Description:

USE ON GROWING CROPS USED ALONE: Pyronyl Crop Spray is designed for use on minor crops and as a pre-harvest spray when other materials cannot be used due to pre-harvest interval restrictions. Pyronyl Crop Spray may be used up to and including the day of harvest. Apply up to 0.05 pounds of pyrethrins per acre and repeat as required to maintain effective control. Use the calibration chart listed below to calculate the desired application rate. Use in sufficient water for thorough coverage of upper and lower leaf surfaces.

USED INDOOR ON TREES, SHRUBS, FLOWERS AND FOLIAGE PLANTS USED ALONE: Combine 12 to 24 ounces of Pyronyl Crop Spray with 100 gallons of water for applications with conventional hydraulic sprayers or 1 to 2 teaspoons of Pyronyl Crop Spray per gallon of water for applications with compressed air sprayers.

USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER INSECTICIDES: To provide quick knockdown of insects when used with a residual insecticide, tank-mix 1 to 4 ounces of Pyronyl Crop Spray with the proper amount of companion insecticide in 100 gallons of water and apply with a conventional hydraulic sprayer. Applications must be made in accordance with the more restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label application rates may be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product with label prohibitions against such mixing.

USE ON TURF AND GRASS USED ALONE: To control ants, armyworms, billbugs, chinch bugs, chiggers, crickets, cutworms, earwigs, fleas, grasshoppers, Hyperodes weevils (adults), Japanese beetles (adults), mole crickets, sod webworms and ticks, dilute and apply.

USED IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER INSECTICIDES: To provide quick knockdown of insects when used with a residual insecticide, tank-mix Pyronyl Crop Spray with the proper amount of companion insecticide and apply at the rates listed above. Applications must be made in accordance with the more restrictive of label limitations and precautions. No label application rates may be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product with label prohibitions against such mixing.

USED AS A TURF PEST DIAGNOSTIC AID: To detect turf insects prior to making an insecticide application or to evaluate control from previous treatments, dilute one tablespoon of Pyronyl Crop Spray per gallon of water and apply evenly with a sprinkling can over one square yard of turf. Record the species and number of insects present ten minutes after application. Sample 3 to 5 sites per 5,000 square feet. Note: this procedure does not bring white grubs or billbug grubs to the surface. Use other methods to sample for these pests.

DIRECT SPRAY TO FRUITS IN BASKETS, ON TRUCKS OR IN PROCESSING PLANTS: To control vinegar flies and fruit flies, dilute 1 part Pyronyl Crop Spray with 1200 parts of water (1 pints per 150 gallons or 1 teaspoon per 12.5 pints of water). Thoroughly mix the emulsion in the spray tank and apply at high pressure at the rate of 2.5 to 3 pints of the diluted spray per ton of fruit. Direct the spray for maximum coverage of the baskets or hampers. It is important to spray between and beneath the containers.

TO CONTROL STORED PRODUCT INSECTS INCLUDING, but not limited to, almond moths, Angoumois grain moths, cadelles, cigarette beetles, confused flour beetles, drugstore beetles, flat grain beetles, granary weevils, Indianmeal moths, lesser grain borers, maize weevils, Mediterranean flour moths, merchant grain beetles, red flour beetles, rice weevils, rusty grain beetles, sawtoothed grain beetles and squarenecked grain beetles, dilute at the rate of 1 part Pyronyl Crop Spray with 29 parts water (1 pint with 3 gallons 5 pints water).

Apply at weekly intervals for about 6 weeks and then at 15 day intervals. The first two applications should be applied at the rate of 2 gallons per 1000 square feet.

STORAGE SITES: To treat grain and seed storage sites, warehouse bins, trucks, cargo ships and planes prior to filling with grain or seed, the site should be thoroughly cleaned by sweeping out the waste, cobwebs and other debris on the walls and rafters as well as on the floor and about the door frames, paying special attention to the material lodged in the cracks and crevices. These accumulations should be removed and burned to kill eggs and insects that might be present. In mills and elevators, particular attention should be given to the bin hoppers to remove all grain infested accumulations. Conveying equipment should also be made clean and free of trash deposits that could maintain an infestation. For farms, specific attention should be given to cleaning up and around the used feed and grain bags, grain residues from wagons, harvesting equipment and feed troughs. Newly harvested grain should not be placed in the same bin with carry-over grain and all carry-over grain stocks not treated with grain protectant should be fumigated. These cleaning operations should be done within two or three weeks before harvest. To treat the storage site prior to using it for storage, dilute 1 part of Pyronyl Crop Spray with 59 parts of water (1 pint with 7 gallons 3 pints of water) and apply to walls, floors, ceilings and partition boards at the rate of one gallon per 750 sq. feet. It is important to thoroughly treat all cracks and crevices.

SPACE SPRAY ON STORED SWEET POTATOES: To control vinegar flies and fruit flies, dilute 1 part Pyronyl Crop Spray with 19 parts of water (6.4 fluid ounces per gallon) and apply at the rate of 1 gallon per 100,000 cubic feet. Apply only when flying insects are present. Several applications may be necessary during periods of heavy infestation, but do not make more than 10 applications.

CHEMIGATION SYSTEM CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS

1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year.

2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduce-pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line, upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

4. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump, and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.

5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

8. Agitation is recommended in the pesticide supply tank if the product is diluted in that tank prior to injection into the irrigation system.

FLOOD (BASIN), FURROW AND BORDER CHEMIGATION

1. Systems using a gravity flow pesticide dispensing system must meter the pesticide into the water at the head of the field and downstream of a hydraulic discontinuity such as a drop structure of weir box to decrease potential for water source contamination from backflow if water flow stops.

2. Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following requirements:

3. Agitation is recommended in the pesticide supply tank if the product is diluted in that tank prior to injection into the irrigation system.

4. Follow product dilution guidelines as shown in the "CALIBRATION CHART" in the product labeling to determine proper dilution rates for control of target insects.

DRIP (TRICKLE) IRRIGATION

1. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.

2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.

4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.

5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure

switch, which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

6. Systems must use a metering pump such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

7. Agitation is recommended in the pesticide supply tank if the product is diluted in that tank prior to injection into the irrigation system.
