PRODUCT INFORMATION
Agree WG is a biological insecticide specific for use against the lepidopterous larvae listed on this label. Agree WG must be eaten by larvae to be effective. Since Agree WG is most effective against small newly-hatched larvae, an early scouting program to determine earlyinfestations is recommended. After consuming a lethal dose of Agree WG, larvae stop eating usually within an hour, but may remain on the foliage until they die, usually within several days. Affected larvae move more slowly and tend to become shriveled and discolored before dying. For best performance, always follow these directions:
• Treat when small, newly-hatched larvae are present and first feeding damage is observed.
• Since Agree WG must be ingested to obtain control, treat when larvae are actively feeding and before extensive damage occurs.
• Thorough spray coverage is essential for good control of the pest. Nozzles on ground equipment should be arranged in a manner to provide the best coverage. Increased water volume and spray pressure will enhance coverage.
• If insect infestation becomes heavy, use higher (2.0 lbs./A) label rate. Increased water volume and shortened spray intervals may be necessary to achieve acceptable control.
• To maintain control, repeat applications may be necessary at 3 to 7-day intervals, depending on the rate of growth of the crop, weather conditions, and severity of insect infestation.
• Agree WG may be applied up to the day of harvest
• To improve coverage and residual effectiveness of Agree WG, addition of a spreader/sticker approved for use on growing crops to the spray tank is recommended for all crops, and especially for hard-to-wet crops, such as cole crops.
Note: Insects are known to develop resistance to products used repeatedly for control. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area. Such strategies may include rotating products with different modes of action. Consult your local pest control advisor or extension office for details. If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product or other products with a similar mode of action may not provide adequate control. If you experience difficulty with control, and resistance is a likely cause, consult your local Certis USA LLC representative or pest control advisor for the best alternative method of control. Certis USA LLC encourages good product stewardship to ensure effective long-term control of the respective insect pests.

Mixing Instructions
(1) Be sure the sprayer is clean and not contaminated with other materials.
(2) Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the intermediate operation. Fill tank ¼ full with clean water or liquid fertilizer.
(3) Start agitation.
(4) Be certain that the agitation system is working properly and creates a rippling or rolling action in the liquid surface.
(5) Pour Agree WG directly from the bag into the tank.
(6) Continue filling tank with water until 90% full, increasing agitation if necessary to maintain surface action.
(7) Add other tank mix products if needed. Finish filling tank.
(8) Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation.
(9) Empty tank as completely as possible before refilling to prevent residue building. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.

APPLICATION INSTRUCITONS
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions.
For Light Brown Apple Moth: Apply when newly hatched larvae appear and before leaves are rolled or webbing is significant.
For Banana Moth: Drench bark to newly emergent shoots following pruning or apply to susceptible plant tissues when Banana Moth larvae are active.
For European Grapevine Moth: Apply at blackhead egg stage or when larvae are newly hatched before leaves are rolled, or larvae have entered fruit.
For European Pepper Moth: Begin applications at egg lay and continue at 3-5 day intervals throughout larval feeding period. For All Pests: Sprays should target small larvae, from newly-hatched to 2nd instar. High label rates may be required to control larger larvae. Continue applying as part of a normal spray program until pest is adequately controlled. Apply when caterpillars are actively feeding. To be effective, Agree WG spray must be deposited at the larval feeding site. Agree WG can be applied by ground or air in water sufficient to ensure thorough and even coverage. Thorough and uniform crop coverage is required for adequate insect control. Applications at higher water volumes have demonstrated improved control of targeted pests. Early morning or evening applications, when air is calm, are generally best for aerial applications.
