2.3.1 Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water or irrigation water.
This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This
product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for
several months or more after application.
A 15-foot level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is
applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the
potential loading of benzovindiflupyr and difenoconazole from runoff water and sediment. DO
NOT cultivate within 15 feet of the aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.
Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is
expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this products
potential to reach aquatic sediment via runoff.
2.4 Physical or Chemical Hazards
DO NOT mix or allow coming in contact with oxidizing agent. Hazardous chemical reactions
may occur.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
Aprovia Top Fungicide is a broad-spectrum product containing two fungicides. Aprovia Top
Fungicide is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC). It has preventive and curative properties and
is for use for the control of many important plant diseases. Aprovia Top Fungicide is applied
as a foliar spray and can be used in block, alternating spray or tank-mix programs with other
crop protection products. All applications must be made according to the use directions that
follow.
Aprovia Top Fungicide is a member of Syngentas Plant Health product line and may also
improve the yield and/or quality of the crop. These possible benefits are due to positive
effects on plant physiology. The effects may vary according to factors including the crop,
crop hybrid, or environment.
3.1 Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Integrate Aprovia Top Fungicide into an overall disease and pest management strategy
whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Follow cultural practices known to reduce
disease development. Consult your local agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies
established for your area. Aprovia Top Fungicide may be used in State Agricultural
Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which advise application timing based on
environmental factors favorable for disease development.
3.2 Resistance Management
For resistance management, please note that Aprovia Top Fungicide contains both a Group 7
(benzovindiflupyr), and group 3 (difenoconazole) fungicide. Any fungal population may
contain individuals naturally resistant to either or both of the active ingredients in Aprovia Top
Fungicide and other Group 7 or Group 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control
may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Follow
appropriate resistance-management strategies.
Aprovia Top Fungicide
Page 8
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
 Rotate the use of Aprovia Top Fungici de or other Group 7 and Group 3 fungicides
within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same
pathogens.
 Use tank mixtures with fungi cides 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 diseas e 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 di sease models to effectively time fungicide
applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage
resistance.
 Monitor treated fungal populati ons for resistance development.
 Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM directions for specific crops and
pathogens.
 For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta Crop
Protection at 1-866-796-4368. You can also contact your university extension
specialist to report resistance.

Aprovia Top Fungicide
Page 9
4.2.1 Nozzles
 Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application.
 Nozzles must be the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom.
 Calibrate sprayer before use.
 It is suggested that screens be used to pr otect the pump and to prevent nozzles from
clogging.
 Screens placed on suction side of pump must be 16-mesh or coarser.
 DO NOT place a screen in the recirculation line.
 Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at
the nozzles.
 Check nozzle manufacturers specifications.
4.2.2 Pumps
 Use a pump with capacity to maintain 35-40 ps i at nozzles and provide sufficient agitation
in tank to keep mixture in suspension - this requires recirculation of 10% of tank volume
per minute.
 Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation.
 DO NOT air sparge.
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage
See methods of application (Section 4.1) and crop use directions (Section 7.0) for
application volume information.
 Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control.
 Make no more spray solution than is needed for application.
 Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur.
 For aerial applications, apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre unless specified
otherwise.
 For ground applications, apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre unless
specified otherwise.

4.4.1 Aprovia Top Fungicide Alone
1. Add ½- ⅔ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank.
2. With the agitator running, add Aprovia Top Fungicide to the tank.
3. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
4. Begin application of the spray solution a fter Aprovia Top Fungicide has completely
dispersed into the mix water.
5. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.
4.4.2 Tank-Mix Precautions
 All directions for use, crops/sites, use rate s, dilution rates, precautions, and limitations
which appear on the tank-mix product label must be observed.
 It is the pesticide users responsibility to ens ure that all products are registered for the
intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for
use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
4.4.3 Tank-Mix Compatibility
 Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt cont ainer with lid by adding water or other intended
carrier for example liquid fertilizer to the jar.
 Next, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) or tank mix partner(s) in their relative
proportions based on labeled rates. Add tank mix components separately in the order
described in the tank-mixing section, Section 4.4.4. After each addition, shake or stir
gently to thoroughly mix.
 After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar 10
times to mix.
 After mixing, let the mixture stand 15 30 minutes and then examine for signs of
incompatibility including obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels or heavy oily
film on the jar.
 If the mixture remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible and can
be used.
 If the mixture is incompatible , repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the labeled
rate. Or, if applicable, slurry dry formulations in water before adding to the jar. If
incompatibility is still observed after following these procedures, DO NOT use the mixture.
 After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with
the storage and disposal section, (Section 8.0) of this label.
Crop Tolerance: Plant tolerance has been found to be acceptable for all crops on the label,
however, not all possible tank-mix combinations have been tested under all conditions.
When possible, it is advised to test the combinations on a small portion of the crop to ensure
that a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of application.
Aprovia Top Fungicide

4.4.4 Aprovia Top Fungicide In Tank Mixtures
1. Fill the tank with 1/2 - 2/3 volume of the mixing diluent.
2. Start the agitator running befor e adding any tank-mix partners.
3. Add all products in water-soluble packaging to the tank before any other tank-mix partner.
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.
4. In general, add tank-mix partners in this order:
a) products packaged in water-soluble packaging
b) wettable powders
c) wettable granules (dry flowables)
d) liquid flowables
e) liquids
f) emulsifiable concentrates (for example Aprovia Top Fungicide)
5. Make sure all other products are fully di spersed in the mixing diluent before adding the
labeled rate of this product to the tank.
6. Add the remainder of the mixing diluent volume.
7. It is advised that mixing and spray equipment have continuous agitation for best results.
8. Follow the precautions and limit ations of the most restricted product in the tank mixture.
4.4.5 Spray Additives
 For best performance, the addition of a spre ading/penetrating type adjuvant, for example
organo-silicon blends with either non-ionic surfactants (NIS) or vegetable based crop oil
concentrate (COC); or vegetable based COC (not mineral); or NIS with at least 90%
concentration is advised.
 When using greater than 40 gallons per acre, it is advised to add a tank-mix adjuvant
unless prohibited by the Specific use Restrictions for the listed crop, of either NIS
(minimum of 1% of total spray volume in tank) or oil including crop oil or horticultural spray
oil (minimum of 1% total spray volume in tank).
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Syngenta advises the use of a Council of
Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) certified adjuvant.

4.5.2 Operating Instructions For Chemigation
1. The system must contain a functional check-va lve, 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 contai n 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 interlo cking 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, for example 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.
4.5.3 Specific Instructions For Public Water Systems
1. Public water system means a system for t he 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 connec ted to public water systems must contain a functional,
reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), back-flow preventer or the functional equivalent in the
water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the
RPZ, discharge the water from the public water system into a reservoir tank prior to
pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the
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.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contai n a functional, automatic, quick-closing check
valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must c ontain 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.
5. The system must contain functional interlo cking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no
Aprovia Top Fungicide

water pump, when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution
is adversely affected.
6. Systems must use a metering pump, for example 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.
4.5.4 Application Directions For Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Restrictions: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. (2)
DO NOT use end guns when chemigating Aprovia Top 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 ⅛-½ inch of water over the area to be treated when
the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as directed by the
equipment manufacturer. When applying Aprovia Top Fungicide through irrigation

6.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
6.1 Use Restrictions
 DO NOT apply to greenhouse tomatoes.
 DO NOT use Aprovia Top Fungicide for commercial transplant production.
 DO NOT apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system.
 OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY OF
AQUATIC AREAS INCLUDING LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT
STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, ESTUARIES AND COMMERCIAL FISH
PONDS.
6.1.1 Aerial Application Restrictions
 DO NOT apply by air in New York State.
 DO NOT apply by air within 150 ft of lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams,
marshes or natural ponds, estuaries and commercial fish ponds.
Aprovia Top Fungicide
Page 15
 Mount the spray boom on the aircraft so as to minimize the drift caused by wing tip
vortices. Use the minimum practical boom length, which must not exceed 75% of wing
span or rotor diameter.
 Release spray at the lowest height consistent with pest control and flight safety. DO NOT
make applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy.
 DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. 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.
6.1.2 Ground Application Restrictions
 DO NOT apply within 15 ft of bodies of water including lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
permanent streams, natural ponds, marshes or estuaries.
 Shut off the sprayer when row ends.
 DO NOT cultivate within 15 ft of aquatic areas in order to allow growth of a vegetative filter
strip.
 DO NOT apply when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. 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.
 For perennial crops: Spray last three rows windward of aquatic areas using nozzles on
one side only, with spray directed away from aquatic areas. Adjust or turn off top nozzles
to prevent spray going over the tops of trees. Shut off nozzles on the side away from the
grove/orchard when spraying the outside row. Shut off nozzles when turning at ends of
row or passing tree gaps in the rows.
6.2 Spray Drift Management
 Avoid application under conditions when un iform coverage cannot be obtained or when
excessive spray drift may occur.
 Use the largest droplet size consistent wit h good pest control. Formation of very small
droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orientating nozzles away
from the air stream as much as possible, and by avoiding excessive spray boom
pressure.
 Risk of exposure to 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 increased spray drift to aquatic area. Avoid spraying during
conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures.
Aprovia Top Fungicide
Page 16
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications
 DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative
canopy unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
 For all applications, applicators are requi red to use a medium or coarser spray
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
 The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of
the rotor blade diameter for helicopters.
 Applicators must use ½ swath displace ment upwind at the downwind edge of the
field.
 Nozzles must be oriented so that the sp ray is directed toward the back of the
aircraft.
 DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application
site.
 DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Applications
 Apply with the nozzle height directed by the manufacturer, but no more than 3
feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a pasture or rangeland
application, in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more
than 4 feet above the ground.
 For all other applications, applicators ar e required to use a medium or coarser
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
 DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application
site.
 DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Boom-less Ground Applications
 Applicators are required to use a m edium or coarser droplet size (ASABE
S572.1) for all applications.
 DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application
site.
 DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
6.3 Spray Drift Advisories
 THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FO R AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE
AWARE OF NEARBGY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
Aprovia Top Fungicide
Page 17
6.3.1 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.
6.3.2 Controlling Droplet Size Ground Boom
 Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced 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 specified 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.
6.3.3 Boom Height Ground Boom
 For ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal
bounce.
6.3.4 Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
 Adjust Nozzles Follow nozzle manufacturers directions for setting up nozzles. To
reduce fine droplets, nozzles must be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
6.3.5 Application Height
 Applications must be made at the lowest height above the target area that still provides
uniform coverage of the target. Making applications at the lowest yet effective height
reduces exposure of droplets to wind.
6.3.6 Release Height - Aircraft
 Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
Aprovia Top Fungicide
Page 18
6.3.7 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.
6.3.8 Temperature and Humidity
 When making applications in hot and dry conditi ons, use larger droplets to reduce effects
of evaporation.
6.3.9 Wind
 Drift potential increases with wind speed. Dr ift potential is lowest when wind speeds are
10 mph or less. However, many factors, including droplet size, pressure, and equipment
type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Note: Local terrain can influence
wind patterns. Leave a 25-foot buffer downwind of the application to avoid drift to non-
target areas.
 AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
 Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray
drift.
6.3.10 Temperature Inversions
 Applications must not occur during a temperat ure 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.
6.3.11 Boom-Less Ground Applications
 Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray
drift.
Aprovia Top Fungicide
Page 19
6.3.12 Handheld Technology Applications
 Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
6.3.13 Non-Target Areas
 DO NOT apply this pesticide when the product may drift to non-target areas (i.e.,
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species,
non-target crops).
