RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE contains a Group 4A insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired resistance to Group 4A insecticides may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A insecticides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE or other Group 4A insecticides. To delay insecticide resistance consider: NOT using a foliar application of SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE or any insecticide in the neonicotinoid class following an in-furrow or in soil application of SCOPRION. Optimizing resistance management by applying SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE no more than three times per growing season. Avoiding the consecutive use of SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE or other Group 4A insecticides that have a similar target site of action, on the same insect species.
Using tank mixes or premixes with insecticides from a different target site of action Group as long as the involved products are registered for the
same use and have different sites of action. Basing insecticide use on a comprehensive Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy.Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors and/or manufacturers for resistance management program and/or IPMrecommendations for the specific site and resistant pest problems.Using another registered pesticide that is not in the neonicotinoid class or nitroguanidine subclass of chemistry, if the maximum season limit ofSCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE has been applied and pest populations require additional treatments.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Failure to follow directions and precautions on this label may result in crop injury, poor insect control and /or illegal residues. For best performance, always follow these directions:SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE must be applied when insect pest populations begin to build, but before populations reach economically damaging levels. Economic thresholds for pests controlled by SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE may be available from your State and County Extension Service.
SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE is a selective insecticide that has minimal impact on beneficial arthropods and its use is compatible with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. However, SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or to residues on blooming crops and weeds. Do not apply SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE or allow it to drift onto blooming plants if bees are actively foraging in the treated area.
SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE is taken up into foliage after application. However, thorough spray coverage is essential for optimal performance. Apply SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE in sufficient water to ensure good coverage. SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE may aid in the suppression of some pests. Suppression can mean either inconsistent control (good to poor), or consistent control at a level below that is generally considered acceptable for commercial control. If the maximum season limit of SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE Insecticide, as defined under crop use directions, has been applied and pest populations require additional treatments, use another registered pesticide that is not in the neonicotinoid class or nitroguanidine subclass of chemistry.

Rotational Crops:
For all crops other than cucurbits, fruiting vegetables, grapes, head & stem brassica, leafy vegetables and potato, a 120 day plant back interval must be observed.

Mixing Instructions:
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the desired amount of SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.

SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE plus Tank Mixtures
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator before adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners may be added in this order: products packaged in water soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquids, emulsifiable concentrates, surfactants and adjuvants. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all the mixture has been applied. When using SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE in tank mixtures, all products in water soluble packaging must be added to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE. Allow the water soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank. If using SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions and limitations which appear on the tank mix product label. No label dosage rate may be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed. This product must not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in those states which the referenced products are registered.

Compatibility:
IMPORTANT: The crop safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops has not been tested. Before applying any tank mixture not specifically recommended on this label, the safety to the target crop must be confirmed. SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE is compatible with most commonly used pesticides. However, since it is not possible to test all possible mixtures, the user must pretest to assure the physical compatibility and lack of phytotoxic effect of any proposed mixtures with SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE. To determine the physical compatibility of SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE with other products, use a jar test, as described below: Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt of water. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for additional required ingredients to the spray tank.

APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Ground Application
Spray nozzles must be selected which will provide accurate and uniform spray deposition. Use spray nozzles which provide medium sized droplets and reduce drifts. To help insure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult nozzle manufacturers and/or State and County Extension Service.
Apply SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage. In situations where a dense canopy exists and/or pest pressure is high, use greater water volumes. The use of a spray adjuvant may improve spray coverage. Avoid making applications under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.

Aerial Application
Apply SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE in water, using the minimum spray volume indicated in the Special Instructions of each crop, but not less than 3 gallons per acre. Increase spray volume where practical to improve coverage. Avoid making application under conditions where uniform coverage cannot be obtained or where excessive spray drift may occur.

Application Through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation):
SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE alone or in combination with other products which are registered for application through sprinkler irrigation may be applied through irrigation systems where so noted in the soil application of each crop. SCORPION 35SL INSECTICIDE may be applied through microirrigation (individual spaghetti tube), overhead irrigation, motorized calibrated irrigation equipment, drip or trickle irrigation where so noted in the soil application of each crop, but must NOT be applied through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialist, equipment manufacturers or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
