DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner
inconsistent with its labeling. Follow the instructions in the
appropriate box below for Agricultural and Non-Agricultural uses.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS: The requirements in this box apply to
uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the
Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This standard contains
requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms,
forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural
pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination,
notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific
instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label
about personal protective equipment (PPE), notification to workers, and
restricted-entry interval. Do not apply this product in a way that will
contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any
requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or
Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation. Do not enter or
allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry
interval (REI) of 4 hours. For early entry into treated areas that is
permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact
with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water,
wear: Coveralls, socks, shoes and waterproof gloves. Notify workers of
the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at
entrances to treated areas. 

NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS: The requirements in this box apply to
uses of this product that are NOT within the scope of the Worker
Protection Standard for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR part 170). The
WPS only applies when this product is used to produce agricultural
plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses. Keep children and
pets out of treated areas until sprays or other wet applications have
dried.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MODE OF ACTION	SPLAT EC-O promotes mating disruption by using a mimic of
the carob moth pheromone applied as many point sources (SPLAT dollops or
droplets) in the field to disrupt adult moth mating. This results in
reduced pest population reproduction and decreased larval damage to
crops.

TARGET PEST AND SITES	SPLAT EC-O is for use on all crops and non-crop
areas where the carob moth is detected.

AREA-WIDE CONTROL AND IPM 	The mating disruption strategy for pest
control works best with large acreages where the ratio of exposed
borders to overall area treated is relatively small and in area-wide
control programs. Monitor for pests on a regular basis so that timely
intervention with another application of SPLAT EC-O, insecticides or
other control measures is possible. Fortifying control area borders with
either 20% more SPLAT EC-O or the periodic reapplication of product
along exposed the borders especially around suspected moth entry points
will minimize the influx of mated females from surrounding areas. 

MONITORING & TIMING OF APPLICATION	Monitor the target pest(s) with
pheromone-baited traps, such as the ISCAlure® Ceratoniae pheromone lure
and ISCA delta trap monitoring system.  Place monitoring traps in the
treated area before applying SPLAT EC-O to determine the infestation
level. Continue monitoring throughout the season to evaluate efficacy
and longevity of the application. Consult a qualified pest control
advisor or ISCA Technologies to obtain correct timing for application.
Supplementary control measures are advised if the pest population
densities are above threshold levels.

FORMULATION AND PREPARATION

FOR USE	SPLAT EC-O is a ready-to-use thick liquid formulation. If
product has been stored in a refrigerated area and has hardened, allow
24 hours at room temperature to achieve a workable consistency. Always
mix product thoroughly before use. A drill with paint mixing paddle or
similar device works best. Do not mix mechanically with sharp blades
that can contact the plastic container. This can introduce shards of
plastic into the mixture, which can interfere with product flowability
and application. At high application temperatures (above 95°F), keep
SPLAT EC-O cool (60 - 75°F) until application.

APPLICATION METHOD	SPLAT EC-O is applied as individual dollops
(recommended diameter: ½ to 1 inch) to generate many point sources in
the field. Application is made with a flat spatula, caulking gun, dosing
gun or similar tool in a visible location that allows for easy
retrieval. Always consult a qualified pest control advisor or ISCA
Technologies to ensure optimum application of product is achieved.

PLACEMENT	CROPS TRAINED TO A SINGLE-MAIN Trunk – Apply SPLAT EC-O
dollops directly onto the tree trunk or at the juncture of the main
scaffold limbs and the main trunk, away from fruit and at the height
recommended by a pest control advisor or ISCA Technologies. CROPS
Trained AS A BUSH OR MULTIPLE STEMMED TRUNK - Apply SPLAT EC-O dollops
onto the base of the trunk (if accessible), lower non-fruiting branches
and adjacent soil surface, away from fruit and at the height recommended
by a pest control advisor or ISCA Technologies. NON-CROP AREAS (such as
storage areas). Apply to walls, poles, other structures, or soil. 

APPLICATION RATE	The application rate of SPLAT EC-O is 100 grams to 1000
grams of undiluted product per acre.  This is equivalent to 2-20 grams
of active ingredient per acre. Consult a qualified pest control advisor
or ISCA Technologies for the recommended rate of application, as it will
vary depending on pest population, crop, and field conditions.

USE RESTRICTIONS: Do not exceed 150 grams of active ingredient (7500
grams of SPLAT EC-O) per acre per year. Do not apply this product
through any type of irrigation system. Do not apply SPLAT EC-O when the
ambient temperature is below 55°F. It is best to apply SPLAT EC-O when
the ambient temperature is below 95°F.  Do not apply if rain is
expected within 3 hours of application.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage and disposal.

CLEANING EQUIPMENT	Clean equipment with water and citrus or
limonene-based detergents.

PESTICIDE
