The WPS applied when this product is used to produceagricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries, or greenhouses.Keep children and pets off treated area until dry.APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS-SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING-Direct applications of AmTide Imidacloprid 2F Insecticide should be directed into the seed or root-zone of crop. Failure toplace this product into root-zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. This product may be applied withground or chemigation application. Do not apply with aerial application equipment. Broadcast, foliar applications are onlyrecommended to seedling flats or trays, or where product is intended to be washed from foliage to soil prior to drying infoliage.Optimum activity results from applications to the root-zone of plants to be protected. The earlier this product is available to adeveloping plant, the earlier the protection begins. This product is continuously taken into the roots over a long period of timeand the systemic nature of this product allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of theplant. This results in extended residual activity, the control of insects and the prevention and/or reduction of virustransmission or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The rate applied affects the length of the plant protectionperiod. Higher rates are recommended when infestations occur later in crop development, or where pest pressure iscontinuous. This product will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms or fruit. Additional crop protection may berequired for insects feeding in, or on these plant parts and for insects not listed in the crop-specific, pests controlled sectionsof this label.Suppression or less than complete control of certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding may also resultfrom applications of this product. Complete control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures.AmTide Imidacloprid 2F use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting isgenerally not recommended but may be allowed under State specific, supplemental labeling. As with any insecticide, careshould be taken to minimize exposure of the product to honey bees and other pollinators.

Forfurther information, contact your local AmTide, LLC representative.CHEMIGATION – DIRECTIONS FOR USETypes of Irrigation SystemsChemigation applications of AmTide Imidacloprid 2F may only be made to crops through chemigation systems as specified incrop-specific Application sections and only through low-pressure systems unless specifically instructed for a given crop. Donot apply AmTide Imidacloprid 2F through any other type of irrigation system.Uniform Water Distribution and System CalibrationThe irrigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticideresidues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated eater. The system must be calibrated to uniformlyapply the rates specified. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists,equipment manufacturers or other experts.Chemigation MonitoringA person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of theresponsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.DriftDo not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatmentRequired System Safety DevicesThe system must contain a function check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on theirrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a7

SPECIMEN LABELAmTide Imidacloprid 2F T&ORevised Date: 06/10/2009functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticideinjection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located in the intake side of theinjection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdraw from the supply tank when theirrigation system id either automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls toautomatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. The Irrigation line or water pump mustinclude a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the pointwhere pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacementinjection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticidesand capable of being fitted with a system interlock.Using Water from Public Water SystemsPublic water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such systemhas at least 15 service connections or regularly serves and average of least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of theyear. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flowpreventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As anoption to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged onto a reservoir tank prior to pesticideintroduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and to top or overflowrim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain afunctional automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection. The pesticide injectionpipeline must contain a functional normally closed solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pumpand connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdraw from the supply tank when the irrigation system iseither automatically or manually shut down. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut offthe pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops or in cases where there is no water pump, when the waterpressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump suchas a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that arecompatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.TURF & ORNAMENTAL APPLICATIONSFor Foliar and Systemic Insect Control in Turfgrass (Including Sod Farms),Landscape Ornamentals, Fruit and Nut Trees, Interior Plantscapes,Application InstructionsAPPLICATION TO TURFGRASSAmTide Imidacloprid 2F T & O can be used for the control of soil inhabiting pests of turfgrass, such as Northern & Southernmasked chafers, Cyclocephala borealis, C. immaculata, and/or C. lurida; Asiatic garden beetle, Maladera castanea;European chafer, Rhizotroqus majalis; Green June beetle, Cotinis nitida; May or June beetle, Phyllophaga spp.; Japanesebeetle, Popillia japonica; Oriental beetle, Anomala orientalis; Billbugs, Sphenophorus spp.; Annual bluegrass weevil,Listronotus spp.; Black turfgrass ataenius, Ataenius spretulus and Aphodius spp.; European Crane Fly, Tipula paludosa; andmole crickets, Scapteriscus spp. This product can also be used for suppression of cutworms and chinch bugs. It can be used8

SPECIMEN LABELAmTide Imidacloprid 2F T&ORevised Date: 06/10/2009as directed on turfgrass in sites such as home lawns, business and office complexes, shopping complexes,, golf courses,airports, cemeteries, parks, playgrounds, athletic fields and sod farms.The active ingredient in this product has sufficient residual activity so that applications can be made preceding the egg layingactivity of the target pests. High levels of control can be achieved when applications are made preceding or during the egglaying period. The need for an application can be based on historical monitoring of the site, previous records or experiences,current season adult trapping or other methods. Optimum control will be achieved when applications are made prior to egghatch of the target pests, followed by sufficient irrigation or rainfall to move the active ingredient through the thatch.Do not make applications when turfgrass areas are waterlogged or the soil is saturated with water. Adequate distribution ofthe active ingredient cannot be achieved when these conditions exist. The treated turf area must be in such a condition thatthe rainfall or irrigation will penetrate vertically in the soil profile. Applications cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 lb ofactive ingredient) per acre per year.APPLICATION EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON TURFGRASSApply this product in sufficient water to provide adequate distribution in the treated area. The use of accurately calibratedequipment normally used for the application of turfgrass insecticides is required. Use equipment which will produce auniform, coarse droplet spray, using a low pressure setting to eliminate off target drift. Check calibration periodically toensure that equipment is working properly.APPLICATION TO ORNAMENTALS & VEGETABLE PLANTSThis product is for use on ornamentals in commercial landscapes and interior plantscapes. It is a systemic product and willbe translocated upward into the plant system from root uptake. To assure optimum effectiveness, the product must be placedwhere the growing portion of the target plant can absorb the active ingredient. The addition of a nitrogen containing fertilizer,where applicable, into the solution may enhance the uptake of the active ingredient. Application can be made by foliarapplication or soil applications; including soil injection, drenches, and broadcast sprays. Foliar applications offer locallysystemic activity against insect pests.When making soil applications to plants with woody stems, systemic activity will be delayed until the active ingredient istranslocated throughout the plant. In some cases, this translocation delay could take 60 days or longer. For this reason,make applications prior to anticipated pest infestation to achieve optimum levels of control.For outdoor ornamentals, broadcast applications cannot exceed a total of 1.6 pints (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre peryear.Bark Media: Media with 30% or more bark content may confer a shorter period of protection when treated with product.RESISTANCE: Some insects are known to develop resistance to insecticides after repeated use. As with any insecticide, theuse of this product must conform to resistance management strategies established fro the use area. Because thedevelopment of resistance cannot be predicted, the use of this product must conform to resistance management strategiesestablished for the use area. Consult your local or state pest management authorities details.9

Mix product withthe required amount of water and apply as desired dependent upon the selected use pattern.When making foliar applications on hard to wet foliage such as holly, pine, or ivy, the addition of a spreader/ sticker isrecommended. If concentrate or mist type spray equipment is used, an equivalent amount of product should be used on thearea sprayed, as would be used in a dilute application.This product has been found to be compatible with commonly used fungicides, miticides, liquid fertilizers, and othercommonly used insecticides. The physical compatibility of this product may vary with different sources of pesticide productsand local cultural practices. Any tank mixture which has not been previously tested should be prepared on a small scale (pintor quart jar), using the proper proportions of pesticides and water to ensure the physical compatibility of the mixture.RESTRICTIONSDO NOT graze treated areas or use clippings from treated areas for feed or forage. Avoid runoff or puddling of irrigationwater following application. Keep children and pets off treated area until dry. Avoid application of IMIDACLOPRID 2F T & Oto areas which are water logged or saturated, which will not allow penetration into the root zone of the plant. DO NOT applymore than 1.6 pt (0.4 lb of active ingredient) per acre per year.Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on an Imidacloprid label, or with any crop for which a toleranceexists for the active ingredient.For crops not listed on an Imidacloprid label, or for crops for which no tolerances for the active ingredient have beenestablished, there is a 12-month plant-back interval.APPLICATION THROUGH IRRIGATION SYSTEMSThis product may be applied at rates specified on the label either alone or in tank mixtures with pesticides and chemicalsregistered for application through irrigation systems. The normal dilution ratio is 1 : 100 to 1 : 200, depending on the system.Always meter the product into the irrigation water during the first part of the irrigation cycle. The product may be mixedseparately prior to injection. Agitation may be necessary if the mixture is allowed to stand more than 24 hours.Remove scale, pesticide residue and other foreign matter from the tank and entire irrigation systems.Only use this product through micro irrigation (individual spaghetti tubes), drip irrigation, overhead irrigation, ebb and flood,or hand-held or motorized calibrated irrigation equipment.Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from nonuniform sufficient irrigation or rainfall is needed to allow the movement of the active ingredient through the thatch.If you have any questions about calibration, contact your State Extension Service specialist, equipment manufacturers orother experts in this area.Do not connect an irrigation systems (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system10
