PRODUCT INFORMATION
Apply THIOPHANATE METHYL 50W with ground equipment, using sufficient volume of spray to provide thorough coverage. Add required amount of THIOPHANATE METHYL 50W to a partially filled tank, agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means and then add remaining required amount of water. Continuous agitation is required to keep the material in suspension. Do not tank mix with copper containing materials or with highly alkaline pesticides including Bordeaux mixture of lime sulfur. No claim of compatibility with other pesticides is implied. Use the higher rates under conditions of severe disease pressure. Also see local State Extension Service directions for application schedules. IMPORTANT, if after using THIOPHANATE METHYL 50W as directed a treatment is not effective, a resistant strain of fungi may be present. Consult your local State Agricultural Extension Service for advice on the prompt use of some other suitable fungicide.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, THIOPHANATE METHYL 50W contains a Group 1 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to THIOPHANATE METHYL 50W and other Group 1 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of THIOPHANATE METHYL 50W or other Group 1 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. Argite, LLC does not recommend the use of products containing thiabendazole in combination or rotation with THIOPHANATE METHYL 50W. These utilize similar chemistry and mode of action and can contribute to development of disease tolerance.
x Use tank mixtures with fungicide 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Argite, LLC at 984-664- 9804. You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR APPLICATION
Instructions for Using Water Soluble Bags Directly into Spray Tanks: Water Soluble Bags (WSBs) are designed to dissolve in water. Agitation may be used, if
necessary, to help dissolve the WSB. Failure to follow handling and mixing instructions can increase your exposure to the pesticide products in WSBs. WSBs, when used properly, qualify as a closed mixing/loading system under the Agricultural Worker Protection Standard [40 CFR 170.607(d)].

Handling Instructions
Follow these steps when handling pesticide products in WSBs.
1. Mix in spray tank only.
2. Handle WSB(s) in a manner that protects package from breakage and/or unintended release of contents. If package is broken, put on PPE required for clean-up and then continue with mixing instructions.
3. Keep the WSB(s) in outer packaging until just before use.
4. Keep the WSB dry prior to adding to the spray tank.
5. Handle with dry gloves and according to the label instructions for PPE.
6. Keep WSB intact. Do not cut or puncture WSB.
7. Reseal the WSB outer packaging to protect any unused WSB(s).

Mixing Instructions
Follow the steps below when mixing this product, including if tank mixed with other pesticide products. If being tank mixed, the mixing directions 1 through 9 below take precedence over the mixing directions of the other tank mix products. WSBs may, in some cases, be mixed with other pesticide products so long as the directions for use of all mixed products do not conflict. Do not tank mix this product with products that prohibit tank mixing or have conflicting mixing directions.
1. If a basket or strainer is present in the tank hatch, remove prior to adding the WSB to the tank.
2. Fill tank with water to approximately one-third to one-half of the desired final volume of spray.
3. Stop adding water and stop any agitation.
4. Place intact/unopened WSB(s) into the tank.
5. Do not spray water from a hose or fill pipe to break or dissolve the WSB(s).
6. Start mechanical and recirculation agitation from the bottom of tank without using any overhead recirculation, if possible. If overhead recirculation cannot be turned off, close the hatch before starting agitation.
7. Dissolving the WSB(s) may take up to 5 minutes or longer, depending on water temperature, water hardness and intensity of agitation.
8. Stop agitation before tank lid is opened.
9. Open the lid to the tank, exercising caution to avoid contact with dusts or spray mix, to verify that the WSBs have fully dissolved and the contents have been thoroughly mixed into the solution.
10. Do not add other allowed products or complete filling the tank until the bags have fully dissolved and pesticide is thoroughly mixed.
11. Once the WSB have fully dissolved and any other products have been added to the tank, resume filling the tank with water to the desired level, close the tank lid, and resume agitation.
12. Use the spray solution when mixing is complete.
13. Maintain agitation of the diluted pesticide mix during transport and application.
14. It is unlawful to use any registered pesticide, including WSBs, in a manner inconsistent with its label.
TANK MIXING: To broaden the spectrum of fungicidal control this product can be mixed with other fungicides including iprodione 50% wettable powders, iprodione 2 lb/gallon liquids, chlorothalonil 6 lb/gallons liquids, vinclozolin 50% extruded granules, triadimefon 50% wettable powders, fenarimal 1 lb/gallon liquids, PCNB 75% wettable powders, thiram 75% wettable powders, mancozeb wettable powders or propiconazole 1.3 lb/gallon liquids for use on turf and ornamentals. Use only in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such 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 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.
NOTE: Residential use is prohibited for several of the other fungicides listed as possible tank mix components. Do not apply tank mixtures of these products to residential areas unless the label of the other fungicide specifically allows residential uses.
Tank mix products containing boron or releasable free chlorine will affect the solubility of watersoluble (PVA) film. Thoroughly rinse the spray tank of any boron containing spray solution prior to adding any water-soluble bags. Even minimal carryover concentrations of boron in the spray tank may cause the water soluble bag material dissolved in water to precipitate and form insoluble residue inside the spray tank.
