ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to mammals, fish and aquatic invertebrates . Applying this
product when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help reduce potential
risk to aquatic invertebrates by reducing pesticide runoff from the treatment area
into water bodies . Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water
is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark . Drift and runoff
may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas . Do
not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate .
Ground Water Advisory
Several trifloxystrobin degradates have properties and characteristics
associated with chemicals detected in ground water .  The use of this chemical
in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is
shallow, may result in ground water contamination .
Tebuconazole is known to leach through soil into ground under certain
conditions as a result of label use .  Use of this chemical in areas where soils
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in
ground-water contamination .
Surface Water Advisory
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind .  This
product 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 runoff that contains this product .  A level, well maintained vegetative
buffer strip between areas to which this product 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 this product will be
reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted within 48 hours .

GENERAL INFORMATION
ABSOLUTE® Maxx Fungicide is a broad spectrum fungicide for the control of
certain diseases of barley, corn, peanut, pecan, soybean, wheat, and grasses
grown for seed  .  ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide works by interfering with both
energy and cell membrane production by plant pathogenic fungi .
UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE TO EXTENDED INFECTION
PERIODS, ADDITIONAL FUNGICIDE APPLICATIONS BEYOND THE NUMBER
ALLOWED BY THIS LABEL MAY BE NEEDED  . UNDER THESE CONDITIONS,
USE ANOTHER FUNGICIDE REGISTERED FOR THE CROP/DISEASE .
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (FRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, please note that ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide
contains both a Group 3 and Group 11 fungicide  . Any fungal population may
contain individuals naturally resistant to ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide and other
Group 3 or Group 11 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 should be followed .
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide or other Group 3 or
Group 11 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 .
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control . Applications
using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage
generally provide the most effective disease control  . For ground application
equipment, a minimum of 10 gal/A is recommended  . For aerial application
equipment, a minimum of 2 gal/A is recommended .
Broadcast Ground Sprayers
Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application  . Be
certain that nozzles are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom  .
Calibrate the sprayer before use .
Use a pump with the capacity to: (1) maintain a minimum of 35 psi at
nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in the tank to keep the mixture in
suspension – this requires recirculation of 10% of the tank volume per minute  .
Use jet agitators or a liquid sparge tube for vigorous agitation .

4
Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging .
Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or
coarser . Do not place a screen in the recirculation line . Use 50-mesh screens
at the nozzles . Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations .
For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer
manufacturer’s and/or state recommendations .
For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state
agricultural experiment station recommendations .
AERIAL APPLICATION
Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be
obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur  . Do not apply directly to
humans or animals . Not registered for aerial application in New York State .
CHEMIGATION
Application Through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) – Apply ABSOLUTE
Maxx Fungicide through irrigation equipment only to crops for which
chemigation is specified on this label.
ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide alone or in combination with other pesticides
which are registered for application through irrigation systems, may be applied
through irrigation systems  . Apply this product only through center pivot,
solid set, hand move, or moving wheel irrigation systems . Do not apply this
product through any other type of irrigation system . Illegal pesticide residues
in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water  . If you
have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service
specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts . 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 . 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 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 .
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 .
Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Notes:  (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water
distribution . (2) Do not use end guns when chemigating ABSOLUTE Maxx
Fungicide through center pivot systems because of non-uniform application .

5
Determine the size of the area to be treated  . Determine the time required to
apply 1/8-1/2 inch of water over the area to be treated when the system and
injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as recommended by the
equipment manufacturer .  When applying ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide through
irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining
uniform distribution  . Run the system at 80-95% of the manufacturer’s rated
capacity .   Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at
normal line pressure  .  Determine the amount of ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide
required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system  .  Add the required
amount of ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide and sufficient water to meet the
injection time requirements to the solution tank  . Make sure the system is fully
charged with water before starting injection of the ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide
solution . Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the
system to full pressure  .  Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the
injection period .  Continue to operate the system until the ABSOLUTE Maxx
Fungicide solution has cleared the sprinkler head .
Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment
When applying ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide through irrigation equipment use
the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution  .
Determine the amount of ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide required to treat the
area covered by the irrigation system .  Add the required amount of ABSOLUTE
Maxx Fungicide into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the
injection period .  Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval
established during the calibration  . Stop injection equipment after treatment
is completed  . Continue to operate the system until the ABSOLUTE Maxx
Fungicide solution has cleared the last sprinkler head .
MIXING PROCEDURES
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation  .
Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product  . Vigorous
agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product  . Maintain maximum
agitation throughout the spraying operation . Do 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 .
ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide Alone: Add approximately 1/2 of the required
amount of water to the mix tank . With the agitator running, add the ABSOLUTE
Maxx Fungicide to the tank  . Continue agitation while adding the remainder
of the water  .  Begin application of the solution after the ABSOLUTE Maxx
Fungicide has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water  .  Maintain
agitation until all of the mixture has been applied .
ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide + Tank Mix Partners: Add approximately 1/2 of
the required amount of water to the mix tank  . Start the agitator running before
adding any tank-mix partners  . In general, tank-mix partners should be added in
this order: products packaged in watersoluble packaging*, wettable powders,
wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables such as ABSOLUTE Maxx
Fungicide, liquids, and emulsifiable concentrates  . Always allow each tank-mix
partner to become fully and uniformly dispersed before adding the next product .
Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water  .  Maintain
agitation until all of the mixture has been applied .
* Note: When using ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide in tank mixtur es, all products in
water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank-mix
partner, including ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide  . Allow the water-soluble packaging
to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding
any other tank-mix partner to the tank  . If using ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide in a
tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios,
precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank-mix partner product label  .
No label dosage rate must be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions
and limitations must be followed . This product must not be mixed with any product

6
which prohibits such mixing  . Tank mixtures or other applications of products
referenced on this label are permitted only in those states in which the referenced
products are registered .
ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide,
and foliar nutrient products . However, the physical compatibility of ABSOLUTE
Maxx Fungicide with tank-mix partners should be tested before use  . To
determine the physical compatibility of ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide with other
products, use a jar test, as described below .
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt  . of
water .  Add wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then
liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last  . After thoroughly mixing,
let stand for at least 5 minutes  . If the combination remains mixed or can be
remixed readily, it is physically compatible . Once compatibility has been proven,
use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank .
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes including additives and other
pesticides on all crops has not been tested  . Before applying any tank mixture
not specifically recommended on this label, the safety to the target crop
should be confirmed . To test for crop safety, apply ABSOLUTE Maxx Fungicide
to the target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions for
the target crop .
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications
• For aerial applications, do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph
at the application site  . If the wind speed is greater than 10 mph, the
boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft
and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters  . Otherwise, the
boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft
and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters .
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or
vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for
pilot safety .
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind
edge of the field .
• Do not apply during temperature inversions .
Airblast applications
• Sprays must be directed into the canopy .
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
application site .
• User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when
spraying outer row .
• Do not apply during temperature inversions .
Ground Boom Applications
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no
more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy .
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
S572 . I) .
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the
application site .
• Do not apply during temperature inversions .

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 drift will be greater if applications are
made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions .
Controlling Droplet Size -Ground Boom
• Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are pr oduced
will reduce spray drift  . Use the highest practical spray volume for the
application . If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
with a higher flow rate .
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to
produce the target spray volume and droplet size .
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended
application . Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift .
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
Adjust Nozzles -Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up
nozzles . Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel
with the airflow in flight .
BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce .
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift .
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 .
