Application instructions (Brassica leafy vegetables and bulb vegetables):
All Soil Surface (Drench), Shanked-In, Injected and InFurrow Applications:
Mix 2 qt (64 fl oz) to 6 qt (192 fl oz) of Serenade Soil in the appropriate amount of water per acre. Use the stated higher application rates when the weather conditions are expected to be conducive to disease development, if the field has a history of disease problems, or if minimum/ low till programs are in place. Serenade Soil can be mixed with chemical fungicides registered for soil applications.
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications At Planting: Use at planting, seeding or transplant. Apply finished spray mixture, at a rate to thoroughly soak the growing media through the root zone, as a drench or directed spray using hand-held, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as a chemigation drench or directed spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems.
Shanked-In and Injected Applications: Serenade Soil can be shanked-in or injected into the soil prior to-, at-, or post-planting/transplanting of crops alone or with most types of liquid nutrients.
In-Furrow Applications: For in-furrow applications, apply Serenade Soil as an infurrow spray in the appropriate amount of water per acre for the crop at planting. Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed in the furrow just before the seeds are covered.
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications At Any Stage of Growth: Apply the finished spray mixture to the surface of the soil as a drench or directed spray using hand-held, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as a chemigation drench or directed spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems.

PREHARVEST INTERVAL
Serenade Soil can be applied up to and on the day of harvest.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
SPRAY DRIFT: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower/treatment coordinator are responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
GROUND: This product can be applied by commonly used ground equipment, such as hose-end, pressurized, greenhouse and hand-held sprayers. Consult spray nozzle and accessory catalogues for specific information on proper equipment calibration. Maintain agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform product suspension. Thorough coverage of soil surface is essential for effective disease control or suppression. Use the application rate, indicated for the appropriate crop in the Application Rate tables of this label, in sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage. Overall, to achieve good coverage, use proper spray pressure, gallonage per acre, nozzles, nozzle spacing and ground speed.
CHEMIGATION: This product can be applied through sprinkler (center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, solid set, or hand move) or drip-type irrigation systems. Refer to the Chemigation Directions for Use section of this label for additional directions and precautions. Maintain agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform product suspension. Use the application rate, indicated for the appropriate crop in the Application Rate tables of this label, in sufficient water to achieve through coverage.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
MIXING: Serenade Soil must be diluted with water. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the specified amount of Serenade Soil to the tank. Finish filling the tank to the necessary volume to obtain the proper spray concentration. It is critical that the spray solution be agitated during mixing and application to assure a uniform suspension. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. Maintain a spray solution pH between 4.5 and 8.5.
Serenade Soil may be tank mixed with other registered pesticides to enhance plant disease control or suppression. This product cannot be mixed with any product with a prohibition against such mixing. When tank mixing Serenade Soil with other registered pesticides, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both Serenade Soil and the tank-mix partner(s). Use of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates.
COMPATIBILITY: Do not combine Serenade Soil in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers if there has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and non-injurious under your use conditions.
Serenade Soil is compatible with many commonly used pesticides, fertilizers, adjuvants and surfactants but has not been fully evaluated with all of these. To ensure compatibility of tank-mix combinations, evaluate them prior to use as follows: Using a suitable container, add proportional amounts of product to water. Add wettable powders first, followed by water dispersible granules, then by liquid flowables and lastly, emulsifiable concentrates. Mix thoroughly and let stand for at least five minutes. If the combination stays mixed or can be remixed, it is physically compatible. Test the combination on a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of application.
ADDITIVES: Serenade Soil is compatible with a wide range of additives.

Mix 2 qt (64 fl oz) to 6 qt (192 fl oz) of Serenade Soil in the appropriate amount of water per acre. Use the stated higher rates when the weather conditions are expected to be conducive for disease development, if the field has a history of disease problems, or if minimum/low till programs are in place. Serenade Soil can be mixed with chemical fungicides registered for soil applications.
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications at Planting: Use at planting, seeding, or transplant. Apply finished spray mixture, at a rate to thoroughly soak the growing media through the root zone, as a drench or directed spray using hand-held, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as a chemigation drench or directed spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems.
Shanked-In or Injected Applications: Serenade Soil can be shanked-in or injected into the soil prior to-, at-, or post- planting/ transplanting of crops alone or with most types of liquid nutrients.
In-Furrow Applications:
For in-furrow applications, apply Serenade Soil as an in-furrow spray in the required amount of water per acre for the crop at planting. Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed in the furrow just before the seeds are covered.
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications at Any Stage of Growth: Apply the finished spray mixture to the surface of the soil as a drench or directed spray using hand-held, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as a chemigation drench or directed spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. When applying as a spray (e.g., via hydraulic nozzles at low volumes), it is important to irrigate to move the material into the seed, root or transplant zone. Normal operation of overhead sprinklers and drip irrigation systems are sufficient for effective applications. Optimal performance is obtained with preventative treatments repeated every 21 to 28 days throughout the growing cycle.
