GENERALINFORMATION Allegiance 50WP is a systemic fungicide seed dressing specifi­ cally for control of systemic downy mildews and diseases caused by soil-borne pythium and Phytophthora spp. When a rate range is specified, use higher rates of Allegiance 50WP when the disease pressure is expected to be high. For control of other soil-borne diseases, such as Rhizoctonia spp., Allegiance 50WP should be applied in combination with other registered seed treatment fungicides to offer broad spec­ trum protection to seed and seedlings. Note: Allegiance 50WP is a systemic fungicide having a specific mode of action. Allegiance 50WP could be subject to development of resistant strains of fungi. Development of resistance cannot be predicted. Therefore, Gustafson LLC cannot assume liability for crop damage resulting from resis­ tant strains of fungi. Consult your State Agricultural Experi­ ment Station or Extension Service Specialist for guidance and ways to control any possible Allegiance 50WP resistant strains of fungi which may occur. ALLEGIANCE 50WP may be applied as a water-based slurrywith other registered seed treatment insecticides and fungicides through standard slurry- or mist-type commercial seed treat­ ment equipment. Mixing Instructions Prepare no more mixture than is necessary for the immediate operation. Agitate thoroughly before and during application. Mechanical agitation is required for proper mixing of Allegiance 50WP. Add all of the required water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add required amount of Allegiance 50WP. Add any additional products after Allegiance 50WP has dissolved. If using Allegiance 50WP in a tank mixture with other seed treatment chemicals, 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 should be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations should be followed. This product should not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing.
