Product Features
Broad-spectrum systemic fungicide for control of a wide range of diseases on wheat (spring, winter and durum), barley and triticale (spring and winter). Trusted formulation with easy-to-use packaging that will help protect the crop from yield and quality loss due to disease. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Introduction
StarPro is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide for control of a wide range of diseases on wheat (spring, winter and durum), barley and triticale (spring and winter). StarPro will protect the crop from yield and quality losses due to disease.

APPLICATION IN FIELDS ADJACENT TO AQUATIC AREAS:
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, AND ESTUARIES.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application

Method of application
Crop Buffer Zones (metres) Required
for the Protection of:
Terrestrial Habitats
Field sprayer Wheat (spring, winter and durum), Barley and
Triticale (spring and winter)
Aerial Wheat (spring, winter and durum), Barley and Triticale (spring and winter) Fixed and rotary wing 15 when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
Do not cultivate within 3 metres of an aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. Do not apply by ground or air within 30 metres of aquatic areas listed above.
The aquatic buffer zone of 30 meters may not be modified by the Spray Buffer Zone Calculator on the Pesticides portion of the Canada.ca website.
Rotational Crops:
Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on this label and soybean as soon as practical after the last application. For all other crops, do not plant back within 120 days of last application.

GROUND APPLICATION:
1. Use well-maintained and calibrated conventional spray equipment, which provides adequate and uniform coverage.
2. Apply StarPro in a minimum of 100 L water/ha.
3. Spray screens should be no finer than 50 mesh.
4. Ensure that the by-pass line discharges at the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming.
5. Maintain pressure at no less than 275 kPa to ensure good foliage penetration and coverage.
6. Provincial buffer zones that are greater than the buffer zones indicated in the

DIRECTIONS FOR USE, Section 9, should be respected.
7. If spray mixture remains in the tank overnight, or for long periods during the day, agitate thoroughly prior to application.

AERIAL APPLICATION- OPERATOR PRECAUTIONS:
1. Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label.
2. 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 application 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. If you have questions, obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.
3. Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.
4. Apply StarPro in a minimum of 50 L of water/ha.
5. To ensure proper coverage and distribution and to minimize drift, check to see that swath width and droplet size are adequate, and that wind velocities are low.
6. Use mechanical flaggers only.

AERIAL APPLICATION-USE PRECAUTIONS:
1. Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage.
2. 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.

AERIAL APPLICATION- OPERATOR PRECAUTIONS:
1. DO NOT allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted.
2. It is desirable that the pilot has communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application.
3. 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.
4. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking.
5. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly.
6. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.
Section 13: Resistance Management Recommendations
For resistance management, please note that StarPro contains two Group 3 fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to StarPro and other Group 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides 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 resistance:
• Where possible, rotate the use of StarPro or other Group 3 fungicides with different groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that is effective on the target pathogen when such use is permitted.
• Fungicide use should be based on an integrated disease management program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
• Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications.
• Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. Notify Rotam if reduced sensitivity of the pathogen to StarPro is suspected.
• 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 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.
