MAESTRO 80 WSP Fungicide provides outstanding control of a broad range of diseases including apple scab, grey mould, brown rot, sooty blotch, leaf spot, black rot, fruit rot, and mummyberry. It can be used on a wide range of horticulture crops. When used as directed, the active ingredient, captan, degrades in the soil and will not build up in the soil or soil water. MAESTRO has minimal or no impact on bees, predatory mites, beneficial insects, or earthworms.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS Observe use limitation given on the label for specific crops. Regulations of Health Canada have established the amounts of agricultural chemicals that are permitted to remain on food crops at time of harvest. To avoid exceeding these residue tolerances, use only the recommended amounts and do not spray nearer to harvest than the number of days indicated for each crop, or not later than the stage indicated. Consult local agricultural authorities for additional information such as the timing and number of applications needed which will vary with local conditions. 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 S572.1) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground. Airblast application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. 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. 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 S572.1) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wingspan or rotorspan.

AERIAL APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS

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.
