DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS:
Days to harvest: There are no restrictions on applying DiPel WDG up to the time of harvest.
Sites: DiPel WDG may be used for any labeled pest in both field and greenhouse uses.
DiPel WDG is a highly selective insecticide for use against listed caterpillars (larvae) of
 epidopterous insects. Close scouting and early attention to infestations is highly recommended.
Larvae must eat deposits ofDiPel WDG to be affected. Always follow these directions:
• Treat when larvae are young (early instars) before the crop is extensively damaged.
• Larvae must be actively feeding on treated, exposed plant parts.
• Thorough spray coverage is needed to provide a uniform deposit of DiPel WDG at the site of larval feeding. For some crops directed drop nozzles by ground machine are required.
• Under heavy pest population pressure, use the higher label rates, shorten the spray interval, and/or raise gallonage to improve spray coverage.
• Repeat applications at an interval sufficient to maintain control, usually 3 to 14 days depending on plant growth rate, moth activity, rainfall after treating, and other factors. If attempting to control a pest with a single spray, make the treatment when egg hatch is essentially complete, but before extensive crop damage occurs.

• A spreader-sticker which has been approved for use on growing and harvested crops should be added for hard-to-wet crops such as cole crops, or to improve weather-fastness of the spray deposits.
• DiPel WDG is a non-restricted use pesticide and does not require a restricted use permit for purchase and use.
After eating a lethal dose ofDiPel WDG, larvae stop feeding within the hour, and will die within several days. Dying larvae move slowly, discolor, then shrivel, blacken and die.
DiPel WDG may be applied in conventional ground or aerial equipment with quantities of water sufficient to provide thorough coverage of infested plant parts. The amount of water needed per acre will depend on crop size, weather, spray equipment, and local experience. Unless otherwise indicated, use at least 2 gallons of water per acre by air; except in the Western U.S., where 5 to 10 gallons is the usual minimum. Add water to the spray or mixing tank at the level that provides maximum agitation. With the agitator running, slowly sprinkle in the DiPel WDG. Continue agitation. Then add other spray materials (if any). Add the balance of the water and agitate until mixed. Maintain the suspension while loading and spraying. Do not mix more DiPel WDG than can be used in a 12-hour period. Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions.
