GENERAL INFORMATION
Diazinon AG500 is an emulsifiable solution which, when diluted with water according to the directions, is intended for the control of insect pests of agricultural crops and other plants. Do not use in greenhouses. Do not use in barns or dwellings. Do not use on livestock. Aerial application is prohibited, except as allowed on the label for use on lettuce.
In the directions for use which follow, best control is obtained when application is made when infestation is noticed. To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, since crop or plant injury may result.
Do not use water from treated cranberry beds for drinking purposes or to irrigate crops other than those appearing on EPA approved diazinon labels.
Note: The California Department of Pesticide Regulation has set a 5-day reentry period for diazinon on peaches and nectarines. Five days should elapse between the time of application and the time a worker may enter the field to engage in any activity requiring substantial contact with treated foliage. When a mixture of two or more organophosphate pesticides are applied in combination, the interval should be prolonged by adding to the largest applicable interval an additional 50% of that interval.
Failure to follow the directions for use and precautions on this label may result in poor insect control, crop injury, or illegal residues. 

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Determine the acreage to be treated by the sprinkler system.
2. Measure the appropriate amount of Diazinon AG500 needed to treat the acreage to be treated. Refer to the specific directions for use for the application rate and the amount of water per acre.
3. Add the pre-measured Diazinon AG500 to the chemigation system supply tank and dilute with water if needed. Proper agitation is needed if Diazinon AG500 is tank mixed with other pesticides registered for sprinkler chemigation application.
4. Start the irrigation system and bring the system up to full pressure, making certain that all sprinkler heads are functioning properly.
5. Engage the chemigation injection or venturi system to add the diazinon to the irrigation lines.
6. Continue to run irrigation system for a few minutes after supply tank is empty to allow material in the irrigation lines to reach the sprinkler heads furthest from the chemigation injection point.

MIXING PROCEDURES
Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Prepare only the amount of spray mixture needed for the immediate application. Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of this product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand in the spray tank overnight. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use.
1. Diazinon AG500 Alone:
Add ½ of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the Diazinon AG500 to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after theDiazinon AG500 has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
2. Diazinon AG500 in Tank-Mixtures:
Note: Do not mix Diazinon AG500 with any formulation of Captan or Captec® because crop injury may occur.
Diazinon is physically compatible with most insecticide and fungicide products; if you are not certain of the physical compatibility of Diazinon AG500 with other tank mix partners, please contact your local Helena Chemical Company sales representative. When using Diazinon AG500 in tank mixtures, observe all directions
for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank mix products’ labels. Confirm that the tank mixture is safe to the crop by spraying a small area first, and evaluating crop safety after an appropriate period. Do not treat larger areas until crop safety has been confirmed. Add ½ of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any tank-mix partners. Add tank-mix partners in this order: all products in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders,wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquids, and emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank-mix partner to fully disperse before adding the next product. Maintain sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water and until all of the mixture has been applied.
