CYGON 480-AG SYSTEMIC INSECTICIDE CAN BE USED TO CONTROL:
- Aphids, mites and tarnished plant bugs on pears, peaches and strawberries
- Pear psylla on pears
- Fruit fly maggots on cherries
- Aphids and leafhoppers on beans, leafy vegetables, potatoes and tomatoes (field)
- Aphids on cole crops, peas and peppers
- Bean beetles, leaf miners, mites and tarnished plant bugs on beans and tarnished plant bug on eggplant
- Aphids and grasshoppers on certain field crops

VEGETABLE, FIELD AND FRUIT CROPS:
1. CYGON 480-AG SYSTEMIC INSECTICIDE is a true systemic insecticide. A systemic insecticide is absorbed into the system of the plant upon application and, as with all systemic materials, may in specific plants cause reactions which are neither predictable nor common to all members of the species.
2. FOR PROPER TIMING of treatments for the control of specific pests on crops, consult local agricultural authorities. In general, apply adequate spray for good coverage when pests appear or when damage is first observed, unless otherwise indicated. Do not overdose or overspray.
3. Do not apply foliar sprays during the heat of the day or when temperatures are exceedingly high.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
FIELD SPRAYER APPLICATION: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) fine classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
AIRBLAST APPLICATION: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT direct spray above plants to be treated.
Turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends, and outer rows. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured outside of the treatment area on the upwind side.
AERIAL APPLICATION: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured from a height of two metres off the ground. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) fine classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wingor rotorspan.

AERIAL APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Use special care in aerial applications where damage from drift can be greater.
Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label.
Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment.
Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.

Use Precautions:
Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the Basic Knowledge Requirements for Pesticide Education in Canada: Applicator Core and Aerial Module, developed by CAPCO.
Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Appropriate buffer zones should be established between treatment areas and aquatic systems and treatment areas and significant wildlife habitat. Do not contaminate water through spray drift or by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
Do not apply this product directly to, or otherwise permit it to come into direct contact with non-target crops or other non-target species and do not permit spray mists to drift onto them. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that result in fine particles (mist). Do not angle nozzles forward into the airstream and do not increase spray volume by increasing nozzle pressure. Apply only when there is little or no hazard from spray drift. Small quantities of the spray, which may not be visible, may contaminate and damage sensitive non-target habitat. A method must be used to detect air movement, lapse conditions, or temperature inversions (stable air) such as the use of balloons or a continuous smoke column at or near the spray site or a smoke generator on the spray equipment. If the smoke develops into layers or indicates a potential for hazardous spray drift, do not spray. Do not spray in winds exceeding 8 km/hour. Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.
Do not use human flaggers.

Operator Precautions:
Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with the closed system is permitted.
It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application. The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly.
