DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult
the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Mycoshield contains oxytetracycline, a Group 41 antibiotic/bactericide/fungicide. Bacterial strains/fungal isolates with
acquired resistance to Group 41 may eventually dominate the bacterial/fungal population if Group 41
bactericides/fungicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control
for targeted species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by Mycoshield or other Group 41
products.
To delay antibiotic/fungicide/bactericide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Use only the specified and full strength application rates.
x The mode of action for oxytetracycline is the inhibition of protein synthesis. This product should be used to treat or
prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by the indicated target bacteria. To reduce
likelihood of bacteria developing resistance to oxytetracycline, follow the crop specific resistance management and
use direction information present on this labeling. Use of this product should conform to resistance management
practices/strategies established for the crop and use area (for example, the use of IPM, disease forecasting
models, resistant crop varieties, etc.). Consult your local extension/crop consultant or state agricultural authority if
reduced efficacy is suspected.
x Adopt an integrated disease management program 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 applications.
x Avoid the consecutive use of Mycoshield or other target site of action Group 41 products that have a similar target
site of action, on the same pathogens.
x Use tank-mixtures or premixes with products from different target site of action Groups as long as the involved
products are all registered for the same use and are both effective at the tank mix or prepack rate on the
pathogen(s) of concern. Do not use any product that has a prohibition on tank mixing and follow the more restrictive
use directions.
x When feasible, Mycoshield should be alternated with a comparable bactericide with a different mode of action.
x Base use on a comprehensive IPM program.
x Monitor treated bacterial/fungal populations for loss of field efficacy.
x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or manufacturer for fungicide/bactericide
resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and resistant pathogens.
