Groundwater Advisory: Prothioconazole-desthio (a degradate of prothioconazole) and
tebuconazole are known to leach through soil into ground water 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.
Drift and runoff are hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. 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 produce 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 to occur within 48 hours.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly
or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any
requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide
regulation.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection
Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection
of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers
of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination,
notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and
exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment
(PPE) and restricted-entry interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses
of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 12 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker
Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such
as plants, soil, or water is:
• Coveralls
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
PROSARO® 421 SC Fungicide is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide for the control of
Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes diseases in barley, corn (field corn, field
corn grown for seed, popcorn, and sweet corn), and wheat. Under conditions conducive to
extended infection periods or high disease pressure, another registered fungicide may be
needed once this products maximum application rates have been reached. Under these
conditions use another fungicide registered for the crop/disease.
Resistance Management Statement
PROSARO 421 SC Fungicide is a Group 3 fungicide, which exhibits no known cross-resistance
to other fungicide groups. However, fungal pathogens are known to develop resistance to
products with the same mode of action when used repeatedly. Any fungal population may
contain or develop individuals that are resistant to PROSARO 421 SC and other Group 3
fungicides. If Group 3 fungicides are used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years
as the primary method of control for targeted diseases, the resistant isolates may eventually
dominate the fungal population. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use
of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the crop
and use area. Such strategies may include rotation and /or tank mixing with products having
different modes of action or limiting the total number of applications per season. Contact your
local extension specialist, certified crop advisor, and/or manufacturer for fungicide resistance
management and/or integrated disease management directions for specific crops and
pathogen populations. Bayer CropScience encourages responsible resistance management to
ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on this label.

Spray Equipment/Volumes
PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE may be applied by either ground, aerial and/or chemigation
application equipment. Equipment must be properly calibrated before use.
For ground application, apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. For aerial
application, apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of spray solution per acre unless stated differently
in the USE DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC CROPS section. Check equipment calibration
frequently. Complete coverage and uniform application are essential for the most effective
results, especially when lower spray volumes are applied. If necessary, increase the spray
volume per acre for complete crop coverage.
Mixing Procedures
Prepare no more spray mixture than is necessary for the immediate operation. Thoroughly
clean spray equipment before using this product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the
spray 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 the previously treated
area or dispose of the rinsate according to local regulations. Do not tank mix with products
containing a prohibition against tank mixing. Follow the most restrictive labeling requirements
of any tank mix product.
PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE Alone: Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the
mix tank. With the agitator running, add the PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE to the tank.
Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution
after the product has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water. Maintain
agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE + Tank-Mix Partners: Add 1/2 of the required amount of
water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any of the tank-mix partners. In
general, tank-mix partners should be added in this order: products packaged in water-soluble
packaging*, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, 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 PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE in tank mixtures, all products in
water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank-mix partner,
including PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE. Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely
disperse before adding any other tank-mix partner to the tank.
If using PROSARO 421 SC 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 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 that 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.
PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, herbicide,
and foliar nutrient products. However, the physical compatibility of PROSARO 421 SC
FUNGICIDE with tank-mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical
compatibility of PROSARO 421 SC 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 liquids 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. For
further information, contact your local Bayer CropScience representative.
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 specified on this label, the
safety to the target crop should be confirmed. To test for crop safety, apply PROSARO 421
SC FUNGICIDE to the target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions
for the target crop.
Aerial Application: Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be
obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Aerial application is prohibited in New
Y ork State.

Chemigation Application: Apply PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE through irrigation
equipment only to crops for which chemigation is specified on this label.
PROSARO 421 SC 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 nonuniform 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 for treatment.
Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems, which provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do
not use end guns when chemigating PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE through center pivot
systems because of non-uniform application.
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 PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE through irrigation equipment use the lowest
obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Run the system at 80-95%
of the manufacturers rated capacity. Using water, determine the injection pump output when
operated at normal line pressure. Determine the amount of PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE
required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of
PROSARO 421 SC 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 PROSARO 421 SC 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 PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE
Fungicide solution has cleared the sprinkler head.

Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment
When applying PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE through irrigation equipment use the lowest
obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Determine the amount of
PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system.
Add the required amount of PROSARO 421 SC 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 PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE solution
has cleared the last sprinkler head.
Adjuvants: PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE is recommended to be used with a registered
non-ionic surfactant at the lowest specified labeled rate for most uses. Refer to the USE
DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC CROPS for adjuvant recommendations on corn.
Spray Drift Directions
Do not make applications when conditions favor drift beyond the target application area.
When drift may be a problem, take measures to reduce drift, including:
1. Do not spray if wind speeds are or become excessive. Do not spray if wind speed is 15
mph or greater. If non-target crops are located downwind, use caution when spraying if
wind is present. Do not spray if winds are gusty.
2. Use caution when conditions are favorable for drift (high temperatures, drought, and low
relative humidity).
3. Do not apply when temperature inversion exists. If inversion conditions are suspected,
consult with local weather services before making an application.
ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS
Treated areas may be replanted with dry beans, peanuts and soybeans as well as any crop
specified on this label as soon as practical after last application. For additional crops, do not
plant back within 120 days of last application.

ground, aerial or chemigation application equipment. For ground applications, apply
a minimum of 10 gpa spray solution. For aerial applications, apply a minimum of 2
gpa spray solution. When applied through chemigation, large carrier volumes may
result in reduced activity against Fusarium head blight.
Disease Control:
Fusarium Head Blight (Suppression Only):
The optimal time to apply PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE is as a preventative foliar spray
when barley heads on the main stem are fully emerged (~ Feekes Growth Stage 10.5).
Spray equipment must be set to provide good coverage of barley heads. For thorough
coverage of the barley head using ground application equipment, use forward, forward
and backward mounted nozzles, or nozzles that have a two-directional spray. Nozzles
should be operated within the spray pressure directions suggested by the manufacturer.
For aerial applications, apply a minimum of 5 gpa spray solution.
Leaf and Stem Diseases:
Apply PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE as a preventive foliar spray when the earliest disease
symptoms appear on the leaves and stems. Barley fields should be observed closely for
early disease symptoms, particularly when susceptible varieties are planted and/or under
prolonged conditions favorable for disease development.
For optimum disease control, the lowest specified rate of a spray surfactant should be
tank-mixed with PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE.
Restrictions: Do not apply more than 8.2 fl oz of Prosaro 421 SC Fungicide per acre per crop year. Do
not apply within 30 days of harvest. Grazing livestock or feeding of green forage is only permitted 6 or

Restrictions: Do not apply more than 8.2 fl oz of PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE applied per acre per
crop year. Do not apply within 30 days of harvest. Do not allow livestock to graze or feed green forage
to livestock prior to 6 days after treatment with PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY OF
AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS,
MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, AND ESTUARIES.
Apply only during alternate years in fields adjacent to aquatic areas listed above.
Do not apply by ground or air within 100 feet of aquatic areas listed above.
Do not cultivate within 10 feet of an aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.
Spray Drift Management: For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on
the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom
length should be used, and must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or rotor diameter.
Use the largest droplet size consistent with pest control. Formation of very small droplets may
be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream
as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure. Apply in a minimum
of 5 gallons of spray solution per acre by aircraft spray equipment.

Spray should be released at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control
and flight safety. Applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy should be avoided.
Make aerial or ground applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition
(approximately 3 to 10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph. Avoid
applications when wind gusts approach 15 mph.
Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind
direction is toward the aquatic area.
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and
therefore the likelihood of spray drift to aquatic areas. Avoid spraying during conditions of
low humidity and/or high temperature.
Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. Inversions are
characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. Mist
or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. The applicator may detect
the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the
ground surface.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
Pesticide Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross
contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and
out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area.
Handle and open container in a manner as to prevent spillage. If container is leaking, invert
to prevent leakage. If the container is leaking or material is spilled for any reason or cause,
