USE INFORMATION

CONVOY Fungicide is a systemic fungicide for control of White mold, Southern stem rot, Southern blight (Sclerotium rolfsii) and the Limb/Pod rot complex caused by Rhizoctonia solani in peanuts and wirestem in brassica (cole) leafy vegetables. If other diseases are present in the field, CONVOY Fungicide can be tank mixed with other fungicides registered for use on those diseases.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

For resistance management, CONVOY Fungicide belongs to the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor class (FRAC Group 7). Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to CONVOY Fungicide and other Group 7 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Nichino America, Inc. encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on this label. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. To delay fungicide/bactericide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:

• Rotate the use of CONVOY Fungicide or other Group (FRAC Group 7) fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.

• Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer.

• Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation and which 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. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance.

• Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.

• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.

MIXING DIRECTIONS

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.

CONVOY Fungicide Alone: Fill spray tank with ¾ of the amount of water needed for the intended application and then turn on agitation. Pour specified amount of product on the surface of the water in the spray tank. Add the balance of the water to the spray tank with agitation running. Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load. Mix only as much spray solution as can be sprayed within four hours. Storage and use of the previous dayʼs spray mix may result in reduced activity.

CONVOY Fungicide in Tank Mixtures: Begin with clean equipment. Fill spray tank with ¾ of the amount of water needed for the intended application and turn on agitation. If using a buffering agent, add after filling the tank with ¾ amount of water. Do not use oil as carrier or include other additives in the finished spray. Add the recommended amount of tankmix products in the following order while maintaining agitation: 1) products in water-soluble packets 2) wettable powders 3) water-dispersible granulars and/or soluble powders 4) flowable liquids (including CONVOY Fungicide) 5) emulsifiable concentrates 6) adjuvants and/or oils 7) remaining amount of water to achieve the desired level Always follow the labeled mixing instructions of any partner products. Keep agitation running during filling and spraying operations. If spraying must be stopped before emptying the sprayer, resume agitation before spraying the remainder of the load. Mix only as much spray solution as can be sprayed within four hours. Storage and use of the previous dayʼs spray mix may result in reduced activity.
