For best performance, always follow these directions:
ACTIGARD 50WG should be applied to plant foliage preventively, before disease is observed in the field.
ACTIGARD 50WG moves systemically within the plant; however uniform spray coverage is essential for best performance. Apply ACTIGARD 50WG by ground application in sufficient water to ensure uniform coverage. See instructions with each crop for specific recommendations.
An ACTIGARD 50WG application mimics the SAR response in plants.

Mixing Procedures
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate spray operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product to prevent possible crop injury, mixing or nozzle clogging problems from spray tank contamination. Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area.
1) Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
2) With the agitator running, add the ACTIGARD 50WG to the tank.
3) Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after the ACTIGARD 50WG has completely dispersed into the mix water.
4) Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
