OVERVIEW
Closer™ SC (active ingredient sulfoxaflor), is a novel sulfoximine insecticide with a unique mode of action for control of sap-feeding insect pests. Closer™ SC provides class leading aphid control across a wide range of vegetable crops. The active ingredient, sulfoxaflor, was discovered by Dow AgroSciences, and is from a new chemical class, called the sulfoximines. It has a unique mode of action to control pests resistant to other major chemical classes, such as neonicotinoids, organophosphates, and pyrethroids. Sulfoxaflor exhibits complex and unique interactions with the insect nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) that are distinct from those observed with other insecticides. Closer™ SC is not a neonicotinoid, and all available data indicates insect pests resistant to other insecticide classes are not resistant to Closer™ SC.

MIXING DIRECTIONS
Closer SC – Alone
Fill the spray tank with water to about 1/2 of the required spray volume. Start agitation and add the required amount of Closer SC. Continue agitation while mixing and filling the spray tank to the required spray volume. Maintain sufficient agitation during application to ensure uniformity of the spray mix. Do not allow water or spray mixture to back-siphon into the water source.
Closer SC - Tank Mix
Closer SC is believed to be compatible with most commonly used agricultural fungicides, insecticides, growth regulators, foliar fertilizers and spray adjuvants. However, whenever preparing a new tank mix, always conduct a compatibility test by mixing proportional amounts of all spray ingredients in a test vessel (jar). Shake the mixture vigorously and allow it to stand for 15 minutes. Rapid precipitation of the ingredients and failure to re-suspend when shaken indicates that the mixture is incompatible and should not be applied.
Mixing Order for Tank Mixes:
Fill the spray tank with water to 1/4 to 1/3 of the required spray volume. Start agitation. Add different formulation types in the order indicated below, allowing time for complete dispersion and mixing after addition of each product. Allow extra dispersion and mixing time for dry flowable products. Add different formulation types in the following order:
1. Water dispersible granules
2. Wettable powders
3. Closer SC and other aqueous suspensions Maintain agitation and fill spray tank to 3/4 of total spray volume. Then add:
4. Emulsifiable concentrates and water-based solutions
5. Spray adjuvants, surfactants and oils
6. Foliar fertilizers
Finish filling the spray tank. Maintain continuous agitation during mixing, final filling and throughout application. If spraying and agitation must be stopped before the spray tank is empty, the materials may settle to the bottom. Settled materials must be resuspended before spraying is resumed. A sparger agitator is particularly useful for this purpose. Premixing: Dry and flowable formulations may be premixed with water (slurried) and added to the spray tank through a 20 to 35 mesh screen. This procedure assures good initial dispersion of these formulation type

Comment: Notifying known beekeepers within 1 mile of the treatment area 48 hours before the product is applied will allow them to take additional steps to protect their bees. Also, limiting application to times when managed bees and native pollinators are least active, e.g., before 7 am or after 7 pm local time or when the temperature is below 55oF at the site of application, will minimize risk to bees.
