DIRECTIONS FOR USE
GENERAL INFORMATION
TANOS 50 DF Fungicide is a protectant and locally systemic fungicide recommended for use as a spray, for the control of early and late blight on potatoes and field tomatoes.
Apply as a spray with ground or air assisted equipment, except as otherwise directed, using sufficient water to obtain thorough coverage of plants.
Do not apply TANOS 50 DF Fungicide to more than 100 ha/day.
DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
DO NOT USE ON GREENHOUSE TOMATOES.
Not for use in home plantings nor once any commercial crop is turned into U-pick, Pick-YourOwn or similar operation.

CROP SAFETY AND VARIETAL SENSITIVITY
TANOS 50 DF Fungicide must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, water logging, low temperatures, insect attacks, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing crop growth.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT
DuPont recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which can include biological, cultural, and genetic practices, aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of this product should be based on IPM principles and practices including field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when blight forecasting models reach locally determined action levels. Consult your provincial extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine the appropriate management, cultural practice and treatment threshold levels for the specific crop, geography and diseases.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the tank 1/4 to 1/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of TANOS 50 DF Fungicide.
3. Continue agitation until the TANOS 50 DF Fungicide is fully dispersed, at least 5 minutes.
4. Once the TANOS 50 DF Fungicide is fully dispersed, maintain agitation and continue filling tank with water. TANOS 50 DF Fungicide should be thoroughly mixed with water before adding any other material.
5. If the mixture is not continuously agitated, settling will occur. If settling occurs, thoroughly reagitate before using.
6. Apply TANOS 50 DF Fungicide spray mixture within 12 hours of mixing to avoid product degradation.

CROP ROTATION RESTRICTIONS
Crops that are on the TANOS 50 DF Fungicide label may be planted back at any time; cereal grains may be planted back following a minimum plantback interval of 30 days; and all other crops may be planted back following a minimum plantback interval of one year.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVOURABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage.
Important factors to consider when trying to minimize the potential for spray drift are:
a) droplet size (spray volume, pressure and nozzle type)
b) boom height (minimized above crop)
c) wind (spray between wind speeds of 5 to 15 kilometres per hour)
d) temperature and humidity (large droplets reduce evaporation).
