PRODUCT INFORMATION

Guest is a microencapsulated synthetic pyrethroid insecticide that controls insects by contact and ingestion Guest is intended for control of insect pests in alfalfa, canola, Cole crops, corn, cotton, fruiting vegetables, legume vegetables, lettuce, okra, onion, peanut, pistachios, pome fruits, rice, grain sorghum, soybean, stone fruits, sugarcane, sunflower, tobacco, tree nuts including pecans, wheat, triticale, conifer and deciduous trees (plantations, nurseries and seed orchards) and non-cropland areas adjacent to crops Initial and residual insect control is contingent upon thorough crop coverage Apply with ground or air equipment, using sufficient water to obtain full coverage of foliage Apply in a minimum of 2 gallons per acre by air or 10 gallons per acre by ground unless otherwise specified in this label When foliage is dense or pest pressure is high (heavier insect or egg pressure, larger larval stages), use of higher application volumes and/or higher label use rates may improve initial and residual control For cutworm control, Guest may be applied before, during, or after planting For soil incorporated applications, use higher labeled rates in rate range for improved control

USE PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS

Nursery (Ornamentals, Vegetables, Trees, Container Stock)

• DO NOT apply as foliar broadcast application using a mechanically pressurized handgun to nurseries

• DO NOT apply as drench/soil/ground-direct application methods using a mechanically pressurized handgun to nurseries Removable chemical extraction probes (also known as “stingers”) used in suction/extraction systems must be rinsed within the pesticide container prior to removal

INSECT RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

For resistance management, Guest contains a Group 3a insecticide Any insect/mite population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Guest and other Group 3a insecticides The resistant individuals may dominate the insect/mite population if this group of insecticides/acaricides are used repeatedly in the same fields Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed To delay insecticide/acaricide resistance, take the following steps: Rotate the use of Guest or other Group 3a insecticides/acaricides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests

• Use tank mixtures with insecticides/acaricides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted DO NOT rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the same pest population Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC): o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target species o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect resistance management o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted pest(s) o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits Guest MultiNet Book US 83529-332 11473CR1.indd 6 6/20/24 10:49 AM 7 o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active

• Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices

• Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival If the level of survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor

• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area

• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Sharda USA LLC You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance
