TOBACCO (Soil Application)
PESTS CONTROLLED Fluid ounces per 1,000 plants (as seeding tray drench) Fluid ounces per 1,000 plants (in-furrow or transplant-water) APPLICATIONS Aphids Flea beetles 1.0 1.4 Apply specified dosage of Macho® 2.0 FL in one of the following methods:
1. Broadcast foliar spray to seedlings in trays (tray drench) not more than 7 days prior to transplanting. Follow as soon as possible with overhead irrigation to wash Macho® 2.0 FL from foliage into potting media. Failure to wash Macho® 2.0 FL from foliage may result in a reduction in pest control. Handle transplants carefully during setting to avoid dislodging treated potting media from roots.
2. In-furrow spray or transplant-water drench during setting.
3. Chemigation into root-zone through low-pressure drip, trickle, micro-sprinkler or equivalent equipment.
Note: Proper drench applications to plants in trays with Macho® 2.0 FL are generally the best method of application. However, the specified rate of Macho® 2.0 FL may be applied as combination of the tray drench in the planthouse and/or transplant-water drench in field. Adverse growing conditions may cause a delay in uptake of Macho® 2.0 FL into the plant and a delay in control.

3.2 - Soil Application Instructions
For Soil Application, direct applications of Macho® 2.0 FL into the seed or root-zone of crop. Lack of correct application of Mach® 2.0 FL into seed or root-zone could result in lessened or delayed efficacy. Macho® 2.0 FL may be applied with directed ground or chemigation application. Do not apply with aerial application equipment. Only use broadcast, foliar applications to seedling flats or trays, or where product is intended to be washed from foliage to soil prior to drying on foliage. Best results of Macho® 2.0 FL application are achieved when applications are made to the root-zone of plants. Earlier application of Macho® 2.0 FL to developing plants results in earlier protection. Macho® 2.0 FL is a systemic insecticide and moves from the plant’s root system to the upper vegetative parts via the xylem tissue. This movement results in extended activity of Macho® 2.0 FL, to control insects that can vector detrimental virus transmission. Use the higher specified rate when insect pressure occurs later in the plants development cycle or when insect pressure is heavy and/or continuous. Despite the systemic nature of Macho® 2.0 FL, it usually does not control insects that infest flowers, blooms or fruit. Insects attacking these parts of a plant generally require a foliar type insecticide application. More specific Macho® 2.0 FL application instructions are provided in the crop-specific sections of the product label. Suppression, or less than complete control of certain diseases and insect pests including reduced feeding may also result from a Macho® 2.0 FL application. Residual control of these pests/diseases may require supplemental control measures. Macho® 2.0 FL use on crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting is not allowed except under State specific 24(c) labeling. Contact your local Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants or local Albaugh LLC representative for application on these type crops. Pre-mix Macho® 2.0 FL water or other appropriate diluents prior to application. Maintain constant agitation to avoid settling.
SOIL APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS
• Do not apply more than 0.50 lbs active ingredient per acre, per year, regardless of formulation or method of application, unless specified within a crop-specific, Applications section of the product label for a given crop.
• Do not make soil applications with aerial equipment.
- Foliar Application Instructions
For foliar applications, thorough coverage of foliage without runoff is required for maximum insecticidal efficacy. Use of adequate spray volumes and correctly calibrated application equipment is critical. Use of a spray adjuvant may enhance thorough coverage. Lack of adequate coverage and retention of Macho® 2.0 FL on foliage and fruit can delay or lessen insect control. Macho® 2.0 FL may be applied with ground or aerial application equipment that has been properly calibrated.
Minimum rate spray volumes (unless otherwise specified on crop sections) are:
• 10 gallons/Acre by ground application equipment.
• 5 gallons/Acre through aerial equipment.
Macho® 2.0 FL may also be applied by overhead chemigation (see CHEMIGATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE section on the product label) if allowed in crop specific application section. Macho® 2.0 FL application to crops grown for production of true seed intended for private or commercial planting may be allowed under State specific 24(c) labeling. Additional information on Macho® 2.0 FL uses for these crops and other questions may be obtained from the Cooperative Extension Service, PCAs, consultants or local Albaugh LLC representatives.
FOLIAR APPLICATION RESTRICTIONS
• DO NOT apply foliar applications of Macho® 2.0 FL in Enclosed Structures Such as Greenhouses or Planthouses.
• Do not exceed application of more than 0.5 Ibs. active ingredient per acre, per year, regardless of formulation or method of application, unless specified within a crop specific rate applications section for a given crop on the product label.
- 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. See individual crops for specific pollinator protection application restrictions. If none exist under the specific crop, for foliar applications, follow these application directions for crops that are contracted to have pollinator services or for food/feed and commercially grown ornamentals that are attractive to pollinators:
1.FOR CROPS UNDER CONTRACTED POLLINATION SERVICES
Do not apply this product while bees are foraging. Do not apply this product until flowering is complete and all petals have fallen unless the following condition has been met:
- If an application must be made when managed bees are at the treatment site, the beekeeper providing the pollination services must be notified no less than 48 hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying.
2.FOR FOOD CROPS AND COMMERCIALLY GROWN ORNAMENTALS NOT UNDER CONTRACT FOR POLLINATION SERVICES BUT ARE ATTRACTIVE TO POLLINATORS
Do not apply this product while bees are foraging. Do not apply this product until flowering is complete and all petals have fallen unless one of the following conditions is met:
- The application is made to the target site after sunset © The application is made to the target site when temperatures are below 55°F
- The application is made in accordance with a government-initiated public health response
- The application is made in accordance with an active state-administered apiary registry program where beekeepers are notified no less than 48-hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying
- The application is made due to an imminent threat of significant crop loss, and a documented determination consistent with an IPM plan or predetermined economic threshold is met. Every effort should be made to notify beekeepers no less than 48-hours prior to the time of the planned application so that the bees can be removed, covered or otherwise protected prior to spraying.
