PRODUCT INFORMATION

SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide is a photostable, synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. It is a fast acting stomach and contact insecticide effective against a broad spectrum of foliar pests. It has no fumigant or systemic activity. Best results will be obtained with SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide when applied against the early development stages of the pest as determined by regular monitoring.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Control of some insect species with pyrethroid insecticides decreases as temperature rises. For best results, apply SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide during the early morning before temperatures rise, and during the evening, past the heat of the day. Use sufficient water for thorough coverage, 100 to 200 L/ha by ground sprayer. As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
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) medium 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.
Optimum application timing for the control of specific pest species is best determined by monitoring pest development and populations. In general, SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide is most effective against early developmental stages of surface feeding pests and against adults of pests which deposit eggs within plant parts. Follow recommendations provided by local pest monitoring services regarding appropriate application timing for your area. Follow provincial spray calendars for optimum timing of programmed spray applications.
Repeated applications are not advised for orchards where integrated pest management programs are being followed because severe reductions in beneficial arthropods may result. If pest monitoring services recommend repeated insecticide applications, consider alternating SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide applications with insecticides from different classes to prevent the development of resistant pest populations. Localized populations of some insect pests (e.g., Colorado Potato Beetle, Spotted Tentiform Leafminer) have developed resistance to other synthetic pyrethroid insecticides and can be expected to quickly develop resistance to SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide. Consult regional extension specialists regarding the susceptibility of local populations. Follow Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to minimize the need for insecticide applications and ensure that needed applications are timed for optimum effectiveness.

AERIAL APPLICATION
Generic Aerial Application Label Instructions – Directions for Use
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 National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides.
Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other nontarget areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). 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.

Operator Precautions
Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a 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.

Product Specific Precautions
Read and understand the entire label before using this product.
For aerial applications, ensure the aircraft is equipped and calibrated to deliver a uniform spray coverage with a minimum potential for drift. To ensure uniform application, use an appropriate marking device. Apply in weather conditions that will not promote drift. Suggested conditions for good aerial application are moderate temperatures (less than 25°C), moderate relative humidity (greater than 40%), and light winds (3 to 9 km/h). Use only medium or coarse nozzles rated as delivering droplets of volume median diameter of 215 microns or greater. 
Examples: 6506 flat fan, CP 0.125 deflector nozzle with a low shear deflector angle (30 degrees), D12-56 disc-core.
Apply in a spray volume of 10 to 40 litres per hectare. Use water volumes at the higher end of this range to ensure good coverage for optimum insect control and to minimize drift. Do not apply more than 83 mL SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide per hectare per treatment occasion by air.
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 flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing or rotorspan.
Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides.
Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted. It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application.
Clean and decontaminate protective clothing and application equipment regularly.

Resistance-Management Recommendations
For resistance management, please note that SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide contains a Group 3 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide and other Group 3 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 SILENCER 120 EC Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide or other Group 3 insecticides with different groups that control the same pests in a field.
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.
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.
For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Adama Agricultural Solutions Canada Ltd. company representatives at 855-264-6262.
