GENERAL INFORMATION
INSPIRE Fungicide is a broad spectrum fungicide with systemic and curative properties recommended for the control or suppression of many important plant diseases. INSPIRE Fungicide may be applied as a foliar spray in alternating spray programs or in tank mixes with other crop protection products. All applications must be made according to the use directions that follow.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
GROUND APPLICATION
It is important to check the physical compatibility of tank mixed pesticide products in a small volume prior to filling the sprayer. Check the compatibility of tank mixes containing INSPIRE Fungicide using a jar test with proportionate amounts of mix partners, and water, before mixing in the spray tank.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Ensure that the sprayer interior is clean, then fill the spray tank with 1/2 the required amount of water and engage gentle agitation. Good agitation is indicated by a rippling or rolling action on the surface of the water.
2. Add any WG or DF formulation mix partners and agitate to ensure complete mixing.
3. Add any SE or SC formulation mix partners and agitate to ensure complete mixing.
4. Add INSPIRE Fungicide and agitate to ensure complete mixing, followed by any additional EC formulation mix partners and agitate to ensure complete mixing.
5. Fill the tank to 3/4 the required amount of water.
6. Add any solution (SN or SL) formulation mix partners and agitate to ensure complete mixing.
7. Finish filling the sprayer with water, maintaining good agitation.
8. After any break in spraying operations, agitate thoroughly before spraying again.
9. Spray the pesticide suspension the same day as mixing.
10. Do not mix, load or clean spray equipment where there is a potential to contaminate wells or aquatic systems.
When using chemical handling equipment to fill the sprayer, the following additional recommendations apply:
WG and DF formulations are preferentially batch mixed.
SC, SN, and SL formulations may be inducted or batch mixed.
EC formulations are preferentially batch mixed.

EQUIPMENT SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

Field sprayer application:
DO NOT apply during atmospheric conditions of thermal inversion which are characterized by dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply spray droplets which are smaller than the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers fine classification (ASABE Standard S-572.1). Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Water Volume: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 150 L/ha OR the volume given in the crop and pest specific instructions tabulated below, whichever is LARGER.
2. Spray Nozzles: 80 or 110 drift reducing flat fan (e.g. those with a pre-orifice or turbulence chamber) or air induction nozzles are recommended. DO NOT use flood type nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, spray foils or hollow cone nozzles.
3. Pressure: As recommended by the nozzle manufacturer to achieve ASABE fine sized droplets.
4. Apply at uniform speed and avoid overlapping. Shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to avoid potential crop injury from over application.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in overly fine particles (mist). DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. DO NOT spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.

Airblast application: DO NOT apply during atmospheric conditions of thermal inversion which are characterized by dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers fine classification (ASABE Standard S-572.1). DO NOT direct spray above plants to be treated. Turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and outer rows. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured outside of the treatment area on the upwind side.

SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Water Volume: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 375 L/ha OR the volume given in the crop and pest specific instructions tabulated below, whichever is LARGER. Water volume should exceed the minimum recommendation at later stages of fruit development.
2. Spray Quality: Select nozzles and pressure to achieve ASABE fine sized droplets.
3. Spray Distribution: Select nozzles, orient deflectors, and adjust air speed and volume to ensure only the canopy is sprayed. Spray should just reach the top of the target. Account for the shape and canopy density of the target when setting spray distribution.
4. Apply at uniform speed and avoid overlapping. Shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to avoid potential crop injury from over application.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in overly fine particles (mist). DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. DO NOT spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.

AERIAL APPLICATION
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. When no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment.
Ground Crew 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.
All ground crew and the mixer/loaders must wear protective eyewear, chemical resistant gloves, long-sleeved shirt and long pants when mixing/loading, and during clean-up and repair activities. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing field sprayer 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.
It is important to check the physical compatibility of tank mixed pesticide products in a small volume prior to filling the sprayer. Check the compatibility of tank mixes containing INSPIRE Fungicide using a jar test with proportionate amounts of mix partners, and water, before mixing in the spray tank.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
Mixing this product directly in the aircraft hopper IS NOT recommended. The use of chemical handling or managing equipment to load the hopper IS recommended. This product MAY BE inducted into a hopper which is prefilled with water but SHOULD NOT be inducted when the product and water are mixed prior to entering the hopper. This product MAY BE batch mixed and pumped into the hopper. In all cases the chemical handling equipment and hopper interior must be clean prior to use.
NOTE: WG and DF formulations are preferentially batch mixed.
NOTE: SC, SN, and SL formulations may be inducted or batch mixed.
NOTE: EC formulations are preferentially batch mixed.
It is NOT recommended to combine solid (WG or DF) formulations with liquid tank mix partners within a single batch. Batch mix WG or DF formulations first, pump into the hopper, and then add liquid tank mix partners by induction or as an additional batch mix. When tank mixing multiple products, follow the mixing order outlined below:
1. Pump water into the hopper to at least 1/4 to 1/2 of the desired spray volume. Engage hopper circulation, if possible.
2. Thoroughly batch mix any WG or DF formulation mix partners and agitate to ensure complete mixing. Pump into the hopper
3. Induct or thoroughly batch mix any SE or SC formulations.
4. Thoroughly batch mix INSPIRE Fungicide and any EC formulation mix partners. EC formulations may be added to the batch from Step 3, if desired.
5. Induct or thoroughly batch mix any solution (SN or SL) formulation mix partners. SN/SL formulations may be added to the batch from Step 3, if desired.
6. Pump batch mixed SC, EC, and/or SN/SL products into the hopper.
7. Finish filling the hopper with water.
8. If it was not possible to engage hopper agitation in Step 1, do so as soon as possible once airborne.
9. Spray the pesticide suspension the same day as mixing.
10. Do not mix, load or clean equipment where there is a potential to contaminate wells or aquatic systems. 

Pilot Precautions
Read and understand the entire label before using this product. 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 Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides. Suggested conditions for good aerial application are moderate temperatures (less than 25 C) and moderate relative humidity (greater than 40%). Light winds at altitude of 3-16 km/h are preferred, with 3-9 km/h considered optimal. Ensure uniform application and a uniform spray with minimum potential for drift. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking technology. GPS based marking is preferred.
DO NOT apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed.
DO NOT apply during atmospheric conditions of thermal inversion which are characterized by 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 spray droplets which are smaller than the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers medium classification (ASABE Standard S-572.1). The nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing or rotor span in order to reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices.

SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Water Volume: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 45 L/ha OR the volume given in the crop and pest specific instructions tabulated below, whichever is LARGER.
2. Spray Nozzles: Use only ASABE medium nozzles rated as delivering droplets of volume median diameter of 300 microns or greater.
3. Pressure or RPM: As recommended by the nozzle or rotary atomizer manufacturer to achieve ASABE medium sized droplets.
4. Ensure hopper agitation is engaged whenever possible during flight. Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in overly fine particles (mist).
DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. DO NOT spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.
