INFORMATION
OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE Insecticide/Miticide is a Suspension Concentrate formulation. The active ingredient contained in OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE is active by contact on all mite development stages. However, mite juvenile stages are often more susceptible than adults. OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE is also highly effective against whitefly nymphs, plus it has a significant effect on the otherwise difficult to control pupal stage. Make applications to coincide with early threshold level in developing mite population. OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/ MITICIDE can be applied by air, ground equipment, or through chemigation. However, thorough coverage of all plant parts is required for optimum performance. Evaluate the performance of OBERON 2 SC Insecticide/Miticide no sooner than 4 – 10 days following application.
Use in Greenhouse is not permitted unless otherwise directed by state-specific supplemental labeling.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE contains an active ingredient with lipid biosynthesis inhibitor (LBI) mode of action, classified as a Group 23 product. Studies to determine cross-resistance of Group 23 products with other chemical classes have demonstrated no cross-resistance. Bayer CropScience strongly encourages that OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE, applied alone or in tankmix combination with another Group 23 product, be applied in a block rotation or windowed approach with products from other chemical classes having   a different mode of action before using additional applications of other Group 23 products against the same target pest. Using a block rotation or windowed approach, along with other IPM practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or delaying a pest’s ability to develop resistance to a given class of chemistry.
Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or Bayer CropScience representative for additional resistance management or IPM recommendations.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL    
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.

PESTICIDE STORAGE
OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE is packaged in poly-ethylene containers. Do not allow product or containers to freeze. Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferable in a locked storage area.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
For all insects, timing of application should be based on careful scouting and local thresholds.

CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS
OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE may be applied through irrigation systems (chemigation) only on those crops listed under the crop Application Directions. Do not allow chemigation to run off field.

SPRAY DRIFT REDUCTION MANAGEMENT
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.

FOR USE IN CALIFORNIA
Allow growth of a vegetative filter strip within 25 feet (on which the product should not be applied) along lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, marshes, potholes, vernal pools, natural ponds, estuaries, or commercial fish farm ponds.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Mix pesticides in areas not prone to runoff such as concrete mixing//loading pads, disked soil in flat terrain or graveled mix pads, or use a suitable method to contain spills and /or rinsate. Properly empty and triple-rinse pesticide containers at time of use.

COMPATIBILITY
OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE is physically and biologically compatible with many registered pesticides and fertilizers or micronutrients. When considering mixing OBERON 2 SC INSECTICIDE/MITICIDE with other pesticides, or other additives, first contact your supplier for advice. For further information,  contact  your  local  Bayer  Representative. If your supplier and Bayer Representative  have  no  experience  with  the  combination  you are considering, conduct a test to determine physical compatibility. To determine physical compatibility, add the required proportions of each chemical with the same proportion of water, as will be present in the chemical supply tank, into a suitable container, mix thoroughly and allow to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be readily re-mixed, the mixture is considered physically compatible.
