WARHAWK Insecticide, 2.5 gal

WARHAWK is a restricted-use chlorpyrifos concentrate in a 2.5-gallon jug. Current label eligibility and application limits depend on crop, site and method.

A concentrated crop insecticide

WARHAWK is a liquid chlorpyrifos concentrate with 4 pounds of active ingredient per gallon. The 2.5-gallon jug is intended for labeled agricultural use, not as a ready-to-use spray. The chemistry has a role only when the target pest, crop and site match an allowed treatment. The label has separate crop tables because the same pest-control decision can carry different rates, methods and timing on different crops. Those details are central to choosing the product, not fine print to check after a tank is mixed.

Florida uses depend on the crop and treatment

For Florida, current directions include crop-specific entries for citrus, cotton and soybeans, but their limits are different. Citrus has its own pest and timing rows, including annual chlorpyrifos limits and preharvest intervals. Cotton and soybeans have separate seasonal maxima and restrictions. A permission for a crop does not mean every pest, application method or field condition is covered. Identify the crop, target, location and proposed equipment first. Then work from that exact line of the current label and its footnotes. Do not transfer a rate from one crop to another.

Know the applicator requirement before planning

This is a federal restricted-use pesticide. Florida law requires a buyer to hold a valid dealer license, applicator license or purchase authorization card. Application must be by a licensed applicator or under a licensed applicator’s direct supervision, within the certification’s covered uses. WARHAWK is available through in-store eligibility review. Before applying, obtain the Endangered Species Protection Bulletin for the field and application month, then follow the measures listed for that place and time.

Match equipment to the site

Maintain water setbacks of 25 feet for ground boom or chemigation, 50 feet for orchard airblast and 150 feet for aerial application near the listed permanent waters. Other drift controls and sensitive-site restrictions still apply. The choice of equipment changes how the spray moves beyond the crop, so field edges, wind and nearby water belong in the plan. A general statement that a crop is on the label is not enough to establish that a particular treatment can go ahead. Read the full crop row, restrictions and emergency information before handling the jug.

Cautions

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN

FIRST AID: ORGANOPHOSPHATE

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Chlorpyrifos is a cholinesterase inhibitor. Treat symptomatically. If exposed, plasma and red blood cell cholinesterase tests may indicate significance of exposure (baseline data are useful). Atropine, only by injection, is the preferable antidote. Oximes, such as 2-PAM/protopam, may be therapeutic if used early; however, use only in conjunction with atropine. In case of severe acute poisoning, use antidote immediately after establishing an open airway and respiration. Contains petroleum distillate - vomiting may cause aspiration pneumonia.

Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or going for treatment.
