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.

Resistance Management
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. Couraze 4 Insecticide contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent tolerance to Group 4A insecticides may.eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted species. This may eventually result in. partial or total loss of control of those species by Couraze 4 Insecticide and to other Group 4A insecticides.
The active ingredient in Couraze 4 Insecticide is a member of the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests resistant to other chemical classes have not shown cross-resistance to Couraze 4 Insecticide. In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry in insect species with high resistance development potential, it is recommended that for each crop season: 1} only a single, soil application of Couraze 4 Insecticide be made; 2} foliar applications of products from the same class not be made following a long residual, soil application of Couraze 4 insecticide, or other neonicotinoid products. If a soil application of Couraze 4 Insecticide has not been made during a crop season and foliar applications are to be made, avoid using a block of more than three consecutive applications of Couraze 4 Insecticide and/or other Group 4A products having the same or similar mode of action. Following a neonjcotinoid block of treatments, Cheminova strongly encourages the rotation to a block of applications with effective products with a different mode of action before using additional applications of neonicotinoid products. Using a block rotation or windowed approach, along with.other IPM practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or delaying an insect's ability to develop resistance to this class of chemistry.
Do not use foliar applications of Couraze 4 Insecticide or other Group 4A products from neonicotinoid chemical class to be used on crops previously treated with a long-residual, soil-applied products from the neonicotinoid chemical class.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Soil Applications:
For soil applications of Couraze 4 Insecticide, direct product into the seed or root zone of crop. Failure to place Couraze 4. Insecticide into root zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. Couraze 4 Insecticide may be applied with ground or chemigation application equipment. When applied as a soil application, optimum activity of Couraze 4 Insecticide results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier Couraze 4 Insecticide is available to a developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. Couraze 4 Insecticide is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time and the systemic nature of Couraze 4 Insecticide allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the'plant. This results in extended residual activity of Couraze 4 Insecticide, the control of insects, and the prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The rate of Couraze 4 Insecticide applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Higher rates within the specified rate range can be used when infestations occur later in crop development or where pest pressure is continuous. Couraze 4 Insecticide will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms, or fruit. Additional crop protection may be required for insects feeding in, or on these plant parts, and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests-controlled sections of, this label. Additionally, specific application information for Couraze 4 Insecticide are also provided in the crop-specific sections of this label.

Foliar Applications:
Apply foliar applications of Couraze 4 Insecticide as a directed or broadcast foliar spray. Thorough coverage of foliage is necessary without runoff for optimum insecticidal efficacy. Use adequate spray volumes, property calibrated application equipment, and spray adjuvant if necessary to obtain thorough coverage. Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of Couraze 4 Insecticide on leaves and fruit may result in loss of insect control or delay in onset of activity. Couraze 4 Insecticide may be applied with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Minimum spray volumes unless otherwise specified on crop specific application sections are 10 gallons per acre by ground and 5 gallons per acre by air. Couraze 4 Insecticide may also be applied by overhead chemigation (see additional information in "Chemigation" section of this label below) if allowed in crop specific application section.

Enclosed Structures:
Do not apply Couraze 4 Insecticide in enclosed structures such as planthouses or greenhouses except as specified in the TOBACCO, CUCURBIT VEGETABLES, FRUITING VEGETABLES and GREENHOUSE VEGETABLES, (Mature plants in production greenhouses): Cucumber, Tomato only sections of this label. Application should be made only to plants grown in field-type soils, potting media, or mixtures thereof. Do not apply to plants grown in non-soil medias such as perlite, vermiculite, rock wool, or other soil-less media. Couraze 4 Insecticide should be pre-mixed with water or other appropriate diluents prior to application. Keep Couraze 4 Insecticide and water suspension agitated to avoid settling.

Plants Grown for Seed:
Use of Couraze 4 Insecticide on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is not permitted unless allowed under state specific, supplemental labeling.

Supplemental Control Measures:
Suppression or less than complete control of certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding may also result from application of Couraze 4 Insecticide. Complete control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures.

Pollinator Precautions:
As with any insecticide, care should be taken to minimize exposure of Couraze 4 Insecticide to honey bees and other pollinators.
RESTRICTION: Do not use Couraze 4 Insecticide on crops requiring bee pollination during bloom and a minimum of 10 days prior to bloom.

Additional Information:
Additional information on uses of Couraze 4 Insecticide for these crops and other questions may be obtained from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants, or local Cheminova, Inc. representatives.

Application Rate Limitation:
Do not apply more than 0.5 Ib. active ingredient per acre per year regardless of formulatio
