DIRECTIONS FOR AERIAL OR GROUND SPRAY APPLICATION
APPLICATION TIMING
Begin application when insect populations reach recognized economic threshold levels. Consult the Cooperative Extension Service, Professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in your area.

INFORMATION
ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is a 30% soluble granule for the control of many sucking and chewing insects on the crops listed in this label. The active ingredient in ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is acetamiprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide that controls target insects through contact and ingestion. ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is rapidly absorbed by the plant tissue and quickly moves via systemic translaminar activity to protect the entire leaf. However, thorough spray coverage is essential for optimal performance. ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is rainfast once the spray solution has dried.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing and Application Instructions for ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is a soluble granule formulation that readily disperses in water to form a spray mixture, which may be applied by ground or air.
1. Plan ahead. Prepare only enough spray mixture as can be applied on the day of mixing.
2. Fill tank ¼ - ½ full with the required amount of total spray volume of water.
3. Begin agitation and add product.
4. Continue to fill tank.
5. Allow mixing in tank for 2 minutes after filling or until thoroughly mixed before applying.
6. Maintain continuous agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform suspension. If mixture sits without agitation for extended periods, agitate the mixture for at least 10 minutes before use.
7. Equip spray system with a 50-mesh inline filter, which will protect nozzles that are typically used. Nozzles may also be equipped with 50-mesh nozzle filters or 25 to 50 mesh (equivalent) slotted nozzle filters.
8. ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide is unstable in water pH below 4 and above 9. If necessary, buffer water to obtain optimum pH range. Special Instructions for Tank Mixing ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide When tank mixing ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide with other products, introduce the products into the tank in the following order: (1) water soluble packets (2) wettable powders (3) water dispersable granules (such as ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide) (4) flowable liquids (5) emulsifiable concentrates and (6) adjuvants and/or oils (do not use stickers). Always allow each product to fully disperse before adding the next product.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
ROW CROPS
Apply a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre by air or 15 gallons per acre by ground unless otherwise directed under crop specific directions. For best results, it is important to obtain thorough and uniform spray coverage of the plant. For aerial application, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572.
The use of spray adjuvants, such as high quality non-ionic or silicone surfactants or methylated seed oils is recommended to enhance coverage and plant uptake and may improve pest control on certain crops. Please see specific crop use directions. The addition of an adjuvant is recommended for all applications made to vegetables (except legumes) and to cotton when controlling whiteflies. The use of stickers is not recommended. Some adjuvants can cause adverse effects on certain crops, such as spotting or burn to fruit or foliage. Select an adjuvant that will be safe for the target crop. Follow adjuvant use directions. Consult your local Extension Service, Crop Advisor or Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. representative for additional information. Use higher dosage rates for heavy infestations or dense foliage. The specific length of residual control depends on environmental factors, plant growth, dosage rate, and degree of insect infestation. For foliar banded applications, determine the amount of chemical to use per acre by dividing the band width by the row width and multiplying by the appropriate broadcast rate. To clean the sprayer after use, drain and flush with water. Use rinsate on crop according to label instructions or dispose of in an approved manner (See STORAGE AND DISPOSAL). ORCHARD AND VINE CROPS (excluding grapes) To achieve optimum pest control, it is important to obtain thorough and uniform spray coverage. Choose a finished spray volume appropriate for the size of tree or vine and amount of foliage which will provide thorough coverage throughout the canopy. For certain pests, also follow recommendations listed under crop specific directions. For aerial application, select nozzles and pressure that deliver MEDIUM spray droplets as indicated in nozzle manufacturer’s catalogs and in accordance with ASAE Standard S-572. Aerial applications may not provide as thorough coverage as ground applications. The use of spray adjuvants, such as high quality non-ionic surfactants, methylated seed or horticultural oils, is recommended to enhance coverage and plant uptake and may improve pest control. The addition of an adjuvant is recommended for all applications to pome fruit when controlling codling moth, oriental fruit moth, and San Jose scale. The use of stickers is not recommended. Some adjuvants can cause adverse effects, such as spotting or burn to fruit or foliage. Select an adjuvant that will be safe for the target crop. Follow adjuvant use directions. Do not use adjuvants on grapes. Consult your local Extension Service, Crop Advisor or Nippon Soda representative for additional information.
Use higher dosage rates within the listed rate range for heavy infestations or dense foliage. The specific length of residual control depends on environmental factors, plant growth, dosage rate, and degree of insect infestation.
To clean the sprayer after use, drain and flush with water. Use rinsate on crop according to label instructions or dispose of in an approved manner (See STORAGE AND DISPOSAL).

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) USE OF THIS PRODUCT
ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide has ovicidal, larvicidal, or adulticidal activity against many pests which can be effectively utilized in IPM programs. Control of important pests coupled with retention of beneficial insects and spiders can offer significant benefits to those producers utilizing integrated pest management programs.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Acetamiprid is the active ingredient in ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide. It is a member of a class of chemicals known as neonicotinoids and within the mode of action Group 4A. Rotating ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide with insecticides of a different mode of action (other than Group 4A insecticides) may delay or prevent development of resistance and cross-resistance to ASSAIL and other Group 4A insecticides. Avoid making more than two (2) consecutive applications of ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide before rotating to an alternative mode of action insecticide. Foliar applications of ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide should be avoided on crops treated with a Group 4A seed treatment or soil-applied insecticide until a foliar application of a non-Group 4A insecticide (insecticide with a different mode of action) has been applied between these applications. The use of ASSAIL 30 SG Insecticide should conform to the resistance management guidelines established in your area. Consult your agricultural advisor, PCA, university or extension personnel for recommended pest and resistance management practices for your area. Use recommended IPM practices in your pest management system. Use of rates
below the minimum rate listed for each particular insect pest may enhance the development of resistance and should be avoided.
