Directions For Use
Restricted Use Pesticide
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Athena Insecticide is an emulsifiable in water formulation with two modes of action. Athena Insecticide will control or suppress insect and mite pests on the crops listed within this label when applied according to the Directions of Use unless otherwise directed by registered supplemental labeling. Thorough coverage is essential for good insect and mite control. 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. Rate of application is variable according to pest. Use lower rates under light to moderate infestations; higher rates under heavy insect pressure. Arid climates generally require higher rates.

Chemigation: Do not apply through any type of irrigation system.

Adjuvants
The use of a spray adjuvant that meets or exceeds CPDA Adjuvant Certification is recommended for optimum performance. Refer to the individual crop recommendation sections of this label for specific adjuvant type and use rates. Do not use binder or sticker type adjuvants.

Maximum Allowable Use Per Season
Refer to the individual crop sections for maximum allowable Athena Insecticide usage per acre per season. Do not tank mix Athena with any product containing either avermectin or bifenthrin as active ingredients.

Resistance Management
Athena Insecticide contains Group 3 and Group 6 insecticides. Combining insecticides with different modes of action is a resistance management strategy. Because the development of resistance cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. Consult your local or state agricultural authorities for details. If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other products with similar modes of action, this product may not provide adequate control. If poor performance cannot be attributed to improper application or extreme weather conditions, a resistant strain of insect may be present. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for the best alternative method of control for your area.
