• This products use is compatible with integrated pest management programs However, Hub WDG is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on blooming crops or weeds

• Hub WDG is rapidly taken up into foliage after application However, thorough spray coverage is essential for optimal performance Make application of Hub WDG in sufficient water to ensure good coverage See specific application information in the CROP USE DIRECTIONS section of this label The use of higher water volumes will generally result in better coverage, especially under adverse conditions (eg, hot, dry) or where a dense plant canopy exists The use of a spray adjuvant may improve spray coverage but is not required

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Ground Application Select spray nozzles which will provide accurate and uniform spray deposition Use spray nozzles which provide medium-sized droplets and reduce drift To help ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult nozzle manufacturers and/or State Extension Service specialists Apply Hub WDG using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage In situations where a dense canopy exists and/ or pest pressure is high, use greater water volumes The use of a spray adjuvant may improve spray coverage but is not required Do not make applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur Aerial Application Apply Hub WDG in water, using a minimum spray volume of 3 gals per acre Increase spray volume where practical to improve coverage Avoid making application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur

MIXING PROCEDURES

Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area Keep product container tightly closed when not in use

Hub WDG Alone Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank With the agitator running, add the desired amount of Hub WDG to the tank Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water Begin application of the solution after Hub WDG has completely dispersed into the mix water Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use Read and follow the applicable restric- tions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture

Hub WDG + Tank Mixtures Add 1/2 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: products packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables) such as Hub WDG, liquid flowables, liquids, emulsifiable concentrates, and surfactants/adjuvants Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed before adding the next product Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied

Important: When using Hub WDG in tank mixtures, add all products in water-soluble packaging to the tank before any other tank mix part- ner, including Hub WDG Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank If using Hub WDG in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations, which appear on the tank mix product label Do not exceed any label dosage rate, and follow the most restrictive label precautions and limitations Do not mix this product with any product which prohibits such mixing Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are labeled

Compatibility

Hub WDG is compatible with most commonly used pesticides, crop oils, adjuvants, and nutritional sprays However, since it is not possible to test all possible mixtures, the user must pre-test to assure the physical compatibility and lack of phytotoxic effect of any proposed mixtures with Hub WDG To determine the physical compatibility of Hub WDG with other products, use a jar test, as described below Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt of water Add wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes If the com- bination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank The crop safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops has not been tested Confirm the safety to the target crop before applying any tank mixture not specified on this label
