GENERAL INFORMATION

Intrepid Insecticide is a suspension concentrate product for the control of listed lepidopteran larvae in fruits, vegetables and tree nuts.

MODE OF ACTION

Intrepid Insecticide belongs to the diacylhydrazine class of insecticides and mimics the action of the molting hormone of larval Lepidoptera. Upon ingestion, larvae undergo an incomplete and developmentally premature molt which is ultimately lethal. This process interrupts and rapidly halts their feeding. Feeding typically ceases within hours of ingestion although complete mortality of the larvae may take several days. Affected larvae often become lethargic and develop discoloured areas or bands between segments.

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS
Do not feed apple pomace to livestock.

Spray Equipment Precautions
Thoroughly clean spray equipment after use. Cleaning should occur as soon as possible after application. All rinsate material should be collected in a suitable container and disposed of according to label directions (i.e., applying it to cropland to be planted to crops recommended on this label) or in a locally approved manner (see Disposal section). DO NOT contaminate irrigation/drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Spray equipment should be cleaned after use by the following procedure:
Drain the sprayer tank.
1. Hose down the interior surfaces of the tank. Flush tank, hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water for 10 minutes. Fill the tank with water and re-circulate for 15 minutes. Spray part of the mixture through the hoses, boom and nozzles and drain the tank.
2. Remove the nozzles and screens and clean them separately.
3. If the spray equipment will be used on crops other than those listed on this label, repeat steps 1 and 2 again and thoroughly wash the spray mixture from the outside of spray tank and the boom.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

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.

Chemigation
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. Applications MUST be conducted WITHOUT the use of end guns.
DO NOT apply by air.

Ground Application
Make applications of Intrepid Insecticide by conventional ground application equipment. Thorough uniform coverage of all foliage and fruit is essential for good insect control. Apply in sufficient spray volume to ensure uniform coverage of the treated crop. A minimum of 300 litres of water per hectare is generally recommended for ground application. For tree crops, a minimum spray volume of 1,000 litres of water per hectare is generally recommended to ensure thorough coverage of the crop. If adequate spray coverage of plant canopy requires less solution per hectare, adjust spray volume accordingly while using the same spray concentration (ratio of liters of product to litres of water).

Application Directions
Carefully read, understand and follow label use rates, recommendations and restrictions. Apply the amount specified in the following tables with properly calibrated ground spray equipment. Prepare only the amount of spray solution required to treat the measured hectares. DO NOT exceed the application rates (litres of product/ha) listed under “DIRECTIONS FOR USE”. DO NOT exceed 2 L product/ha/year.

Application Timing

Proper timing of application is critical with this product. If application is delayed beyond the recommended time, switch to another registered insecticide. Monitor other insect pests and apply other registered insecticides as required.
The activity of Intrepid Insecticide is expressed primarily through ingestion by the target larvae. Consequently, the timing of application is dependent on the feeding behavior of the target pest. For larvae which feed internally within fruits or shoots, application must be made prior to the time that internal feeding occurs e.g., just prior to initiation of egg hatch. For foliar or surface feeding larvae, application may be made while active feeding is occurring.
Re-application may be required to protect new flushes of growth or extended infestations. The re-application interval will vary depending on how rapidly the crop is growing, the generation time of the target pest and the duration of the infestation. Refer to specific crop for minimum reapplication intervals. Intrepid Insecticide is effective against all larval instars; however, it is good practice to make applications to early instars to minimize feeding damage. For best results, begin applications when threshold levels of adults, eggs or larvae occur. Consult provincial extension personnel, provincial guidelines, or your local Dow AgroSciences representative, to determine the appropriate threshold and timing for application in your area.

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

APPLES
DO NOT apply within 14 days of harvest.

Target Pests: Codling moth
Application Rate L product/ha: 1.0
Application Timing: For control of the first generation, apply before first egg hatch (80-110 degree days Celsius after BIOFIX). Monitor populations and reapply 10-14 days later if required. BIOFIX is determined to be set when a first consistent moth catch has been attained within the orchard. For the determination of degree days for codling moth, a lower and upper threshold of 10 and 31°C is used. For control of the second generation of codling moth, timing of the first application is based on first egg hatch after establishing a new BIOFIX as above. Monitor populations and reapply 10-14 days later if required.

Target Pests: Oriental Fruit Moth
Application Rate L product/ha: 1.0
Application Timing: Apply at first egg hatch of the targeted generation. Monitor populations and reapply 10-14 days later if required. If using trap catches to monitor populations, BIOFIX is determined to be set when a first consistent moth catch has been attained within the orchard. For degree day determination, a lower and upper threshold of 7.2 and 32.2°C is used.

Target Pests: Oblique-banded leafroller , Three-lined leafroller (over-wintering generation)
Application Rate L product/ha: 0.75

Use the higher rate for heavy infestations or advanced growth stages of the target pest.
Intrepid may be applied to cranberry by chemigation. For application directions, read the chemigation section below.

General Directions for Chemigation
Do not apply Intrepid by chemigation to other labeled crops. Intrepid may be applied through overhead sprinkler irrigation systems that will apply water uniformly, including: lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, solid set, micro sprinkler, or hand move. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Sprinkler systems that deliver a low coefficient of uniformity such as certain water drive units are not recommended.
For sprinkler systems that do not move during operation (fixed system), limit rinse time to less than 10 minutes. Establishing a rinse time can be done by running a concentrated dye solution through your system. The goal of the dye test is to determine how long to operate the chemigation application and observe application performance. Dye tests should be run every 1-3 years or anytime significant modifications are made to your irrigation system. Refer to Best Management Practices Guide for chemigation in cranberries for guidelines on how to run a dye test to verify rinse time and/or if your rinse time is more than 10 minutes. Excessive wash-off times (wash-off time = rinse time – travel time) will adversely affect pesticide performance. Wash-off time is the amount of time the system will be ‘washing off’ the applied material.

For continuously moving systems, the mixture containing Intrepid must be injected continuously and uniformly into the irrigation water line as the sprinkler is moving. If continuously moving irrigation equipment is used, apply in no more than 6 millilitres of water.
Preparation
1. Determine the irrigation rate and the number of minutes for the system to cover the treatment area;
2. Calculate the total litres of insecticide mixture needed to cover the area. Divide the total litres of insecticide mixture needed by the number of minutes (minus time to flush out) to cover the treatment area. This value equals the L/min output that the injector must deliver. Convert the L/min to mL/ min, if needed.
3. Calibrate the injector pump with the system in operation at the desired irrigation rate. It is suggested that the injector pump/system be calibrated at least twice before operation, and the system should be monitored during operation. 4) Continually agitate the mixture during mixing and application.
Operation
1. Ensure that all sprinkler heads are turning freely and check for uniformity and make repairs before any chemigation takes place.
2. Start the water pump and irrigation system, and let the system achieve the desired pressure and speed before starting the injector. Start the injection system and calibrate according to manufactures recommendations. This procedure is necessary to deliver the desired rate per hectare in a uniform manner. When the application is finished, allow the entire irrigation and injector system to be thoroughly flushed clean before stopping the system.

Precautions
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 the equipment manufacturer or other experts.
Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application (including greenhouse systems) to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place with current certification. Specific local regulations may apply and must be followed.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise and continuously monitor the injection
Do not apply when wind speed causes non-uniform distribution and/or favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. End guns must be turned off during the application, if they irrigate non target areas.
Do not allow irrigation water to collect or runoff and pose a hazard to livestock, wells, or adjoining crops.
Do not enter treated area during the reentry interval specified in the Agricultural Use Requirements section of this label unless required PPE is worn.
Do not apply through sprinkler systems that deliver a low coefficient of uniformity such as certain water drive units.

Suggested Equipment Requirements
1. The system must contain an air gap, or approved backflow prevention device, or approved functional check valve, vacuum relief valve (including inspection port), and a low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow unless the water is from a man made self contained source on private land
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 also contain a functional interlock, e.g. normally closed, valve located on the intake side of the injection system 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 when the water pressure drops or water flow stops.
5. Use of public water supply requires approval of a backflow prevention device or air gap (preferred) by both local authorities.
6. Systems must use a metering device, such as a positive displacement injection pump (or flow meter on eductor) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system
7. To insure uniform mixing of the insecticide in the water line, inject the mixture in the center of the pipe diameter or just ahead of an elbow or tee in the irrigation line so that the turbulence created at those points will assist in mixing. The injection point must be located after all back-flow prevention devices on the water line unless the water is from a man made self contained source on private land.
8. The tank holding the insecticide mixture should be free of rust, fertilizer, sediment, and foreign material, and equipped with an in-line strainer situated between the tank and the injector point.

For tank mixes, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture and apply using the coarsest spray (ASAE) category indicated on the labels for those tank mix partners.

NOTE:
Applicators may recalculate a site-specific buffer zone by combining information on current weather conditions and spray configuration for the following applications: all airblast applications, and for field and aerial applications which specify the following droplet size category wording on the product label: ‘DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) [Fine or Medium or Coarse] classification.’ To access the Buffer Zone Calculator, please visit the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, please note that Intrepid Insecticide contains a Group 18 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Intrepid Insecticide and other Group 18 insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but are specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay insecticide resistance:
Where possible, rotate the use of Intrepid Insecticide or other Group 18 insecticides with different groups that control the same pests in a field, i.e., use Intrepid Insecticide in one or more applications to control a single generation of the insect pest then rotate to a product with a different mode of action for the next generation.
Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group when such use is permitted.
Insecticide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, record keeping, and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. This product is harmful to certain beneficial arthropods.
Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development.
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
