PRODUCT INFORMATION

Host EC is an emulsifiable concentrate that can be applied as a foliar spray to control many important insects Host EC is mixed with water for application For fields to which applications of Host EC will be made, construct a vegetative filter strip if one does not already exist Existing and new filter strips must be, at a minimum, 10-foot-wide and composed of grass or other permanent vegetation between the field edge and down gradient aquatic habitat (including, but not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or natural ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish farm ponds) Vegetative filter strips must be maintained to optimize their utility Only apply products containing indoxacarb onto fields where a maintained vegetative buffer strip of at least 10 feet exists between the field and down gradient aquatic habitat Use Restrictions: • Do not use in greenhouses • Not for use on ornamental plants or plants being grown for ornamental purposes • Not for use in residential areas • Do not formulate this product into any other end-use products without written permission of Sharda USA LLC • Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system except for application to alfalfa, corn (field), corn (pop), corn (grown for seed), cotton, peanut, and soybean, and as allowed by Federal Supplemental and Special Local Need (SLN) labeling (refer to the APPLICATION BY CHEMIGATION section of this label) Use Precaution: • Always shake well before use

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT

Sharda USA LLC supports the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests This product may be used as part of an IPM program which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage IPM principles and practices include field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, rotation of insecticides with different modes-of-action, and treating when target pest populations reach locally determined action thresholds Consult your State Cooperative Extension Service, professional consultants, or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site systems in your area

BENEFICIAL ARTHROPODS

Other than reducing the target pest species as a food source, Host EC helps conserve certain beneficial arthropods, including parasitic wasps, predatory mites, big-eyed bugs, damsel bugs, minute pirate bugs, and spiders While these beneficials cannot be relied upon to control pests, they are of potential value and can be monitored along with pests in pest management programs on these crops

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Apply at the listed rates when insect populations reach locally determined economic thresholds Consult the cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in your area Host EC applications must target eggs and small instar larvae Follow-up treatments of Host EC must be applied, as needed, to keep pest populations within threshold limits Apply Host EC at 5- to 7-day intervals or as needed to manage specific target insect pests, as specified in the specific crop sections, to maintain control Use sufficient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage Because Host EC is most effective through ingestion of treated plant material, thorough spray coverage is essential for optimum control of targeted pest insects Using increased water volumes will typically result in better spray coverage, especially under adverse conditions including dry, hot weather, or dense plant foliage Host EC may be applied by ground, aerial, or overhead sprinkler chemigation application equipment For aerial application, use the following directions unless otherwise specified in specific crop/pest sections of this label or EPA-approved supplemental labeling: Use a minimum of 3 gals water per acre (gpa) [and minimum of 5 gals water per acre in Arizona and California] For ground application, use the following directions unless otherwise specified in specific crop/pest sections of this label or EPA-approved supplemental labeling: Use a minimum of 5 gals water per acre Higher gallonage will provide better coverage and performance For overhead chemigation applications, see APPLICATION BY CHEMIGATION section of the label for guidance on water volumes to be used Use of Adjuvants: In some situations where coverage is difficult to achieve including closed canopy, dense foliage, plants with waxy leaf surfaces, or less than optimum application equipment, an adjuvant may improve performance Use only adjuvant products that are labeled for agricultural use and follow the directions on the manufacturer’s label.
