use summary
APPLICATION TO ORNAMENTAL PLANTS
Safari® 20 SG Insecticide can be applied as a foliar spray, broadcast spray, soil drench, soil injection, basal bark spray, and via chemigation for insect control in ornamental plants in greenhouses, nurseries, outdoor landscapes and interior plantscapes.
Safari 20 SG Insecticide is a systemic product and will be taken up by the root system and translocated upward throughout the plant. When applied as a foliar spray, the product offers translaminar and locally systemic control of foliar pests.
When applied to the soil, Safari 20 SG Insecticide will be translocated more quickly in herbaceous plants than in woody shrubs and trees. Speed of insect control will range from as little as one day for small herbaceous plants in containers, to several days in larger trees growing in the landscape.
For outdoor and landscape ornamentals, broadcast applications cannot exceed a total of 2.7 lbs of product (0.54 lb active ingredient) per acre per year.

PRECAUTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
To delay the development of resistance in greenhouses, nurseries, and interiorscapes, do not make more than one soil application per crop cycle or three months, whichever is shorter.
DO NOT apply more than 1.34 lbs (.268 lbs ai) per acre of nursery per year. Prevent runoff or puddling of irrigation water following application.
DO NOT apply to areas that are water-logged or saturated or frozen, which will not allow penetration into the root zone of the plant.
See label for complete precautions and restrictions.
