DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide can be used effectively in dilute spray. Thorough, uniform coverage is essential for disease control.
NOTE: Slowly invert container several times to assure uniform mixture.
Dosage rates on this label indicate litres of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide per hectare, unless otherwise stated. Under conditions which favour disease development the shortest application interval should be used.
The required amount of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide should be added slowly into the spray tank during filling. Keep agitator running when filling spray tank and during spray operations.

Rotational Crop Restrictions
Areas treated with Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide may be replanted with potatoes and dry shelled beans as soon as practical after the last application. Other root crops and leafy vegetables can be planted 30 days after the last application. All other crops can be planted 70 days after the last application.

Integrated Pest Management
Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide is an excellent disease control agent when used according to label directions for control of late blight of potato and white mould of soybean. Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide is recommended for use as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which may include the use of disease resistant potato varieties, cultural practices, biological control agents, pest scouting and disease forecasting systems aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Practices known to reduce disease development should be followed. Consult your provincial agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established in your area. Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide may be used in disease forecasting programs, which recommend application timing based on environmental factors that favour disease development.

Potato - Recommended Application
Begin applications when the plants are 15 to 20 centimetres tall or when conditions favour disease development. Repeat application at intervals of 7 to 10 days. Apply Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide in sufficient water to obtain adequate coverage of foliage. Spray volumes to be used vary with amount of plant growth. Spray volume usually will range from 200 to 600 litres per hectare for ground application. For aerial application, apply in a minimum of 45 litres per hectare. DO NOT apply more than the maximum seasonal use rate of 4.0 litres per hectare during each growing season. DO NOT apply within 14 days prior to harvest. DO NOT make more than 3 sequential applications of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide before alternating to a fungicide with a different mode of action. DO NOT apply more than 10 applications per year.
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

Soybean - Recommended Application
Begin applications at the R1 (early bloom) to R2 (full bloom) stage of development and, if needed, again 10- to 14-days later at early pod formation (R3). As a preventative spray or with conditions favoring low disease pressure use the low rate. For conditions favoring moderate to high disease development use the high rate. Apply Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide in sufficient water to obtain adequate coverage of foliage. Spray volumes to be used vary with amount of plant growth. Spray volume usually will range from 200 to 600 litres per hectare. DO NOT apply more than the maximum seasonal use rate of 2.34 litres per hectare during each growing season. DO NOT apply after growth stage R3, early pod formation. DO NOT apply more than 2 applications per year. DO NOT allow livestock to graze treated areas. DO NOT feed hay from treated fields to livestock.
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
DO NOT apply by air.

Pesticide Storage
Store product in original container, in a secured, dry place separate from other pesticides, fertilizer, food, and feed.

Resistance Management Recommendations
For resistance management, please note that Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide contains fluazinam, a Group 29 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 29 fungicides. The resistance biotypes may dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

To delay fungicide resistance:
For resistance management, please note that Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide contains a Group 29 fungicide which is considered to have a low risk of resistance development. However, as a general principle, it is recommended not to rely exclusively on the same product for pest control. To prolong effectiveness of this product, the following resistance management strategies should be followed:
Do not make more than three consecutive sprays of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide or other Group 29 fungicides in a block sequence before switching to a fungicide with a different mode of action. Several three-application blocks of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide may be applied in a season if separated by applications of fungicides with a different mode of action.
Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that is effective on the target pathogen when such use is permitted.
Fungicide use should be based on an integrated disease management program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications.
Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. Notify ISK Biosciences Corporation if reduced sensitivity of the pathogen to Allegro 500F is suspected.
If disease continues to progress after treatment with this product, do not increase the use rate. Discontinue use of this product, and switch to another fungicide with a different site of action, if available.
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
