USE INSTRUCTIONS
For use on turf, use limited to sod farms and golf courses, except when applying to mound or spot treatment for fire ant and harvester ant controlDo not apply using low pressure handwand equipment except for use as a mound treatment for control of fire ants and for use on ornamental trees, shrubs and floral plants as a non-agricultural use. Not for indoor residential use. For greenhouse use, use is limited to commercial greenhouses for use on ornamental, floral and foliage plants and tobacco (floatbed application).

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
A variety of factors including weather conditions, (e.g., wind directions, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of application (e.g. ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator and grower must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product.
• All aerial, ground and air-assisted/airblast application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using water as carrier. [This sentence to be used for products NOT containing "NON-CROP AREAS- Wasteland": Do not apply this product as an ultralow (ULV) spray, or in any carrier other than water. [This sentence to be used for products containing "NON-CROP AREAS - Wasteland: Do not apply this product as an ultralow (ULV) spray, or in any carrier other than water, except as specified in the instructions for "NON-CROP AREAS - Wasteland".]
• Use the largest droplet size consistent with good pest control. Small droplets are more prone to spray drift and can be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure.
• Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 1 0 mph at the application site.
• Make applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph).
• Apply as close to target plants as practical to obtain a good spray pattern for adequate coverage.
• For aerial applications, do not apply at heights greater than 1 0 feet (consistent with flight safety).
• For airblast applications, direct spray above foliage and turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and outer rows.
• For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The  minimum practical boom length should be used and must not exceed 75% of wing span or rotor diameter.
• For ground applications, do not apply at heights greater than 4 feet.

DIRECTIONS
CHEMIGATION
Apply to Cranberries only by sprinkler irrigation systems. Do not apply by chemigation to any other crop, or this crop using any other type of irrigation system.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Thoroughly clean all sprayer components prior to mixing. Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of water to the spray tank and begin agitation. Add the required amount of Acephate 97 EG insecticide and mix thoroughly. Then add other tank mix partners or foliar feed additives and the remaining water. Maintain agitation during filling and spraying to ensure a uniform spray mixture. For application equipment, which has the minimal agitation such as tobacco transplant water equipment, proper attention to mixing the Acephate 97 EG product should be given. With tobacco transplant water applications the Acephate 97 EG product should be premixed in water to form a slurry prior to putting the product into the transplant water applicator. If premixing is not done, then adequate time should
be allowed for the product to dissolve in the transplant water prior to beginning application.
