APPLICATION INFORMATION
FOLIAR APPLICATION
Mixing Instructions For Product Used Alone
1. Fill clean spray tank 1/4 - 1/2 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of ORONDIS Fungicide, continuing agitation until the product is completely dispersed.
3. Continue filling the tank, with agitation.
Mix thoroughly to fully disperse the fungicide; once dispersed continued agitation is required. Use mechanical or hydraulic means; do not use air agitation. 

SPRAYER CLEANUP:
Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all spray equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits which might become difficult to remove.
Drain spray equipment. Thoroughly rinse sprayer and flush hoses, boom and nozzles with clean water. Clean all other associated application equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. Do not clean near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations.

SOIL APPLICATIONS
For suppression or control of soil borne diseases, as recommended in this label, ORONDIS Fungicide must be applied in a manner that ensures the product solution adequately saturates the target crop root/crown zone.
For soil application, apply ORONDIS Fungicide using drip application, transplant water application (water wheel or continuous stream transplanters), surface band or directed application, or in-furrow application. If the application method does not move the product to the target root/crown disease zone, the application must be followed with irrigation or cultivation to correctly place the product for disease control.
Transplant Water application
Transplants should be adequately watered before transplanting. Ensure transplant water volume is sufficient to thoroughly wet the rootzone.
Use 125-250 mL of transplant water per transplant in sandy soil, and 175-250 mL of transplant water per transplant in silty soil.
- For Water Wheel transplanters, use the plant population to determine the rate per plant.
Surface Band or Directed application
Apply in a 10-30 cm (4-12 inch) band. Follow application with cultivation or irrigation 1.25 - 2.5 cm (0.5 - 1 inch) to move ORONDIS Fungicide to the target disease zone.
Transplant Tray Application
Apply as a foliar spray to the transplants in the transplant tray 24-48 hrs prior to transplanting. Immediately water the spray off the foliage into the transplant tray soil, not watering past soil saturation. Wait 24 hours to transplant.
- For this application, the acre of transplants receive the full recommended acre rate for transplant tray application, applied as a foliar spray, and then washed into the transplant cubes. Transplant cubes should be on the dry side at the beginning of this treatment.

CHEMIGATION
The following types of irrigation equipment may be used for chemigation applications: drip (trickle) or strip tubing irrigation systems. Do not connect any irrigation system used for pesticide applications to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices are in place. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
See "Required System Safety Devices For All Chemigation Systems" at the end of the Chemigation section.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
DRIP (TRICKLE)
ORONDIS Fungicide must be applied in a manner that ensures the product is in the root zone. ORONDIS Fungicide must be in the root zone to provide effective control of target pests. ORONDIS Fungicide is most effective when it is applied so that the roots are at or near the site of application; manage irrigation so that significant quantities of ORONDIS Fungicide remain in the root zone where it is most effective.
1 Do not begin applications until after crop emergence in direct seeded crops.
2 Do not make applications if soil moisture is below the level required for active plant growth.
3 This product must be applied uniformly in the root zone or poor performance may result. Drip tape or emitters must be located within or directly adjacent to the root zone. The drip system must be properly designed, free of leaks, and operated in manner that provides uniform application of water throughout the field.
4 In most situations, this product should be applied during the first 1/3 of the irrigation cycle, starting just after the system has come up to pressure.
5 The minimum injection period is the time that it takes water to move from the injection point to the furthest emitter in the irrigation zone (propagation time). If this time is not known, it can be calculated by measuring the time for a soluble dye to move from the injection point to the farthest emitter. A longer injection improves uniformity throughout the zone, but needs to allow for at least an equal period of water to flush the system and move the product through the soil.
6 ORONDIS Fungicide must not be applied at the same time that a drip irrigation line clean out product is being used as performance may be reduced.

Directions for Chemigation:
Preparation
A pesticide tank is recommended for the application of ORONDIS Fungicide in drip chemigation systems. Thoroughly clean the injection system and tank of any fertilizer or chemical residues using a standard cleanout procedure. Dispose of any residues in accordance with local regulations. With the mix tank 1/4 to 1/2 full with water and the agitator running, measure the required amount of ORONDIS Fungicide and add it to the tank. Then add additional water to bring your total pesticide mixture up to the desired volume for your application. Note: Always add the ORONDIS Fungicide to water, never put ORONDIS Fungicide into a dry tank or other mixing equipment without first adding water.. Continue to agitate the mixture throughout the application process. Use mechanical or hydraulic agitation, do not use air agitation.

Injection Into Chemigation Systems
Inject the proper amount of ORONDIS Fungicide into the irrigation water flow using a positive displacement injection pump or a Venturi injector. Injection should occur at a point in the main irrigation water flow to ensure thorough mixing with the irrigation water.
Uniform Water Distribution
The irrigation system used for application of ORONDIS Fungicide must provide for uniform distribution of ORONDIS Fungicide treated water. Non-uniform distribution can result in crop injury, lack of effectiveness or illegal pesticide residues in or on the crop being treated. Ensure the drip chemigation system is operating properly to uniformly distribute the chemigation application to the crop. Contact the equipment manufacturer, the local University Extension agent or other experts if you have questions about achieving uniform distribution of the application.
Monitoring of Chemigation Applications
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of a responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. Wear the personal protective equipment as defined in the PPE section of the label for applicators and other handlers when making adjustments or repairs on the chemigation system when ORONDIS Fungicide is in the irrigation water.
Operation
Start the water pump and let the system achieve the desired pressure before starting the injector. Start the injector. When the application is finished, allow the entire irrigation and injector system to be thoroughly flushed clean before stopping the system.
Cleaning the System
Thoroughly clean the injection system and tank of any fertilizer or chemical residues using a standard cleanout procedure. Dispose of any residues in accordance with local regulations. Consult your owner’s manual or your local equipment dealer for cleanout procedures for your injection system.

REQUIRED SYSTEM SAFETY DEVICES FOR ALL CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS
1. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoidoperated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
6. Systems must use a metering device, such as a positive displacement pump or a Venturi injector, that provides uniform injection of the product, is effectively designed and constructed of materials compatible with the product, and is capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
7. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.

SPRAY TANK CLEANOUT
Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all spray equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits which might become difficult to remove.
Drain application equipment. Thoroughly rinse and flush all application equipment with clean water. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. Do not clean near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations.
