FOR USE ON CROPS

WHEN TANK MIXING, ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MOST RESTRICTIVE LABELING OF ALL PRODUCTS IN THE MIXTURE.

Exponent Insecticide Synergist can be tank mixed with any insecticide product unless prohibited by that insecticide’s label.

Exponent Insecticide Synergist may be used in a tank mix with an insecticide or acaricide on GROWING CROPS (OUTDOORS AND IN GREENHOUSES), as well as in insecticide applications to dormant crops.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT FOR AGRICULTURE CROPS: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator and the grower. The interactions of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.

Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 10 mph at the application site. Do not make any type of application into temperature inversions. Apply as a medium or coarser spray (ASABE standard 572).

Additional requirements for aerial applications: Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy.

The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.

Aerial applicators must consider flight speed and nozzle orientation in determining droplet size. When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be displaced downwind. The applicator must compensate for this displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.

Additional requirements for ground applications: During ground applications do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.

Additional requirements for airblast applications: During airblast applications direct sprays into the canopy. Turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer rows. Use is allowed on listed crops whether grown for food, forage or seed production.

CROP USE RATES AND RESTRICTIONS:

Diluted product must deliver no more that the following maximum rate when used according to directions:

Following the directions and using the required volume of water on the insecticide label, tank mix at a rate of 2 to 7.98 fl. oz. of Exponent Insecticide Synergist per acre. 7.98 fl. oz. will provide 0.5 lb. of Exponent Insecticide Synergist active ingredient.

Prior to tank mix, a compatibility test should be done using the proper proportions of chemicals and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture. The tank mix application must conform to accepted use precautions and directions for both products.

Mix Exponent Insecticide Synergist with an insecticide based on the amount of active ingredient. Most insecticides are synergized at the ratio range of 1 to 10 parts Exponent Insecticide Synergist’s active ingredient to 1 part of an insecticide’s active ingredient.

One fl. oz. of Exponent Insecticide Synergist contains 0.0626 pounds of active ingredient.

To calculate the fl. oz. of Exponent Insecticide Synergist to use with a given insecticide, first calculate the amount of active ingredient of the insecticide to be used (in pounds), multiply that amount times the ratio of Exponent Insecticide Synergist desired (between 1 and 10), then divide that amount by 0.0626.

Equation: (lbs. insecticide a.i. x desired ratio of Exponent Insecticide Synergist) / 0.0626 = Fluid Ounces of Exponent Insecticide Synergist required

In absence of specific data or experience on growing crops and ornamentals (outdoors, in greenhouses or indoors), it is recommended that tank mixes with Exponent Insecticide Synergist be tested for any phytotoxicity on a sample of the crop or growing plants prior

to use.

CROP TANK MIX RATE CHART:

THE PURPOSE OF THIS CHART IS SOLELY TO SHOW THE VOLUMES OF EXPONENT INSECTICIDE SYNERGIST PER VOLUME OF TANK MIX PARTNER. THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION OF TANK MIX PARTNER USE RATES. PLEASE REFER TO THE MOST CURRENT TANK MIX PARTNER LABEL TO DETERMINE THE RATE OF THAT SPECIFIC PRODUCT THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR APPLICATION.

CHEMIGATION USE DIRECTIONS

Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move) irrigation systems.

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

Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.

If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.

Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.

A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for the operation or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise:

SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION:

1. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow.

2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.

4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.

5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

8. Constant agitation must be maintained in the chemical supply tank during the entire period of insecticide application. Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of more dilute suspension per unit of time.

9. Apply in accordance with tank mixing partner chemigation instructions.

CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS:

1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.

2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow preventer (RPZ) of the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to break (air gap) between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection.

4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and be connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.

5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

8. Apply in accordance with tank mixing partner chemigation instructions.

Triple rinse as follows (for containers of 5 gallons or less): Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Offer for recycling if available or reconditioning if appropriate, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities.

Triple rinse as follows (for containers greater than 5 gallons): Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times.
