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.


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.

Mixing Directions

Shake well before using. Read and follow all label directions for each tankmix product prior to any tank mixing with TORAC Insecticide. This product can be mixed with other registered pesticides for use on labeled crops or sites in accordance with the most restrictive use directions and precautions. Do not exceed any labeled dose rate.

TORAC Insecticide is physically and biologically compatible with many registered pesticides, fertilizers, or micronu- trients. Contact your supplier for advice when considering mixing TORAC Insecticide with other pesticides, fertil- izers, or micronutrients. If you have no experience with the combination you are considering, you should conduct a test to determine physical compatibility. To determine physical compatibility, add the recommended proportions of each chemical with the same proportion of water as will be present in the chemical supply tank into a suitable container; mix thoroughly and allow to stand for five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be readily remixed, the mixture is considered physically compatible.

  • TORAC Insecticide Alone - Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with 94 of the amount of water needed for the intended application and then turn on agitation. Pour recommended amount of product on the surface of water in the spray tank. Add the remaining water volume to the spray tank with agitation running. Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load.
  • TORAC Insecticide Tank Mixtures - It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with 4 of the amount of water needed for the intended application and turn on agitation. If using a buffering agent, add after filling the tank with 4 amount of water.

Add the recommended amount of tankmix products in the following order while maintaining agitation:

  • Products in water soluble packets
  • Wettable powders
  • Water dispersible granulars and/or soluble powders
  • Flowable liquids
  • Emulsifiable concentrates (including TORAC Insecticide)
  • Adjuvants and/or oils
  • Remaining amount of water to achieve the desired level
