mosquito adulticide applications.)	“ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS”

“This product is toxic to aquatic organisms, including fish and
invertebrates.  Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms
in water adjacent to treated areas.  This product may contaminate water
through runoff.  This product has a potential for runoff for several
weeks after application.  Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this
product.”   

“This product is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment on
blooming crops or weeds.  Do not apply this product or allow it to drift
to blooming crops or weeds while bees are actively visiting the
treatment area.”

“Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is
present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark.  Do not
contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash-waters or rinsate.”

pesticide regulation to determine if other regulatory requirements
exist.”

“Do not apply over bodies of water (lakes, rivers, permanent streams,
natural ponds, commercial fish ponds, swamps, marshes or estuaries),
except when necessary to target areas where adult mosquitoes are
present, and weather conditions will facilitate movement of applied
material away from the water in order to minimize incidental deposition

Note to registrant:  Also express this application rate as pounds or

	Directions for Use under Use Restrictions

Use-Specific Application Restrictions for products labels for 

Mosquito Adulticide Application by ground or air.

(Note: The maximum allowable application rate and maximum allowable
seasonal rate must be listed as pounds or gallons of formulated product
per acre, not just as pounds active ingredient per acre.)

	“For use by federal, state, tribal, or local government officials
responsible for public health or vector control, or by persons certified
in the appropriate category or otherwise authorized by the state or
tribal lead pesticide regulatory agency to perform adult mosquito
control applications, or by persons under their direct supervision.”

The maximum application rate for wide area mosquito adulticide
applications is 0.0025 lbs pyrethrin/acre, or 0.025 lbs piperonyl
butoxide/acre, whichever is lower.  When targeting Aedes Taeirorhynchus
and other difficult species applications may be made up to 0.008 lbs
pyrethrin/acre/day, or 0.08 lbs piperonyl butoxide/acre/day, whichever
is lower.  

“Do not apply more than 0.2 lbs pyrethrin/acre/year, or 2.0 lbs
piperonyl butoxide/acre/year, whichever is lower, in any treated area  
More frequent treatments may be made to prevent or control a threat to
public and/or animal health determined by a state, tribal, or local
health or vector control agency on the basis of documented evidence of
disease causing agents in vector mosquitoes or the occurrence of
mosquito-borne disease in animal or human populations, or if
specifically approved by the state or tribe during a natural disaster
recovery effort.”

WIND SPEED:

“Apply only when wind speed is greater than or equal to 1 mph.”

“Ground-based applications for wide-area mosquito abatement
application:

Spray equipment must be adjusted so that the volume median diameter is
less than 30 microns (Dv 0.5 < 30 μm) and that 90% of the spray is
contained in droplets smaller than 50 microns (Dv 0.9 < 50 μm). 
Directions from the equipment manufacturer or vendor, pesticide
registrant or a test facility using a lazer-based measurement instrument
must be used to adjust equipment to produce acceptable droplet size
spectra.  Application equipment must be tested at least annually to
confirm that pressure at the nozzle and nozzle flow rate(s) are properly
calibrated.”

“Aerial applications for wide-area mosquito abatement application:

μm) and that 90% of the spray is contained in droplets smaller than 80
microns (Dv 0.9 < 80 μm).  The effects of flight speed, and for
non-rotary nozzles, nozzle angle on the droplet size spectrum must be
considered.   Directions from the equipment manufacturer or vendor,
pesticide registrant or a test facility using a wind tunnel and
laser-based measurement instrument must be used to adjust equipment to
produce acceptable droplet size spectra.  Application equipment must be
tested at least annually to confirm that pressure at the nozzle and
nozzle flow rate(s) are properly calibrated.”  

RELEASE HEIGHT for AERIAL:

“Fixed wing:”

“Apply using a nozzle height of no less than 100 feet above the ground
or canopy.” 

“Rotary wing:”

“Apply using a nozzle height of no less than 75 feet above the ground
or canopy.”

	Directions for Use under Use Restrictions

Spray Drift Label Language for all products labeled for outdoor
applications  to agricultural use sites 	“SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT for
AGRICULTURE CROPS”

“Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of
the applicator and the grower.  The interactions of many equipment and
weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift.  The
applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these
factors when making decisions.”

“Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 10 mph at the application
site.”

“Do not make any type of application into temperature inversions.”

“Apply as a medium or coarser spray (ASABE standard 572).”

“Additional requirements for aerial applications:”

“Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the
ground or crop canopy.”

“The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the
rotor blade diameter.”

“Aerial applicators must consider flight speed and nozzle orientation
in determining droplet size.”

“When applications are made with a cross-wind, the swath will be
displaced downwind.  The applicator must compensate for this
displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting
the path of the aircraft upwind.”

“Additional requirements for ground applications:”

“Do not release spray at a height greater than 4 feet above the ground
or crop canopy.”

“Additional requirements for airblast applications:”

“Direct sprays into the canopy.”

“Turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer
rows.”
