Reg No. 82542-RR Abamectin .15EC AG 

Insecticide/Miticide. We are trying to stamp off on "clean" labels, so if you could make the requested 

changes and email me back a copy of the revised label in a pdf format (in a font sized 10-12) I will stamp 

"without comments." 

Also note, many of the changes needed are to make the label language more definitive. therefore the label 

may be a bit different from how the parent labels' read. 

Thanks so much!

1. On page I, after "Net Contents," revise "See Container" to read the measurement 

units the product will be packaged in, i.e. Ibs, fl OZ, etc. 

2. On page 1, under the company's address, add the company phone number for 

non-emergency questions. 

3. On page 5, move the "Directions for Use" heading and the paragraph below it: "It

page 4, directly below the "Physical or Chemical Hazards" section and above the 

"Agricultural Use Requirements" sections as directed in the Label Review 

Manual. 

4. On page 5, revise the heading "General Infonnation," to read "Application 

Infonnation" since the infonnation following is mandatory. 

5. On page 5, in the section of the revised title "Infonnation," revise the last 

sentence in the first paragraph to read: "For good mite and insect control, apply 

Abamectin .l5EC so that the foliage is thoroughly covered by the spray solution." 

6. On pages 7-33, in the "Restrictions" section of the crop use tables, add "/ A" or 

''per acre" after every maximum use statement so they read: "Do not apply more 

than ... fl oziA Abamectin .15EC per application and no more than ... ft oziA per 

growing season." 

7. On pages 12-33, in the "Restrictions" section of the crop use tables, revise all

General Information section of this label" to read "Refer to the section on Spray 

Drift Precautions in the Application Information section of this label."

first sentence to read: "Apply when insects first appear using 8-12 fl oz/A ... "

second paragraph to read: "Apply at the specified rates ... " since rates are 

mandatory. 

10. On page 34, in the "Warranty Statement" add the statement "to the extent 

consistent \Vith applicable law" right after the semicolon, before "but neither this 

warranty nor any other warranty ... "

Footnotes 

A. This consideration does not apply to PRIA applications that include a request to 

approve an inert in the fee category. For these PRIA actions, information needs to be 

submitted to enable the Agency to review the inert approval request and will be a subject 

of the 21 day content screen. For other types of actions and for fragrances, the answer is 

only for the Agency's information and current policies, processes, and procedures should 

be consulted. This worksheet will be updated in the future to be consistent with current 

policies. 

If brand, trade, or proprietary names are being used for some inert ingredients listed on 

the eSF, alternate names or additional infonnation on the nature of the ingredient(s) 

should be provided to allow the Agency to detennine whether the inert has been 

approved. 

B. A policy on documentation of offers to pay is still being developed, however, for a 

me-too or fast track (similarlidentical) new product, R300 or A530, an application 

without the necessary authorizations of offers to pay will be placed into either R30l or 

A53l. The Agency recommends that authorizations of offers to pay be submitted with 

other PRIA applications to avoid delays in the Agency's decision. 

C. Refer to the list of data requirements. Biopesticide applicants were advised to contact 

the Agency and discuss study waivers prior to submitting their application to the Agency. 

Documentation of such discussions should be submitted with the study waiver.
