ROTATIONAL CROPS
Treated areas may be replanted IMMEDIATELY following harvest with any crop listed on this label, in addition to wheat, fruiting vegetables and cucurbits. For crops not listed on this label DO NOT plant back within 30 days of last application.

MIXING
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. 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.
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the FLINT Fungicide to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after the FLINT Fungicide has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
