PRODUCT INFORMATION
Flint Fungicide is a broad spectrum fungicide for the control of certain diseases when using foliar applications on asparagus, cucurbit vegetables, fruiting vegetables, grapes, grasses grown for seed, hops, leafy petiole vegetables, pome fruits, root vegetables, strawberries, and tropical fruits.  Flint Fungicide works by interfering with respiration in plant pathogenic fungi. Flint Fungicide is a potent inhibitor of spore germination and mycelial growth.
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE TO EXTENDED  INFECTION PERIODS, ADDITIONAL FUNGICIDE APPLICATIONS BEYOND THE  NUMBER ALLOWED BY THIS LABEL MAY BE  NEEDED. UNDER THESE CONDITIONS, USE ANOTHER FUNGICIDE REGISTERED FOR THE CROP/DISEASE APPEARING ON THIS LABEL. DO NOT APPLY FLINT FUNGICIDE TO CONCORD GRAPES OR CROP INJURY MAY OCCUR.
GREENHOUSE APPLICATIONS: DO NOT APPLY THIS PRODUCT IN GREENHOUSES

USE DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC CROPS
Flint Fungicide provides control or suppression of several important diseases when using foliar applications on asparagus, cucurbit vegetables, fruiting vegetables, grapes, grasses grown for seed, hops, leafy petiole vegetables, pome fruits, root vegetables, strawberries, and tropical fruit.  When reference is made to disease suppression, suppression can mean either erratic control from good to fair or consistent control at a level below that obtained with the best commercial disease control products.

ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS
Areas planted with trifloxystrobin treated seeds or treated crops on this label may be replanted immediately following harvest with any crop for which a trifloxystrobin tolerance exists. For crops without trifloxystrobin tolerances, do not plant back within 30 days of last application.

This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry  interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the  restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything  that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water is:
- Coveralls
- Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material.
- Shoes plus socks

Resistance Management
Flint Fungicide belongs to the QoI (Group 11) target site of action group and exhibits no known cross-resistance to other chemical classes including sterol inhibitors, dicarboximides, benzimidazoles, anilinopyrimidines, or phenylamides.  Trifloxystrobin (the active ingredient in Flint Fungicide) exhibits cross-resistance to other Group 11 fungicides such as azoxystrobin and kresoxim-methyl.  When products with the same mode of action are used repeatedly, fungal pathogens can develop resistance to those products. 
Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area.  Such strategies may include rotation and/or tank mixing with products having different modes of action, or limiting the total number of applications per season. 
The North American Fungicide Resistance Action Committee - QoI Working Group (NA-FRAC) recommends: 1) QoI fungicides be used in a preventative manner. 2) When employing tank mixtures for resistance management, use fungicides from different target site Groups that are registered or permitted for the same use, are effective against the pathogen of concern, and are used at not less than the minimum-labeled rates of each fungicide in the tank mix.  3) For resistance management purposes, in-furrow applications utilizing Group 11 fungicides are not counted as foliar applications to determine the maximum number of sequential sprays or the total number of sprays per season.
Follow the specific crop use directions that limit the total number of sprays on a crop and the required alternations with fungicides from other resistance management groups as directed on this label.  In situations requiring multiple fungicide sprays, develop season long spray programs for Flint Fungicide and other Group 11 fungicides.  In a program using a Group 11  fungicide as a solo product, the number of applications should be no more than 1/3 of the total number of fungicide applications per season.  In programs in which tank mixes or pre-mixes of a Group 11 fungicide  together with a fungicide of another Group are utilized, the number of Group  11 fungicide applications should be no more than 1/2 of the total number  of fungicide applications per season.  In programs in which applications  of Group 11 fungicides are made with both solo products and mixtures,  the number of Group 11 fungicide applications should be no more than  1/2 of the total number of fungicide applications per season.  Bayer  CropScience encourages responsible resistance management to ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on this label.
IPM: Applications of fungicides should be integrated into an overall disease  and pest management program.  Cultural practices known to reduce disease  development should be followed.  Consult your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or manufacturer representative for additional  IPM strategies established for your area. Flint Fungicide may be used in  Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting or risk assessment)  programs that recommend application timings based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.
Product performance:  Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in the disease management program against the targeted pathogen by recording factors that may influence fungicide performance and/or disease development.  If a fungicide appears to be less effective against a pathogen that it previously controlled or suppressed, contact a manufacturer representative, local extension specialist, or certified crop advisor for further investigation.
Spray Equipment
Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control.   Applications using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage generally provide the most effective disease control.  For ground application equipment, a minimum of 50 gals. /A is specified for tree crops and 10 gals. /A for other crops.  
Air Blast Sprayers
Air assisted or air blast sprayers move spray droplets into the crop canopy using a forced air system.  The fan should be set up to deliver only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage.  Adjust deflectors or other aiming devices to direct spray only to the target area.
Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application.  Check whirl plates and nozzle discs for wear and replace as necessary.  Calibrate the sprayer before use.
Use a pump with a capacity to maintain the correct rated pressure for the nozzles selected.  Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the mixture in suspension.  Use jet agitators, a liquid sparge tube, or mechanical paddles for agitation.
It is suggested that screens be used to prevent nozzles from clogging.  Screens placed after the tank and before the nozzles should be 50-mesh or coarser.  Check nozzle manufacturer’s directions.
Broadcast Ground Sprayers
Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application.  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 the capacity to:  (1) maintain a minimum of 35 psi at nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation 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 sparge tube for vigorous agitation.
Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging.  Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser.  Do not place a screen in the recirculation line.  Use 50-mesh  screens at the nozzles.  Check nozzle manufacturer’s directions.
For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturer’s and/or state directions.  For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural experiment station directions.
Mixing Procedures
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.
Flint Fungicide Alone: Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.  With the agitator running, add the Flint Fungicide to the tank.  Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.  Begin application of the solution after the Flint Fungicide has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water.  Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Flint Fungicide + Tank Mix Partners: Add 1/2 of the required amount of water  to the mix tank.  Start the agitator running before adding any tank mix partners.  In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order:  products packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables) such as Flint Fungicide, liquid flowables, liquids, and emulsifiable concentrates.  Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully and uniformly dispersed before adding the next product.  Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water.  Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Note:  When using Flint Fungicide in tank mixtures, all products in water- soluble packaging must be added to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including Flint Fungicide.  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.
If using Flint Fungicide in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/ sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations, which appear on the tank mix product label.  Do not exceed labeled rates and observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures.  This product 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.
Flint Fungicide is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, and foliar nutrient  products.  However, the physical compatibility of Flint Fungicide with tank mix partners should be tested before use.  To determine the physical compatibility of Flint Fungicide 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 specified on this label, the safety to the target crop should be confirmed.  To test for crop safety, apply Flint Fungicide to the  target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions for the target crop.
Aerial Application: Do not apply this product by aerial application.
Chemigation: Do not apply this product  through any type of irrigation system.

DIRECTIONS TO AVOID SPRAY DRIFT
Do not make applications when conditions favor drift beyond the target application area.  When drift may be a problem, take measures to reduce drift, including:
1. Do not spray if wind speeds are or become excessive.  Do not spray if wind  speed is 15 mph or greater.  If nontarget crops are located downwind, use  caution when spraying if wind is present.  Do not spray if winds are gusty.
2. Use caution when conditions are favorable for drift (high temperatures, drought, low relative humidity).
3. Do not apply when a temperature inversion exists.  If inversion conditions are suspected, consult with local weather services before making an application.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

Pesticide Storage:Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area.
