satisfactorily mixed with captan, carbaryl, diazinon, dodine, azinphos methyl, dicofol, malathion, parathion, pyrethroids, thiram and zineb. Because uniform dispersibility and sprayability may be influenced by pesticide combinations used, it is recommended that compatibility be determined before adding pesticides to the spray tank.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

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 when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Dimethoate is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
In a pint or quart jar, mix products and water proportionate to the intended tank mix. If there is any separation, we recommend that the combination not be used. The addition of a non-ionic, general purpose spreader-activator will usually eliminate any incompatibility noted. For proper mixing, spray tank should be at least three-fourths filled with water before adding this product. Add tank-mixing products in the following order: water-soluble bags, wettable powders, dry flowables, liquid flowables, emulsifiable concentrates, and other soluble materials such as fertilizers. When tank mixing, allow water-soluble bags and soluble fertilizers to dissolve first before adding this product. Mechanical agitation or recirculation through pump bypass to tank is usually sufficient for maintaining a good dispersion. This product should not be tank-mixed with other pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers, unless prior use has shown the combination non-injurious under your conditions of use. Follow precautionary statements and directions for all tank-mix products. Spray tank mixes of this product with alkaline insecticides, fungicides, miticides and fertilizers should be applied promptly; however, alkaline materials such as Bordeaux mixture and lime should not be used. Tank mixing must be done in accordance with the more (most) restrictive of label limitations and use precautions for all products to be mixed. Do not exceed the maximum dosage rate indicated for any pesticide included in the tank mix. This product may not be mixed with any product containing a label prohibiting such mixing.

PHYTOTOXICITY STATEMENT: As is common with most emulsifiable

concentrate formulations, adverse effects such as spotting or discoloration of the fruit or foliage can occur. Some conditions known to contribute to phytotoxicity include, but are not limited to: high temperatures, poor spray drying conditions, excessive spray deposit or runoff, certain spray mixtures, stage of crop development or tank mixes with other pesticides. ODOR: Dimethoate formulations may produce a distinctive odor during the spray operation, but under normal conditions this odor does not persist.
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high potential for runoff for several days after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. A vegetative filter strip constructed and maintained in accordance with the 2000 Natural Resources Conservation Service publication “Conservation Buffers to Reduce Pesticide Losses” (http://www.nrcs.usda.gov/feature/buffers/) will significantly re- duce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. This pesticide is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or residues on blooming crops or weeds. Do not apply this product or allow it to drift to blooming crops or weeds if bees are visiting the treatment area.

PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS

Combustible. Do not use, pour, spill or store near heat or open flame. Do not use this product in or on electrical equipment due to possibility of shock hazard.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT GROUP 1B INSECTICIDE

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), restricted entry interval and notification to workers. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the WPS. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI). PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the WPS and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or water is: Coveralls worn over longsleeve shirt and long pants, chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, and chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposure.
DIMETHOATE 4EC contains a Group 1B insecticide or acaricide. Insect/mite biotypes with acquired resistance to Group 1B may eventually dominate the insect/mite population if Group 1B insecticides or acaricides 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 this product or other Group 1B insecticides or acaricides. To delay insecticide or acaricide resistance, consider: • Avoiding the consecutive use of this product or other Group 1B insecticides/acaricides that have similar target site of action on the same insect/mite species.
• Using tank mixtures or premixes with insecticides/acaricides from a different target site action Group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same use and have different sites of action.
• Basing insecticide/acaricide use on a comprehensive IPM program. • Monitoring treated insect/mite populations for loss of field efficacy. • Contacting your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or manufacturer for insecticide/acaricide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for specific site and resistant pest problems.
Double Notification: Notify workers of the application by warning them orally and by posting warning signs at entrances to treated area.

METHODS OF APPLICATION

This product is intended for use in conventional hydraulic sprayers, ground applicators or aerial sprayers. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift of spray from treated areas. Repeat applications as necessary unless otherwise specified. Consult your State Experiment Station or State Extension Service for proper timing of application. The use of a drift retardant agent cleared for food use is recommended when applying this product by air or ground.
BEFORE USING, READ WARNING STATEMENTS ON CONTAINER LABEL.

APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS

This product is for use in commercial settings only. Use in residential settings is prohibited. DO NOT use on crops grown in greenhouses.

DIMETHOATE 4EC Page 2 of 11
Orchard Application – Apply equivalent per acre rates in 20 to 100 gallons of water per acre unless otherwise stated. Special concentrate equipment is necessary for these uses.

High Pressure Handwand Equipment – When applications are

made by high pressure handwand equipment, the maximum application rate for all crops and use patterns is 0.0025 pound active ingredient (0.08 fl. oz. of this product) per gallon. Air Application – Unless otherwise stated, apply at least one gallon of finished spray per acre; apply at least 5 gallons of finished spray per acre in CA. For aerial applications to orchards, use equivalent per acre rate in not less than 10 gallons of water per acre. Do not use air application on Pecans. Automatic flagging devices should be used whenever feasible.

REQUIREMENTS FOR REDUCING SPRAY DRIFT

Do not apply under circumstances where possible drift to unprotected persons or to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur. 1. Use the largest droplet size consistent with acceptable efficacy. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure. For groundboom and aerial applications, use medium or coarser spray nozzles according to ASABE 572 definition for standard nozzles or a volume mean diameter (VMD) of 300 microns or greater for spinning atomizer nozzles.
2. Make aerial or ground applications when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition. Apply only when the wind speed is less than or equal to 10 mph. For all non-aerial applications, wind speed must be measured adjacent to the application site on the upwind side, immediately prior to application.
3. Do not make aerial or ground applications into areas of temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with increasing distance above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. Where permissible by local regulations, the applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
4. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.
5. All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
6. For groundboom applications, apply with nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
7. For airblast applications, turn 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.
8. For aerial applications, release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. If the application includes an aquatic buffer zone, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
9. For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used and must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of rotor blade diameter. Use upwind swath displacement.
Mix, in a clean supply tank, the specified amount of this product and any tank-mixing products per acreage to be covered and needed quantity of water. On all crops, use sufficient gallonage of water to obtain thorough and uniform coverage, but not cause runoff or excessive leaching. This will vary depending on equipment, pest problem and state of crop growth. Application of more or less than optimal quantity of water may result in decreased chemical performance, crop injury or illegal pesticide residues. Meter this product into the irrigation water uniformly during the period of operation. Do not overlap application. Follow specified label rates, application timing, and other directions and use precautions for crop being treated. Continuous mild agitation of pesticide mixture may be needed to assure uniform application, particularly if the supply tank requires a number of hours to empty.

CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS

Note: Drexel Chemical Company does not encourage connecting chemigation systems to public water supplies. The following information is provided for users who have diligently considered all other application and water supply options before electing to make such a connection. 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 systems must contain a functional, reducedpressure 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. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of the fluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must 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. 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. 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. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

SPRINKLER CHEMIGATION (FOLIAR SPRAY USES)

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. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 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. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 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. 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. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Beane Freeman9 and Dale P. Sandler1 Organophosphorous insecticides (OPs) are the most commonly used insecticides in US agriculture, but little information is available regarding specific OP use by individual farmers. We describe OP use for licensed private pesticide applicators from Iowa and North Carolina in the Agricultural Health Study (AHS) using lifetime pesticide use data from 701 randomly selected male participants collected at three time periods. Of 27 OPs studied, 20 were used by 41%. Overall, 95% had ever applied at least one OP. The median number of different OPs used was 4 (maximum ¼ 13). Malathion was the most commonly used OP (74%) followed by chlorpyrifos (54%). OP use declined over time. At the first interview (1993--1997), 68% of participants had applied OPs in the past year; by the last interview (2005--2007), only 42% had. Similarly, median annual application days of OPs declined from 13.5 to 6 days. Although OP use was common, the specific OPs used varied by state, time period, and individual. Much of the variability in OP use was associated with the choice of OP, rather than the frequency or duration of application.

Russo2* 1 DIPIA, INAIL (ex-ISPESL), via Urbana 167, 00184 Rome, Italy 2 Faculty of Agriculture, University of Molise, via De Sanctis, Campobasso, Italy ABSTRACT Although pesticides are widely used in agriculture, they and in particular the relative residues in foodstuffs, water and atmosphere, may cause remarkable sanitary problems due to the harmful effects (carcinogenic and mutagenic effects) on the human health. In fact, their spread in waters and atmosphere can produce undesired effects on various organisms and/or water contamination. This paper shows an analytical approach based on XAD-2 adsorbent and GC analysis for evaluating the pesticide trend in atmosphere: in particular, the pesticides investigated are omethoate, dicrotofos, disulfoton, dimethoate, parathion methyl, formothion, paraoxon ethyl, malaoxon, parathion ethyl, iodofenfos and triazofos. For the analytical methodology a linearity response was obtained (r2 = 0.9988) in GC-NPD whereas the limits of detection range between 2 and 5 pg/μL in GC-NPD with a Relative Standard Deviation below 9.5. Finally, this approach has been successfully applied to real samples: the results show that dimethoate concentration decreases with increasing distance from the sampling site but it is still persistent in atmosphere after few days from the pesticide spraying.

A case of dimethoate poisoning requiring prolonged skin decontamination. Toxicol Forensic Med Open J. 2020; 5(1): 11-15. doi: 10.17140/TFMOJ-5-132 ABSTRACT Background Decontamination is a critical medical counter measure in reducing toxic exposure following poisoning. Little is known on the effectiveness of this procedure and its impact in the context of preventing secondary exposure of healthcare workers and sec- ondary contamination of facilities. Presented here is a case of dimethoate poisoning that required a prolonged period of skin decontamination to remove residual skin contamination. Case Report A young gardener consumed dimethoate at the workplace witnessed by a colleague who called the emergency services immedi- ately. Paramedics noted the patient to be drowsy with stable vital signs and 100% oxygen saturation. En-route to the hospital the patient vomited multiple times and was drenched in vomitus with a pungent odour. Upon arrival at the emergency department (ED), vital signs remained stable with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 10. Due to gross external contamination from the vomitus and pungent odours emanating suggestive of chemical fumes off-gassing, the hospital decontamination shower was activated for patient decontamination.

BOX 245, BERKELEY, CALIFORNIA 94701 Experiment St ation CONTACT TOXICITY OF 40 INSECTICIDES TESTED ON PANDORA MOTH LARVAE Robert L. Lyon The pandora moth (Coloradia pandora Blake)' defoliates principally ponderosa (Pinus ponderosa Laws.), Jeffrey (P. jeffreyi Grev. and Balf.), and lodgepole (P. contorta Dougl.) pines in the Western United States. Damage is periodically severe. Defolia- USDA Forest Service tion by this insect can kill a tree directly, or Research Iote PSW-235 indirectly as a result of subsequent attacks by bark beetles.* To date, no insecticide has been developed 1971 for control of the pandora moth, and no laboratory research on this subject has been reported in the literature. As part of an investigation in evaluating chemicals for control of forest insects, 40 insecticides and an antifeeding compound were tested in the laboratory on pandora moth larvae in the second and third instars. Pyrethrins were the most toxic. This insecti- cide showed promise as an especially good candidate for field testing. METHODS Test Insects Pandora moth larvae overwinter on their host tree ABSTRACT: Forty insecticides and an antifeeding compound were tested on pandora moth larvae at the base of the needles mostly as second and third (Coloradia pandora Blake) in the second and third instars. Hibernating larvae were collected during instars. A total of 21 insecticides were more toxic at winter near Chemult, O~egon.~They were trans- LDgO than DDT, providing a good choice of candi- ported to the laboratory on ponderosa pine foliage in dates for field testing.
