GENERAL USE INSTRUCTIONS
Javelin is a biological insecticide specific for the control of lepidopteran larvae (see Application Rates section). Javelin attacks the larval gut and must be ingested by the fnsect to be effective. Since the active ingredient, Bacillus thuringiensis, is exempt from tolerance requirements, Javelin may be applied up to and on the day of harvest.

Mixing
Always shake or stir Javelin thoroughly before use. Add application rate amount of Javelin to 314 volume of required spray before filling tank. Maintain agitation. Do not allow diluted sprays to remain in the tank for more than 48 hours. Javelin is formulated to provide desirable coverage and adherence to leaf surfaces. Additional adjuvants, spreaders, or stickers may be added to improve product performance, especially under heavy dew or rainy conditions. Combinations with commonly used insecticides, fungicides, or. other spray tank adjuvants are generally not deleterious tq Javelin if the mix is used promptly. Before mixing in the spray tank, it is advisable to test physical compatibility by mixing all components in a small container in proportionate quantities. Tank mix instructions are for use only in states where the tank mix product and application site are registered. Read and follow all label directions for use for other pesticides used as tank mix partners with Javelin for specific rates, application timing, and precautions.

Application Instructions
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 these factors when making decisions.

Ground Application
Unless otherwise stated, use the application rate amount of Javelin in a minimum of 20 gallons of water per acre depending on type of
crop and requirements of state regulations.

Aerial Application
Use application rate amount of Javelin in at least 5 gallons of water per acrE1,. Applications at higher water volumes have demonstrated improved control of targeted pests. Apply early morning or evening when air is calm. Aerial application is permiSSible where tree canopy exists.
For most consistent control, apply at first sign of newly hatched worms (1st and 2nd instar larvae). Reapply as necessary under a pest management program that includes close scouting, If rapid knockdown of heavy worm or non-Iepidopterous populations is necessary, include an effective contact insecticide in combination with Javelin, For heavy worm infestations, use the higher Javelin rate. During
situations of dense foliage and/or rapid growth, increaSing water carrier volumes will provide better crop coverage and improve avelin performance.
