Batch code:________

Product Information Confirm ® 2F insecticide mimics the action of the natural insect hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone, the physiological inducer of the molting and metamorphosis process in insects. Confirm 2F is highly active against most lepidopterous larvae while having practically no activity at typical use rates against other orders of insects. Confirm 2F controls lepidopterous larvae through a novel mode of action by the induction of a premature lethal molt which initiates within hours of ingestion of treated crop surfaces. Contact activity has also been observed in some insects. Actual death of the larvae will take several days to occur, although feeding by the insects generally ceases within 24 hours of ingestion.

Use Rate Determination Carefully read, understand and follow label use rates, recommendations and restrictions. Apply the amount specified in the crop-specific tables listed in this label with properly calibrated aerial or ground spray equipment.

The low rates may be used for light infestations of the target lepidopterous species and the higher rates for moderate to heavy infestations. Confirm 2F may be applied in either dilute or concentrate sprays so long as the application equipment is calibrated and adjusted to deliver thorough, uniform coverage. Use the specified amount of Confirm 2F per acre regardless of spray volume used. Prepare only the amount of spray solution required to treat the measured acreage.

Mixing and Compatibility Fill the spray tank one-third to one-half full of clean water and slowly pour Confirm 2F into the spray tank. Maintain agitation in the spray tank during mixing, loading and application. Triple rinse empty container and add rinsate to spray tank.

Confirm 2F is believed to be compatible with most commonly used agricultural fungicides, insecticides, growth regulators, foliar fertilizers and spray adjuvants. If in doubt, mix proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a test vessel. Shake the mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for fifteen minutes. Rapid precipitation of the ingredients and failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and should not be applied.Confirm 2F DRAFT Version 5/19/15 KBK edits 11/17/15

Page 7 of 27 Application Timing The activity of Confirm 2F is expressed primarily through ingestion by the target larvae. Consequently, the timing of application is dependent upon the feeding behavior of the target pest. For internal feeding larvae, application must be made prior to the time that surface feeding occurs. For foliar or surface feeding larvae, application made while active feeding is occurring will be effective.

Reapplication may be required to protect new flushes of foliage or rapidly expanding fruit. The reapplication interval will vary depending upon how rapidly the crop is growing and the generation time of the target pest. While Confirm 2F is essentially equally effective against all instars, it is generally good practice to make applications to early instars to avoid the heavy damage that can be inflicted by later instar larvae.

For best results, begin applications when first signs of feeding damage or when threshold levels of moths, eggs or larvae occur. Consult the Cooperative Extension Service, or other qualified professional authorities, to determine the appropriate threshold for application in your area.

Application Instructions Because Confirm 2F must be ingested by the larvae, application must be in a manner that assures uniform and thorough coverage. Higher water volume and increased spray pressure generally provide better coverage. Operating an air-blast sprayer at ground speeds greater than 2 mph and making applications in an alternate row middle pattern in tree crops and vines may result in less than satisfactory coverage and poor performance, particularly in conditions of high pest infestation levels, extremely large trees and/or dense foliage. Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be assured or when excessive spray drift may occur. A minimum of six hours drying time is required between the completion of application and the onset of precipitation to ensure optimum performance.

Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system except as specified for use on cranberries and ornamentals.

Spray Adjuvants: The addition of agricultural adjuvants to Confirm 2F sprays will improve initial spray deposits, redistribution and weatherability.

Place Confirm 2F into suspension prior to adding an adjuvant to the spray mixture. Read and carefully observe the precautionary statements and all other information appearing on all product labels prior to spray preparation.

Resistance Management Any insect population may contain individuals that are naturally resistant to a specific pesticide; therefore, the use of any one insecticide against many consecutive generations of a pest can result in the development of resistance problems. To prevent or delay the development of resistance, Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. recommends rotation of Confirm 2F with insecticides of alternate modes of action and the utilization of Integrated Pest Management practices such as routine monitoring, the use of treatment thresholds to time applications and cultural and biological controls wherever possible. It is further recommended that Confirm 2F not be used on more than three consecutive generations of a pest. Since the development of resistance cannot be predicted we suggest that you consult local or State Extension personnel or your local Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. representative for resistance management guidance appropriate to your crop, locality and production practices

Rotational Crop Restrictions The following rotational crops may be planted at intervals defined below following the final application of Confirm 2F at the recommended rates for a registered use.

Walnuts Ground Application: Make applications of Confirm 2F by conventional ground sprayers which are calibrated to deliver a minimum of 50 gallons per acre to walnut trees 4th leaf or younger. For walnut trees 5th leaf or older use a minimum of 100 gallons per acre. Ground speed of the sprayer should not exceed 2 mph.

Aerial Application: Make applications of Confirm 2F in a minimum of 20 gallons per acre. Confirm 2F can be applied by aerial applications when situations warrant. However, this method should not be used if the size of the tree or density of the foliage prohibits thorough, uniform coverage of the entire tree canopy.

Split Application: In order to achieve thorough uniform coverage of extremely tall, dense trees, it may be preferable to apply a split application composed of both aerial and ground methods. Both portions of the application must be made within the timing window as described below. The total amount of Confirm 2F applied in a split application cannot exceed 30 fl oz per acre.

Target Pests Confirm 2F fl. oz./acre Application Timing Restrictions codling moth 16 - 30 (0.25 - 0.47 lb. ai/acre) For each codling moth generation, apply at initiation of egg hatch (200 to 250 DD following biofix 1 ). Control of first generation codling moth may require a second application 10 to 14 days following first application to ensure complete coverage of rapidly expanding foliage and expanding surface area of the walnut. After plant foliage expansion and walnut growth has ceased, multiple applications (every 14 to 21 days) may be required to provide control of extended codling moth flights. Higher use rates may also be used

for extended residual effectiveness, higher pest infestation levels, larger trees or heavy, dense foliage. The maximum application rate is 30 fl. oz. (0.47 lb. ai) per acre per application.

Do not apply more than

122 fl. oz. per acre per calendar year.

The minimum

retreatment interval is 10 days.

The Pre-Harvest Interval

(PHI) is 14 days.

Do not graze livestock in

treated areas or feed cover crops grown in treated areas to livestock.

Performance of Confirm 2F against pests not listed on this label cannot be warranted nor can crop tolerance of Confirm 2F in all types and varieties of tree nuts be assured. If unsure, the user is advised to treat a few trees to observe for symptoms before treating large blocks of trees. Generally, optimum performance against lepidopterous pests (worms) is achieved when Confirm 2F is applied at the initiation of egg hatch. Reapplication in 10 to 20 days may be required if the plant part(s) to be protected from insect damage is rapidly growing or expanding or if pest infestations are heavy or extended.

1 Trees include: Christmas Trees, nurseries and plantations, conifer seed orchards, ornamental and

shade trees.

2 Forests include: commercial, private and public forestland, conifer release sites, shelterbelts and

windbreaks, and forest plantings.

3 Shrubs include: woody shrubs and vines.

Because Confirm 2F must be ingested in order to be effective, it is essential that coverage is thorough and uniform. Higher carrier volumes and higher use rates are recommended for very large trees or dense stands and for heavy target pest infestations.

Ground Application: Hydraulic ground sprayers should be calibrated to deliver a minimum of 50 gallons per acre. For mist blowers or air blast sprayers, use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre.

Aerial Application: Make applications in a minimum of 1 gallon per acre. Higher carrier volumes are recommended when environmental conditions are less than ideal for aerial applications.
