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.

AVAUNT must be used only in accordance with the directions on this label or in separate FMC supplemental labeling available as a result of new EPA approvals. AVAUNT is a water dispersible granule that can be applied as a foliar spray to control many important insects. AVAUNT is mixed with water for application.
• Use only in commercial and farm plantings.
• Not for use in home plantings.
• Do not formulate this product into any other End-use products without written permission of FMC.
CHEMIGATION: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system except for application to cranberries, mint, potatoes and sweet corn and as allowed by Federal Supplemental and Special Local Need (SLN) labeling. (See “Application By Chemigation” section of the label.)

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, AVAUNT is a group 22 insecticide. Repeated and exclusive use of AVAUNT or other group 22 insecticides may lead to the buildup of resistant strains of insects in some crops. Some insects are known to develop resistance to products used repeatedly for control. When this occurs, the recommended dosages fail to suppress the pest population below the economic threshold. Because the development of resistance cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistant management strategies established for the use area. These strategies may include incorporation of cultural and biological control practices, alternation of mode-of-action classes of insecticides on succeeding generations and targeting the most susceptible life stage. Consult your local or state agricultural authorities for details.
Unless directed otherwise in the specific crop/pest sections of this label, the following best practices are recommended to delay the development of insecticides resistance:
• Make no more than 2 successive applications per generation or within a 30 day period to the same insect species on a crop.
• The following application to the target pest(s) must be with an effective product with a different mode of action (for example “Asana” XL or DuPont LANNATE insecticides).
If resistance to AVAUNT develops in your area, AVAUNT, or other products with a similar mode of action, 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 alternate method of control for your area. 

APPLICATION
Apply at the listed rates when insect populations reach locally determined economic thresholds. Consult the cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in your area.
Follow-up treatments of AVAUNT should be applied, as needed, to keep pest populations within threshold limits. Apply AVAUNT on most crops every 3 to 5 days, as specified in the specific crop sections, to maintain control. For bushberry, cranberry, dry bean, pome and stone fruit the minimum interval between treatments is 7 days. Use sufficient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage. Because AVAUNT is most effective through ingestion of treated plant material, thorough spray coverage is essential for optimum control of targeted pest insects. Using increased water volumes will typically result in better spray coverage, especially under adverse conditions such as dry, hot weather or dense plant foliage. AVAUNT may be applied by ground, aerial or overhead sprinkler chemigation application equipment. For aerial application use the following directions unless otherwise specified in this label: use a minimum of 5 gallons per acre (gpa) of water, except in tree and vine crops use a minimum of 10 gpa. For ground applications, use the following directions unless otherwise specified in this label: use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre (gpa) of water, except in tree and vine crops use a minimum of 50 gpa and a maximum of 200 gpa of water.
Use of Adjuvants: In some situations where coverage is difficult to achieve such as closed canopy, dense foliage, plants with waxy leaf surfaces, or less than optimum application equipment, an adjuvant may improve performance. Use only adjuvant products that are labeled for agricultural use and follow the directions on the manufacturer's label. For uses in fruit crops, use a proven and recommended adjuvant that does not affect fruit finish. Do not use adjuvant on bushberries or garden beets
