Product Information Dithane R M-45 fungicide is a broad-spectrum protectant fungicide labeled for outdoor or greenhouse grown crops. Optimum disease control is achieved when the fungicide is applied in a regnjajly scheduled preventative spray program. The addition of an agricultural surfactant will improve fungicide performance by providing a more uniform spray deposit, increased foliar redistribution, and improved fungicide retention during periods or wet weather. Read all Directions for Use carefully before applying. Use Rate Determination Carefully read, understand, and follow label use rates and restrictions. Under lowdisease conditions, minimum label rates per application can be used while maximum label rates and the minimum interval may be used for severe orthreatening disease conditions. For proper application, determine the number of acres to be treated, the recommended label use rate and the gallonage to be applied per acre. Prepare only the amount of spray solution required to treat the measured acreage. Careful calibration of spray equipment is recom- mended prior to use. When applied by hand sprayers, 1 pound Dithane M-45 per 100 gallons per acre is equivalent to 1 level tablespoon per gallon spray solution. Mixing Observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank mix product label. No label dosage rate may be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed. This product may not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing. Slowly place into spray tank as it is being filled. Add other co-applied fungicides, insecticides, growth regulators, micronutrients, and spray adjuvants after Dithane M-45 has been placed into suspension. c c c When preparing spray solutions for use in a hand sprayer, premix as a Blurry, in a si fi a \\ container, and then add to sprayer containing 1/3 to 1/2 the desired final water v&lume. Compatibility \ue Dithane M-45 is compatible with most commonly used agricultural fungicides/incj'octicides arid growth regulators. When preparing tank .mixes, consult spray compatibilityc charts or(Stacte Cooperative Extension Service specialists prior to actual use. . ^. < • ^ '_ ( c ( I, C Spray Adjuvants The addition of agricultural surfactants to Dithane M-45 sprays will improve initial spray deposits, fungicide redistribution and weatherability. C •• C il(L < PAGE 5 Add Dithane M-45 to the spray mixture prior to adding an adjuvant. Follow applicable use directions, precautions and limitations on the label of the adjuvant product. Spray Drift Management A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g. wind direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of application (e.g. hand sprayer) can influence pesticide drift. The applicator must evaluate all factors and make appropriate adjustments when applying this product. Wind Speed Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 m.p.h. Temperature Inversions If applying at wind speeds less than 3 m.p.h., the applicator must determine if a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height. Do not make applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric condi- tions. Other State and Local Requirements Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of mancozeb. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Application Apply by hand sprayer only. Thoroughly spray plant foliage until runoff. Disease Monitoring Dithane M-45 is a broad-spectrum, protectant fungicide. If not applied on a routine protectant spray schedule, crops should be scouted on a weekly basis. Make fungicide application at the labeled use rate and spray schedule, at the first sign of disease, report of disease in the area, or during environmental conditions favorable for disease development. Restrictions Users must carefully read, understand, and follow all use restrictions prior to using Dithane M-45. Foliar Applications: Where EBDC Products Used Allow the Same Maximum Poundage of Active Ingredient Per Acre Per Season: If more than one product containing 'an 2f BDC active ingredient (maneb, mancozeb, ormetiram) is used on a crop during We same growing season and the EBDC products used allow the same maximum poundage of active ingredient per acre per season, then the totalpoundage of all such EBDC products usep"must not exceed any one of the specified individual EBDC product maximum seasonal poundage<-of -active ingredient allowed per acre. ^T^ • • ,. ,. C (. C | c i i e V L c Where EBDC Products Used Allow Different Maximum Poundage of Active Ingredient Per Acre Per Season: If more than one product containing an EBDC active ingrediervt isjjsed on a crop during the same growing season, and the EBDC products used allow different C C PAGE 6 maximum poundage of active ingredient per acre per season, then the total poundage of all such EBDC products used must not exceed the lowest specified individual EBDC product maximum seasonal poundage of active ingredient allowed per acre. ORNAMENTALS: Neither the manufacturer nor the seller has determined the effects of using Dithane M-45 fungicide on ornamentals not specified on this label. Prior to any large-scale applications on such plants; determine the effects of Dithane M-45 fungicide by testing a small section of the type of plants treated. For outdoor or greenhouse use, apply the equivalent of 1 1/2 Ib. of Dithane M-45 fungicide per 100 gallons of dilute spray. The addition of Latron 81956 to spray solutions will im- prove performance. Begin spraying when plants are well leafed out or at first sign of dis- ease, in a full coverage spray at 7 to 10 day intervals throughout season. fs Restrictions: * Cut flowers and greenhouse grown ornamentals: Limit to 20 applications per year. * Do not use for food or feed purposes * Minimum retreatment interval is 7 days * Not for use in residential greenhouses.
