RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

COURIER 40SC belongs to a class of chemicals not previously used as pesticides and not known to be cross-resistant to other classes of insecticides. However, insect pests are known to develop resistance to products used repeatedly. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area. Such strategies may include rotating with insecticides with different modes of action. Consult your local pest control advisor or extension office for details. If resistance to this product develops in your area, it may not provide adequate control. If you experience difficulty with control, and resistance is a likely cause, consult your local state university horticultural specialist or local agricultural authorities for the best alternative method of control. To preserve the usefulness of COURIER 40SC, do not make more than two consecutive applications. Prior to subsequent applications, use an alternative chemistry with a different mode of action. If a different crop in an adjacent field has been treated with buprofezin for whitefly control within the past 28 days, do not apply again as the first whitefly application. Always consult your local crop advisor for the most appropriate control decision for your area. Resistance management strategies advise against applying rates lower than those recommended on the label.

USE PRECAUTIONS:

• Apply in a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre by air or 20 gallons per acre by ground, unless otherwise specified in Directions for Use.
• Crop Rotational Restrictions: All crops listed on this label may be planted at any time. Small grain crops and leafy vegetables may be planted 30 days following application. All other crops may be planted 60 days following application.
• Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

APPLICATION RATES:

Whiteflies:

Cotton - 9 to 12.5 fl oz./A

Recommendations and Use Restrictions:

• Do not apply within 21 days of harvest in California and 14 days outside California.
• Treatment should be applied when population level reaches economic threshold. Consult local and state agricultural authorities for details.
• Good coverage is essential. With ground application, use 10 to 50 gallons of water per acre. For aerial application, use a minimum of 5 gallons per acre. Orient nozzles to assure good coverage. Use of a higher volume of water will assure better coverage, especially under adverse conditions, such as hot, dry weather and/or a dense canopy. Use the higher application rate and spray volume when treating a rapidly increasing insect population. The entire field should be treated.
• Apply no more than two applications per season.
• Allow at least 28 days between applications.

Cucurbits, (including cucumbers; melons [cantaloupe, honeydew, melons, watermelons, muskmelons]; pumpkins; squash) - 9 to 13.6 fl oz/A

Recommendations and Use Restrictions:

• Allow at least 7 days between applications to cucurbits.
• Do not apply within 7 days of harvest in cucumbers.
• Do not apply within 10 days of harvest in California and 7 days outside California in melons, pumpkins, and squash.
• Do not make more than 2 applications per crop cycle.
• Do not make more than 4 applications per year.

Lettuce (head and leaf) - 9 to 13.6 fl oz/A

Recommendations and Use Restrictions:

• Do not apply within 10 days of harvest in California and 7 days outside California.
• Allow at least 7 days between applications to lettuce.
• Do not make more than 2 applications per crop cycle.
• Do not make more than 4 applications per year.

Snap Beans - 9 to 13.6 fl oz/A

Recommendations and Use Restrictions:

• Allow at least 14 days between applications.
• Do not exceed 0.76 lb ai/A per crop cycle.
• Do not apply within 14 days of harvest.

Leaf Hoppers, Mealybugs, Whiteflies:

Tomatoes - 13.6 fl oz/A, 9to 13.6 fl oz/A

Recommendations and Use Restrictions:

• Treatment should be applied when population level reaches economic threshold. Consult local and state agricultural authorities for details.
• Good coverage is essential. Apply in a minimum finished spray volume of 5 gallons per acre by air or 20 gallons per acre by ground to accommodate for the size of the tomato plants. Orient nozzles to assure better coverage. Use of a higher volume of water will assure better coverage, especially under adverse conditions, such as hot, dry weather and/or a dense canopy. The entire field should be treated.
• Apply no more than two applications per season.
• Allow at least 28 days between applications.
• Do not apply within 7 days of harvest.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS:

For terrestrial uses, do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water by cleaning of equipment or disposal of equipment washwaters.
