Product Information
This package contains Imbrex Xemium brand fungicide, an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) containing the active ingredient fluxapyroxad. The active ingredient in
Imbrex belongs to the succinate-dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibitor class of fungicides. To maximize disease control, apply Imbrex in a regularly scheduled protection spray program and use in a rotation program with other fungicides. Because of its high specific activity, Imbrex has good residual activity against target fungi.
Imbrex is not for use in greenhouse or transplant production.

Mode of Action
Fluxapyroxad, the active ingredient of Imbrex, belongs to the group of respiration inhibitors classified by the U.S. EPA and Canada PMRA as a target site of action Group 7 fungicide.

Resistance Management
Imbrex contains fluxapyroxad, a Group 7 fungicide, and is effective against pathogens resistant to fungicides with modes of action different from those of target site Group 7, such as dicarboximides, sterol inhibitors, benzimidazoles, or phenylamides. Fungal isolates resistant to Group 7 fungicides may eventually dominate the fungal population if Group 7 fungicides are used predominantly and repeatedly in the same field in successive years as the primary method of control for the targeted pathogen species. This may result in reduction of disease control by Imbrex or other Group 7 fungicides. To maintain the performance of Imbrex in the field, DO NOT exceed the specified number of consecutive applications of Imbrex or the total number of applications of Imbrex per season stated in Table 1. Imbrex Xemium8 brand fungicide Restrictions and Limitations Overview and Table 2. Imbrex Xemium brand fungicide Crop-specific Directions. Adhere to the label instructions regarding the consecutive use of Imbrex or other target site of action Group 7 fungicides that have a similar site of action on the same pathogens.
The following recommendations may be considered to delay the development of fungicide resistance:
1. Tank mixtures - Use Imbrex in tank mixtures with fungicides from different target site of action groups that are registered/permitted for the same use and that are effective against the pathogens of concern. Use at least the minimum labeled rates of each fungicide in the tank mix.
2. IPM - Integrate Imbrex into an overall disease and pest management program. Follow cultural practices known to reduce disease development. Consult your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or BASF representative for additional IPM strategies established for your area. Imbrex may be used in agricultural extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs, which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.
3. Monitoring — Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in the disease management program against the targeted pathogen and record other factors that may influence fungicide performance and/or disease development. If a Group 7 target site fungicide such as Imbrex appears to be less or no longer effective against a pathogen that it previously controlled or suppressed, contact a BASF representative, local extension specialist, or certified crop advisor for further investigation.

Application Instructions
Apply Imbrex at rates and timings as required in this label. Use Precautions for Sprinkler Irrigation Applications
• This product can be applied through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irrigation systems. DO NOT apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
• Add Imbrex to the pesticide supply tank containing sufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by the injection equipment. In continuous moving systems, inject this product-water mixture continuously, applying the labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT exceed 1/2 inch (13,577 gallons) of water per acre. In stationary or noncontinuous moving systems, inject the product-water mixture in the last 15 to 30 minutes of each set allowing sufficient time for all of the required pesticide to be applied by all the sprinkler heads and applying the labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good control. Maintain good agitation during the entire application period.
• Contact a state extension service specialist, equipment manufacturers or other experts for calibration questions.
• The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from backflow.
• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
• The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
• 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.
• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump), effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
• Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
• DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place.
• DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
