Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Applicators and other handlers must wear: • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material • Shoes plus socks Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions exist for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Engineering Control Statements When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.607(d-f)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.

User Safety Recommendations Users should: • Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the toilet. • Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. • Wash the outside of gloves before removing.

3 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS This product is toxic to mammals, fish, aquatic invertebrates, and freshwater/estuarines/marine aquatic plants. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.

Surface Water Advisory: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months after application. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features including ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of prothioconazole or degradates from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.

Groundwater Advisory: Degradates of prothioconazole are known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. 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. DO NOT use with handheld application equipment, including backpack or mechanically/manually pressurized hand equipment.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval (REI). The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 12 hours. Some crops have longer crop-specific REIs. Crop- specific REIs are listed in the Directions for Use section associated with the crop. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, including plants, soil, or water is: • Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material • Shoes plus socks

PRODUCT INFORMATION PROSARO® 421 SC Fungicide is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide for the control of Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes diseases in barley, corn (field corn, field corn grown for seed, popcorn, and sweet corn), peanut, and wheat. Under conditions conducive to extended infection periods or high disease pressure, another registered fungicide may be needed once this product’s maximum application rates have been reached. Under these conditions use another fungicide registered for the crop/disease.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (FRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS For resistance management, Prosaro 421 SC Fungicide contains Group 3 (prothioconazole and tebuconazole) fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Prosaro 421 SC Fungicide and other Group 3 (prothioconazole and tebuconazole) 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: • Rotate the use of Prosaro 421 SC Fungicide or other Group 3 (prothioconazole or tebuconazole) fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. • Use tank mixtures with fungicide 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.

4 • 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 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.

Spray Equipment/Volumes PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE may be applied by either ground, aerial and/or chemigation application equipment. Equipment must be properly calibrated before use. For ground application, a pply in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. For aerial application, apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of spray solution per acre unless stated differently in the USE DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC CROPS section. Check equipment calibration frequently. Complete coverage and uniform application are essential for the most effective results, especially when lower spray volumes are applied. If necessary, increase the spray volume per acre for complete crop coverage. Mixing Procedures Prepare no more spray mixture than is necessary for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spray 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 the previously treated area or dispose of the rinsate according to local regulations . Do not tank mix with products containing a prohibition against tank mixing. Follow the most restrictive labeling requirements of any tank mix product.

NOTE: Thoroughly mix contents before use and application. Recirculate or mix the product for at least 5 minutes prior to each use. For large containers, 15 gallons containers or more, mix the product with the built-in mixer for 5-10 minutes before each use.

PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE Alone: Add ½ of the required amount of water to the mix tank . With the agitator running, add the PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE to the tank . Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water . Begin application of the solution after the product has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water . Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.

PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE + Tank-Mix Partners: Add ½ of the required amount of water to the mix tank . Start the agitator running before adding any of the tank -mix partners. In general, tank -mix partners must be added in this order: products packaged in water-soluble packaging*, wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquids, and emulsifiable concentrates. 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.

• Note: When using PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE in tank mixtures, all products in water -soluble packaging must be added to the tank before any other tank -mix partner, including PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE . Allow the water -soluble packaging to completely disperse before adding any other tank-mix partner to the tank. If using PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations; which appear on the tank -mix product label . No label dosage rate must be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed. This product must not be mixed with any product that 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. PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, herbicide, and foliar nutrient products . However, the physical compatibility of PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE with tank-mix partners must be tested before use. To determine the physical compatibility of PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE with other products, use a jar test, as described below. 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 liquids 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. For information, contact your local Bayer CropScience representative. 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 specifi ed on this label, the safety to the target crop must be confirmed. To test for crop safety, apply PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE to the target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions for the target crop. Aerial Application: Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Aerial application is prohibited in New York State. Chemigation Application: Apply PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE through irrigation equipment only to crops for which chemigation is specified on this label. PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE 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. Illegal pesticide residues i n the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about c alibration, you must contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) us ed for

5 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 if the need arises.

6 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 contamination from backflow.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check -valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the w ater pump motor stops.
5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch, which will stop the water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
6. Systems must use a metering pump, for example a positive displacement injection pump (e.g. , diaphragm pump), effectively designed, and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems, which provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do not use end guns when chemigation PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE through center pivot systems because of non-uniform application. Determine the size of the area to be treated. Determine the time required to apply 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 specified by the equipment manufacturer. When applying PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE 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. Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure. Determine the amount of PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE 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 PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE 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 PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE Fungicide solution has cleared the sprinkler head. Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment When applying PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Determine the amount of PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE 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 PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE solution has cleared the last sprinkler head. Adjuvants: PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE is advised to be used with a registered non-ionic surfactant at the lowest specified labeled rate for most uses. Refer to the USE DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC CROPS for adjuvant recommendations on corn. SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES The applicator is responsible for avoiding off-site spray drift. Be aware of nearby non-target sites and environmental conditions.

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 specified for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. • Spray Nozzle -Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.

Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, orient nozzles parallel with the airflow in flight. Boom Height-Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom must 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.

7 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.

ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS Treated areas may be replanted with dry beans, peanuts and soybeans as well as any crop specified on this label as soon as practical after last application. For additional crops, do not plant back within 120 days of last application.

8 USE DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC CROPS PROSARO 421 SC FUNGICIDE provides control or suppression of many important diseases of barley, corn (field corn, field corn grown for seed, popcorn, and sweet corn), peanut, and wheat .

DO NOT use with handheld application equipment, including backpack or mechanically/manually pressurized hand equipment.

12 OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS INCLUDING LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, AND ESTUARIES. Apply only during alternate years in fields adjacent to aquatic areas listed above. Do not apply by ground or air within 100 feet of aquatic areas listed above. Do not cultivate within 10 feet of an aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. Spray Drift Management: For aerial applications, the spray boom must be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length must be used, and must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or rotor diameter. Use the largest droplet size consistent with pest control. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure. Apply in a minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution per acre by aircraft spray equipment. Spray must be released at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight safety. Applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy must be avoided. Make aerial or ground applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph. Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 15 mph. Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is toward the aquatic area. Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of spray drift to aquatic areas. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperature. Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by stable air and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas. The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.

13 STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal. Pesticide Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area. Handle and open container in a manner as to prevent spillage. If container is leaking, invert to prevent leakage. If the container is leaking or material is spilled for any reason or cause, carefully dam up spilled material to prevent runoff.
