DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

See individual crops for specific pollinator protection application restrictions. If none exist under the specific crop, for foliar applications, follow these application directions for crops that are contracted to have pollinator services or for food/feed & commercially grown ornamentals that are attractive to pollinators.

Spray Drift Management
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.

Resistance Management
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, use the product in conformance with resistance management strategies established for the use area. ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance to Group 4A insecticides may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted species.
The active ingredient in ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT is a member of the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests resistant to other chemical classes have not shown cross-resistance to ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT.

Mixing Instructions
ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT is a suspension concentrate (flowable) formulation, shake well prior to measuring/mixing . The formulation is thixotropic and after sitting for a short time reverts to a gel or thick paste consistency helping to prevent phase separation common to most “flowables”. After moderate shaking the formulation thins to a relatively non-viscous liquid which pours and measures easily with very few trapped air bubbles - another common problem of most flowables.
ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT has demonstrated easy mixing/blooming in water with varying degrees of hardness and temperature . ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT has demonstrated good mixing and compatibility with many fluid fertilizers without dilution with water. However, because fertilizers vary widely in quality and composition it is suggested that a jar test be performed (see Compatibility Note below) prior to full-scale mixing.
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water/fertilizer to the tank and with agitation add ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT. Complete filling tank with balance of water/fertilizer needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT may also be used with other pesticides. Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as specified above and follow suggested Mixing Order  below.

Application Directions (Soil)
Direct applications of ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT into the seed or root-zone of crop . Failure to place ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT into root-zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. Apply ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT by ground application or chemigation application. For seedling flats or trays, only apply with broadcast, foliar applications or where product is intended to be washed from foliage to soil prior to drying on foliage.
Optimum activity of ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT is available to a developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time and the systemic nature of ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the plant. This results in residual activity of ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT and the control of insects which may vector pathogens thereby reducing disease transmission or symptom expression, and the promotion of plant health benefits. The rate of ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Use the higher listed rates when infestations occur later in crop development, or where pest pressure is continuous. ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms or fruit. Additional crop protection may be required for insects feeding in, or on these plant parts and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests controlled sections of this label. Additional, specific ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT application rates are also provided in the crop-specific sections of this label.
 
Restrictions (Soil applications)
Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool or other soil-less media, or plants growing hydroponically.
Do not apply more than 0.5 lb active ingredient per acre, per year regardless of formulation or method of application, unless specified within a crop-specific section for a given crop.

Application Directions (Foliar)
Apply ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Apply specified rate per acre as a directed or broadcast spray to infested area at earliest threshold for target pest, as population begins to develop. Thorough uniform coverage of all plant parts is required to achieve optimum control. Scout fields and retreat if needed.
The lower rates can be used early season when pest pressures are low or when tank-mixing with other effective products registered for target insect control . Degree of control or suppression of additional labeled pests will be determined, in part, by the stage of pest development at application and infestation level of those pests . ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT provides optimal performance against early instar and early nymphal stages of insects as well as bollworm/budworm eggs. Applications made with less than 5 gallons per acre may result in slower activity and/or less overall control from a single application than an application made with higher gallonages. Use an organosilicone-based spray adjuvant for applications targeting aphids and whiteflies for better control.

Compatibility Information
Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT to the spray or mix tank. Add proportionate amounts of each ingredient in the appropriate order, to a pint or quart jar, cap, shake for 5 minutes, and let set for 5 minutes. Poor mixing or formation of precipitates that do not readily redisperse indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be used. For further information, contact your local Bayer CropScience representative.

CHEMIGATION – DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Types of Irrigation Systems
Chemigation applications of ADMIRE PRO SYSTEMIC PROTECTANT may be made to crops through chemigation systems as specified in crop-specific, Application sections.
