• Ground:
º Canola, mustard, sunflower, flax, alfalfa, unimproved pasture, summerfallow (Matador only), corn, wheat, barley,
oats - DO NOT make more than 3 applications per year at the 33.2 ml/acre rate.
º Potatoes - DO NOT make more than 3 applications per year at the 33.2 ml/acre rate. DO NOT make more than
2 applications per year if using the 50 ml/acre rate. DO NOT exceed 100 ml/acre of lambda-cyhalothrin per year.
º Beans, chickpeas, favabeans, lentils, peas, soybeans - DO NOT make more than 3 applications per year. DO NOT
graze or harvest treated forage straw or hay for livestock feed.
Timing:
For potato insects, timing of application should be based on the presence of vulnerable pest developmental stages and
significant populations as determined by local monitoring.
For sunflower beetles, use the high rate to control adults.
For flea beetles, to prevent migration of over-wintering adults throughout the field, spray a 15 m strip around the field at
the first sign of flea beetle feeding.
For grasshoppers, apply the low rate when grasshoppers are up to the 3 rd nymphal stage (up to 1 cm in length) or when
insect numbers are low. Apply the high rate when insects are larger, up to but not including, winged adults or when insect
numbers are high.
For corn borer control apply Matador before the larva bores into the plant stalk or pods.
How it Works:
Lambda-cyhalothrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. It is a fast acting stomach and contact insecticide effective against
a broad spectrum of foliar pests. It has no fumigant or systemic activity.
Effects of Weather:
For best results, apply Lambda-cyhalothrin during the early morning before temperatures rise, and during the evening, past
the heat of the day.
Tank Mixes:
Herbicides: (Ground only)
• Horizon
• Tralkoxydim Δ
Fungicides: (Tank mixes on legumes (bean, chickpea, lentil, pea, soybean), corn, barley, oats and wheat may be applied by
ground or air). Refer to label for other crops.
• Propiconazole Δ
• Allegro in dry bean
• Quadris (Matador only)
• Quilt (Matador only)
• Headline (Silencer only) on dry field pea to control insects and diseases listed on the label of each product. Read
carefully and follow all use directions and use precautions on both the Silencer 120 EC and Headline EC Fungicide
labels. Failure to follow the rates of use and timing of application as recommended for each product will result in
unsatisfactory control of target pest.

Manufacturers may only support specific mixes. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
Restrictions:
• DO NOT apply to flowering crops or weeds if bees are visiting treatment area.
• Grazing: Timothy - DO NOT graze or feed lactating dairy animals. DO NOT apply within 3 days of non-lactating
livestock foraging.
• Alfalfa seed from treated crops is not to be used for production of “alfalfa sprouts” for human consumption.
