Precautions and Remarks
See label for rotational crop restrictions. Do not exceed 4.8 fl oz per acre
per crop cycle.
Does not control adults. Apply when colonies first appear and before leaf
damage or discoloration. Do not exceed 3 applications per season.
Platinum is for soil application and may be applied to direct-seeded crops
in-furrow at seed or transplant depth, post seeding or transplant as a
drench, or through drip irrigation. Do not exceed 11 fl oz per acre per season
of Platinum. Check label for plant-back restrictions for several crops.
Actara is for foliar application. See label for application restrictions for
protection of pollinators.
Broadcast on soil just before planting and thoroughly work into upper 4 to
8 inches of soil.
Soil application only on cucurbits. May be applied preplant; at planting as
a post-seeding drench, transplant water drench, or hill drench; subsurface
sidedress or by chemigation using low-pressure drip irrigation methods.
Will also control cucumber beetles, thrips and whiteflies.

APHID
Where whitefly resistance is an issue (or any other insect with a high potential for resistance to Group 4A MOA insecticides), avoid making
foliar applications of Group 4A insecticides when a soil-applied Group 4A program is used, i.e., do not make both foliar and soil applications of
Group 4A insecticides. Also, if using a foliar-applied program, avoid using a block of more than three consecutive applications of any products
belonging to Group 4A insecticides.

Apply before aphids reach damaging levels. Do not exceed 5.5 ounces per
acre per season.
See label for rotational crop restrictions. Do not exceed 4.8 fl oz per acre

See label for soil application instructions. For short-term protection of
transplants at planting, apply Admire Pro (0.44 ounces per 10,000 plants)
not more than 7 days before transplanting by (1) uniformly spraying
transplants, followed immediately by sufficient overhead irrigation to wash
product into potting media, or (2) injection into overhead irrigation system
with adequate volume to thoroughly saturate soil media.
