DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Mentor should be used only in accordance with directions on this label or in separately published Syngenta supplemental labeling directions for this product.

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

PRODUCT USE INFORMATION

Mentor is a broad-spectrum fungicide for the control of many important plant diseases.

Integrated Pest Management

Mentor 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. Mentor 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

GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE

Mentor is in the Group 3 class fungicides. The mode of action of Mentor is as a demethylation inhibitor of sterol biosynthesis (DMI) which disrupts membrane synthesis by blocking demethylation. Fungal pathogens can develop resistance to products with the same mode of action when used repeatedly. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, use of this product should conform to resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area. Consult your local or State agricultural authorities for resistance management strategies that are complementary to those in this label. Resistance management strategies may include rotating and/or tank mixing with products having different modes of action or limiting the total number of applications per season. Syngenta Crop Protection encourages responsible resistance

Mentor Page 5 management to ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on this label. Mentor should not be alternated or tank mixed with any fungicide to which resistance has already developed.

Mixing Instructions

Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Vigorous agitation is necessary to maintain uniformity of the spray mixture. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area.

Mentor Alone: Add ѿ of the required amount of plain water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, drop the required amount of Mentor into the tank all at once. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the spray solution after the Mentor has dissolved, and the material has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.

Mentor + Tank Mixtures: Mentor is usually compatible with all tank mix partners listed on this label. Add 1/3 of the required amount of plain water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, drop the required amount of Mentor into the tank all at once. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Allow the Mentor to dissolve and the desired amount of other products recommended for tank mixture to become completely dispersed. Continue agitation to maintain a uniform suspension until all of the spray solution has been applied.

If using Mentor in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank mix product label. No label dosage rate can be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed. This product should 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.

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.
