GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Use PARASOL WG Fungicide at 1.1-4.25 kg/ha as noted. PARASOL WG Fungicide is adaptable to spraying from all types of spray equipment. It can be used in high or low volume spray. No additional surfactants are needed.
Add PARASOL WG Fungicide slowly to the spray tank partially filled with water. Spreader-stickers, insecticides, nutrients, etc. should be added last. PARASOL WG Fungicide is compatible with commercially formulated spreader-stickers, non-herbicidal agricultural oils, and such insecticides as Rotenone and Parathion.
The following specific instructions are based on general applications. However, the recommendations of the Provincial Ministry of Agriculture should be closely followed as to timing, frequency and number of sprays per season.

RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS 
For resistance management, please note that PARASOL WG Fungicide contains a Group M1 fungicide/bactericide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to PARASOL WG Fungicide and other Group M1 fungicides/bactericides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides/bactericides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide/bactericide resistance:
Where possible, rotate the use of PARASOL WG Fungicide or other Group M1 fungicides/bactericides with different groups that control the same pathogens.
Use tank mixtures with fungicide/bactericides from a different group when such use is permitted.
Fungicide/bactericide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Monitor treated fungal/bacterial 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 advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
DO NOT APPLY BY AIR. 
DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or bystanders, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. DO NOT apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands), estuarine/marine habitats.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
BEANS, Bacterial Blight, Halo (Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola), Bacterial Blight, Common (Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli): For protective sprays, apply first application when plants are 15 cm high. Apply on 7-14 day schedule depending on local conditions. Use 2.25-3.25 kg/ha depending on disease severity. Do not apply within 2 days of harvest. Do not apply more than 6 treatments per year, with a minimum retreatment interval of 7 days.
CUCUMBERS, Angular Leaf Spot (Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans): Apply weekly once the plants begin to vine. Use 2.25-3.25 kg/ha. Do not apply within 2 days of harvest. Do not apply more than 5 treatments per year, with a minimum retreatment interval of 7 days.
PEPPERS, Bacterial Spot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria and X. vesicatoria): When disease threatens, apply 2.25-3.25 kg/ha at 7 to 14 day intervals depending on disease severity. Do not apply within 2 days of harvest. Do not apply more than 10 treatments per year, with a minimum retreatment interval of 3 days.
POTATOES, Early Blight (Alternaria solani), Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans): Apply at 7 to 10 day intervals starting when plants are 15 cm high until harvest. Use PARASOL WG Fungicide at 1.1-2.5 kg/ha, depending on density of foliage, combined with 1.75- 2.25 kg of Mancozeb (80% active) product per ha. PARASOL WG Fungicide at 3.4 kg/ha may be applied at vinekill with a desiccant or alone after vinekill, prior to harvest. This late treatment may reduce infection of tubers by the late blight fungus during harvesting. Do not apply within 2 days of harvest. Do not apply more than 10 treatments per year, with a minimum retreatment interval of 5 days.
SUGAR BEETS, Cercospora Leaf Spot (Cercospora beticola): Start spray when disease threatens and continue for 4 to 5 applications. Spray every 10 to 14 days depending on weather conditions at 2.25-4.25 kg/ha depending on disease severity. Addition of a suitable non-herbicidal agricultural spray oil is recommended at 5.5 liters/ha. For specific instructions, consult local agricultural authorities. Do not apply within 2 days of harvest. Do not apply more than 6 treatments per year, with a minimum retreatment interval of 7 days.
TOMATOES, Bacterial Spot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria), Early Blight (Alternaria solani), Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans): When disease threatens, apply 2.25 kg/ha at 7 to 10 day intervals, more frequently when disease is severe. PARASOL WG Fungicide should be combined with 1.75-2.25 kg/ha maneb or mancozeb (80% active compound). Do not apply within 2 days of harvest. Do not apply more than 10 treatments per year, with a minimum retreatment interval of 3 days.

BUFFER ZONES
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.
Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: handheld 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.
