Purpose & Scope
Information on this website about Plant Protection Products (PPP) – including bio-insecticides, bio-fungicides, pheromones, traps, and related technologies – is provided for educational and marketing purposes only. It does not replace or supersede any product label, Safety Data Sheet (SDS), or applicable law. In the event of any conflict or ambiguity, the product label governs.
Label & Legal Use
- Always read and follow label directions. The label is the law.
- Use only for labeled crops, pests, rates, application methods, and intervals.
- Observe all Preharvest Intervals (PHI), Restricted-Entry Intervals (REI), and maximum application limits.
- Follow all federal, state, and local regulations (including U.S. EPA requirements under FIFRA). State registrations and permitted uses may vary; verify approval in your state before purchase or use.
- Buyers and users assume responsibility for compliance with all applicable laws and for determining suitability for their intended use.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Always wear PPE as required by the label and SDS (e.g., protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, eye/face protection, and respirator if specified).
- Ensure proper fit, inspection, decontamination, and storage of PPE. Replace damaged PPE immediately.
Mixing, Loading & Application Stewardship
- Follow label instructions for mixing order, agitation, water quality, pH, and compatibility; perform a jar test before tank-mixing.
- Use calibrated equipment; avoid drift and off-target exposure. Observe buffer zones, wind/speed restrictions, spray droplet size, and no-spray setbacks.
- Follow label requirements and best practices to protect pollinators and beneficial organisms (e.g., timing, bloom restrictions, bee advisories).
- Do not contaminate water during mixing, application, cleaning, or disposal. Observe requirements for Surface Water/Runoff, Groundwater, and Endangered Species protection as specified on the label.
Reentry, Restricted Areas & Worker Safety
- Comply with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) where applicable.
- Respect all REI and signage requirements; do not enter treated areas without required PPE before REI expiration.
Storage, Spills & Disposal
- Store in original containers with labels intact, in a cool, dry, secure, and ventilated area as specified on the label.
- Manage spills per label and SDS instructions; contain and clean using appropriate PPE.
- Dispose of product, tank rinsate, and containers according to the label and local regulations. Never reuse empty PPP containers.
Health, First Aid & Emergency
- Review the First Aid and Hazard sections of the label and SDS prior to use.
- In case of exposure or suspected poisoning, follow label first aid and call Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222 (U.S.). In emergencies, dial 911.
- Seek medical attention immediately and provide the product name and EPA Reg. No.
Resistance Management & IPM
- Implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM): monitoring, thresholds, cultural/biological controls, and rotation.
- Follow label IRAC/FRAC resistance-management directions, including mode-of-action rotation and application limits.
Organic & Certifications
- Organic status or certifications (e.g., OMRI Listed®) are product-specific and may require compliance with National Organic Program (NOP) rules and any conditions stated by the certifier. Verify current status before use.
Performance, Warranty & Limitation of Liability
- Performance can vary due to crop, pest pressure, environment, timing, and application practices. No warranty, express or implied, is made beyond any statements on the product label.
- To the maximum extent permitted by law, no liability is assumed for incidental or consequential damages arising from use inconsistent with the label, SDS, or this notice.
