Features & Benefits
- Product Information
DIAMOND must be ingested and/or contacted by insects to be effective. Proper application techniques help ensure thorough spray coverage and correct dosage necessary to obtain optimum control. Apply at the required rates when insect populations reach locally determined economic thresholds. Consult the cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate threshold levels for treatment in your area.
Apply follow-up treatments of DIAMOND per DIRECTIONS FOR USE, to keep pest populations within threshold limits. Scout fields regularly to determine optimum application timing based on pest levels and stages of growth. The primary mode of action is by disrupting cuticle formation and deposition occurring when insects molt, resulting in their death. Due to this mode of action, DIAMOND has no direct effect on adults.
Note: The compatibility of DIAMOND with concurrent releases of insects for biocontrol of plant pests has not been established. When used as directed, DIAMOND affects developing immature stages of insects by disrupting the molting process. Consequently, fully developed adult stages of pest and beneficial species are not affected.
Rotational Crops: Only registered crops may be rotated in a treated field within 30 days of the final application.

- Application Procedures
Prepare solution concentrations in a clean, empty spray tank. Use clean spray filters. Add water to 1/2 level of tank. Add the appropriate amount of DIAMOND to the tank and agitate to ensure proper mixture. Continue filling tank with water until desired dilution is achieved. Shake or re-agitate material in the sprayer before use if application is interrupted. Make up only the amount of application volume as required.
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. For those crops where an adjuvant can be used, ADAMA suggests the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant.
SPRAY COVERAGE
All parts of the crop must receive uniform spray coverage or else desired result may not occur. Higher water volumes and increased spray pressure generally provide better coverage. Consult your local agricultural specialist for specific information on the best rates, timings, and spray volumes for your region.
ORCHARD APPLICATION
Make applications of DIAMOND by conventional orchard sprayers that are calibrated to deliver 50 to 400 gallons of carrier to the trees. Apply at a carrier volume that ensures complete coverage to trees. Operate spray equipment at proper ground speeds, adequate spray pressures and spray volumes that assure that the air volume within the tree canopy is completely replaced by the output from the air-blast sprayer resulting in proper coverage of the target crop. Do not use DIAMOND in alternate row middle application patterns since this method will result in off-timing application and poor performance.
GROUND APPLICATION
Apply required dosage by conventional ground sprayer equipment capable of delivering sufficient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage of the target crop. Orient spray equipment boom and nozzles in a manner to minimize boom height to optimize coverage uniformity, maximize deposition and reduce spray drift. Drop nozzles may be required to obtain uniform coverage against certain pests that develop down in the canopy. Use a minimum spray volume of 5 gallons per acre with ground spray equipment in cotton. Use a minimum of 10 gallons per acre in potatoes and vegetables. Higher gallonages will provide better coverage and performance. Use hollow cone, disk-core hollow cone or twin jet fan nozzles suitable for insecticide spraying.
AERIAL APPLICATION
For aerial application apply in a total of 2 to 10 gallons per acre using a nozzle configuration that will provide a median droplet size of 200-300 microns. Use a minimum of 5 gallons of water per acre for potatoes. Higher gallonages will provide better coverage and performance. Adhere to the minimum safe application height – not greater than 12 feet above crop canopy. Boom length must be less than 75% of wing span and swath markers. Use flagging or GPS system during application. Make applications when wind speed is between 2 and 10 mph. Do not make applications when wind speed exceeds 10 mph. Under low humidity and high temperatures, adjust spray volume upward to compensate for evaporation of spray droplets.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Environmental Hazard
This pesticide is toxic to freshwater and estuarine/marine invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters or rinsate. This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a potential for runoff for several days to weeks after application. Poorly draining soil with shallow water tables is more prone to produce runoff. A level, well maintained vegetative (grass) buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and the 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. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface water contamination. Pollinator Advisory: Because of its mode of action as an insect growth regulator, and since it is not systemic, DIAMOND® has the potential to impact larval bees (i.e., brood). In order to minimize the possibility of effects to honeybee brood, do not use DIAMOND on blooming crops when bees are actively foraging.
Safety & Health
- User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
- Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet.
- Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
- Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
Storage & Handling
- Storage And Disposal
DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal. Open dumping is prohibited.
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store in a clean, dry location. Keep above freezing.
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Wastes resulting from the use of this product may be disposed of on-site or at an approved waste disposal facility.
CONTAINER DISPOSAL:
Nonrefillable Container (five gallons or less): Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. Clean container promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1/4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling, if available or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or other procedures allowed by State and local authorities.
Nonrefillable Container (greater than five gallons): Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. Clean container promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank. Fill the container 1/4 full with water. Replace and tighten closures. Tip container on its side and roll it back and forth, ensuring at least one complete revolution, for 30 seconds. Stand the container on its end and tip it back and forth several times. Turn the container over onto its other end and tip it back and forth several times. Empty the rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling, if available or reconditioning, or puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by other procedures allowed by State and local authorities.
