SENATOR 70WP WSB1 Fungicide is a systemic fungicide for control of certain fungus diseases. It is effective against certain diseases of apples, pears, lowbush blueberries, peaches, nectarines, plums, prunes, cherries, strawberries, raspberries, white beans, sugarbeets, potato seed pieces, ornamentals, turf and greenhouse tobacco seedlings.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: AERIAL APPLICATION

Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment that 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 applications 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. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.

Use Precautions
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.

Operator 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 has communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application.
The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, coveralls and goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom 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

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
DO NOT allow effluent or runoff from greenhouses containing this product to enter lakes, streams, ponds or other waters.
To protect pollinators, follow the instructions regarding bees in the Environmental Precautions section.
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.

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. Reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices. Nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST
NOT exceed 65% of the wing - or rotorspan.

Spray Buffer zones:
A spray buffer zone is NOT required for:
 uses with hand-held application equipment permitted on this label
The spray 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.

APPLES AND PEARS:
Apple Scab (Venturia inaequalis), Powdery Mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha): Spray with ground application equipment using sufficient volume for thorough coverage. DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
Tank Mix with Captan: Apply at the concentration of 175 grams SENATOR 70WP WSB1 Fungicide plus 1 kg of
Captan 50WP (625 g Captan 80WP) per 1000 litres of water. The rate per hectare is 625 grams of SENATOR 70WP
WSB1 Fungicide + 3.25 kg of Captan 50WP (or 2 kg of Captan 80WP) in a full-season spray program.
Do not apply tank mix with Captan within 7 days of harvest. Do not use Captan with or shortly after oil sprays, or solvent formulations of parathion. Do not exceed a spray volume of 3500 L/ha (2.2 kg product per hectare). Do not exceed 2 applications per year. Observe a minimum re-application interval of 7 days.

LOWBUSH BLUEBERRIES:
Blossom and Twig Blight (Phomopsis vaccinii): Apply 1.1 kg of SENATOR 70WP WSB1 Fungicide in 1000 litres of water per hectare when using ground application equipment or 50-60 litres of water for aerial applications. Commence applications at bud break. Make 2 applications at 10– to 14-day intervals. Exact interval used depends on weather conditions and disease development. Contact local extension officials.

PEACHES, NECTARINES, PLUMS, PRUNES, CHERRIES:
Brown Rot (Monolinia fructicola): Apply 500 grams of SENATOR 70WP WSB1 Fungicide per 1000 litres of water (1.75 kg per hectare), using ground application equipment, at very early stages of blossoming, and at full bloom to ensure adequate protection. In British Columbia apply at pink and full bloom stage. Avoid application during the crop blooming period. If applications must be made during the crop blooming period, restrict applications to the evening when most bees are not foraging. A second application may be made if wet weather conditions prevail. Do not exceed a spray volume of 3500 L/ha (1.75 kg product per hectare). Do not exceed 2 applications per year. Observe a minimum re-application interval of 7 days. DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
Experience has shown that alternating contact fungicides and SENATOR 70WP WSB1 Fungicide for control of brown rot will provide best results with least expectancy of resistance developing to the fungicides.
