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.

PRODUCT USE INFORMATION
BANTER WDG is a selective miticide which controls a variety of mites in the crops specified on this label. It provides quick knockdown through contact activity, and long residual control when used as directed and applied to foliage.
BANTER WDG Miticide is relatively inactive against beneficial, predaceous mites and insects because of its selectivity, carbazate chemistry, and mode of action. It is compatible with IPM and resistance management programs.
Because BANTER WDG Miticide is not systemic in action, thorough coverage of both the upper and lower leaf surfaces and fruit is required for effective control.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Fill spray tank with 1/2 the desired amount of water. With agitation running, add the required amount of BANTER WDG Miticide until product is fully dispersed. Follow with wettable powders, dry flowables, liquid flowables, liquids and emulsifiable concentrates, and then surfactants. Then fill the tank with the remaining amount of required water. As with other pesticide products, BANTER WDG Miticide stability can be affected by high pH and high temperature. Spray mixtures containing BANTER WDG Miticide should be maintained within a range of pH 5.5 to 6.5 for best performance.
Tank mixtures are only permitted in States where all of pesticide products used as tank-mix partners are registered. When tank-mixing, follow the most restrictive of all of the labeled use directions, use restrictions, and use limitations for the tank-mix partners.
Compatibility: BANTER WDG Miticide can be tank-mixed with other insecticide products to achieve broad-spectrum insect control. Users must conduct small-scale trials under local conditions to ensure compatibility prior to any large-scale use because of differences in water quality (ie., hardness and pH).

PRODUCT USE RATES AND DIRECTIONS
Refer to the USE INSTRUCTIONS BEARING CROPS table for application rates, application number, and pre-harvest interval (PHI) for labeled crops.

For ground application:
Refer to the USE INSTRUCTIONS tables for minimum numbers of gallons of spray solution to apply per acre using the following types of equipment: compressed air, hydraulic ground boom or air-blast sprayers.

For aerial application:
Refer to the USE INSTRUCTIONS table for minimum numbers of gallons of spray solution to apply per acre (or the minimum gallons/acre allowed by your State, which may not be less than the minimum gallons/acre shown on this label) using either a fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter. Always use an adequate spray volume to ensure complete coverage of the crop canopy.

For chemigation application:
Refer to the instructions for CHEMIGATION USE PRECAUTIONS FOR CRANBERRY AND MINT. Refer to the USE INSTRUCTIONS BEARING CROPS table for the ranges in application rates permitted for these crops. Only one application may be made per year. Sprinkler systems must be operated at 80 to 100% during treatment application to apply the minimum amount of water possible.
Application must be made as soon as mites appear for maximum residual control. When mite infestations are light, use the lowest rate specified. For heavier mite infestations or for extended residual control, the highest specified rate may be required.
BANTER WDG Miticide is effective control for a variety of mites species, especially spider mites, red mites and grass mites when used as directed. It is NOT effective against rust mites, broad mites and flat mites. BANTER WDG Miticide is primarily active on the motile stage of mites, but also has ovicidal activity against spider mites (Tetranychus species)

Restrictions:
• Do not tank-mix oil with BANTER WDG Miticide when applying to Golden Delicious apples.
• Rotational Crops: BANTER WDG Miticide has a plantback restriction of 30 days. Do not plant another crop within 30 days after last application of BANTER WDG Miticide due to chances of bifenazate residues showing up in rotational crops.
• Do not exceed the maximum amount of bifenazate allowed per crop per season, regardless of the bifenazate-containing product(s) used
