Page No.5 of 9 Notice 15 of 35(Intrepid 2F)Product Information Intrepid(R)2F insecticide belongs to the diacylhydrazine class of insecticides and has a novel mode of action that mimics the action of the molting hormone of lepidopterous(moths,butterflies)larvae.Upon ingestion,larval stages of the order lepidoptera undergo an incomplete and developmentally lethal premature molt.This process interrupts and rapidly halts their feeding.Feeding typically ceases within hours of ingestion,although complete mortality of the larvae may take several days.Affected larvae often become lethargic and often develop discolored areas or bands between segments.Intrepid 2F is a narrow spectrum insecticide that specifically targets Lepidoptera,making it an ideal tool for Integrated Pest Management(IPM).The selectivity of Intrepid 2F allows beneficial insects and other arthropods to function unimpeded in the management of secondary pests while Intrepid 2F provides control of troublesome lepidoptera pests. Notice 16 of 35(Intrepid 2F)Application Timing The activity of Intrepid 2F is expressed primarily through ingestion by the target larvae.Consequently,the timing of application is dependent upon the feeding behavior of the target pest.For cryptic(internal) feeding larvae,application must be made prior to the time that surface feeding occurs,i.e.,just prior to initiation of egg hatch.For foliar or surface feeding larvae,application may be made while active feeding is occurring.Reapplication may be required to protect new flushes of foliage,rapidly expanding fruit,or for extended infestations.The reapplication interval will vary depending upon how rapidly the crop is growing,the generation time of the target pest and the duration of the infestation.Intrepid 2F is effective against all larval instars;however,it is good practice to make applications to early instars to minimize feeding damage.For best results, begin applications when threshold levels of moths,eggs or larvae occur.Consult the Cooperative Extension Service,or other qualified professional authorities,to determine the appropriate threshold and timing for application in your area. Notice 17 of 35(Intrepid 2F)Application Directions Intrepid 2F must be ingested by insect larvae to be fully effective.Applications must be in a manner that assures uniform and thorough coverage.Higher water volume and increased spray pressure generally provide better coverage. Notice 18 of 35(Intrepid 2F)Insecticide Resistance Management Intrepid 2F contains a Group 18 insecticide.Insect/mite biotypes with acquired resistance to Group 18 may eventually dominate the insect/mite population if Group 18 insecticides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species.This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Intrepid 2F or other Group 18 insecticides.To delay development of insecticide resistance,the following practices are recommended:-Avoid consecutive use of insecticides on succeeding generations with the same mode of action(same insecticide group)on the same insect species.-Consider tank mixtures or premix products containing insecticides with different modes of action(different insecticide groups)provided the products are registered for the intended use.- Base insecticide use upon comprehensive IPM programs.-Monitor treated insect populations in the field for loss of effectiveness.- Do not treat seedling plants grown for transplant in greenhouses,shade houses,or field plots.-Contact your local extension specialist,certified crop advisor,and/or manufacturer for insecticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and resistant pest problems.-For further information or to report suspected resistance,you may contact Dow AgroSciences by calling 800-258-3033. Notice 19 of 35(Intrepid 2F)Ground Application:Apply a minimum of 50 gallons per acre by conventional ground equipment to trees 10 feet tall or less.For trees greater than 10 feet tall,use a minimum of 100 gallons per acre.Equipment and spray volume should be calibrated to assure uniform coverage of infested parts of the crop.Aerial Application:Apply a minimum of 10 gallons per acre.This method may result in reduced efficacy if the size of the tree or density of the foliage prohibits thorough,uniform coverage of the entire tree canopy.Restrictions-Preharvest Interval:Do not apply within 7 days of harvest.-Do not apply more than 24 fi oz per acre per application or more than a total of 64 fi oz of Intrepid 2F(1 Ib ai)per acre per year. Notice 20 of 35(Intrepid 2F)Spray Drift Management Adhere to the following buffer zones when applying this product near aquatic habitats(such as lakes,reservoirs,rivers,permanent streams,marshes,or natural ponds;estuaries and commercial fish farm ponds):Application Method Buffer Zone(feet)ground boom 25 overhead chemigation 25 airblast 25 aerial 150 Wind:Only apply this product if the wind direction favors on-target deposition.Do not apply when the wind speed exceeds 10 mph.Temperature Inversions:Do not make ground or aerial applications during a temperature inversion.Temperature inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground.Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas.The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.Droplet Size:Use only medium or coarser spray nozzles(for ground and non-ULV aerial application)according to ASABE (S572.1)definition for standard nozzles.In conditions of low humidity and high temperatures,use a coarser droplet size except where indicated for specific crops.Ground Application To avoid drift and achieve maximum performance of this product,make ground applications when the wind speed favors on-target product depositions(3 to 10 mph).Wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site on the upwind side immediately prior to application.Do not apply when wind speed exceeds 10 mph. For groundboom applications,apply using a nozzle height of no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.Shut off the sprayer when turning at row ends.Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind directions are toward the aquatic area.Airblast Sprayer:When using an airblast sprayer,coverage is also improved by operation of the sprayer at ground speeds that assure that the air volume within the tree canopy is completely replaced by the output from the airblast sprayer.Making applications in an alternate row middle pattern may result in less than satisfactory coverage and poor performance in conditions of high pest infestation levels,extremely large trees and/or dense foliage.For airblast applications,tum off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying the outer two rows.To minimize spray loss over the top in orchard applications,spray must be directed into the canopy.Chemigation Application Intrepid 2F may be applied to cranberries and ornamentals through sprinkler irrigation equipment.Do not apply this product by chemigation unless specified in crop-specific directions in this label or Dow AgroSciences supplemental labeling.General Directions for Chemigation:Apply through a properly calibrated chemigation system that has the appropriate back flow prevention devices.See the Mixing section of the product label for specific mixing and dilution instructions.Apply Intrepid 2F in dedicated chemigation cycles only,not as a part of a regular irrigation cycle.Do not exceed 900 gallons of water per acre application volume using just enough water to thoroughly wet the plants but not the soil.Use minimum volume for flushout to avoid diluting or rinsing off product.Washout time should not exceed six (6)minutes.Set sprinkler heads in a spacing not exceeding 50 feet by 60 feet and adjusted to provide 100%overlap.Apply this product only through solid-set sprinkler systems designed specifically for chemigation.Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.Crop injury,lack of effectiveness,or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.If you have questions about calibration,contact State Extension Service specialists,equipment manufacturers or other experts.Do not connect an irrigation system(including greenhouse systems)used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation,or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.-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.-Chemigation systems connected to public water
