Application Directions
Leaf Diseases in Cereals
For optimal leaf disease control, begin applications of TWINLINE Fungicide, prior to disease development or at the onset of disease symptoms. Use 0.38 to 0.5 L/ha of TWINLINE Fungicide to control of leaf disease. Utilize the 0.5 L/ha rate to obtain extended protection with maximum yield benefits.
Suppression of Fusarium Head Blight in Cereals
The risk of Fusarium head blight (FHB) in cereals is greater when the weather is warm and wet at head emergence and flowering. The application of TWINLINE Fungicide for suppression of FHB should be considered when these environmental conditions are forecasted. To maximize yield and suppress FHB, apply TWINLINE Fungicide at a rate of 1.14 L/ha to wheat and rye when crops are at the 20% flowering stage (GS 61-63 BBCH) using sprayer nozzles configured to provide excellent coverage of the cereal head. For barley, apply TWINLINE Fungicide at a rate of 1.14 L/ha between full head emergence to up to 3 days after full emergence of main stem heads. Application of TWINLINE Fungicide will reduce the Fusarium toxin (DON) in harvested grain.
Resistance Management: DO NOT make more than two (2) applications of TWINLINE Fungicide per season.
Minimum spray interval is 10 - 14 days.


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.

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) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.

General Restrictions
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 or wastes.

Ground Application
Apply TWINLINE Fungicide at rates listed in application rate and timing table (crop specific) when conditions are favourable for the development of disease. Use a minimum water volume of 100 L/ha. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Consult nozzle manufacturers recommendation for spray pressures for specific nozzles.

Aerial Application
Apply TWINLINE Fungicide at rates listed in the application rate and timing tables (crop specific) when conditions are favourable for the development of disease. Use a minimum water volume of 50 L/ha. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Consult nozzle manufacturers recommendaton for spray pressures for specific nozzles.

Instructions for Aerial Applications
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.
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.
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.
Do not apply to any body of water. Avoid drifting of spray onto any body of water or other non-target areas. Specified buffer zones should be observed.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in fine particles (mist). Do not apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. Do not spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.

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 have 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.

Product Specific Precautions
Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-877-371-BASF (2273) or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.

Buffer Zone for Aerial Application
Aerial drift is increased under certain meteorological conditions. Do not apply during periods of dead calm, when winds are gusty or when wind speed is greater than 16 km/hour at flying height at the site of application.
For the protection of non-target habitats, overspray or drift to sensitive habitats must be avoided. A buffer zone of 5 metres is required between the downwind point of direct application and the closest edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats including grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, pastures, rangelands and shrublands. The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the downwind point of direct application and the closest edge of sensitive aquatic habitats such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, coulees, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands. Do not contaminate these habitats when cleaning and rinsing spray equipment or containers.


RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

Mode of Action
Metconazole, one of the active ingredients of TWINLINE Fungicide, is classified by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) as a Target Site of Action Group 3 Fungicide. Pyraclostrobin, the other active ingredient of TWINLINE Fungicide, is classified by FRAC as a Target Site of Action Group 11 Fungicide.

Resistance management
TWINLINE Fungicide contains metconazole, a Group 3 fungicide and pyraclostrobin, a Group 11 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Group 3 and 11 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 a site of action but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
The following recommendations may be considered to delay the development of fungicide resistance:
1. Applications: Where possible, rotate the use of TWINLINE Fungicide or other Group 3 or 11 fungicides with different groups that control the same pathogens. Adhere to the label instructions regarding the consecutive use of TWINLINE Fungicide or other target site of action Group 3 or 11 fungicides that have a similar site of action on the same pathogens. To maintain the performance of TWINLINE Fungicide in the field, do not exceed the total number of sequential applications of TWINLINE Fungicide and the total number of applications of TWINLINE Fungicide per season as stated below in the Restrictions and Limitiations table.
2. IPM: TWINLINE Fungicide should be integrated into an overall disease and pest management program. 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.
3. Monitor: Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in the disease management program against the targeted pathogen and record other factors that may influence fungicide performance and/or disease 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.
4. Reporting: If a Group 3 or 11 target site fungicide, such as TWINLINE Fungicide, appears to be less or no longer effective against a pathogen that it previously controlled or suppressed, contact a BASF-representative, local extension specialist, or certified crop advisor to assist in determining the cause of reduced performance.
5. Consult your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or BASF for additional IPM strategies established for your area. TWINLINE Fungicide may be used in Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs, which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.
