DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Read entire label before using this product. 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 State or Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
APPLICATION THROUGH SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
Use of QUANTA through chemigation is not permitted in California. Apply this product through drip, microjet, solid set and center pivot sprinkler irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
PREPARATION OF INJECTION EQUIPMENT: Remove pesticide, scale residues and other foreign matter from the chemical tank and entire injection system. Flush with clean water.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: Fill tank with one half to three quarters the desired amount of water. Start hydraulic or mechanical agitation. Add the required amount of QUANTA then the remaining volume of water. Set sprinkler to deliver 0.1 to 0.3 inch of water per acre. Start sprinkler and uniformly inject the solution of QUANTA into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the rate per acre. Inject the QUANTA solution with a positive displacement pump into the main line before a right angle turn to ensure adequate mixing. For other questions about calibration, contact equipment manufacturers, State Extension Service specialists or other experts.
NOTE: For Microjet and Drip Irrigation Systems: After treatment with QUANTA has been completed, avoid further irrigation of the treated area for 24 hours to 48 hours. For Solid Set and Center Pivot Irrigation Systems: After treatment with QUANTA has been completed, avoid further irrigation of the treated area until foliage is dry to prevent washing the chemical off the crop.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR APPLICATION THROUGH SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
If you have any questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service Specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
Maintain continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure solution uniformly. The irrigation 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 towards the injection pump. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed solenoidoperated 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 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.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connection or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide uniform distribution or when lines containing the product must be dismantled and drained. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop may result from non-uniform distribution of chemigation water.
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and nozzles before turning off irrigation water. A person knowledgeable in chemigation system and responsible for its operation shall shut down and adjust the system as needed. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the label-prescribed safety devices for public water supplies are in place.
GENERAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
QUANTA may be applied by various application methods, including foliar spray, soil drench, soil incorporation and bare root dip. For foliar sprays, apply QUANTA with sufficient water volumes for adequate coverage of foliage, according to crop and growth stage. To ensure good coverage, spray to wetness, but avoid run-off.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Fill the spray tank with ¼-½ of the volume of water required before adding QUANTA.
2. Add QUANTA slowly to the tank and agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means.
3. Continue agitating as tank fills with water to the desired volume.
4. Maintain agitation during application.
COMPATIBILITY
QUANTA is compatible with most products used in agriculture. However, individual crop sensitivity to these mixtures may vary. Mixtures of QUANTA with some foliar fertilizers and copper products may not be compatible or may cause phytotoxicity to some plants. If these combinations or others have not been used previously, do not tank mix without first testing the compatibility of the tank mix. Do not appl tank mixture without first assessing its safety to the crop (phytotoxicity). Due to QUANTA‘s acidic nature, the use of acidifying-type compatibility agents are not recommended. If spray adjuvants are used they must be tested before use to confirm compatibility with QUANTA. A jar test should be used to confirm compatibility with QUANTA in a clean jar using the same water source that is normally used to fill spray tank, add the same proportions of each product and the appropriate quantity of water and mix thoroughly. Let stand for 3 minutes. If mixture remains in solution or can be remixed readily the tank mix is compatible. The solution that resulted from the above compatibility test should be sprayed onto a few plants and inspected for visual effects of phytotoxicity (leaf burn) 3 to 7 days later.
