Directions For Use

It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This labeling must be in the user’s possession during application. Read the entire Directions For Use and Conditions of Sale and Warranty before using this product. DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. NurizmaTM insecticide is not for sale, distribution, or use in Nassau and Suffolk counties in New York State. Construct and maintain a minimum 15-foot-wide vegetative filter strip of grass or other permanent vegetation between the field edge and down gradient aquatic habitat (such as, but not limited to, lakes; reservoirs; rivers; permanent streams; marshes or natural ponds; estuaries; and commercial fish farm ponds). Only apply products containing broflanilide onto fields where a maintained vegetative buffer strip of at least 15 feet exists between the field and down gradient aquatic habitat. For guidance, refer to the following publication for information on constructing and maintaining effective buffers: Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses.

Product Information

Apply and incorporate NurizmaTM insecticide into the soil to control specified below-ground insects. Mode of Action Broflanilide, the active ingredient in Nurizma, binds to an inter-subunit allosteric site on the GABA receptor, resulting in a block of inhibitory neurotransmission, convulsions and death of target insects, and is classified by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) as a Group 30 insecticide (GABA-gated chloride channel allosteric modulators). Resistance Management Nurizma contains a Group 30 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Nurizma or other Group 30 insecticides. These resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides is used repeatedly in the same fields. Although insecticide resistance cannot be predicted, a general rule to reduce the onset of resistance is to not consecutively and repeatedly apply Group 30 insecticides during a growing season for control of particular insects. Where possible, multiple pest control tools in addition to chemical control should be used as part of an integrated pest management (IPM) approach. BASF encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective longterm control of the insects on this label. Consult your state or local agricultural authorities or your BASF representative for more specific details on insect resistance management strategies.

Application Instructions

For in-furrow use:

• When using flat-fan nozzles, align nozzles with the row to direct spray into the open furrow. NurizmaTM insecticide must be covered with soil immediately after application.

• Minimum spray volume per acre - Dilute Nurizma in a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre.

• Nurizma can be directly injected into the suction or pressure line(s) of an in-furrow liquid spray application system if the product is uniformly dispersed into the solution.

• DO NOT apply more than 2.3 fl ozs per acre of Nurizma [0.0445 lb active ingredient (ai) per acre] per application and/or per year total, including seed treatment (when applicable) and soil application. Compatibility Test Before mixing components, always perform a compatibility jar test. 1. Add components in the order listed in Mixing Order instructions. - For 5 gallons per acre volume: Start with 1 cup of water from the intended source at the source temperature. - For other spray volumes: Adjust rates accordingly. - Dry product: Add 2 teaspoons per pound of product per acre. - Liquid product: Add 1/2 teaspoon per pint of product per acre. 2. Always cap the jar and invert 10 cycles after component additions. 3. When the components have all been added to the jar, let the solution stand for 15 minutes. 4. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The spray solution should not have free oil on the surface, fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, or thick (clabbered) texture. DO NOT use any solution that could clog spray nozzles.

Mixing Order

Make sure each component is thoroughly mixed and suspended before adding tank mix partners. Except when mixing products in PVA bags, maintain constant agitation during mixing and application. Use solution immediately after mixing.

1. Water - Fill a thoroughly clean sprayer tank 3/4 full of clean water and begin agitation.

2. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after each component has been added.

3. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.

4. Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates including Nurizma, or suspo-emulsions) - Containers 5 gallons or less: Shake well before adding to the tank. - Containers more than 5 gallons: Recirculate before adding to the tank. - Consult a BASF representative for additional information regarding agitation and recirculation.

5. Water-soluble products 6. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrates when applicable) 7. Water-soluble additives [such as ammonium sulfate (AMS) or urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) when applicable] 8. Remaining quantity of water.
