2 NOTICE TO USER: This pest control product is to be used only in accordance with the directions on the label. It is an offence under the Pest Control Products Act to use this product in a way that is inconsistent with the directions on the label. The user assumes the risk to persons or property that arises from any such use of this product. DIRECTIONS FOR USE POUNCE EC is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide of low mammalian toxicity. It is a stomach and contact insecticide with no systemic or fumigant effect. Therefore, it is very important to obtain excellent spray coverage. RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS CROP PEST m L per 1000 Litres Cabbage Cabbage looper Cauliflower Broccoli Brussels Sprouts Sweet Corn Imported cabbage worm Diamond back moth larvae European corn borer Corn earworm ml p er Hectare REMARKS Apply specified dosage in 400 to 650 litres of water per hectare on a 7 to 10 day schedule, when insects or insect damage first appears. For severe infestations, use 175 ml per hectare. May be applied up to 3 days before harvest of cabbage, cauliflower and brussels sprouts and up to 7 days before harvest of broccoli. Apply specified dosage in 350 to 450 litres of water per hectare, using a boom and nozzle arrangement that ensures thorough spray coverage. Use the higher rate when severe insect pressure is anticipated. Spray not later than when first feeding is seen on the foliage. For second brood borers in late plantings, apply before tassels show. For control of corn earworm, direct the spray to ensure coverage of ears and silks. For the number and timing of repeat applications, follow the customary spray schedule in your region. Consult the provincial spray calendar. POUNCE EC may be applied up to 1 day before harvest. Cereals Pale Western

Apply 180 ml/ha of product to control this insect attacking seedlings up to the 5 leaf stage. Under dry soil conditions or where cutworms are large (2.5-4 cm) use ml/ha of product. Applications should be made under warm, moist conditions in the evening or at night when cutworm activity is highest. Do not disturb the soil surface for 5 days after treatment. POUNCE EC will only control surface feeding or climbing stages of cutworms. Do not apply within 15 meters of productive fisheries water or waterfowl habitats. Do not apply to seedlings of the crops specified here when they are larger than the 5-leaf stage. Greenhouse Whitefly Greenhouse Whitefly Potato beetle Potato flea Apply to thoroughly cover all foliage. Repeat as necessary. May be applied up to the day before harvest Apply to cover all foliage thoroughly. Repeat as necessary. Do not apply to food crops. Avoid spraying open blooms Apply in sufficient water for thorough coverage. Use the higher rate for heavy

4 Tobacco (Field) Tobacco-Cover Crop Treatment Tobacco-Soil Treatment Tobacco-Post Transplanting Treatment Tomato (Greenhouse) Farm Buildings: Beef barns, Dairy barns, beetle Potato leafhopper Tarnished plant bug Darksided cutworm White cutworm Greenhouse Whitefly House fly Stable fly infestations. Repeat as necessary. May be applied up to the day before harvest. Make applications as outlined below using a total spray volume of litres per hectare using nozzle pressure of kpa. Cutworm activity is greatest during the late evening and night. Application of POUNCE EC should be timed as close as possible to insect feeding activity using the method of choice from those indicated below Apply once to a rye or wheat cover crop when the crop is cm high, 4 to 5 days before ploughdown. Application should also be made to fencerows and a 15 metre strip into nearby cover crop. Cover crops treated with POUNCE EC should not be used as a greenfeed for animals. Apply once at least 5 days before transplanting. Use the higher rate when the top 1 cm or more of soil is dry. Do not incorporate. Application should also be made to fence rows and a 15 metre strip into nearby cover crop. Do not disturb the soil surface for at least 5 days after treatment Apply once to transplants immediately prior to anticipated cutworm feeding damage. Under conditions of severe insect pressure, applications should also be made to fence rows and a 15 metre strip into nearby cover crops. Do not apply within 55 days of harvest Apply to cover all foliage thoroughly. Repeat as necessary. May be applied up to the day before harvest or 26 ml per 5 L ---- RESIDUAL SURFACE SPRAY: Apply at the rate of 5 L per 100 square metres of surface.

5 Poultry houses, Stables, Food Processing Plants, (Dairies) Feedlots Do not apply as a space spray. Do not apply directly to animals or poultry. In dairies, apply only when not in operation. Thoroughly clean all milk utensils before resuming operations. FRUIT: For the fruit crops listed below, millilitres per 1000 litres are for use as a dilute foliar spray. Millilitres per hectare are for use with concentrated sprays. Follow provincial spray calendars for optimum timing of spray applications. Where a rate range is suggested, use the higher rate where heavy insect pressure is anticipated. Repeated applications are not advised in orchards where integrated pest management is in effect because severe reductions of beneficial arthropods may result. Apple Blueberry (Vegetative year only) Winter Moth Eastern Tent Caterpillar DO NOT apply less than 7 days before harvest. Eyespotted Budmoth Plum Curculio White Apple Leafhopper Tentiform Leafminer Green Fruitworm Apple Maggot Codling Moth Thrips Make one application between mid- May and early June when plants are 1-2 cm tall. Pear Eastern Canada Pear B.C.

DO NOT APPLY less than 7 days before harvest at the 175 ml rate and less than 14 days before harvest at the 350 ml rate DO NOT APPLY less than 7 days before harvest DO NOT APPLY less than 7 days before harvest DO NOT APPLY less than 21 days before harvest RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT: For resistance management, POUNCE EC is a Group 3 insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 3 insecticides. The resistant biotypes may dominate the insect population if these insecticides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. To delay insecticide resistance: Where possible, rotate the use of POUNCE EC with different groups that control the same pests. Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group when such use is permitted. Insecticide use should be based on an integrated pest management (IPM) program that includes scouting and record keeping and considers cultural, biological, and other chemical control practices; Monitor treated pest populations for resistance development. Contact the local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in the area. For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Bayer CropScience at PRECAUTIONS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. May cause skin or eye irritation. Avoid splashing concentrate in eyes or on hands. When applying this product in enclosed areas or with equipment

7 capable of producing respirable droplets (less than 10 microns in size), an adequate respirator should be worn. Re-entry to treated areas is permissible as soon as the spray deposit has dried. This product contains a petroleum distillate which is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during application. Do not contaminate these systems through direct application, disposal of waste or cleaning equipment. Apply using ground equipment only. DO NOT APPLY BY AIR. Toxic to fish and aquatic organisms. Do not apply where streams, lakes, ponds or other bodies of water used by livestock or for domestic purposes may be contaminated.
