GENERAL INFORMATION
This package contains HEADLINE DUO, a water dispersible granule (WG). The active ingredients in HEADLINE DUO belong to two classes of fungicides, the strobilurin and the anilids. HEADLINE DUO contains two different modes of action on most major diseases and is effective against pathogens resistant to other fungicides. HEADLINE DUO inhibits spore germination, mycelial growth and sporulation of the fungus on the leaf surface. Optimum disease control is achieved when HEADLINE DUO is applied in a regularly scheduled protective spray program and is used in a rotation with fungicides of a diffent mode of action.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Apply recommended rates of HEADLINE DUO as instructed in the following crop specific application rate and timing table. Apply HEADLINE DUO with ground or aerial equipment. Equipment should be checked frequently for proper calibration.
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

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.

Aerial application
DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.

APPLICATION METHODS
Ground Application
Apply HEADLINE DUO at rates listed in application rate and timing table when conditions are favourable for the development of disease. Use a minimum water volume of 100 L/ha on chickpeas, dry peas and lentils. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Consult nozzle manufacturers recommendation for spray pressures for specific nozzles.

Aerial Application
Apply HEADLINE DUO at rates listed in application rate and timing table (crop specific) when conditions are favourable for the development of disease. Use a minimum water volume of 50 L/ha. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Consult nozzle manufacturers recommendation for spray pressures for specific nozzles.
Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label.
Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment.
Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.

Use Precautions
Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides.

Operator Precautions
Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted.
It is desirable that the pilot have communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application.
The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label.
All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly.

Product Specific Precautions
Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-877-371-BASF (2273) or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.

Additives
Do not use additives or adjuvants unless otherwise specified.

Buffer Zones
Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment.
The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.

Method of application – Field sprayer (1)
Crop – Chickpeas, dry peas, lentils
Buffer Zones (metres) Required for the Protection of:
Freshwater Habitat of Depths:
Less than 1 m – 5
Greater than 1 m – 1
Estuarine/Marine Habitat of Depths:
Less than 1 m – 1
Greater than 1 m – 1

Method of application – Aerial (Fixed wing or rotary wing)
Crop – Chickpeas, dry peas, lentils
Buffer Zones (metres) Required for the Protection of:
Freshwater Habitat of Depths:
Less than 1 m – 150
Greater than 1 m – 10
Estuarine/Marine Habitat of Depths:
Less than 1 m – 10
Greater than 1 m – 1

(1) For field sprayer application, buffer zones can be reduced with the use of drift reducing spray shields. When using a spray boom fitted with a full shield (shroud, curtain) that extends to the crop canopy, the labeled buffer zone can be reduced by 70%. When using a spray boom where individual nozzles are fitted with cone-shaped shields that are no more than 30 cm above the crop canopy, the labelled buffer zone can be reduced by 30%.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Toxic to aquatic organisms, non-target terrestrial plants and small wild mammals. Observe buffer zones specified under DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay.
Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast.
Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
Boscalid present in HEADLINE DUO is persistent and may carry over. It is recommended that any products containing boscalid not be used in areas treated with this product during the previous season.

RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Please note that HEADLINE DUO contains both a Group 7 (boscalid) and Group 11 (pyraclostrobin) fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to HEADLINE DUO and other Group 7 and Group 11 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but are specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance:
Adhere to the label instructions regarding the use of HEADLINE DUO or other Group 7 or 11 fungicides as stated in the Crop-Specific Restrictions and Limitations section of the label. DO NOT apply more than two (2) sequential applications of HEADLINE DUO before alternating to at least one application of a fungicide with different mode of action other than Group 7 and Group 11.
HEADLINE DUO use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
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 target site of action, if available.
Contact your local extension specialist, or certified crop advisers for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
For further information and to report suspected resistance, contact a BASF representative at 1-877-371-2273 or at www.agsolutions.ca.
