FIRST AID
If swallowed
Call poison control center or doctor immediately
for treatment advice.
Do not give any liquid to the person.
Do not induce vomiting unless told to do so by
the poison control center or doctor.
Do not give anything by mouth to an unconscious
person.
If in eyes
Hold eye open and rinse slowly and gently with
water for 15-20 minutes.
Remove contact lenses, if present, after the first 5
minutes, then continue rinsing eye.
Call a poison control center or doctor for
treatment advice.
If on skin or
Take off contaminated clothing.
clothing
Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for
15-20 minutes.
Call a poison control center or doctor for
treatment advice.
If inhaled
Move person to fresh air.
If person is not breathing, call 911 or an
ambulance, then give artificial respiration,
preferably by mouth-to-mouth, if possible.
Call a poison control center or doctor for further
treatment advice.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN
Early signs of intoxication include dilation of pupils, muscular
incoordination, and muscular tremors. Toxicity following accidental
ingestion of Avid can be minimized by early administration of
chemical adsorbents (e.g., activated charcoal).
If toxicity from exposure has progressed to cause severe vomiting,
the extent of resultant fluid and electrolyte imbalance should be
gauged. Appropriate supportive parental fluid replacement therapy
should be given, along with other required supportive measures
(such as maintenance of blood pressure levels and proper
respiratory functionality) as indicated by clinical signs, symptoms,
and measurements.
In severe cases, observations should continue for at least several
days until clinical condition is stable and normal. Since abamectin
is believed to enhance GABA activity in animals, it is probably
wise to avoid drugs that enhance GABA activity (barbiturates,
benzodiazepines, valproic acid) in patients with potentially toxic
abamectin exposure.
Have the product container or l
abel with you when
calling a poison
control center or doctor, or going for treatment.

0.15EC 3
GENERAL INFORMATION
Avid 0.15EC is an emulsifiable concentrate containing 0.15 lb.
abamectin/gal. which when mixed with water according to the
directions for use will control leafminers and mites and suppress
whiteflies, thrips, and aphids on ornamentals.
Mix with sufficient water and apply as a foliar spray to obtain
uniform coverage. For mites, apply when mites first appear and
repeat as necessary to maintain control. For leafminers, apply as
needed and repeat at 7-day intervals or as necessary to maintain
control.
For suppression of aphids, thrips, and whiteflies apply when
young, immature stages of these pests are first observed and
repeat every 7 days for 2 or 3 weeks. After which time, rotate
to other products that have different modes of action than Avid
for at least 2-3 weeks. Refer to the
Resistance Management
section for additional comments on rotation. Aphids, thrips, and
whiteflies are killed by direct contact with the Avid spray.
Residual control of pests may be enhanced with the addition of
a horticultural spray oil at 0.5 to 1.0% of the spray volume on
field-grown woody ornamentals, landscape plants, and Christmas
trees. Repeat application as necessary, but no sooner than 7
days to maintain control. Some plants are sensitive to oils and so
without prior experience the user should spray a small number
of plants and observe plants for 2 weeks before spraying the
remaining plants. Excessive cold or warm temperatures may
increase the chance of plant damage following application with
oils. Carefully read and follow directions on the oil label and do
not exceed maximum rates listed on either label.
Resistance Management
Treatment may not be effective against these pests if Avid tol-
erant strains develop. Therefore, when applying Avid to plants
that are hosts of labeled pests with multiple generations per
crop or year, resistance management strategies must be used.
Such strategies may include, but are not limited to, rotation of
products with different modes of action, avoid treatment of suc-
cessive generations with the same product, use of labeled rates
at specified spray intervals, non-chemical alternatives such as
beneficial arthropods, rotation of susceptible to non-susceptible
plants, and various cultural practices. For additional information
on the implementation of these or other resistance management
strategies, consult with your State Cooperative Extension Ser-
vice.
To manage susceptibility in
Liriomyza
leafminer species, apply a
maximum of three applications of Avid and then rotate to Citation
®
for a maximum of three applications, before rotating back to
Avid or using another product. The rotation between these two
products with different modes of action should be based on the
generation time of
Liriomyza
specie to avoid applying Avid to
successive generations.
Restrictions
Do not uses Avid for suppression of aphids, whiteflies, and thrips
on roses, chrysanthemums, and gerbera. These ornamentals are
primary hosts of mites and
Liriomyza
leafminers for which Avid
applications should be targeted. Additional applications of Avid
to suppress aphids, thrips, and whiteflies on these plants will in-
crease the selection pressure on mites and
Liriomyza
leafminers
which may result in greater tolerance to Avid among these pests.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation
system.
Not for aerial application.
Do not use in citrus nurseries.
Avid has been evaluated for phytotoxicity on a wide range of or-
namental plants. However, since all combinations or sequences
of pesticide sprays including surfactants and adjuvants have not
been tested, it is recommended that a small area be sprayed first
to make certain that no phytotoxicity occurs. Phytotoxicity has
been observed following the use of Avid on certain species of
ferns (e.g.,
Adiantum
spp.) and Shasta Daisy (
L. eucanthemum
spp.). It is therefore recommended that Avid not be used on
ferns or Shasta Daisy.

oz./100 gals.
2
Apply, for example, in 100-200 gals. of water/A. In water volumes below
100 gals., use a minimum of 8 fl. oz./A. If more than 200 gals. of water
per acre are required for good plant coverage, apply the maximum rate
of 16 fl. oz./A. For example, if 400 gals. of water are required, use 4 fl.
oz./100 gals.
