-4- General Information Ridomil is a systemic fungicide for use on selected crops to control certain diseases caused by members of the Oomycete class of fungi. Other fungicides must be used to control diseases incited by other classes of fungi. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT TO BE USED IN FOLIAR APPLICATIONS UNLESS SPECIFIED ON THIS LABEL OR IN SOLUTIONS USED TO DIP PLANTS. DO NOT USE IN NURSERIES, TURF, OR LANDSCAPE PLANTINGS UNLESS SPECI­ FIED IN THIS LABEL. : Ridomil is a systemic fungicide having a specific mode of action and could be subject to development of insensitive strains of fungi. Development of insensitivity cannot be predicted. Therefore, Ciba-Geigy cannot assume liability for crop damage resulting from insensitive strains of fungi. If treatment is not effective following the use of Ridomil as -ecommended, an insensitive strain of fungi may be present. If the treat­ ment is ineffective due to the presence of a Ridomil insen­ sitive strain of fungi, neither Ridomil nor any other fun­ gicide with similar action will effectively control that disease. Consideration should then be given to the prompt use of other types of suitable fungicides. Consult with your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service Specialist for guidance on your particular crop and disease control situation. Do not use Ridomil 2E for dis­ ease control in crops grown in greenhouses, lath houses, hydroponics, float houses, or in bedding plant structres. Do not make foliar applications to field grown tobacco, or other crops unless specified since this practice may encourage more rapid development of insenSitivity. Where rate ranges are specified on this label, use the higher rate when heavy disease pressure is expected and the lower rate when disease pressure is expected to be light unless otherw~~~' noted. . . To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy condiioris. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may result. . Mixing Instructions Add one-fourth to one-half of the required amount of· :.:l':er to the spray tank, add the proper amount of Ridomil 2E, then ad .. {sEff AVAilABLE coPf] •

the rest of the water. When tank mixing other products with

Ridomil 2E, follow the proper sequence of adding products to the

spray tank. Wettable powders or water dispersible granules

should be added to the WJter in the tank first, followed by

flowable products, with emulsifiable concentrates, such as

Ridomil 2E, added last. Provide sufficient agitation during

mixing and application to maintain a uniform emulsion.

Ridomil 2E is usually compatible with Balan®, Bravo®, Dasanit~ +

Di-Syston®, Dithane® M-22, Dithane M-45, Dasanit + Nemacur®,

Dasanit, D,z'n®, Enide®, Furadan®, Lorsban®, Manzate®, Man-

zate 200 Mocap®, Mocap Plus 4-2EC, Paarlan®, Terraclor® 2E,

Terraclc~' 75W, and Tillam®.

To assure the compatibility of Ridomil 2E with these and other

products, pour the products into a small container of water in

the correct proportions. After thorough mixing, let stand fer

five minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be

remixed readily, the mixture is compatible.

.. - .- For banded applications, the area actually is the area covered by the band, not total cropland area planted. Some row-crop recommendations are based on treating in-the-row and these rates generally are specified as amounts (fl. oz.) of product per cer­ tain row length (0ften 1,000 ft.). Others express rates as amount per treated acre which means the total area treated with the pesticide. If rates are expressed as amount per treated acre and banded applications are used, the amount of pesticide used per acre will be proportionately less. The following for­ mula can be used to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre of crop when banded applications are made. Calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed for band treatment by the formula: broadcast rate amount needed band width in inches row spacing in inches X per acre = per acre of field ~plication Instructions Apply Ridomil 2E by ground or air in sufficient water or liquid fertilizer to provide uniform coverage of the soil surface. Apply in a minimum of 20 gals/.A for ground applications and 5 gals./A by air. Refer to the specific crop directions for use for application recommendations. BEFORE TANK MIXING RIDOMIL 2E WITH OTHER REGISTERED PRODUCTS FOi ANY USE ON THIS LABEL. READ THE LABEL OF THE TANK MIX PARTNER TO BE CERTAIN IT IS LABELED FOR USE ON THE PARTICULAR CROP AND THAT USE PATTERNS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THOSE OF RIDQMIL 2E. -·2&1 .-' .

-6- Application Through Irrigation System~ Ridomil 2E, alone or in combination with other pesticides which ae registered for application through irrigation systems, may be applied through irrigation systems. Apply this product only through center pivot, solid set, hand move, moving wheel, micro-sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. DQ not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibation, you should con­ tact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufactur­ ers 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 knowledgedble of the chemig~tion 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 ccntamination from backflow.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a func­ tional, 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 func­ tional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connec~.ed 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 includa a func­ tional 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 ~ positive dis­ placement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effec­ tively designed and constructed of materials that are com­ patible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

-? -7- 7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended. Application Instructions ( Ridomil 2E must be applied on the schedule specified in the spe­ cific crop use recommendations, not according to the irrigation schedule. With the exception of avocados and citrus, Ridomil 2E has not been sufficiently tested when applied through irrigation systems to assure consistent product performance for all labeled uses. The following calibration and application techniques are pro­ vided for user reference, but do not consitute a warranty of fitness for application through sprinkler or drip irrigation equipme~. Users must check with state and local regulatory agencies for potential use restrictions before applying any agricultural chemical through sprinkler or drip irrigation equipment. Note: Do not inject Ridomil 2E at full strength or deteriora­ tion of valves and seals may occur. Use a dilution ratio of at least 10 parts water to 1 part Ridomil 2E. Ridomil 2E is corro­ sive to many seal materials. Leather seals are best. EPDM or silicone rubber seals can be used, but should be replaced once a year. Do not use Viton, Buna-N, Neoprene or PvC seals. Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment (Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution) Determine the size of the area to be treated. Determine the time required to apply 1/2 - 1 inch of water over the area to be treated when tne system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Run the system at 80-95% of the manufacturer's rated capacity. Using water, determine the injection pump output when oper­ ated at normal line pressure. Determine the amount of Ridomi1 2E required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of Ridomil 2E and sufficient water to meet the injection time requirements to the solution tank. Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injec­ tion period. Continue to operate the system nntil the Ridomil 2E solution 1 34

-8- has cleared the sprinkler head. Solid SetHand Move and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment etermie the acreage covered by the sprinklers. Fill injector solution tank with water and adjust flow rate to use the contents over a 20 to 30-minute interval. Determine the amount of Ridomil 2E required to treat the area covered by the irrigatin system. Add the required amount of Ridomil 2E 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. Inject Ridomil 2E at the end of the irrigation cycle in 1/2 - I inch of water or as a separate application to maxi­ mize the effectiveness of the fungicide. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Con­ tinue to operate the system until the Ridomil 2E solution has cleared the last sprinkler head. Micro Sprinkler or Drip Irrigation Systems General Instructio~ Each run of the irrigation system must be calibrated sepa­ rately to determine the time it takes water to move through the system and to make sure all emitters in the system are putting out the same amount of water. Only pressure injection or venturi equipment is recommended. Determine the area to be treated in each irrigation run. Measure the output of each of the emitters or drip tubes closest to and farthest from the injector site. For calibration, substitute a concentrated detergent (such as Wisk) or a soluble fertilizer for the Ridomil 2E in the injector tank. The detergent will bubble as it leaves the emitters. The time period over which bubbles occur should be checked for both the closest and farthest emitters. If these times are not within 2 minutes of each other, adjust the dilution ratio and/or the injection rate. If a soluble fertilizer is used, measure the time intervals with a salt bridge. If a drip system is being calibrated, substitute soluble fertilizer for the Ridomil 2E in the injector and measure the time intervals with a salt bridge.

-9- Step-b¥-Step Instructions Before starting to calibrate, operate the system until all the emitters are putting out at equal flow rates or until the system is operating at full pressure. Make up an indicator solution of detergent or fertilizer, using the same ratio to be used when mixing Ridomil 2E. Set the injector to apply the indicator solution at the injection rate to be used in the actual Ridomil 2E applica­ tion. Attach a 5-inch length of flexible tubing over th!~ emitter closest to the injection point, another length OVE!r the emitter farthest away. Both emitters should be mc·nitored to determine the time intervals that the indicator solutions are observed. Begin injecting the indicator solution. Direct the flow from the tubes at the emitters into a small container. Begin timing when the indicator solution is first detected, stop timing when the indicator solutions are no longer detected. If the period of detection of the indicator solution between the two emitters are within two minutes of each other, com­ parable coverage will be obtained. If they are not, make adjustments by increasing the dilution ratio, using more water per part of Ridomil 2~, or adjust the injector to a slower flow rate. Once the system is calibrated, dilute the needed amount of Ridomil 2E with water using a minimum of 10 parts water to 1 part Ridomil 2E. Do not begin to inject Ridomil 2E into the system until all emitters are producing equal flow rates, or until the system is at full pressure. Inject the Ridomil 2E into the system at the end of the irrigation set in 1/2 - 1 inch of irrigation water. Alfalfa* *Including birdsfoot trefoil Ridomil 2E applied to the soil at planting will provide contr~l of damping-off caused by P¥thium spp. and root rots caused by Ph¥tophthora spp.

-10- Stand Establishment Apply 1 to 2 ptS./A as a broadcast surface spray at planting in a minimum of 20 gals. of water or following impregnation on fer­ tilizer. If alfalfa seed was previously treattd with metalaxyl as a seed dressing, an application of Ridomil 2E at I pt./A is recommended at planting. Use the higher rate (2 ptS./A) in areas where disease pressure is expected to be heavy. Note: To avoid possible illegal reidues, do not feed green forage or cut hay for 60 days following application. Apples (Bearing and Nonbearing Trees) Use of Ridomil 2E will aid in the control of crown, collar and root rot caused by Phytophthora spp. when used in conjunction with good cultural practices and rootstocks that are most toler­ ant to the disease. Ridomil 2E applications should be made before symptoms appear, especially in areas of the orchard favorable for disease development. Ridomil 2E will not revitalize trees showing moderate to severe disease symptoms. Broadcast Spray or Banded Applications: Apply 2 gals./treated acre as a broadcast spray (6 fl. oz./l,OOO sq. ft.) in suffi­ cient water ';0 obtain thorough coverage. The treated area is based on the area under the tree canopy or the area of the sprayed row. Soil surface sprays of Ridomil 2E will not be effective until the fungicide is moved into the root zone by rainfall or irrigation. Applications should be made in early spring before growth starts and in the fall after harvest but before the ground freezes. Dren: Mix 1 qt. of Ridomil 2E with 100 gals. of water. Apply the amount of diluted mixture indicated in the table below around the trunk of each tree. Applications should be made in early spring before growth starts and in the fall after harvest but before the ground freezes. On new plantings, delay the first application until two weeks after planting. Note: To determine trunk diameter, measure the trunk 12 inches above the soil line. Trunk Diameter < 1 inch 1-3 inches 3-5 inches

-11- Note~: (1) Do not dip roots of trees in or spray bare roots with solutions containing Ridomil 2E. (2) Do not graze or feed cover crops in treated orchards, or illegal residues may occur. Asparagus Ridomil 2E will control crown rot and spear rot caused by Phytophthora spp. Apply 2 qts./A as a broadcast spray in a minimum of 10 gals. of water over the beds. Cutting Beds: Apply 30 to 60 days before the first cutting. For additional control, make another application just efore the beginning of harvest. New Plantings: Apply after planting seedlings or after covering one-year old crowns. Note: Do not apply Ridomil 2E within 1 day of harvest or poss­ ble illegal residues may result. Avocados Root Rot - Phytophtho~a cinnamomi Begin applications at the start of the growing season or at transplanting. Two additional applicf.tions should be made at three-month intervals. Applications are not needed during the winter months of November through February. Ridomil 2E may be applied as a sleeve drench at the time of transplanting, as a soil surface spray under sprinkler irrigation systems, as a directed spray under drip emitters or injected into the irriga­ tion water. Sleeve Drench: Mix 1 fl. oz. of Ridomil 2E with 18 gals. of water. At the time of transplanting, drench the roots inside the sleeve with 1 qt. of Ridomil solution per tree. Note: The sleeve drench will not replace the soil surface applications for long term control of root rot. Sprinkler Irrigation: Apply as a soil surface spray under the canopy of the tree in sufficient water to obtain uniform cover­ age. See the following table for the amount of Ridomil 2E to use based on the diameter of the tree canopy. Start applica­ tions at the beginning of the growing season or at transplanting and continue at three-month intervals. Drip Irrigation: Apply the recommended amount of Ridomil 2E (see table) to the soil directly under the drip emitter at each

-12- tree. If there is more than one emitter per tree, distribute the total amount of Ridomil 2E needed among the emitters. Injection into Ir):,igation Water (Sprinkler or Drip Irrigation Only): Inject Ridomil 2E into the irrigation water at a rate of 2-4 fl. oz./l,OOO gals. (3 3/4-7 1/2 ppm active ingredient) at each irrigation. If Ridomil 2E is not applied at each irriga­ tion, use the table below to determine how much Ridomil 2E should be injected into the irrigation water. If Ridomil is to be used more frequently than every three months, adjust the rates so that no more than the specified amount is applied dur­ ing each three-month period. See the General Information sec­ tion of this label for further instructions and precautions when making applications through irrigation systems. Diameter of Tree Canopy (Ft.) 2 5 10 15 or wider Amount of Ridomil 2E Per Ten Trees/3 Months 1/2-1 fl. oz. 3-6 flo oz. 13-26 fl. oz. 29-58 fl. oz. Notes: (1) For best results, use Ridomil 2E as soon as soil tests indicate the presence of Phytcphthora. (2) For new plant­ ings, the use of Phytophthora resistant rootstocks with Ridomil 2E is recommended. Mature trees in moderate to advanced stages of decline cannot be cured with Ridomil 2E. (3) Do not apply more than 6 gals./A of Ridomil 2E/year. (4) Do not make an application within 28 days of harvest, or possible illegal residues may result. Berries Blueberries Use of Ridomil 2E will aid in the control of root rot caused by Phytophthora ~. when used in conjunction with good cultural practices to minimize disease problems. Ridomil 2E will not revitalize plants showing moderate to severe root rot symptoms. Established Plantings: Apply 1 pt./1000 linear ft. of row (14.5 pts./A broadcast basis) in a three foot band over the row before the plants start growth in the spring. One additional applica­ tion may be made to coincide with periods most favorable for root rot development. New Plantings: after the time should be made Apply 2 gals./A broadcast to the soil at or of planting. One or two additional applications at 2-3 month intervals or to coincide with peri-

-13- ods most favorable for root rot development. For banded appli­ cations, an l8-inch band over the row is recommended. Use the formula in the General Information section of the labe} to cal­ culate the amount needed per acre. Note: On new plantings, do not apply more than 3.6 gals./A broadcast during the 12 months before bearing harvestable fruit, or possible illegal residues may result. Cranberries Use Ridomil 2E as a soil application for control of Phytopthora root rot of cranberries caused by Phytophthora spp. Apply Ridomil 2E at 4-7 pts./A as a broadcast soil application for control of Phytophthora root rot of cranberries. Three applications per crop season are recommended. Make the first application in the fall after harvest. Make the second applica­ tion in the spring followed by a third application up to but no latsr than 45 days before harvest. Apply Ridomil 2E using ground or chemigation equipment. Suffi­ cient water should be used to allcw movement of Ridomil 2E into the root zone. Use a minimum of 20 gals. of water per acre when applying by ground equipment. Refer to the Application Through Irrigation Systems section of the label for instructions and precautions when making applications through irrigation systems. Notes: 1) Do not apply Ridomil 2E to cranberries by air. 2) To avoid possible illegal residues, do not apply within 45 days before harvest and do not apply more than 21 pts./A per growing season. Raspberries Ridomil 2E is a soil-applied systemic fungicide for use in the control of Phytophthora root rot. Apply 1 pt./1,OOO linear ft. of row to the soil surface in a three-foot band over the row. Make 1 application in the spring and another in the fall after harvest. Use the formula in the General Information section of this label to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. Note: Do not apply Ridomil 2E within 45 days before harvest or possible illegal residues may result. Strawberries Ridomil provides control of red stele (Phytophthora fragariae),

-14- vascular colapse (. cactorum) and leather rot (. cactorum) when used as directed. Applications may be made using ground application equipment or through drip irrigation systems. New Plantings: Apply Ridomil 2E at 2 qts./treated acre in sufficient water to move the fungicide into th root zone of the plants. Make one application after transplanting followed by an additional application 30 days before the beginning of harvest or at fruit set. A third application may be made during the harvest season, depending on environmental conditions and dis­ ease pressure. For banded applications, use the formula in the General InfOrmation section of this label to determine the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. When applying Ridomil 2E through drip irrigation systems, use the same amount as would be applied in a banded application to cover the root zone of the plants. Observe the precautions concerning application of Rido­ mil through irrigation systems in the General Information sec­ tion of this label. Established Plantings: Apply Ridomil 2E at 2 qts.!treated acre in sufficient water to move the fungicide into ':.he root zone of the plants. Make one application in the spring after the ground thaws and before first bloom. A second application may be applied after harvest in the fall. For supplemental control of leather rot, an application may be made during the growing sea­ son at fruit set. For banded applications, use the formula in the General Information section of tis label to determine the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. When applying Ridomil 2E through drip irrigation systems, use the same amount as would be applied in a banded application to cover the root zone of the plants. Observe the precautions concerning application of Rido­ mil through drip irrigation systems in the General Information section of this label. Notes: (1) To avoid possible illegal residues, do not use more tl.an a total of 6 qts. of Ridomil 2E/treated acre/year. (2) For low annual rainfall areas, a surface application of Ridomil 2E needs to be moved into the root zone by rainfall, overhead irri­ gation, or mechanical incorporation. Citrus Includes grapefruits, lemons, limes, oranges, tangelos, Langer­ ines, citrus citron, kumquats and hybrids of these. Use Ridomil 2E on citrus for control of citrus foot rot, root rot, and trunk cankers caused by PhytQphthora spp. Ridomil 2E can be applied as a topical canker application and as a soil application, as a spray or through sprinkler or drip ir.rigation systems. If trees are on a drip irrigation system, distribute the amount of Ridomi1 2E needed per tree (see tables) to tLe soil directly under the drip emitters at each tree. If tere is

-15- more than one emitter per tree, distribute the total amount of Ridomil 2E needed among the emitters. Note: Where nematodes are a problem, best results can be achieved if effect1ve EPA-registered nematicides are used. Nematicides can be used in combination or in sequence with Ridomil applications. Precaution: For best Phytophthora control. a combination of cultural practices and resistant varieties is recommended. The use of Kidomil 2E is not recommended in Florida for use on the highly susceptible sweet orange rootstock. Citrus in Nurseries (Arizona. alifornia. Florida ar.d Puerto Rico Only) Make the firt application of Ridomil 2E at the time of plant­ ing. Make repeat applications at three-month intervals during the period when trees are actively growing. For banded applica­ tions, use a band wide enough to cover the root systems of the plants. Do not apply Ridomil 2E solutions to bare roots. Soil Drench: Apply 4-6 fl. oz./100 gals. of water as a drench over tha row at a rate of 100-250 gals./l,OOO feet of row. The width of the drench treatment should be wide enough to cover the root systems of the plants. Follow with a 1/2-1 inch irrigation over the treated area. Soil Surface Spray: Apply 1-2 gals./treated acre in a broadcast or banded surface spray to seedbeds, liners, or bedded stock in sufficient water to obtain thorough coverage. If applications are banded, the treated area should be wide enough to cover the root systems of the plants. Follow the applications with a 1/2-1 inch irrigation over the treated area. Note: Do not use Ridomil 2E for disease control in greenhouse nurseries. Citrus Resets or New Plantings (Arizona. California. Florida and Puerto Rico Only) Make the first application of Ridomil 2E to citrus resets or new plantings at the time of transplanting. Make up to three addi­ tional applications per year at three-month intervals or when root growth flushes occur. Water Ring Drench: 5 gals. of the mix watering ring. Mix 4-6 fl. oz./100 gals. of water. Apply around the base of each tree within the Soil Surface Spray (Arizona and California Only): Apply 1-2 gals./treated acre (3-6 fl. oz./ 1,000 sq. ft.) in suffi­ cient water to obtain uniform coverage of the scil surface.

-16- Apply spray to the soil surface beneath the tree canopy or apply through irrigation water. If natural rainfall is not expected within three days of a soil surface application, irrigate with 1/2-1 inch water over the treated area. See instructions below for application through irrigation water. Soil Surface Spray (Florida and Puerto Rico Only) : Apply 1 gal./treated acre (3 fl. oz./l,OOO sq. ft.) under the canopy of the tree. Applications may be made through low volume irrigation systems at the rate of 1 qt./grove acre for trees less than 5 years old. Two-three applications per year are rec­ ommended. Applications may be made on a spring + summer, summer

• fall or spring + summer + fall schedule. Established Plantings Soil Applica~ion (Florida and Puerto Rico Only): Apply 1/2 gal./treated acre to groves that have a Phytophthora propa­ gule count of 10 to 20 per cubic centimeter (cc) of soil as a feeder root rot disease maintenance treatment. Applications may be made through low volume irrigation for trees 5 years or older at the rate of 1 qt./grove acre. Two-three applications per year are recommended. Applications may be made on a spring + summer, summer + fall or spring + summer + fall schedule. For groves with extremely high propagule counts (above 20 per cc of soil). apply 1 gal./treated acre for one year (2-3 applications) to reduce the popUlation. Soil Surface Spray (Arizona and California Only): For best results, begin Ridomil applications during the spring root-flush period. One or two additional applications per year can be made at three-month intervals or to coincide with flushes of root growth. Use the following table to determine the proper rate based on tree size and the number of applications per year. For applications based on broadcast rates, use Ridomil 2E at 1-2 gals./A (3-6 fl. oz./l,OOO sq. ft.) when three applications are planned and at 3 gals./A (9 fl. oz./I,OOO sq. ft.) when two applicatior.s are planned.

Deciduous Fruits and Nuts in Orchards (Nonbearingl" "For bearing DF&N, see Directions for Use under the Apples and Stone Fruits. Walnuts and Almonds sections of this label. Phytophthora Diseases Use of Ridomil 2E will aid in the control of crown, collar, and root rot of deciduous fruit and nut trees caused by Phytophthora spp. when used in conjunction with good cultural practices and rootstocks that are most tolerant to the disease. Applications should be made before symptoms appear, especially in areas favorable for disease development. Ridomil 2E will not revital­ ize trees showing moderate to severe disease symptoms. On new plantings, make the first application at the time of planting (See Notes below.). Additional applications should be made at three-month intervals during the time when conditions are favorable for disease development. For established plant­ ings, make the first application in the spring before growth starts. Apply 2 gals./treated acre (6 fl. oz./l,OOO sq. ft.) in suffi­ cient water to obtain uniform coverage of the soil under the canopy of the trees. For banded applications, use the formula in the General Information section of this label to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. Soil surface sprays of Ridomil 2E will not be effective until the fungicide is moved into the root zone by rainfall or irrigation. Notes: (1) Do not apply to plantings that will bear harvestable fruit within 12 months of the last application, or possible illegal residues may result. (2) To avoid injury, do not use Ridomil 2E to dip or spray tree roots. Do IIOt concentrate it around the tree trunks. (3) Do not apply to trees under stress. (4) In California, do not apply Ridomil 2E to newly planted trees within 90 days of planting. (5) Do not apply more than 6 gals. of Ridomil 2E/treated acre/year. Ginseng Ridomil 2E applied to the soil before early spring growth fol­ lowed by applications of Ridomil 5G (see Ridomil 5G label) will control Phytophthora root rot in ginseng caused by Phytop­ thora !:actorum. Apply Ridomil 2E at 3 pts./A as a drench in 100-400 gals. of

-20- water uniformly to the soil surface in the sprin~ before the plants begin growing. Note: Do not make any supplemental applications of Ridomil 2E. HopS Ridomil 2E applied as a soil drench followed by foliar applica­ tions with Kocide 101 will control downy mildew caused by PseudQperonospcr~ humulii. Soil Drench: Apply 1 qt. of Ridomil 2E/A of hops in a minimum of 20 gals. of water or liquid fertilizer to the soil surface over the crowns after pruning, but before training. Early application before shoots are 6 inches long is preferable. Foliar Spray: When primary infection (spikes) persist after a soil drench treatment and/or there is the first evidence of secondary (foliar) infection, foliar sprays of Ridomil 2E in combination with contact copper fungicides may be used. Apply 1 qt. of Ridomil 2E/A in a tank-mix combination with 2 lbs. of Kocide 101 (or n equivalent rate of a comparable copper fungicide). Apply with ground equipment in a minimum of 50 gals. of water/A. Notes: To avnid possible illegal residues, (1) Do not make more than 3 applications of Ridomil 2E per season (1 soil drench + 2 foliar sprays) and (2) Do not make the last application within 45 days before harvest; (3) Do not apply foliar sprays of Rido­ mil 2E without a copper fungicide. Leafy Vegetables (Head Lettuce and Spinach Only) Ridomil 2E applied as a soil application will control damping­ off caused by pythium spp. in head lettuce and spinach and white rust (Albugo occidentalis) and downy mildew in spinach. Appli­ cations may b made banded over the row, preplant incorporated, or injected with liquid fertilizer. Preplant Incorporated Application: Apply 4-8 pts./treated acre as a broadcast soil application in sufficient water or liquid fertilizer to provide uniform coverage and incorporate in the top 2 inches of soil. For banded applications, a 7-inch band is recommended. Use the formula in the General Information section of this label to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. Surface Application: Apply 4-8 pts./treated acre at planting in sufficient water or liquid fertilizer to provide uniform cover­ age. For banded applications, a 7-inch band is recommended. Use the formula in the General Information section of this label

-21- to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. If natu­ ral rainfall is not expected before the seeds start germinating, Ridomil 2E should be incorporated mechanically before planting or be moved into the seed zone after planting with 1/2-1 inch sprinkler irrigation. White Rust and Downy Mildew Control (Spinach Only): In addition to the preplant incorporated or surface application described above, apply 1 pt. of Ridomil 2E/A of crop, shanked in 21 days after planting or after the first cutting. One other applica­ tion may be shanked in after the next cutting. A total of 2 supplemental applications may be used on a 21-day interval. Use sufficient mechanical or bypass agitation to keep the Ridomil 2E mixed with the water or fertilizer. Notes: (1) The additional applications of Ridomil 2E noted above and made after each cutting by shanking the fungicide into the beds along with liquid fertilizer provide continuing control of white rust. However, white rust can only be controlled in a preventative disease control program that begins with an appli­ cation of Ridomil to the soil at planting. If Ridomil is not used at planting. do not use Ridomil at any other time through­ out the season. Do not apply Ridomil in foliar applications or in situations where white rust infections are already estab­ lished. The use of Ridomil 2E in curative applications greatly increases the risk of the fungus developing insensitivity to metalaxyl. The development of insensitivity will destroy the effectiveness of Ridomil in controlling white rust. (2) To avoid possible illegal residues, do not harvest spinach within 21 days of a Ridornil 2E application. (3) Do not use Ridomil 2E for disease control in greenhouse crops. (4) Do not apply more than 11 pts. of Ridomil 2E/A per growing season in spinach. (5) Do not exceed a total of 2.8 Ibs. active ingredient/A of metalaxyl per growing season when using a combination of Ridomil 2E, Ridomil 5G, or Ridomil/Copper 70W in spinach.

For in-fuc10w applications, position the spray so the fungicide is mixed with the soil covering the seed. Avoid spraying the ~eed directly with the spray solution or crop injury may occur. Pod Rot: Apply 1-2 qts./A at early pod set or pegging through overheaj irrigation systems. See the General Information sec-.ion of this label for further instructions and precautions whe.l making applications through irrigation systems.

-24- Notes: (1) Where pathogens other than Pythium spp. are present, use fungicides that control those diseases in combination with Ridomil 2E. (2) Where the predominant pod rot pathogens are Pythium spp. and Rhizoctonia spp.; use Ridomil PC 11G at labeled rates. Peppers and Eggplant Soil applications of Ridomil 2E will control damping-off caused by pythium spp. and crown rot caused by Phytophthora capsici. Ridomil 2E must be applied to the soil before the plants are infected with Phytophthora to obtain satisfactory disease con­ trol. Apply 4-8 pts./treated acre at the time of planting in suffi­ cient water (20-50 gals.) or liquid fertilizer to provide uni­ form coverage. If rainfall is not expected before the plants begin growth, Ridomil 2E should be incorporated mechanically before planting or be moved into the root zone after planting with 1/2-1 inch of sprinkler irrigation water. For banded applications, a 12-16 inch band is recommended. After the initial application, two supplemental post-directed applications at 4 pts./treated A should be made at 30-day intervals. The spray should be directed at the base of the plants and cover 6-8 inches of soil on either side of the plants. Such applications must be incorporated mechanically or by sprinkler irrigation to move the Ridomil into the root zone. Ridomil 2E may be applied with liquid fertilizer shan ked in as a band treatment to either side of the plant. Use the formula in the General Information section of this label to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. Precautions: (1) Ridomi1 may cause some yellowing of the pepper leaves. (2) Plants already infected with Phytophthora cannot be cured with Ridomil 2E applications. (3) The foliar blight phase of Phytophthora cannot be controlled with foliar applications of Ridomil 2E. (4) Do not use Ridomil 2E for disease control in greenhouses. (5) In areas where there is a history of late Phytophthora infections, an application of another EPA­ registered fungicide labeled for Phytophthora control is recom­ mended 17-21 days following the last Ridomil 2E application. Notes: To avoid possible illegal residues, (1) Do not apply within 7 days of harvest, and (2) Do not apply more than 12 pts. of Ridomil 2E per acre of crop per season.

Use the formula in the General Information section of this label to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. If natu­ ral rainfall is not expected before th~ seeds start germinating, Ridomil 2E should be incorporated mechanically before planting or be moved into the seed zone after planting with 1/2-1 inch sprinkler irrigation. Notes: (1) Do not use Ridomil 2E for dise~se control in green­ house crops. (2) To avoid development of insensitivity in the

-26- pathogen population, do not apply Ridomil 2E to potatoes. Soybeans Ridomil 2E is a soil-applied systemic fungicide for use in the control of Phytophthora root and stem rot and pythium damping­ off. Ridomil 2E may be applied broadcast, banded or in the seed furrow before the seeds are covered. The seed furrow applica­ tions will provide more consistent results if rain is not expected before the seeds germinate. For best results against Phytophthora root and stem rot, use Ridomil 2E with soybean varieties that have some tolerance to the races of Phytophthora present in the field. The higher rate of Ridomil 2E should be used in areas with a history of heavy Phytophthora damage. Under heavy late season Phytophthora pres­ sure, Ridomil 2E may not provide complete control. Surface Applications: For full season control, apply 5 pts./treated acre in sufficient water or liquid fertilizer to provide uniform coverage at the time of planting. For banded applications, a 7-inch band is recommended. Use te formula in the General Information section of this label to clculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. For early to mid season control, apply 1 1/2-3 pts./treated acre. In-Furrow Applications: For full season control, apply 1 1/10 fl. oz./l,OOO linear feet of row as an in-furrow spray in 5-10 gals. of water or liquid fertilizer at planting. Position the spray so the fungicide is mixed with the soil covering the seed. Avoid spraying the seed directly with the spray solution or crop injury may occur. Use sufficient water or liquid fer­ tilizer to provide uniform coverage. Use the following table to determine the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre based on row spacing.

Use of Ridomil 2E will aid in the control of crown, collar and root rot caused by Phytophthora spp. when used in conjunction with good cultural practices and rootstocks that are most toler­ ant to the disease. Ridomil 2E applications should be made be­ fore symptoms appear, especially in areas favorable for disease development. Ridomil 2E will not revitalize trees showing mod­ erate to severe disease symptoms. On new plantings, make the first application of Ridomil 2E 2 weeks after planting. Additional applications should be made at 2-3 month intervals or during periods most favorable for root, crown or collar rot development. For established plantings, the application should be mC'de in the spring before the plants start growth. Additional applications should be made at 2-3 month intervals or to coincide with peri­ ods most favorable for root, crown or collar rot development. Apply 2 gals./treated acre (6 fl. oz./l,OOO sq. ft.) in suffi­ cient carrier to obtain thorough coverage of the soil under the canopy of the trees. Sufficient surface area should be treated in nurseries to cover the root zone of the plants. Up to 3 applications can be made per year. For banded applications, use the formula in the General Information section of this label to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. Soil surface sprays of Ridomil 2E will not be effective until the fungicide is moved into the root zone by rainfall or irrigation. Precautions: (1) Do not dip the roots of trees in Ridomil 2E solutions. spray the roots or concentrate it around the tree trunks or injury may occur. (2) Do not apply it to trees under stress. (3) For intense plantings (2-3 times the normal plant­ ing rate) make applications on a per area basis. i.e .. per acre or 1.000 sq. ft. Do not calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E on a per tree basis. (4) In California. do not apply Ridomil 2E to newly planted trees within 90 days of planting. Notes: To avoid possible illegal residues, (1) Do not graze livestock in treated areas, and (2) Do not graze or fe~d cover crops grown in treated orchards.

If natu­ ral rainfall is not expected before the seeds begin germinating, Ridomil 2E should be incorporated mechanically before planting or be moved into the seed zone after planting with 1/2-1 inch sprinkler irrigation. Note: Do not use Ridomil 2E for disease control in gIeenho'lse crops. Tobacco Ridomi1 2E is a soil-applied systemic fungicide for use in the field before transplanting for control of black 3hank (Phytophthora parasitica, var. Nicotianae) and blue mold (Peronospora tabacina) on all types of tobacco. Ridomi1 2E may also be applied in t.obacco plant beds for control of blue mold and damping-off cau'3ed by pythium s<>p. For control of anthrac­ nose and other tobacco diseases, use fungicides that control those diseases. Tobacco Plant Bed For control of blue mold and dampir.g-off caused by h ·.hium spp., apply Ridomil 2E only as a preplan~ broadcast soil application at the rate of 1 qt./treated acre in 50 gals. of water or liquid fertilizer (1 fl. oz. or 2 tablespoons/1S0 sq. yds. of bed in 2 gals. of water or liquid fertilizer). Apply before or at the time of seeding to the surface of the plant bed and lightly incorporate or follow with 1/2 inch sprinkler irrigation water. In Pennsylvania, use 2 qts./treated acre (2 fl. oz. or 4 table­ spoons/1S0 sq. yds. of bed in 2 gals. of water or liquid fertil­ izer) . Notes: (1) Do not use Ridomi1 2E for disease control in green­ house crops. (2) Do not dip plants in solutions containir.g Ridomil 2E, or crop injury may occur. (3) ro not use Ridomil 2E for disease control in floathouse, floatbed production facili­ ties, hydroponic production or greenhouse facility.

~) '1 -29- Field Planted Tobacco Blue Mold: Apply Ridomi.l 2E as a broadcast soil application and incorporate in the top 2-4 inches of soil before forming beds. For flue-cured tobacco, use 1-2 qts./treated acre, dGpending on disease pressure and length of control desired. Under low dis­ ease pressure or for early season control, use 1 qt./treated acre. For burley and other tobacco types, use 2 qts./treated acre. For prolonged control of blue mold in field planted tobacco, make a supplemental application of 1 qt./acre of crop as a soil application at lay-by or the last cUltivation. I-osition the nozzles so that the spray is deposited under the plants and is covered by soil by the cultivator. Do not make this application if more than 2 qts./A of Ridomil 2E were applied at transplant­ ing or if nc Ridomil 2E was applied at transplanting. Note: For best control of blue mold, use Ridomil 2E in the plant bed and follow with an application in the field prior to transplanting. Do not use Ridomil 2E in transplant water or in foliar applications on field totacco because of the potential for the development of resistance in the blue mold fungus, crop injury or potential excessive residues in the crop. Black Shank: Use Ridomil 2E as a broadcast soil application and incorporate in the top 2-4 inches of soil before forming beds. Apply Ridomil 2E using conventional ground application equipment in sufficient water or liquid/dry fertilizer to provide uniform coverage. Use the table below to determine the amount of Rido­ mil 2E needed per acre depending on the black shank severity.

-30- Type of Rate of Ridomil 2E Tobacco Disease Level in Field Per Acre Flue-Cured Low to moderate (less than 2 qts. 6% disease) High (more than 6% 4 qts. * disease) Burley and Low to moderate (less than 4 qts. Other** 6% disease) High (more than 6% 6 qts. disease) *Florida and Georgia - Use 6 qts./treated acre of Ridomil 2E in fields with heavy black shank levels (greater than 6%). **Pennsylvania - Do not use Ridomil 2E for black shank control. For prolonged control ot· black shank in field planted tobacco, the following is recommended: Apply Ridomil 2E at 2 qts./A just prior to transplanting followed by a second application of 1-2 qts./A at the first cultivation followed by a third applica­ tion of 1-2 qts./A at lay-by or the last cultivation. Note: If more than 2 qts./A of Ridomil 2E were applied at transplanting, do not exceed a total of 6 qts./A, including the supplemental applications. Precautions; (1) For best results against black shank. use Ridomil 2E with tobacco varieties that have some resistance to black shank and use crop rotation. In fields where there is a history of severe black shank. use the highest rate and plant a variety that is resistant to the race of Phytophthora present in the field. (Burley La hybrids are only resistant to Phytophthora Race 0.) (2) Ridomil 2E is not recommended for use in high black shank areas on highly susceptible flue-cyred varieties such as Hicks. Virginia Gold or White Gold. (3) Fail­ ure to adeguately control nematodes in fields treated with Rido­ mil 2E may re3ult in poor control of black shank. No-till Tobacco; Apply Ridomil 2E to the field before trans­ planting for control of black shank and blue mold on all types of tobacco. Apply 1-2 qts./treated acre as a preplant, broad­ cast or banded soil application. For banded applications, use the formula in the General Information section of this label to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. A supple­ mental lay-by application may be made 30-35 days after planting at 1.0 qt./A. Do not make the lay-by application if more than 2 qts./A of Ridomil 2E were applied at transplanting or if no Ridomil 2E was applied at transplanting. 1

-31- Tomatoes Soil applications of Ridomil 2E at planting will provide control of damping-off caused by Pythium spp. Soil applications applied 4-12 weeks before harvest under the vines will control fruit and root rot caused by Pythium spp. and Phytophthora spp. Damping-Off IPythium spp.l: Apply 4-8 pts./treated acre in suf­ ficient water or liquid fertilizer to provide uniform coverage at the time of planting. If rainfall is not expected before the seeds start to germinate, Ridomil 2E should be incorporated mechanically before planting, during the planting operation, or be moved into the seed zone after planting with 1/2 - 1 inch sprinkler irrigation. For banded applications, a 7-inch band is racommended. Use the formula in the General Information section of this label to calculate the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. Root and Fruit Rot (Phytophthora spp and pythium spp.): To aid in the control of root and fruit rot, one or two addi­ tional applications may be made dur~ng the growing season, depending on the severity of the conditions for disease infec­ tion. Apply 4 pts./treated acre beginning 4-6 weeks after planting. A second application may be made as needed up to 4 weeks before harvest, but before the last irrigation. Ridomil may be applied as a directed soil surface spray under the vines or it may be injected into the beds with liquid fertilizer. If less than the full bed is treated, use the formula in the General InfOrmation section to determine the amount of Ridomil 2E needed per acre. If Ridomil is injected into the beds with liquid fertilizer, base calculations on a 7-inch band. If soil surface sprays are used, the Ridomil must be incorpo­ rated into the soil with 1/2 - 1 inch of rainfall or sprinkler irrigation. Ridomil may be applied with water or liquid fertilizer. Use the test in the General Information section to check for compatibil­ ity with various fertilizers. Notes: (1) To avoid possible illegal residues, do not apply more than 12 pts./treated acre/season. (2) Keep Ridomil 2E suspended in the fertilizer solution with bypass or mechanical agitation. Refer to the General Information section for drip irrigation instructions. (3) Do not use Ridomil 2E for disease control in greenhouse crops.
