GENERAL INFORMATION 3 ( ( ( ( , ( r (. l Ridomil Gok:I WSP is a systemiC fungicide for use on selected crops to control certain diseases caused by members of the Oomycete dass of fungi. Other fungtcides must be used to control diseases incited by other classes of fungi. THIS PROOUCT IS NOT TO BE USED IN FOLIAR APPLICATIONS, UNLESS SPECIFIED ON THIS, • LABEL OR IN SOLUTIONS USED TO DIP PLANTS. DO NOT USE IN NURSERIES, TURF, OR LAND- : SCAPE PLANTINGS, UNLESS SPECIFIED IN THIS LABEL. , , < -; /8 < , Ridomil Gold® WSP Note: Ridomil Gold WSP is a systemic fungicide having a specific mode of action and could be subiect to development of insensitive strains of fungi. Development of insensitivity cannot be predicted. Therefore, Syngenta cannot assume liability for crop damage resulting from insensitive slr.1ins of fungi. If treatment is not effective fonowmg the use of Aidomil Gold WSP as recommended, an insensitive strain of fungi may be presen1.lf the treatment is ineffective due to the presence of a Aidamil Gold WSP insen­ sitive strain of fungi, neither Rldomil Gold WSP nOf any other fungicide with similar action will effectively control that disease. Consideration should then be given to the prompt use of other types of suitable fungicides. Cansu" with your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service Specialist for guidance on your particular crop and disease control situation. Do not make foliar applications to field grown tobacco, or other crops, unless speci1ied since this prac­ tice may encourage more rapid development of insensitivity. THIS LABEL IS FOR FIELD USE ONLY AND IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE ON TRANSPLANT TRAYS, GREENHOUSES, LATH HOUSES, FLOAT HOUSES, HYDROPONIC PRODUCTION, OR IN BEDOING PLANT STRUCTURES. Where rate ranges are specified on this label, use the higher rate when heavy disease pressure is expected and the lower rate when disease pressure is expected to be light, unless otherwise noted. To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spri:l.y overlap, as CfOp injury may result. Mixing Instructions Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean sprayequip­ ment before using this product. Vigorous agitation Is necessary to dissolve the bag and disperse the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. 00 not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area. Precautions: (1) Water-soluble bags of Ridomil Gold WSP must be completely dissolved and dispersed in pla;n water before any other tank mix partner, including micronutrients or other liquid or dry fertilizers, are added to the spray solution. Boron, especially in the form of a micronutrient addWve, such as Solubor@, etc., or as a natural component of the mix water, may prevent water-soluble bags from dissolving. (2) When the spray carrier is primarily composed of liquid fertilizers (e.g., 10-34-0 or 9-18-9) soluble bags of Ridomil Gold WSP must be slurried in water following the procedure as outlined in Rldomll Gold WSP in Liquid Fertilizer. Ridomll Gold WSP Alone: Add 1/4 of the required amount of plain water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, drop the required number of unopened soluble bags of Ridomil Gold WSP into the tank all at once. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water Begin application of the spray solution after the bags have dissolved and the material has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agita­ tion until all of the mixture has been applied. BEFORE TANK MIXING RIDOMIL GOLD WSP WITH OTHER REGISTERED PRODUCTS FOR ANY USE ON THIS LABEL, READ THE LABEL OF THE TANK MIX PARTNER TO BE CERTAIN IT IS LABELED FOR USE ON THE PARTICULAR CROP AND THAT USE PATIERNS ARE COMPAnBLE WITH THOSE OF RIDOMIL GOLD WSP. Ridomil Gold WSP + Tank Mixtures: Ridomil Gold WSP is usually compatible with most commonty used insecticides, fungicides, and spray adjuvants. When using Ridomil Gold WSP in a tank mixture with other pestiCides, observe the most restrictive label limitations and precautions of the products being used. Add 1/4 of the required amount of ptain water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, drop the required number of unopened soIub(e bags of Ridomil Gctd WSp, and any other products packaged in water-soluble bags, into the tank all at once. After the water-soluble bags have dissolved and the products have dispersed uniformly into the mix water, continue to fill the tank with water. Then add the desired amount of other products recommended for tank mixture and allow them to become completely dispersed. Continue agitation to maintain a uniform suspension until ali of the spray solution has been applied. Aidomll Gold WSP In Liquid Fertilizer: Slurry Ridomil Gold WSP in water. Add a maximum of 4 unopened soluble bags of Ridamil Gold WSP to 5 gals. of clean water. Stir the solution until all of the soluble bag material has dissolved and the Ridomil Gold WSP has formed a smooth slurry. Add '/3 of the required amount of water and/or liquid fertilizer to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, add the R)domil Gold WSP slurry. tf adding other tank mix partners. add the products in the following order: Ridomil Gold WSP Slurry, wettable powders Of dispersible granules, and then emulsifiable concentrates. Allow each product to disperse before adding the next one, maintaining agitation the whole time. Triple rinse the Slurry container and add to the spray tank. Add the remainder of the water and/or fer­ tilizer and continue agitation. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. Application Instructions Apply Ridomil Gold WSP by ground or air in sufficient water to provide uniform coverage of the soil surface. Apply in a minimum of 20 gals./A for ground applications and 5 gals.fA by air. Refer to the specifiC crop direc­ tions for use for application recommendations. , ( .' C • f , ( , • • • • • . .... , • •• • Ridomil Gold® WSP For banded applications. the area actually is the area covered by the band, not tolal cropland area planted. Some row-crop recommendations are based on treating in-the-row and these rales generally are specified as amounts of product per certain row length (often 1,000 ft.). Others express rates as amount per treated acre which means the total area treated with the pesticide. If rates are expressed as amount per treated acre and banded applications are used, the amount of pesticide used per acre will be proportionately less. The following formula can be used to calculate the amount of Ridomil Gold WSP needed per acre 01 crop when banded applications are made: band width in inches raw spacing in inches X broadcast rate = per acre Application Through Irrigation Systems amount needed per acre of field Ridomil Gold WSP, alone or in combination with other fungicides which are registered for sprinkler irrigation, may be applied through irrigation systems. Apply this product only through center pivot, solid set, hand-move, moving wheel, micro-sprinkler, or drip irri­ gation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness. or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated water.

A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under the supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. Operating Instructions 1. The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropri­ ately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-source contamination from backflow. 2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being wTthdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically Of manually shut down. 4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pestiCide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure swild! which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. 6. 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. 7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Application Instructions Ridomil Gold WSP must be applied on the schedule specified in the specific crop use recommendations, not according to the irrigation schedule. If irrigation schedules are used, ground or aerial applications must supplement chemigation applications to achieve adequate disease control_ The following calibration and application techniques are provided for user reference, but do not constitute a warranty of fitness for application through sprinkler irrigation equipment. Users should check with state and locaJ regulatory agencies for potential use restrictions before applying any agricuttural chemical through sprinkler irrigation equipment. Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform distribution. (2) Do not use end guns when chemigating Ridomil Gold WSP through center pivot systems because of nonuniform application. (3) Plug the first nozzle closest to well head to protect water source. 1.

FCH' calirnation, substitute a ooncentrated detergent (sud"! as Wisk) fof the Ridomil Gold WSP in the injector tank. h is important to use the same volume of soap solution as the pmnned volume of Ridomil Gold WSP solution when calibrating the system. The detergent will bubble as it leaves the emitters. The time period over which bubbles occur should be d1ecked for both the closest and the farthest emitters. H these times are rd: within 2 minutes of each other. adjust the dilution ratio and/Of the injection rate. Step·by·Step Instructions 1. Before starting to calibrate, operate the system unti all the emitters are putting out at equal flow rates or until the system is operating at full pressure. 2. Make up an indicator solution of detergent Of fertilizer, using the same ratio to be used with mixing Aidomil Gold WSf' 3. Set the injector to apply the indicator solution at the injection rate to be used in the actual Aidomil G04d WSP application. 4. Attach a S-inch length of flexible tubing over the emitter closest to the injection point, another length over the emitter farthest away. Both emitters should be monitored to determine the time intervals that the indi­ cator solutions are observed. 5. Begin injecting the indicator solution. Direct the flow from the tubes at the emitters into a small container. Begin timing when the indicator solution is first detected. Stop timing when the indicator solutions are no longer de1ected. 6. If the period of detection of the indicator solution between the 2 emitters are within 2 minutes of each other, comparable coverage will be obtained. If they are not, make adjustments by increasing the dilution ratio, using more water per part of Ridomil Goid WSP, or adjust the injector to a slower flow rate. 7. Once the system is calibrated, dilute the needed amount of Ridomil GokI WSP with water using a minimum of 15 parts water to 1 part Ridomil Gold WSP in the solution tank. 8. Do not begin to inject Ridomil Gold WSP into the system until all emitters are producing equal flow rates, or until the system is at full pressure. 9. Inject the Ridomil Gold WSP into the system at the beginning of the irrigation set in 1/2_1 inch of lrriga4 tion water. Do not apply in excess of 1 inch of water.
