PRODUCT INFORMATION

VELUM RISE is a broad-spectrum fungicide and nematicide for use in potatoes as a soil treatment for control or suppression of listed crop diseases and control or suppression of plant pathogenic nematodes.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

For resistance management, please note that VELUM RISE contains a Group 7 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to VELUM RISE and other Group 7 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these (fungicides) are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies must be followed. To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of VELUM RISE or other Group 7 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. • Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer. • Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use 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. • Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance. • Monitor treated fungal/bacterial populations for resistance development. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. • For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance. IPM: It is advised that applications of fungicides be integrated into an overall disease and pest management program, following cultural practices known to reduce disease development. Consult your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or manufacturer representative for additional IPM strategies established for your area. This product may be used in Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting or risk assessment) programs, which specify application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

In-furrow at-plant applications Apply in-furrow during planting operations. Direct applications into the open furrow and cover with soil. Pre-plant incorporated applications Apply as a broadcast application prior to planting operations and incorporate into soil using a rototiller or disc or similar implement. SPRAY MIXING AND COMPATIBILITY Begin with clean spray equipment and add one-half of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank and start agitation. Add the required quantity of fungicide and the tankmix partner if applicable to the water and complete filling with water to the required total volume. Follow the advice of your State Cooperative Extension Service for tank mixing with 5 other products. In general, follow the order beginning first with water conditioners, water soluble packaging (wait for it to completely dissolve), wettable powders and water dispersible granular products, liquid flowables and suspension concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, and adjuvants last. Maintain agitation throughout spraying. DO NOT allow spray mixture to remain in the tank overnight, or for long periods during the day without agitation. VELUM RISE is physically compatible with most commonly used fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, and foliar nutrient products. However, the compatibility of VELUM RISE with all potential tank-mix partners has not been fully investigated. Compatibility with other pesticides can be tested by conducting a jar test with the volumes and rates typically used in agricultural application. Using a small container of water, add the proportionate amounts of the products: wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 15 minutes. Look for signs of separation, globules, sludge, flakes, or other precipitates. Physical compatibility is indicated if the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily. The crop safety of all potential tank-mixes with VELUM RISE has not been tested on all crops listed on the label. Before applying any tank-mixture not specified on this label, safety to the target crop must be confirmed on a small portion of the crop listed on the label to be treated to ensure an adverse response will not occur. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
