Application Directions:

• For soil applications of Imidacloprid 4F, direct the product into the seed or root zone of crop. Failure to place Imidacloprid 4F into root zone may result in loss of control or delay in onset of activity. Apply Imidacloprid 4F with ground or chemigation application equipment.
• Do not apply Imidacloprid 4F in enclosed structures such as planthouses or greenhouses, except as specifically instructed in the Tobacco, Cucurbit Vegetables, Fruiting Vegetables and Greenhouse Vegetables.

• Apply foliar applications of Imidacloprid 4F as a directed or a 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 Imidacloprid 4F on leaves and fruit may result in loss of insect control or delay in onset of activity. Apply Imidacloprid 4F with properly calibrated ground or aerial application equipment. Minimum spray volumes, unless otherwise specified on crop specific sections are 10 gallons per acre by ground and 5 gallons per acre by air. Imidacloprid 4F may also be applied by overhead chemigation if allowed in crop specific application section.

• When applied as a soil application, optimum activity of Imidacloprid 4F results from applications to the root zone of plants to be continuously taken into the roots over a long period of time and the systemic nature of Imidacloprid 4F allows movement from roots through the xylem tissue to all vegetative parts of the plants. This results in extended residual activity of Imidacloprid 4F, the control of insects, and the prevention and/or reduction of virus transmission or symptom expression, and plant health benefits. The rate of Imidacloprid 4F applied affects the length of the plant protection period. Use the higher rate within the labeled rate range when infestations occur later in crop development or where pest pressure is continuous. Imidacloprid 4F will generally not control insects infesting flowers, blooms, or fruit. Additional crop protection may be required for insects feeding in or on these plant parts, and for insects not listed in the crop specific pests controlled sections of this label. Additionally, specific Imidacloprid 4F application instructions are also provided in the crop specific sections of this label.
