early stages of disease development provides the best control or suppression of the targeted plant disease . Use the stated
maximum label rates and shorter spray intervals for conditions conducive to threatening or rapid disease development .
For proper application, determine the number of acres to be treated, the label use rate and select appropriate gallonage
to give good canopy penetration and coverage of plant parts to be protected . Prepare only the amount of spray solution
required to treat the measured acreage . Accurate spray equipment calibration is essential prior to use .
PREHARVEST INTERVAL
SERENADE OPTI can be applied up to and including the day of harvest .
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator . The interaction of many
equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift . The applicator and the grower/treatment
coordinator are responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions . Where states have more stringent
regulations, they should be observed . Note: This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory
label requirements .
GROUND: Be sure to maintain agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform product suspension . Thorough
coverage of all foliage is essential for effective disease control . SERENADE OPTI can be applied in commonly used ground
equipment, hose-end, pressurized, greenhouse and hand-held sprayers . To achieve good coverage, use proper spray
pressure, gallonage per acre, nozzles, nozzle spacing and ground speed . Consult spray nozzle and accessory catalogues
for specific information on proper equipment calibration .
AERIAL: This product can be applied by aerial application . Refer to the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information
section of this label for general directions and precautions . Use the application rate indicated for the appropriate crop in
sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage, typically between 3 20 gallons of water per acre depending upon the
crop . Three gallons of water per acre is the minimum .
CHEMIGATION: This product can be applied through sprinkler (center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll,
traveler, solid set, and hand move) or drip type irrigation systems . Refer to the Chemigation Directions for Use section of
this label for general directions and precautions . Use the application rate indicated for the appropriate crop as specified
in the Application Rate tables of this label .
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
MIXING: SERENADE OPTI must be diluted with water . Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation .
Add the specified amount of SERENADE OPTI to the tank . Finish filling the tank to the necessary volume to obtain the
proper spray concentration . It is critical that the spray solution be agitated during mixing and application to assure a
uniform suspension . Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods . Maintain a spray solution
pH between 4 .5 and 8 .5 .
SERENADE OPTI may be tank-mixed with other registered pesticides to enhance plant disease control . This product
cannot be mixed with any product with a prohibition against such mixing . When tank-mixing SERENADE OPTI with other
registered pesticides, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both SERENADE OPTI and
the tank-mix partner(s) . Use of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations
and precautions . Do not exceed label dosage rates .
COMPATIBILITY: Do not combine SERENADE OPTI in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers if
there has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and
non-injurious under your use conditions .
5
SERENADE OPTI is compatible with many commonly used pesticides, fertilizers, adjuvants and surfactants but
has not been fully evaluated with all of these . To ensure compatibility of tank-mix combinations, evaluate them
prior to use as follows: Using a suitable container, add proportional amounts of product to water . Add wettable
powders first, followed by water dispersible granules, then by liquid flowables and lastly, emulsifiable concentrates .
Mix thoroughly and let stand for at least five minutes . If the combination stays mixed or can be remixed, it is physically
compatible . Test the combination on a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will
not occur as a result of application .
ADDITIVES: SERENADE OPTI is compatible with a wide range of additives . Since the product is primarily a
protectant, thorough coverage of all above-ground plant parts is required for effective product performance .
To improve plant surface coverage, add a nonphytotoxic adjuvant to spray tank .

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION
General: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator . The interaction of many
equipment and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift . The applicator and the grower are
responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions . Where states have more stringent regulations, they
should be observed .
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets .
The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control . Applying
larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable
environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions) .
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE: Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray
volume . Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets . Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturers
recommended pressures . For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets . When high flow rates are
needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure . Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of
nozzles that provide uniform coverage . Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the
airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice . Significant deflection from
horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential . Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
intended application . With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets . Consider using low-drift
nozzles . Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift .
BOOM WIDTH: For aerial applications, the boom width must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotary
blade . Use upwind swath displacement and apply only when wind speed is 3 10 mph as measured by an anemometer .
Use medium or coarser spray according to ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for spinning atomizer
nozzles . If application includes a no-spray zone, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground
or the crop canopy .
APPLICATION HEIGHT: Do not make application at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants
unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety . Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind .
SWATH ADJUSTMENT: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward .
Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by adjusting
the path of the aircraft upwind . Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential (higher wind,
smaller drops, etc .) .
WIND: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3 - 10 mph . However, many factors, including droplet size and
equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed . Application should be avoided below 3 mph due to variable
wind direction and high inversion potential . NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns . Every applicator should be
familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift .
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce
larger droplets to compensate for evaporation . Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry .
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: Do not apply during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high .
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated
cloud . This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions .
Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with
limited cloud cover and light to no wind . They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning .
Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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 .
9
SENSITIVE AREAS: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e .g .
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e .g .
when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas) . Do not allow spray to drift from the application site and contact
people, structures people occupy at any time and the associated property, parks and recreation areas, non-target crops,
aquatic and wetland areas, woodlands, pastures, rangelands, or animals .

For disease suppression, begin application at 1 5% bloom
and repeat or as needed to protect open, untreated blossoms
when conditions favoring disease development are likely to
occur . For maximum effectiveness, use SERENADE OPTI prior
to and as close as possible to Fire Blight infection events .
During periods of rapid bloom development and frequent
infection periods, use 2- to 7-day spray intervals . After
petal fall, continue applications on a 7-day interval while
environmental conditions favor disease development .
Apply in sufficient water to provide full coverage . For
improved performance, SERENADE OPTI may be used in
a rotational program with antibiotics registered for Fire
Blight control such as but not limited to oxytetracycline or
streptomycin .
Proper orchard cultural practices are essential to eliminate
Fire Blight-infected tissue from the orchard to assure good
performance of any crop protection product . Care must be
taken to remove and destroy dead and diseased wood from
the orchard prior to and during the growing season .
Use of SERENADE OPTI alone has not been shown to
affect fruit finish . Use caution when selecting spray
adjuvants . Select only those adjuvants which through
prior experience do not affect fruit finish when combined
with SERENADE OPTI .
