DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
See individual crops for specific pollinator protection application restrictions. If none exist under the specific crop, for foliar applications, follow these application directions for crops/plants that are contracted to have pollinator services, for food/feed crops and commercially grown ornamentals that are attractive to pollinators, and for non-agricultural use sites

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area.
Malice 2F Insecticide contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance to Group 4A may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted species.
The active ingredient in Malice 2F Insecticide belongs to the neonicotinoid chemical class. Insect pests resistant to other chemical classes have not shown cross-resistance to Imidacloprid. In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry in insect species with high resistance development potential, it is recommended that for each crop season: 1) only a single, soil application of Malice 2F Insecticide be made; 2) foliar applications of products from this same class not be made following a long residual, soil application of Malice 2F Insecticide, or other neonicotinoid products. Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include: Actara, Assaif, Calypso, Centric, Intruder, Leverage, Provado and Trimax.
Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as soil treatments include: Platinum.
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product manufacturer for additional insect resistance management recommendations.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply Malice 2F Insecticide as a directed or broadcast foliar spray using properly calibrated ground application equipment as allowed in the specific application section. For insecticidal efficacy, thorough coverage of all target foliage with runoff is necessary. To obtain
thorough coverage, use adequate spray volumes, properly calibrated application equipment and a spray adjuvant if necessary. Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of this product on leaves and fruit, if present, may result in loss of insect control or delay
in onset of activity. Minimum spray volumes, unless otherwise specified on crop specific application sections, are 10.0 gallons per
acre by ground. This product may be applied by chemigation (see Chemigation section) if allowed in the specific application section.

Restrictions
Do not apply with aerial application equipment.
Regardless of formulation or method of application, apply no more than 0.5 pound active ingredient imidacloprid per acre per year, including seed treatment, soil, and foliar uses, unless specified within a crop-specific application section for a given crop.
Apply Malice 2F Insecticide directly into the seed or root-zone of crop. Failure to place Malice 2F Insecticide into root-zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. Apply Malice 2F Insecticide with ground or chemigation equipment. Broadcast, foliar applications are only to be used for seedling flats or trays, or where product is intended to be washed from foliage to soil prior to drying on foliage.
Optimum activity of Malice 2F Insecticide results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier Malice 2F Insecticide is available to a developing plant, the earlier the protection begins. Malice 2F Insecticide is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time and the systemic nature of Malice 2F Insecticide allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the plant. This results in extended residual activity of Malice 2F Insecticide, the control of insects and the prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The rate of Malice 2F Insecticide applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Use the higher listed rate within the specified rate range when infestations occur later in crop development, or where pest pressure is continuous. Malice 2F Insecticide will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms or fruit. Additional crop protection may be required for insects feeding in, or on these plant parts and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests controlled sections of this label. Additional, specific Malice 2F Insecticide application instructions are also provided in the crop-specific sections of this label. Suppression, or less than complete control of certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding, may also result from a Malice 2F Insecticide application. Residual control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures. Malice 2F Insecticide use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial plant-ing is not permitted unless it is allowed under state specific 24(c) labeling. Pre-mix Malice 2F Insecticide with water or other appropriate diluent prior to application. Keep Malice 2F Insecticide and water suspension agitated to avoid settling.

Mixing Instructions
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the tank and with agitation add Malice 2F Insecticide. Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. Malice 2F Insecticide may also be used with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions. Please see Compatibility section below. When tank mixtures of Malice 2F Insecticide and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as specified above and follow the Mixing Order described below.

Mixing Order
When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders first, Malice 2F Insecticide and other flowable (suspension concentrate) products second, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Ensure good agitation as each component is added. Do not add an additional component until the previous is thoroughly mixed. If a fertilizer solution is added, a fertilizer/pesticide compatibility agent may be needed. Maintain constant agitation during both mixing and application to ensure uniformity of spray mixture.

Compatibility
Test compatibility of the intended mixture before adding Malice 2F Insecticide to the spray or mix tank. Add proportionate amounts of each ingredient in the appropriate order, to a pint or quart jar, cap, shake for 5 minutes, and let set for 5 minutes. Poor mixing or formation of precipitates that do not readily redisperse indicates an incompatible mixture, DO NOT USE.
