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 that are contracted to have pollinator services or for food/feed and commercially grown ornamentals that are attractive to pollinators

Resistance Management
Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, the use of this product must conform to resistance management strategies established for the use area. Prey 1.6 Insecticide contains a Group 4A Insecticide called imidacloprid. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent tolerance to group 4A products may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A products are used repeatedly as the predominant method for control for targeted species. This may eventually result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Prey 1.6 Insecticide and to other Group 4A products.
The active ingredient in Prey 1.6 Insecticide is a member of neonicotinoid chemical group. Avoid using a block of more than three consecutive applications of Prey 1.6 Insecticide and/or other Group 4A products having the same or similar mode of action. Following a neonicotinoid block of treatments, Loveland Products, Inc. strongly encourages the rotation to a block of applications with effective products of a different mode before using additional applications of neonicotinoid products. Using a block rotation or windowed approach, along with other IPM practices, is considered an effective use strategy for preventing or delaying an insect's pest's ability to develop resistance to this class of chemistry. Foliar applications of Prey 1.6 Insecticide or other Group 4A products from the neonicotinoid chemical class should not be used on crops previously treated with a long-residual, soil-applied product from the neonicotinoid chemical class. Other Group 4A, neonicotinoid products used as foliar treatments include; Actara, Assail, Calypso, Centric, Intruder, Leverage and Trimax Other 4A Group, neonicotinoid products used as soil treatment include: Admire and Platinum.

Application Directions
Apply Prey 1.6 Insecticide as a directed or broadcast foliar spray. Thorough coverage of foliage is necessary without runoff for optimum insecticidal efficacy. Use adequate spray volumes, properly calibrated application equipment and spray adjuvant if necessary to obtain thorough coverage. Failure to provide adequate coverage and retention of Prey 1.6 Insecticide on leaves and fruit may result in loss of insect control or delay in onset of activity. Prey 1.6 Insecticide may be applied with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Minimum recommended spray volumes unless otherwise specified on crop specific recommended application sections are 10 gallons/Acre by ground application and 5 gallons/Acre through aerial equipment. Prey 1.6 Insecticide may also be applied by overhead chemigation (see additional CHEMIGATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE section below) if allowed in crop specific recommended application section. Prey 1.6 Insecticide use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is generally not recommended but may be allowed under state-specific 24(c) labeling.

Restriction: 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.

Restriction: Do not apply Prey 1.6 Insecticide in enclosed structures such as greenhouses or planthouses.

Mixing Instructions
To prepare the application mixture, add a portion of the required amount of water to the spray tank and with agitation add Prey 1.6 Insecticide. Complete filling tank with balance of water needed. Maintain sufficient agitation during both mixing and application. Prey 1.6 Insecticide may also be used with other pesticides and/or fertilizer solutions. Please see Compatibility Note below. When tank mixtures of Prey 1.6 Insecticide and other pesticides are involved, prepare the tank mixture as recommended above and follow suggested

Mixing Order
When pesticide mixtures are needed, add wettable powders first, Prey 1.6 Insecticide, or other flowables 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 Note
Test compatibility of the intended tank mixture before adding Prey 1.6 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 re-disperse indicates an incompatible mixture that should not be used.
