Tilt Page 6 PRODUCT INFORMATION Tilt is a broad spectrum fungicide registered for the control of many important plant diseases. USE RESTRICTIONS x Do not use Tilt in greenhouses. x Do not use Tilt as a tree injection except on avocado trees in [California,] Florida and Puerto Rico. x Do not apply in a manner that will result in exposure to humans or animals. Integrated Pest Management Tilt should be integrated into an overall disease and pest management strategy (IPM) whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Cultural practices known to reduce disease development should be followed. Consult your local agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area. Tilt may be used in State Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT PROPICONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE For resistance management, Tilt contains a Group 3 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Tilt and other 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. Appropriate resistance-management strategies must be followed. To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: x Rotate the use of Tilt or other Group 3 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. x Use tank mixtures with fungicides 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. x Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Tilt Page 7 x Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance. x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. x 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.

Tilt Page 9 SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift beyond the target area. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur. MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT Aerial Applications x 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. x For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium to ultra coarse spray droplet size (ASABE S572.1). x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade diameter for helicopters. x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. Groundboom Applications x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy. x For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium to ultra coarse spray droplet size (ASABE S572.1). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Tilt Page 10 SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES x THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. x BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. x IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. Controlling Droplet Size – Groundboom xVolume - 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. xPressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. xSpray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft xAdjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. x BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. x RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. x 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. x WIND Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Tilt Page 11 x TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. x TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. OTHER STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding application of propiconazole. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Spray Equipment All application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates. Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Air assisted or air blast sprayers move spray droplets into the canopy using a forced air stream. Set up the fan to deliver only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage. Adjust deflectors or other aiming devices to direct spray only to the target area. Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be certain that nozzles are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. Calibrate sprayer before use. Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles, and (2) 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. Although Tilt is an emulsifiable concentrate, it is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on suction side of pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. DO NOT place a screen in the recirculation
Tilt Page 12 line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer’s specifications. For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturer’s and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural recommendations. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Agitate the spray solution before and during application. Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean water after each day’s use and dispose of pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area. Tilt Alone: Add ½-Ҁof the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, add the Tilt to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the spray solution after the Tilt has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed. Tilt + Tank Mixtures: Tilt is usually compatible with all tank mix partners listed on this label. To determine the physical compatibility of Tilt with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt of water. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. Add ½-Ҁof the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, add the tank mix partner into the tank. Allow the material to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water and the Tilt to the spray tank. Allow the Tilt to completely disperse. Spray the mixture with the agitator running. It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure 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. This product may not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are registered.
Tilt Page 13 RESTRICTION: Do not mix Tilt with dodine-containing products (Syllit®, EPA Reg. No. 55260-6) or crop injury may occur. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Ground Application: For tree crops, apply in a minimum of 50 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise. For other crops, apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise. Aerial Application: For tree crops, apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise. For other crops, apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise. Application Through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) - Apply Tilt through irrigation equipment only to crops for which chemigation is specified on this label. For chemigation, apply in 0.1- 0.25 inches of water. Chemigation with excessive water may lead to a decrease in efficacy. Tilt, 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. 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 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. Notes: DO NOT inject Tilt at full strength or deterioration of valves and seals may occur. Use a dilution ratio of at least 10 parts water to 1 part Tilt. Tilt is corrosive 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. Operating Instructions
Tilt Page 14
- 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.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick- closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- 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.
- The system must contain functional interl ocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
- 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.
- 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.
- DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended.
Tilt Page 15 Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. (2) DO NOT use end guns when chemigating Tilt through center pivot systems because of non-uniform application. y Determine the size of the area to be treated. y Determine the time required to apply 1/8-½ inch of water over the area to be treated when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as specified by the equipment manufacturer. When applying Tilt through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Run the system at 80-95% of the manufacturer’s rated capacity. y Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure. y Determine the amount of Tilt required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. y Add the required amount of Tilt and sufficient water to meet the injection time requirements to the solution tank. y Make sure the system is fully charged with water before starting injection of the Tilt solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to full pressure. y Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injection period. y Continue to operate the system until the Tilt solution has cleared the sprinkler head. Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment y Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers. y Fill injector solution tank with water and adjust flow rate to use the contents over a 20 to 30-minute interval. When applying Tilt through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. y Determine the amount of Tilt required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. y Add the required amount of Tilt into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period.
Tilt Page 16 y Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval established during the calibration. y Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until the Tilt solution has cleared the last sprinkler head. CROP USE DIRECTIONS Crop Target Diseases Use Rate fl oz product/A (lb ai/A) Application Instructions Almonds Brown Rot Blossom Blight (Monilinia laxa, M. fructicola) 4-8 (0.11-0.22) Apply Tilt at 5-10% bloom and 50-100% bloom. Under severe disease conditions, use the highest rate. Minimum retreatment interval is 7 days. Anthracnose (Colletotrichum acutatum) 8 (0.22) Apply Tilt beginning at bud break on a 7-14 day interval. Note: Tilt is most effective when applied and allowed to dry before a rainfall. For best results, sufficient water volume should be used to provide thorough coverage. Tilt may be applied by either ground or aerial application (a minimum of 15 gal/A). Specific Use Restrictions:
- Do not apply more than 32 fl oz/A/year of Tilt.
- Do not apply more than 8 fl oz/A/application of Tilt.
- Do not apply more than 0.9 lb ai propiconazole-containing product/A/year.
- Do not exceed 4 applications per year when applying at the highest rate (8 fl oz/A) or 8 applications per year when applying at the lowest rate (4 fl oz/A).
- Do not apply within 60 days of harvest (60-day PHI).
- Do not graze livestock in treated areas or cut treated cover crop for feed.
Tilt Page 17 Crop Target Diseases Use Rate Application Instructions Avocado Laurel Wilt (Raffaela lauricola) 0.25 fl oz Tilt per inch tree diameter (Equivalent to 3.2 grams of propiconazole per inch of tree diameter). Tree Measurement: Measure the diameter of 5 to 10 representative trees in a commercial orchard with a tree diameter-tape (D-tape) at 1-2 feet above the ground. This is the diameter at a 1-2 feet trunk height (tree diameter = TD). If only a regular tape is available, measure the tree circumference and divide that number by 3.14. Calculate the average TD of the trees in the orchard. If trees are multi-trunked, take the diameters near where the multi- trunks meet. If branching occurs at ground level then measure the diameter of the trunks (treatment rate would be based on the combined trunk diameters). Retreatment: When trees are first treated with Tilt, note whether Laurel Wilt is present and, if so, the severity of symptoms. It is expected that a single application per year will be sufficient. However, trees can be treated after a minimum re-treatment interval of 90 days and a maximum of 126 fl oz of Tilt/A/year. Retreatment should be considered if laurel wilt develops in trees within one year of treatment. Thereafter, preventative retreatment should be conducted annually, even in the absence of the disease. Treat the avocado trees in commercial orchards when sap is actively moving up in the trees, not during dormant periods (e.g. cold air and soil temperatures during winter or when the trees are leafless). Preventative applications are more effective than therapeutic treatments. Trees that are severely affected by laurel wilt may not respond well to treatment. Make sure that the water used does not contain any other chemicals and the fungicide mixing container is clean. Calculate the total fl oz of Tilt per acre: 0.25 fluid ounce / 1 inch TD x (average TD of trees) x number of trees/acre = total fluid ounces of Tilt/A. Application: Choose one of the two application methods: tree injection or tree infusion. It is important for Tilt to get into the xylem of the tree to be efficacious. See directions for each method that follows. Specific Use Restrictions:
- Use is limited to [California,] Florida and Puerto Rico only.
- Do not apply more than 252 fl oz of Tilt/A/year.
- Do not apply more than 126 fl oz/A/application of Tilt.
- Do not apply more than 7.09 lb ai propiconazole-containing product/A/year.
- Do not apply more than 2 applications per year.
- The minimum retreatment interval is 90 days.
- Do not apply within 7 days of harvest (7-day PHI). Avocado Tree Injection or Tree Infusion Application Method: Use the rates in Table 1. Use the injection method to inject the product into the tree trunk or the infusion method to infuse the product into the flair roots or trunk base. Drill holes according to the method below 3-6 inches apart completely around the tree. Use up to the volume specified in Table 1. It is advised to have an arborist trained in injection/infusion to treat the trees or provide training. Correct Location for Injector or Infusion Placement: The flare root area is the transitional zone between the trunk and the root system. Uptake and distribution of Tilt is more effective when infusions are made into the flare roots. In addition, wounds created in the
Tilt Page 18 flare root area close more rapidly in comparison to wounds above the flare root area. Applications made via injections should be made to the trunk and/or major limbs. Tree Preparation:
- Depending on the application type (injection or infusion) prepare the area to be treated. Infusion applications should be made to the flair roots. Injection applications should be made to the trunk.
- Heavy, thick or loose outer bark may be carefully shaved to form a smoother injection point and to ensure the operator that the drill hole penetrates through the bark to the xylem.
- For infusions, if the flare roots are not clearly exposed, carefully remove 2 to 4 inches of soil from the base of the tree to uncover the top of the flare roots. Brush away loose soil.
- Drill holes through the bark, into sapwood using a clean sharp drill bit. Drill hole diameter should be adequate to allow insertion of injection tees and formation of air tight contact between active xylem and the delivery point of the injection tees. Generally, a drill hole diameter of 7/32-5/16 inch is appropriate. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for the particular injection device used in the treatment. Drill hole depth should be adequate to deliver the product into active xylem tissue. Generally, ¾ inch depth is appropriate, but trees with thick bark may require increased drill hole depth to reach the active xylem layer. Space injectors 3-6 inches apart around the base of the tree. There should be several injection/infusion points around each tree. New infusion sites should be used for each application. Do not drill in the valleys between the flare roots or into cankered areas. Drill above these areas into the trunk, then continue again into sound sapwood on the flares.
- Disinfect the drill bit between trees with household bleach (20% solution), ethanol, or other disinfectant. Rinse bit with clean water after disinfecting.
- Insert into the drilled holes the injection ports (“tees”). For infusions, connect plastic tubing to “tees”. The tubing should have inlet and outlet valves.
- Mix the specified amount of Tilt and water thoroughly in the tank before beginning the infusion treatment. For the injection treatment, use a syringe to inject the specified amount of Tilt and water into the injection port. Table 1.

Direct the solution into a container and return the solution to the tank. Shut off the outlet valve. Pressurize tank to 20-30 psi. Check for leaks and gently tap in tees if necessary. Maintain continuous pressure on the injection system until the full amount of solution is in the tree. Passive infusions, using gravity flow are also acceptable. Injection: For injections, use a veterinary syringe to inject the specified amount of Tilt and water into each injection port in the trunk of the tree and/or major limbs. After infusion or injection is complete, remove tees and leave drill holes unplugged. A water flush to cleanse the hole will assist with wound closure. For infusion applications, soil should be replaced around
Tilt Page 19 the tree. It is not necessary to treat the drill holes with wound paint or other sealing compounds. New injection sites should be used for each application. Contact your local extension agent for more details on tree injection and infusion. The injection and infusion systems described is meant as an example; please refer to manufacturer’s instructions when using other types of tree injection and infusion systems.
