Environmental Hazards This product is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and oysters and shrimp. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Groundwater Advisory: This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. Surface Water Advisory: This chemical may contaminate water though drift or spray in wind. This chemical has a high potential for runoff for several months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this chemical. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to whic h this chemical is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs, will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall runoff. Runoff of such as when soils are saturated and/or significant rainfall is forecast in the next 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this chemical’s contribution to surface water contamination. Physical or Chemical Hazards Do not use or store near heat or open flame. Do not use with or store near any oxidizing agents , hazardous chemical reaction may occur. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Do not apply when gusts or sustained winds exceed 10 mph. • Do not apply during a temperature inversion. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, this product contains a Group 12 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 12 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of this product or other Group 12 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. • Use tank mixtures with fungicides 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 which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental 5 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 populations for resistance development. • Contact Nufarm at 855-280-6609 to report suspected resistance. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified pest control advisor for any additional pesticide resistance- management and/or IPM recommendations for specific sites and pathogens. MIXING PROCEDURES 1. Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. 2. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. 3. Vigorous agitation is necessary to maintain uniformity of the spray mixture. 4. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. 5. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. 6. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area. To determine the physical compatibility of SPIRATO® GHN Fungicide with other products, use a jar test as described below. Jar Compatibility Test 1. Using a quart Jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt of water . 2. Add wettable powders and water -dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last . 3. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily it is physically compatible. 4. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. 5. If using SPIRATO GHN Fungicide in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank-mix product label. 6. Do not exceed the dosage rates on any label. 7. Follow the most restrictive label restrictions. 8. Do not mix this product with any other product whose label prohibits such mixing. 9. Tank mixtures are permitted only in those states where the tank mix partner is registered. Note: Use with oils or adjuvants may cause plant damage on ORNAMENTALS Plant tolerance has been found acceptable for ornamentals listed in the ORNAMENTALS section of this label . However, not all possible tank -mix combinations have been tested under all conditions . When possible, it is recommended to test the combinations on a small portion of target plants to ensure a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of application. SPIRATO GHN Fungicide Alone: 1. Add 2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. 2. With the agitator running, add the labeled amount of SPIRATO GHN Fungicide into the spray tank all at once. 3. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. 4. Begin application of the spray solution after the material has completely dispersed into the mix water . 5. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. 6 SPIRATO® GHN Fungicide+ Tank Mixtures: SPIRATO GHN Fungicide is usually compatible with Strider ®, Torque®, Tourney, Adorn, Stellar, Spectro 90™, 3336 ®, Alude™ , and other commonly used fungicides, insecticides and foliar nutrient products . However, the physical and biological compatibility of SPIRATO GHN Fungicide with tank-mix partners should be tested before use. If in doubt, run a jar compatibility test or consult with Nufarm company representatives, other users, university or extension personnel before proceeding. 1. Add 2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. 2. With the agitator running add the labeled amount of SPIRATO GHN Fungicide into the tank all at once. 3. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. 4. Allow SPIRATO GHN Fungicide to dissolve and the product to completely disperse into the mix water. Then add the desired amount of other products recommended for tank mixture and allow them to become completely dispersed. 5. Continue agitation to maintain a uniform suspension until all of the spray solution has been applied. 6. Other wettable powders or water dispersible granules should be added to the water in the tank next, followed by flowable products, and emulsifiable concentrates added last. 7. Provide sufficient mechanical or bypass agitation during mixing and application. SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES: THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON- TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE: An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for spray drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. SHIELDED SPRAYERS: Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. WIND: Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. Handheld Technology Applications: • Take precautions to minimize spray drift. 7 APPLICATION: Directions for Use Through Microjet or Drip Chemigation Systems 1. For applications of SPIRATO GHN Fungicide as soil drench applications only. 2. Do not use in overhead irrigation systems 3. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. 4. SPIRATO GHN Fungicide alone or in tank mixture with other pesticides which are registered for microjet or drip application may be applied in irrigation water at rates specified in this label. 5. Applications to the soil may be made through microjets or drip irrigation. With microjet systems, apply additional water after application is complete to remove residues from the foliage. Apply enough supplemental water to wet the root zones of the plants. 6. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system . 7. Plant injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. 8. Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Where distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable control may result. Where distribution patterns overlap excessively, injury to desirable plants may result. Spray Preparation 1. Chemical tank and injector system should be thoroughly cleaned. 2. Flush system with clean water. 3. Fill the mix (supply) tank with the required amount of water. 4. Start agitation in the tank. 5. Agitate the solution until the SPIRATO ® GHN has completely dispersed into the solution. Then add desired amount of tank-mix partners. 6. Maintain agitation in the tank and inject this mixture into the irrigation system. 7. Injecting a larger volume of a more dilute mixture per hour will usually provide more accurate calibration of metering equipment. 8. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the fungicide in suspension. 9. Meter into irrigation water during the beginning of the irrigation cycle. Operation Instructions 1. The 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. 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 withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or 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 switch which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. 8 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. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water . 8. 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. Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems 1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the year. 2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional reduced-pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. 3. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. 4. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of the fill pipe. 5. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional automatic quick -closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump 6. The pesticide injection pipeline must 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 withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. 7. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops or in cases where there is no water pump when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected . 8. 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. 9. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment .

For control of Botrytis spp., and Cylindrocladium spp. use 2-4 fluid ounces/100 gal of water and spray to runoff at 7 to 14 day intervals while conditions are favorable for disease development. For management of the potential development of resistance in the Botrytis population, use no more than two consecutive applications of SPIRATO® GHN Fungicide before rotating to another effective product registered for Botrytis control on ornamentals with a different mode of action. Notes (1) Under severe conditions, use the highest specified rate and/or the shortest application interval. (2) Use sufficient spray volume to wet the plants to the point of drip. Restriction For a single foliar application, apply up to a maximum of 4 fluid ounces /100 gal (1fl oz /25 gal) (0.188 lbs ai/A). Pre-Potting Growing Media Mix SPIRATO GHN Fungicide can be mixed with the potting media before seeding or transplanting by uniformly mixing 1- 2 fluid ounces per cu yd of potting media. Mix the specified amount of SPIRATO GHN Fungicide with 5 - 10 gallons of water and applied to 1 (one) cu yd of potting media. Adjust water volume depending upon characteristic of media and equipment. Uniform mixing can be accomplished by placing the potting mix in a rotating drum or other mixing device, and spraying the SPIRATO GHN Fungicide solution onto the mix while the equipment is mixing the media. Media should be uniformly damp to insure proper application. SPIRATO GHN Fungicide treatment should be made just before the plants are seeded or potted up. Growing Medium Drench At Seeding For the control of damping-off, root, and stem diseases, mix 1 fluid ounce per 100 gallons of water. When using SPIRATO GHN Fungicide for control of Rhizoctonia spp., apply sufficient mix to wet the upper one-half of the growing medium. For control of other root and stem diseases, completely drench the growing medium. 11 Restriction Make only one application to the seeding crop prior to transplanting or transfer to larger containers . Growing Medium Drench for Transplants and Cuttings For the control of root and stem diseases, mix 1-2 fluid ounces per 100 gallons of water. When using SPIRATO GHN Fungicide for control of Rhizoctonia spp., apply sufficient mix to wet the upper one-half of the growing medium. For control of other root and stem diseases, completely drench the growing medium. If needed, retreat transplants and cuttings with SPIRATO GHN Fungicide as described above at 21 to 28 day intervals. Two applications per year during conditions favorable for disease development are usually adequate to control diseases of ornamentals . Notes (1) Under severe conditions, use the highest specified rate and/or the shortest application interval. (2) For control of Pythium and Phytophthora diseases in addition to Rhizoctonia spp., Cylindrocladium spp., Thielaviopsis spp., Fusarium spp., and Sclerotium spp., tank mix SPIRATO GHN Fungicide with labeled rates of Adorn and/or Alude. Restriction Drench applications can be made at up to a maximum of 2 pt /sq ft to wet the root zone of plants (1.6 lb ai/A) . Restrictions: Maximum Use Rates For indoor drench applications, use up to 30 fluid ounces of SPIRATO® GHN Fungicide per 1000 sq ft/year (10 gallons [40 lbs AI] per acre). Applications to pre-potting mix can be made up to 4 fluid ounces of SPIRATO GHN Fungicide per cu yd. The high use rates specified for container nurseries, greenhouses, or other enclosed structures are due to the high organic matter soil mixes used in these systems and the high binding affinity of SPIRATO GHN Fungicide for organic matter. For field grown and landscape ornamentals, apply up to a maximum of 1.5 fluid ounces/1000 sq ft /year (0.51 gallons [2.04 lbs AI] per acre) and the single maximum application rate is 0.68 lb Fludioxonil/A/application. For outdoor container grown ornamentals, apply up to a maximum of 3 fluid ounces/1000 sq ft /year (1 gallon [4 lbs AI]/A/year) . TURFGRASS SPIRATO GHN Fungicide is a protectant fungicide for control of certain diseases of turfgrass. SPIRATO GHN Fungicide provides control of brown patch, leaf spot, yellow patch, summer patch, anthracnose, gray leaf spot, bentgrass dead spot, and pink and gray snow mold when used in an integrated, preventive disease management program. DO NOT USE ON TURFGRASS IN HAWAII. DO NOT USE ON TURFGRASS IN NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES IN NEW YORK. Use SPIRATO GHN Fungicide as a foliar spray in an integrated, preventive disease management program alone or in combination with other fungicides, such as Affirm, Tourney EZ , Torque, or Traction. • Apply in sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage. • Apply after mowing. • For control of foliar diseases, allow sprayed area to completely dry before irrigation. • Under conditions optimum for high disease pressure, use the higher rate and the shorter interval. • For optimum turfgrass quality and disease control, use SPIRATO GHN Fungicide in conjunction with turfgrass management practices that promote good plant health and optimum disease control . 12 • Before use of any fungicide, proper diagnosis of the organism causing the disease is important. Use of diagnostic kits or other means of identification of the disease is essential to determine the best control measures.
