Mixing and Application Rates Sample Clauses

Mixing and Application Rates. ‌ 28 For indaziflam formulations Esplanade 200 SC and Esplanade F, the labeled application rate for both 29 formulations ranges from 0.046 to 0.091 lb a.i./acre (Table 2-2). The maximum or upper limit of this 30 range, 0.091 lb a.i./acre, is based on the maximum cumulative rate that can be applied in a single 31 year. For most risk assessments, only a single application rate is selected and considered in exposure 32 assessments. Taking the most conservative approach, calculations used in the Excel workbook that 33 accompanies this risk assessment are based on this maximum application rate (Attachment 1). This 34 has been the standard approach used for FS when developing national risk assessments (SERA 35 2014a). However, the application rate can be modified by users in Worksheet A01 of Attachment 1 36 to assess site-specific application rates. 37 Application volumes are also considered in FS risk assessments and refer to the number of gallons of 38 pesticide solution applied per acre. Because most pesticides are diluted before field application, it is 39 important to take the application volume into consideration as it may have an impact on dermal and 40 direct spray scenarios, both of which depend on ‘field dilution’ (i.e., the concentration of pesticide in 1 the applied spray) (SERA 2014a). The higher the concentration of indaziflam, the higher the exposure 2 and potential for risk.
