PRODUCT INFORMATION

Altipro:

• is a broad-spectrum fungicide for the control of certain diseases on labeled crops;

• works by interfering with both energy and cell membrane production by plant pathogenic fungi.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Altipro may be applied by ground, air, or chemigation. • Use of an adjuvant may enhance the performance of Altipro.

• Properly calibrate equipment before use.

Aerial Application

Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. DO NOT apply directly to humans or animals. Refer to specific crop sections for water carrier volumes.

Ground Application

Applications using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage generally provide the most effective disease control. Refer to specific crop sections for water carrier volume recommendations.

Ground Application (Broadcast) Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Nozzle selection, spraying pressures, carrier volume and application speeds are critical for maximum efficacy. Operate nozzles within the pressures specified by the manufacturer. Adjust application speeds to allow for canopy penetration and coverage of the leaf surface. Be certain that nozzles are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. Calibrate the sprayer before use and replace worn or damaged nozzles. Use a pump with sufficient agitation capacity in the tank to keep the mixture in suspension. This requires recirculation of 10% of the tank volume per minute. Use jet agitators or a liquid spurge tube for vigorous agitation. Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Check nozzle manufacturer’s specifications. For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturer’s and/or state specifications. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the state agricultural experiment station.

COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS

It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. No label dosage rate may be exceeded. Altipro must not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are registered. When using Altipro in tank mixtures, add products in water-soluble packaging to the tank before any other tank-mix partner, including Altipro. Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank-mix partner to the tank.

Compatibility

Altipro is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, and foliar nutrient products. However, test the physical compatibility of Altipro with tank-mix partners before use. To determine the physical compatibility of Altipro with other products, use a jar test, as described below. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. The crop safety of all potential tank mixes including additives and other pesticides on all crops has not been tested. Before applying any tank mixture not included on this label, test the safety to the target crop. To test for crop safety, apply Altipro to the target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions for the target crop.

Order of Mixing

Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. DO NOT let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area. Altipro Alone: Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add Altipro to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after Altipro has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
