GENERAL INFORMATION
RIDOMIL GOLD 1G is a systemic fungicide for the control of cavity spot in carrots, damping-off or stunt in head lettuce and the control of phytophthora root rot in ginseng. RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide moves into the soil and is readily absorbed through the roots of plants. This provides protection against diseases found in the soil.

USE LIMITATIONS
Experience has shown that strains of fungus resistant to metalaxyl-M and S-isomer may develop. Failure to control the disease will result in crop damage and/or yield losses. Since the occurrence of resistance cannot be foreseen, Syngenta Canada Inc. accepts no responsibility for any loss of, or damage to, crops resulting from the failure of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide to control the resistant fungi strains. If high levels of disease appear, consult your horticultural specialist immediately. Do not use RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide for disease control in greenhouses.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
CARROTS:
Use RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide on carrots for control of cavity spot caused by Pythium spp. Apply RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide in the seed furrow at the rate of 25 kg per treated hectare at the time of planting. Ensure that the product is applied evenly with the seed in the seed furrow.
Apply RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide as an in furrow at-plant treatment at the rate of 25 kg per treated hectare. Calculate the amount of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide to apply per 100 meters of row length by using the following directions:
1. Measure the width of each planter shoe in centimeters.
2. Adjust the granular applicator (see instructions elsewhere on this label) feeding the shoe to deliver 2.5g of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide per cm of planter shoe width per 100 meters of row length.

Example 1:
If the planter shoe is 18 cm (7 inches) wide adjust the granular applicator to deliver 18 X 2.5 = 45g of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide per 100 meters of row length.
Example 2:
If the planter shoe is 10 cm (4 inches) wide adjust the granular applicator to deliver 10 X 2.5 = 25g of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide per 100 meters of row length.
Note: The amount of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide applied per 100 meters of row length is based on the width of the planter shoe, not the number of rows of carrots planted into one planter shoe width.
Due to variations in the design of planters and the planting techniques used, the amount of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide applied per hectare of field will vary widely. Growers can use the following formula to determine the amount of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide required per hectare of field.

width of planter shoe in cm / spacing between rows in cm X 25 kg = amount of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide required to treat one hectare of field.

Example 1:
Width of planter shoe = 18cm: Spacing of rows = 36cm
Amount of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide required to treat one hectare of field
= 18/36 X 25 = 12.5 kg
Example 2:
Width of planter shoe = 10cm: Spacing of rows = 25cm
Amount of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide required to treat one hectare of field
= 10/25 X 25 = 10 kg

HEAD LETTUCE:
Use RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide in head lettuce for control of damping-off or stunt diseases caused by Pythium spp. Apply RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide in the seed furrow at the rate of 25 kg per treated hectare at the time of planting. Ensure that the product is applied evenly with the seed in the seed furrow. For direct seeded head lettuce, calibrate the applicator to deliver 115 g of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide per 100 metres of row. Do not use on transplanted lettuce. Make only one application per year.

GINSENG:
Use RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide on ginseng for the control of Phytophthora root rot caused by Phytophthora cactorum. Apply RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide uniformly as a broadcast application, using a suitable granular spreader, to the mulched beds of ginseng. Apply at the rate of 31.25 kg of RIDOMIL GOLD 1G Fungicide per hectare. Make one application in the spring just prior to the time the plants begin growing. Make a second application six weeks later and a third application six weeks after the second one. Do not apply within 9 days of harvest. Do not make more than 3 applications per year. Do not apply other products containing metalaxyl-M and S-isomer to ginseng.

COMPATIBILITY:
RIDOMIL GOLD 1G FUNGICIDE SHOULD NOT BE MIXED WITH ANY NEMATOCIDE, INSECTICIDE, HERBICIDE, FUNGICIDE, GROWTH REGULATOR, OR FERTILIZER.
