Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, estuarine/marine invertebrates, and freshwater/estuarine/marine aquatic plants. Applying
this product when rain is not predicted for the next 48 hours will help reduce potential risk to aquatic invertebrates by reducing pesticide runoff
from the treatment area into water bodies. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below
the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate
water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Surface Water Advisory
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not
contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after
application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as
ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of Fluopyram. 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. Prothioconazole-desthio (a degradate of prothioconazole) is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain
conditions as a result of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may
result in ground-water contamination.
Ground Water Advisory
These chemicals have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. These chemicals may leach into
groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
USF 0411:
• is a broad spectrum fungicide for the control of certain diseases of Corn, Soybean, Sweet corn and Wheat;
• works by interfering with both energy and cell membrane production by plant pathogenic fungi. Equipment must be properly calibrated
before use.
USE RESTRICTIONS
• Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, additional fungicide applications beyond the number allowed by this
label may be needed. Under these conditions, use another fungicide registered for the crop/disease.
• Do not apply more than 2 sequential applications of USF 0411 or any other QoI Group 11 or Group 7 containing fungicide without
alternation with a fungicide from another group.
• Not registered for aerial application in New York State.
5
Refer to the specific use directions and restrictions in each Crop table.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
• USF 0411 may be applied by ground, air (except in New York), or chemigation.
• Use of an adjuvant may enhance the performance of USF 0411.
Aerial Application
Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Do not apply directly to
humans or animals. Not registered for aerial application in New York State. Refer to specific crop sections for water carrier volume restrictions.
Ground Application
Applications using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage generally provide the most effective diseas e control. Refer
to specific crop sections for water carrier volume restrictions.
Ground Application (Broadcast)
Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Nozzle selection, spraying pressures, carrier volume and application
speeds are critical for maximum efficacy. Select nozzles that deliver Fine to Medium droplets and operate them within the pressures specified
by the manufacturer. Adjust application speeds to allow for canopy penetration and coverage of the leaf surface. Be certain that nozzles are the
same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. Calibrate the sprayer before use and replace worn or damaged nozzles.
Use a pump with sufficient agitation capacity in the tank to keep the mixture in suspension. This requires recirculation of 10% of the tank
volume per minute. Use jet agitators or a liquid spurge tube for vigorous agitation.
Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Check nozzle manufacturers recommendations. For information on
spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturers and/or state recommendations.
For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural experiment station recommendations.
CHEMIGATION
USF 0411 alone or in combination with other pesticides which are registered for application through irrigation systems, may be applied through
irrigation systems.
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.
Types of irrigation systems
Apply this product only through the following types of irrigation systems:
• center pivot
• solid set
• hand move
• 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. 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.
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. Public water system' means a system for the 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. Chemigation systems connected 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 alternative to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction.
There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow 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. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve
to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. Pesticide injection pipeline must 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
6
from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down. The systems must contain functional interlocking
controls, to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where there is no water pump,
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.
Required System Safety Devices
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
interlocking 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 for treatment.
Center-Pivot
Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. Do not use end guns when chemigating USF 0411 through center pivot
systems because of non-uniform application.
Determine the size of the area to be treated. Determine the time required to apply 1/8-1/2 inch of water over the area to be treated when the
system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. When applying USF 0411
through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Run the system at 80-95% of the
manufacturers rated capacity. Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure. Determine the amount
of USF 0411 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of USF 0411 and sufficient water to meet the
injection time requirements to the solution tank. Make sure the system is fully charged with water before starting injection of the USF 0411
solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to full pressure. Maintain constant solution tank agitation
during the injection period. Continue to operate the system until the USF 0411 solution has cleared the sprinkler head.
Solid Set, Hand Move and Moving Wheel
When applying USF 0411 through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution.
Determine the amount of USF 0411 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of USF 0411 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. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until the USF 0411 solution has cleared the
last sprinkler head.
SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications
• For aerial applications, do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed is greater than I0
mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for
helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor
diameter for helicopters.
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is
necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Application
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572. I).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Spray Drift Advisories
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
7
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 - 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 recommended 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.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles
should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
Boom Height-Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
Release Height Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
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.
Temperature And Humidity
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
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.
Wind
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be
familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
It is the pesticide users 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.
When using USF 0411 in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank-mix partner,
including USF 0411. 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. If using USF 0411 in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios,
precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank-mix partner product label. No label dosage rate should be exceeded, and the most
restrictive label precautions and limitations should be followed. This product must 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.
Compatibility
USF 0411 is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, and foliar nutrient products. However, the physical compatibility of USF 0411 with
tank-mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical compatibility of USF 0411 with other products, use a jar test, as
described below.
8
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.
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes including additives and other pesticides on all crops has not been tested. Before applying any tank
mixture not specifically recommended on this label, the safety to the target crop should be confirmed. To test for crop safety, apply USF 0411 to
the target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions for the target crop.
Order of Mixing
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product.
Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product. 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.
USF 0411 Alone:
1. Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
2. With the agitator running, add the USF 0411 to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
3. Begin application of the solution after the USF 0411 has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water.
4. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
USF 0411 + Tank Mix Partners:
Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any tank-mix partners. In
general, tank-mix partners should be added in this order:
1. Products packaged in watersoluble packaging
2. Wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables)
3. USF 0411
4. Other liquid flowables
5. Emulsifiable concentrates
6. Water soluble liquids
7. Adjuvents
Always allow each tank-mix partner to become fully and uniformly dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while
adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (FRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, please note that USF 0411 contains a Group 3 (prothioconazole), Group 11 (trifloxystrobin) and Group 7
(fluopyram) fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to USF 0411 and other Group 3 (prothioconazole),
Group 11 (trifloxystrobin) and Group 7 (fluopyram) 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 should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of USF 0411 or other Group Group 3 (prothioconazole), Group 11 (trifloxystrobin) and Group 7 (fluopyram) fungicide
within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Monitor treated fungal/bacterial populations for resistance development.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM
recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You can
also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.
