1 BLOOM BRILLIANCE

2 Safari is the leading drench/spray insecticide in the market for good reason: performance. Safari controls more insects faster and longer than any comparable insecticide. It provides excellent control of Q-biotype and B-biotype whiteflies, aphids, fungus gnat larvae, leafhoppers, leafminers, mealybugs, armored scales and soft scales. A FORMULA TO FIT YOUR NEEDS Super-systemic with fast uptake, increased concentration in leaves Broad-spectrum control, including Q- and B-biotype whiteflies Excellent water solubility and upward movement in the plant makes Safari the leading choice for drench applications LASTING RESIDUAL PROTECTION Outstanding residual control due to systemic concentration Nearly three months of activity in most drench applications UPTAKE LEVELS LAST LONG AFTER TREATMENT Safari 20 SG 2.2 oz/10 of DBH.

Use Safari as a drench to minimize any exposure to bees and bee activity.

3 APPLY ASSURANCE CONQUER B- AND Q-BIOTYPE WHITEFLIES TURN THE TIDE ON THRIPS Safari controls many invasive pests including B- and Q-biotype whiteflies. The Q-biotype can be particularly costly to greenhouse operations because it is prone to resistance against many common insecticides of varying insecticide classes. Meanwhile, a broad range of greenhouse and nursery plants can play host to Q-biotype, which are more prone than other whiteflies to carry and spread viruses from infected plants to the broader crop. Whiteflies are very small, generally between 1 and 2 millimeters. They are more likely to feed and lay eggs on the underside of leaves. Whitefly life cycles last about 30 days in warm temperatures with four life stages; egg, nymph, redeye pupa and adult. Yellowish eggs are partially deposited in the leaf and turn brown before hatching. Nymphs crawl from the egg and attach to the plant, eventually becoming the pupa. Plant leaf or sticky card scouting can detect whiteflies. Traps can help to control mild infestations. However, when mold or sticky honeydew is present, this can signal a significant infestation that should be addressed quickly with additional controls. The good news is that there are effective rotational pesticide tools available for control of whiteflies. Safari offers effective control, plus long-lasting residual when applied as a drench, to control both B- and Q-biotype whiteflies faster than the competition. THERE ARE NO VISIBLE DIFFERENCES TO ALLOW YOU TO DETERMINE EITHER THE B- OR Q-BIOTYPE. If you are uncertain as to whether your whitefly population is B- or Q-biotype, free diagnostic tests are available at numerous university and government locations and should be conducted prior to treatment. Obtaining satisfactory thrip control has been complicated due to high levels of resistance to some insecticides. When targeting thrips, be sure to continuously rotate pesticide modes of action to help delay resistance. Monitor sticky cards closely both for early detection and to observe the effectiveness of your insecticide applica tion. Because thrips often reside in protected portions of plants, applications of insecticides for thrips are most effective when applied with high-pressure sprays with fine droplets. This spray technique provides maximum penetration into flowers and other plant areas where the thrips are present. Recommended insecticides to control thrips as part of a quality rotation program include Overture and TriStar. Overture 35 WP insecticide offers novel chemistry to provide outstanding control of thrips, even those that are considered tolerant or resistant to other insecticides. Overture is soft on most beneficial insects. It is applied as a spray and has shown to be effective for foliar applications using low-volume spraying systems. TriStar 8.5 SL insecticide provides quick knockdown control of several pests, including thrips. The odorless, wa ter-based formulation mixes easily and works on contact. It is compati ble with many miticides and fungicides. Plus, Acetamiprid, the active ingredient in TriStar, is EPA classified as a reduced-risk insecticide and an alternative to help manage thrips where impact on pollinators is a concern.

4 TriStar is the leading midway-to-finish spray insecticide for good reason: assurance. With broad-spectrum control, quick knockdown, little residue, and just right residual, TriStar protects plants for a stronger finish. TriStar is softer on beneficial insects and an alternative where pollinator impact is a concern. A FORMULA TO FIT YOUR NEEDS Provides contact, systemic and translaminar activity to protect old and new growth Easy-to-use and is an excellent tank-mix partner Odorless and mixes easily with water Good IPM and resistance management tool Acetamiprid, the active ingredient in TriStar, is EPA classified as a reduced-risk insecticide FAST RESULTS, JUST-RIGHT RESIDUAL Absorbs and spreads within the plant quickly to knock down a broad spectrum of insects (in as little as 15 minutes as a direct spray) Shorter residual is just right for crop finishing up to 4 weeks residual control on bedding plants, 4 to 6 weeks on woody ornamentals and trees (depending on the plant material) ABSORPTION RATE INTO LEAF Individual foliar absorption rates obtained from marketing claims by respective company FIELD-GROWN NURSERY CONTAINER-GROWN NURSERY GREENHOUSE EDIBLES TriStar Marathon Flagship Average Foliar Absorption (Hours) CONSIDER USING TRISTAR WHEN: Mid- or late-season pest pressure surfaces, blooms may be present, thrip resistance to other chemistries is evident or market-time protection is needed to help assure a quality, satisfactory delivery. TriStar is the product of choice for in-bloom plant application. If flowers are in bloom in the area to be treated, apply only during late evening, night or early morning.

5 BEE RESPONSIBLE A RESPONSIBLE INDUSTRY APPROACH Nufarm is diligent in its support of environmental stewardship, pollinator safety, beneficial insect protection and the appropriate use of rotational management tools. We re here to help greenhouse and nursery growers uphold these important elements while producing successful crops year in and year out. Newer-generation pesticides, including certain Nufarm insecticides, fungicides and herbicides, play a vital role in enabling growing outcomes. Most pesticide solutions can be used safely around pollinators by following label directions, using good stewardship practices, adopting a pollinator protection plan, and maintaining open dialogue with the local beekeeping community. While many factors, such as varroa mites and ecosystem disruptions, adversely affect honey bee colony health, significant positive strides in pollinator protection have been achieved. We value this awareness and will continue to work with growers to foster good stewardship of our green industry, our local environment and our world. We understand that traditional cultural management practices help provide a clear way forward for your crop. We also know that there are times when pest pressure presents a serious threat. When it does, Nufarm is ready to support your pest management decisions, including the proper use of appropriate, high-performing rotational tools that deliver results. DO YOUR PART SIX FAST TIPS 1. Use an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program 2. Always read and follow label directions 3. Know which pesticides may harm pollinators 4. Learn pollinator visitation habits, minimize bee exposure by applying during low flight periods 5. Communicate with local beekeepers 6. Follow your state s pollinator protection plan NufarmInsider.com 2018 Nufarm. Important: Always read and follow label directions. Overture and Safari are trademarks of Valent U.S.A. LLC.
