PRODUCT INFORMATION

USE RESTRICTIONS • DO NOT use this product in greenhouses.

• DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas to non-target aquatic habitat.

• DO NOT apply this product within 150 feet (for aerial and air-blast applications), or 25 feet (for ground applications) from marine/estuarine water bodies unless there is an untreated buffer area of that width between the area to be treated and the water body.

• DO NOT spray this product where spray drift may reach apple trees. This product is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple varieties. AVOID SPRAY DRIFT. Extreme care must be used to prevent injury to apply trees and apple fruit. DO NOT use spray equipment which has been previously used to apply this product to spray apple trees. Even trace amounts can cause unacceptable phytotoxicity to certain apple and crabapple varieties.

• DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond the area intended for application. Conditions which may contribute to drift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction, sprayer nozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size, etc. Contact your State Extension agent for drift prevention guidelines in your area.

MIXING, LOADING AND APPLYING

This product is intended to be diluted into water and then applied to crops by typical agricultural spraying techniques. Always apply in suffi cient water to obtain thorough, uniform coverage of foliage and crop surfaces intended to be protected from disease. Spray volume to be used will vary with crop and amount of plant growth. Spray volume should normally range from 20 to 150 gallons per acre (200 to 1400 liters per hectare) for dilute sprays and 5 to 10 gallons per acre (50 to 100 liters per hectare) for concentrate ground sprays and aircraft applications. Both ground and aircraft methods of application are allowed unless specifi c directions are given for a crop. Use ground application, when appropriate, as it provides better canopy penetration and crop coverage. To prepare spray solution, partially fi ll a clean spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Measure the required amount of this product and pour into the spray tank. Slowly invert container several times to assure uniform mixture. Once the specifi ed amount of this product has been thoroughly dispersed throughout the spray tank, the adjuvant (if advised) may be added to the spray tank. If tank mixing this product with other pesticide products, add the other products in the following order: water dispersible granules or dry fl owable formulations, wettable powders, and aqueous suspensions. Finish fi lling the spray tank to the appropriate volume to obtain the desired spray concentration. Keep agitator running when fi lling spray tank and during spray operations. Clean sprayer thoroughly immediately after applying this product. Apply the spray mixture as soon as possible after preparation. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or product degradation may occur. If the pH of the spray mix is greater than 7, either add a buffering agent to reduce the pH to 7 or less or apply the spray mixture immediately. Tank Mixing It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, 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. When tank mixing this product with other pesticides, observe the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed any label dosage rates. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Do not combine this product in the sprayer tank with pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers, unless your prior use has shown the combination physically compatible, effective, and noninjurious under your conditions of use. Do not combine this product with DiPel® or Latron® B-1956, as phytotoxicity may result from the combination when applied to the crops on this label. DO NOT tank mix this product with oil, or with any adjuvants which contain oil as their principal ingredient. This product may have phytotoxic effects when mixed with products that are formulated as EC’s. These effects are enhanced if made under cool, cloudy conditions and these conditions remain for several days following application. Additionally, adjuvants containing silicone have also contributed to phytotoxicity. This product may be incompatible with fertilizers when low water volumes are used. Cold temperatures and water quality exacerbate these compatibility problems. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, use a Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) certifi ed adjuvant. Applications through Sprinkler Irritation Systems (Chemigation) Apply this product only through center pivot, motorized lateral move, traveling gun, solid set and portable (wheel move, side roll, end tow, or hand move) irrigation system(s). DO NOT apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Use only on crops specifi cally designated in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.

DO NOT apply this product through irrigation systems connected to a public water system. ‘Public water system’ means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days per year. Controls for both irrigation water and pesticide injection systems must be functionally interlocked, so as to automatically terminate pesticide injection when the irrigation water pump motor stops. A person knowledgeable of the irrigation system and responsible for its operation shall be present so as to discontinue pesticide injection and make necessary adjustments, should the need arise. The irrigation water pipeline must be fi tted with a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the fl ow of treated irrigation water back toward the water source. The pipeline must also be fi tted with a vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain, located between the irrigation water pump and the check valve, to prevent back-siphoning of treated irrigation water into the water source. Always inject this product into irrigation water after it discharges from the irrigation pump and after it passes through the check valve. Never inject pesticides into the intake line on the suction side of the pump. Pesticide injection equipment must be fi tted with a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump. Interlock this valve to the power system, so as to prevent fl uid from being withdrawn from the chemical supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually turned off. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the fl ow of fl uid back toward the injection pump. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Spray mixture in the chemical supply tank must be agitated at all times, otherwise settling and uneven application may occur. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. This product may be used through two basic types of sprinkler irrigation systems as outlined in Sections A and B below. Determine which type of system is in place, then refer to the appropriate directions provided for each type.
