Product Information
Integral liquid biofungicide contains bacteria that colonize germinating seeds and inhibit seed pathogens such as Alternaria spp. The same bacteria then colonize
the developing root systems of plants and suppress disease organisms that attack such root systems (e.g., Fusarium spp., Rhizoctonia spp. and under some
conditions, Pythium spp.). As root systems develop, the bacteria grow with the roots, extending the protection throughout the growing season. Because of this biological protection, vigorous root systems are established by plants, which often results in more uniform stands, and greater yields.
In addition, Integral has been shown to increase root nodulation by nitrogen-fixing bacteria when used on legumes. This increase in nodulation is a result of a healthier root system allowing formation of more sites for nitrogen-fixing nodules.

Use Limitations
Chemigation: DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.

Application Instructions
For Use as an In-Furrow Treatment Mixing Instructions: Apply Integral liquid biofungicide as a water-based slurry alone, or with other in-furrow products (fungicides, insecticides, nematicides, fertilizers, etc.). Additionally, rhizobial inoculant products, such as BASF’s Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant, can be added to the tank mix. Prior to mixing, determine physical compatibility by mixing proportional quantities of the products in water. DO NOT mix Integral with any other in-furrow product that bears a label prohibition against such mixing. When tank mixing Integral with any other in-furrow product, observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures.
ATTENTION: If rhizobial inoculants are to be used in the tank mix with other in-furrow treatments (fungicides, insecticides, nematicides, fertilizers, etc.), make sure that they are compatible (not harmful) to the Rhizobia. Likewise, use only cool, chlorine-free water in the tank mix. If one or more treatments are not compatible (harmful), mix those products in, and apply them from, a separate mix tank. To mix, first add the other in-furrow product(s) and/or the rhizobial inoculant product(s) to the mix tank with approximately 1/2 of the required water. Slowly add Integral to the slurry until a uniform suspension is obtained. Add the remainder of the water while maintaining constant agitation. DO NOT store mixed slurries for longer than 24 hours.
Application Instructions: For preventative control and suppression of seed pathogens (e.g., Alternaria spp.) and plant root pathogens (e.g., Rhizoctonia spp. and
Fusarium spp.), apply Integral in 2.5 to 20 gal (9 to 76 L) of water per acre via standard agricultural application machinery. Some ingredients in Integral may not completely solubilize; therefore, it is important to maintain a uniform suspension by continuously agitating the solution throughout the application process. DO NOT exceed label application dosage rates. Cotton, Sunflower, Olives, Sesame, Sugar Beet, Potato, Sweet Potato, Wheat, Sorghum, Legume Vegetables (Succulent or Dried) Crop Group, Soybeans, and Corn (Field, Seed, Sweet and Popcorn) Apply at a rate of 0.1 to 16 fl ozs (3 to 473 mL) of Integral per acre, after following the mixing and dilution procedures described above. Use the high end of the specified application rate when severe disease pressure is anticipated.
Peanuts - Integral Only
Apply at a rate of 0.1 to 1.2 fl ozs (3 to 35 mL) of Integral per acre, after following the mixing and application procedures described above. Use the high end of the specified application rate when severe disease pressure is anticipated.
Peanuts - Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant Plus Integral
Integral can also be used in conjunction with Rhizobiabased inoculant products, such as BASF’s Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant. When used in combination
with the Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant, Integral provides the additional benefit of improving the nodulation of the roots by Rhizobia bacteria in the Vault
Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant. The Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant consists of one (1) plastic bladder containing 1.1 gal (4.2 L). The Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant is co-packed in the same box with one (1) 3.4 fl ozs (100 mL) plastic bottle of Integral. One (1) Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant and one (1) 3.4 fl ozs (100 mL) bottle of Integral are designed be used together to treat approximately 10 acres of peanuts.
Note that Integral is designed to work with the Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant. Furthermore, the Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant does not affect the activity of Integral. Mix the one (1) plastic bottle of Integral with the one (1) plastic bladder of Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant, and an appropriate quantity of chlorine-free water. For more detailed mixing instructions see directions on the outside panel of the Vault Liquid Peanut Rhizobial Inoculant Plus Integral co-pack box.
