DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This product is for use in commercial settings only. Use in residential settings is prohibited. 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. High Pressure Handwand Equipment: When applications are made by high pressure handwand equipment, the maximum application rate for all crops and use-patterns is 0.0025 pound active ingredient per gallon.
Requirements for Reducing Spray Drift:
Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use, or consumption can occur.
1. Use the largest droplet size consistent with acceptable efficacy. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure.
For groundboom and aerial applications, use medium or coarser spray nozzles according to ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles
or a volume mean diameter (VMD) of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
2. Make aerial or ground applications when the wind velocity favors on target product deposition. Apply only when the wind speed is less than or equal to 10 mph. For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site on the upwind side, immediately prior to application.
3. Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and
increasing temperatures with increasing distance above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid
areas. Where permissible by local regulations, the applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
4. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.
5. All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
6. For groundboom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
7. For airblast applications, turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying the outer two rows. To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard applications, spray must be directed into the canopy.
8. For aerial applications, release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. If the application includes an aquatic buffer zone, 'do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy. 9. For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used and must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of rotor blade diameter. Use upwind swath displacement.
USE DIRECTIONS
BEFORE USING, READ WARNING STATEMENTS ON CONTAINER LABEL
This product is for use in conventional hydraulic sprayers, ground applicators, aerial sprayers and listed chemigation equipment. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift of spray from treated areas. Repeat applications as necessary unless otherwise specified. Consult your state experiment station or state extension service for proper timing of applications. Dimethoate 400has systemic and contact activity against a broad spectrum of-piercing, sucking and chewing insects.
COMPATIBILITY: Dimethoate 400 is compatible in spray tank mixes with most insecticides, miticides, and fungicides, provided they are not alkaline in reaction.
FOR PROPER MIXING, SPRAY TANK MUST BE AT LEAST THREE-QUARTERS FILLED WITH WATER BEFORE ADDING DIMETHOATE 400.
MECHANICAL AGITATION OR RECIRCULATION THROUGH PUMP BYPASS TO TANK IS USUALLY SUFFICIENT FOR MAINTAINING A GOOD
DISPERSION.
To increase the consistency and performance of Dimethoate 400 when less than ideal water conditions exist (when pH is greater than 7), use LI 700 at 1.0 pint per 100 gallons of spray mixture. Spray tank mixtures of Dimethoate 400 with alkaline insecticides and fungicides should be applied promptly. ODOR: Dimethoate 400 formulations may produce a distinctive odor during the spray operation, but under normal conditions this odor does not persist. Aerial Applications: Apply at least 1.0 gallon of finished spray per acre. Apply at least 5.0 gallons of finished spray per acre in California. Automatic flagging devices should be used whenever feasible. If human flaggers are employed, they must wear the protective clothing and respirator specified on this label. Ground Applications: Use water for dilution and apply at least 5.0 gallons of finished spray per acre unless otherwise directed.
