DuPont BENLA TE® SP should be used only in accordance with the recommendations on this label, or the recommendations in separate DuPont publications available through local dealers. DuPont will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from use of this product in any manner not specifically recommended by DuPont. User assumes all risk associated with such nonrecommended use. Do not formulate this product into other end-use products without written permission from DuPont. 2 GENERAL INFORMATION BENLA TE® SP is a systemic fungicide recommended for the control of many important plant diseases. Apply as a spray with ground equipment, except as otherwise directed in the "CroplRate Table", using sufficient water 10 obtain thorough coverage of plants. Application by air or chemigation is pennitted for some crops. Under severe disease conditions, use the higher treattnent rate and shorter interval for repeat applications as specified on the label for each crop. Large mature !tees will also require the higher labeled rate. Use only in commercial or farm plantings. Not for use in home plantings nor once any commercial crop is turned into "V-Pick", "Pick Your Own" or similar operation. Resistance Management Iftreattnenl with BENLATE® SP is not effective, a benomyl­ resistant strain of the fungus may be present. If this is the case, neither BENLA TE® SP nor any other benzimidazole-or thiophanate-type fungicide will effectively control that disease. Consider prompt use of other types of suitable fungicides. Repeated, exclusive use ofBENLATE® SP may lead to buildup of resistant strains of fungi and loss of disease control. A spray program alternating BENLA TE® SP use with other fungicides may delay buildup of resistant strains. For guidance on your particular crop and disease control situation, consult your state extension specialist or official state recommendations. Integrated Pest Management DuPont recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (!PM) program which can include biological, cultural, and genetic praetices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of this product should be based on !PM principles and practices including field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally detennined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site systems in your area. Preparation of Spray Mixture Add the required amount ofBENLATE® SP to the necessary volume of water in the spray tank; continuously agitate the tank by hydraulic or mechanical means to keep the material in suspension. Do not tank mix BENLA TE® SP with lime or alkaline pesticides such as Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur. Do not hold slunies for more than 12 hours. When the use of a spray oil is recommended (for crops such as apples, peanuts, pecans, and stone fruits), use a nonph)-1otoxic superior-type spray oil (60 to 70 second viscosity); add oil as last ingredient to spray tank. Consult product labels before applying other pesticides in conjunetion with spray oil or immediately before or after an oil application. Follow label instructions for each product used in tank mixtures; observe all precautions and restrietions. ( DuPont BENLATE® SP is a 50% active ingredient wettable powder formulation premeasured in lib (16 oz) polyvinyl alcohol (PV A) water soluble packets. Rates on the label in pounds per acre are equivalent to packets per acre. CAREFULLY OPEN ENVEWPE AND IMMEDIATELY DROP INNER PACKET INfO SPRAY TANK. THE INNER PACKETS CANNOT BE OPENED UNLESS PERMITTED FOR A SPECIFIC USE BY EPA­ APPROVED OR STATE-APPROVED LABELING. Tank mixtures with liquid fertilizer or solutions containing Boron will affect solubility of the water soluble fihn. When using fertilizers or Boron containing solutions follow these procedures: I. Add the correct amOWlt ofBENLATE® SP to clean water. 2. Be sure the soluble packets are completely dissolved. 3. Introduce the fertilizer or Boron containing solutions last.

Do not use on greenhouse crops, including hydroponically grown crops. Do not use on any container-grown crops. Do not use on ornamentals. 3 S l IS CHEMIGATION Apply BENLA TE® SP only through sprinkler irrigation, including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set or hand move irrigation systems only on beans, carrots, celery, cucurbits, peanuts, strawberries or tomatoes. Do not apply BENLA TE® SP to any other crops using chernigation unless permitted by supplemental labeling. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, 150 - 200 microns). The best drift management strategy is to apply the l~est droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT 4 WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wmd, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections of this label. Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 6 }- IJ Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USEAHIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed roc the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft • Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations. Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back prnduce larger droplets than other nozzle types. Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of the wing or rotor length - longer boooos increase drift potential. • Application Height - Application more than lOft above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift. BOOMHBGHT Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. WIND Drift potential increases at wind speeds ofless than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind spee
