Except where indicated otherwise, this product is not registered for
<br />the control of other armyworm species. Regional differences have
<br />been noted in the susceptibility of certain strains of fall armyworm,
<br />diamondback moth, Colorado potato beetle, Southern green stink
<br />bug, spotted tentiform leafminer, and tobacco budworm (on cot-
<br />ton) to carbaryl. If local experience indicates inadequate control,
<br />use an alternative pesticide.
<br />MIXING, LOADING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS
<br />TO ASSURE A UNIFORM SUSPENSION, AGITATE, STIR OR RE-
<br />CIRCULATE ALL CONTAINERS OF THIS PRODUCT PRIOR TO USE.
<br />Remove oil, rust, scale, pesticide residues and other foreign matter
<br />from mix tanks and entire spray system. Flush with clean water.
<br />Fill spray or mix tank with 1/2 to 3/4 the desired amount of water.
<br />Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Slowly add the required
<br />amount of SEVIN SL Carbaryl Insecticide, and then the remain-
<br />ing volume of water. Include rinse water from container. Prepare
<br />only as much spray mixture as can be applied on the day of mix-
<br />ing. MAINTAIN CONTINUOUS AGITATION DURING MIXING AND
<br />APPLICATION TO ASSURE A UNIFORM SUSPENSION. DO NOT
<br />STORE SPRAY MIXTURE FOR PROLONGED PERIODS OR DEG-
<br />RADATION OF CARBARYL MAY OCCUR. Local water conditions
<br />may also accelerate the degradation of spray mixtures containing
<br />carbaryl. See COMPATIBILITY STATEMENT below.
<br />COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION
<br />SEVIN SL Carbaryl Insecticide, when diluted with at least an equal
<br />volume of water, is compatible with a wide range of pesticides. It
<br />is not compatible with diesel fuel, kerosene, fuel oil or aromatic
<br />solvents. If compatibility with another product and the resulting
<br />crop response is unknown, the mixture should be tested on a small
<br />scale. Curdling, precipitation, greasing, layer formation or in-
<br />creased viscosity are symptoms of incompatibility. Incompatibility
<br />will reduce insect control and may cause application and handling
<br />difficulties or plant injury. Observe all cautions and limitations
<br />on labeling of all products used in mixtures. WHEN PREPAR-
<br />ING COMBINATION SPRAYS, FIRST ADD SEVIN SL CARBARYL
<br />INSECTICIDE TO AT LEAST AN EQUAL VOLUME OF WATER, MIX
<br />THOROUGHLY, AND THEN ADD COMBINATION PRODUCTS TO
<br />THE MIXTURE. DO NOT APPLY TANK MIX COMBINATIONS UN-
<br />LESS YOUR PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE INDICATES THE MIXTURE IS
<br />EFFECTIVE AND WILL NOT RESULT IN APPLICATION PROBLEMS
<br />OR PLANT INJURY.
<br />Carbaryl is unstable under highly alkaline conditions and mixtures
<br />with strong bases, such as Bordeaux, lime -sulfur and casein -lime
<br />spreaders, will result in chemical degradation of the insecticide.
<br />Do not use this product in water with pH values above 8.0 unless a
<br />buffer is added. If necessary, water should be buffered to neutral
<br />(pH = 7.0) before adding this product to the spray tank. Overhead
<br />irrigation with alkaline or muddy water after application will also
<br />accelerate chemical degradation and may result in reduced insect
<br />control.
<br />APPLICATION PROCEDURES AND PRECAUTIONS
<br />On all crops use sufficient gallonage to obtain thorough and uni-
<br />form coverage. Observe crop label instructions for specific direc-
<br />tions regarding spray volume where they occur. Calibrate spray
<br />equipment to deliver the required volume. If you should have
<br />questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension
<br />Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
<br />NOTE: When treatment with SEVIN SL has been completed, fur-
<br />ther irrigation over the treated area should be avoided for 24 to 48
<br />hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop.
<br />SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
<br />Apply this product through sprinkler irrigation systems including
<br />center pivot and solid set. Do not apply this product through any
<br />other type of irrigation system.
<br />GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS THROUGH SPRIN-
<br />KLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
<br />Maintain continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and appli-
<br />cation to assure a uniform suspension.
<br />Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved by
<br />injecting a larger volume of a more dilute solution per unit time.
<br />The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief
<br />valve, and low-pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation
<br />pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow. The
<br />pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally
<br />closed solenoid -operated valve located on the intake side of the
<br />injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent
<br />fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation
<br />system is either automatically or manually shutdown. The system
<br />must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut
<br />off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
<br />The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pres-
<br />sure switch that will stop the water pump motor when the water
<br />pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is
<br />adversely affected. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a
<br />positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) ef-
<br />fectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible
<br />with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
<br />Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area in-
<br />tended for treatment.
<br />Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connec-
<br />tion or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide uniform distribu-
<br />tion or when lines containing the product must be dismantled and
<br />drained.
<br />Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the
<br />crop may result from nonuniform distribution of treated water.
<br />Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines
<br />and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. A person knowl-
<br />edgable of the chemigation system and responsible for its opera-
<br />tion shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments
<br />should the need arise.
<br />Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse sys-
<br />tems) used for pesticide application to a public water system un-
<br />less the label -prescribed safety devices for public water supplies
<br />are in place.
