7 PRODUCT DIRECTIONS

READ ENTIRE LABEL. USE STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS, AND WITH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.

Not for use in greenhouses.

Chemigation:

Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation): Apply TOPGUARD Fungicide through irrigation to crops at rates and timings specified in this label. Chemical tank and injector system must be thoroughly cleaned before and after use. Flush system with clean water.

Drip Irrigation: Use TOPGUARD Fungicide for control of diseases at rates and timing as specified in this label. Ensure adequate soil moisture prior to utilizing TOPGUARD Fungicide in a drip irrigation system. Do not apply TOPGUARD Fungicide through drip irrigation that is deeper than 12” below the soil surface.

Discontinue drip irrigation application at fungicide depletion from the main feed supply tank or after 6 hours from start, whichever is shorter. Delay subsequent irrigation (water only) for at least 24 hours following drip application for best results.

Sprinkler Irrigation: Apply this product through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, micro sprinkler or hand move irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system except as specified on this label.

With Center Pivot irrigation equipment, use TOPGUARD Fungicide only with equipment with drive systems that provide uniform water distribution. Do not use end guns for chemigation due to the non-uniform application pattern.

Add TOPGUARD Fungicide to the pesticide supply tank containing sufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by the injection equipment. Maintain agitation during the entire application period.

For continuous-move irrigation systems, apply the labeled rate for that crop in ½ acre-inch or less per acre. For stationary or non-continuous moving systems, inject TOPGUARD Fungicide spray mixture during the last 20-30 minutes of the set.

Do not apply when winds are greater than 10-15 mph to avoid drift or wind skips. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good control.

Topguard Fungicide [Optional text appears in brackets] EPA Reg. No. 279-3557

8 If you have questions about calibration you should contact a State Extension Service specialist, equipment manufacturer or other expert.

Operating Requirements for Application through Irrigation Systems:

1. Do not use chemigation when conditions are favorable for drift to non-target areas.
2. To prevent water-source contamination from backflow, a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low-pressure drain should be located on the irrigation pipeline.
3. To prevent backflow back toward the injection pump, the pesticide injection pipeline must be equipped with a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve.
4. To prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is shut down, the pesticide injection pipeline should also be equipped with a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock.
5. The system must also contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops and a functional pressure switch to stop the pump motor when water pressure decreases to a point at which pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
6. A metering pump, constructed of materials compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., a diaphragm pump), must be included in the system.
7. A knowledgeable person responsible for the chemigation system should shut the system down and turn the irrigation water off, ensuring enough time for the pesticide to be flushed through all lines and nozzles.
8. No irrigation system, including those in greenhouses, used to distribute pesticides can be connected to a public water source unless safety measures and devices prescribed in the pesticide label for such connection are in place.

Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems:

1. Public water system means a system that provides piped water for human consumption if the 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.
2. All measures and devices listed in the above section, “Operating Requirements for Application through Irrigation Systems”, must be operational for connection to a public water system.
3. Additionally, chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There must be a complete physical break (air gap) between the 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.

Rainfastness: TOPGUARD Fungicide is rainfast 2 hours after application. Disease control will be reduced if rainfall occurs within 2 hours of application.

Compatibility Jar Test: TOPGUARD Fungicide is compatible with most products, however not all combinations have been tested. Use the following compatibility jar test to ensure physical compatibility.

Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to approximately one quart of water with agitation. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, next liquid flowables, then emulsifiable concentrates, and last liquid soluble products. After thorough mixing, allow this mixture to stand for 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be readily remixed, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding products to the spray tank. Use tank mix combinations on a small number of plants before treating larger

Topguard Fungicide [Optional text appears in brackets] EPA Reg. No. 279-3557

10 areas. When tank mixing, follow more restrictive labeling of any tank mix partner. Do not tank mix with any product that contains a prohibition on tank mixing.

Use of Adjuvants: An adjuvant may be used with TOPGUARD Fungicide unless otherwise specified in the crop use directions. TOPGUARD Fungicide is compatible with most products, however not all have been tested. Use the compatibility jar test to ensure physical compatibility.

Tank Mixing: TOPGUARD Fungicide may be tank mixed with other fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, and/or other additives unless prohibited on the label of the tank mix partner. Follow more restrictive labeling of any tank mix partner. Although TOPGUARD Fungicide is compatible with most products, not all combinations have been tested. Use the compatibility jar test to ensure physical compatibility. Before applying any tank mixture not specifically recommended on this label, the crop safety of the target crop should be confirmed by applying the mixture to a small area of the target crop in accordance to the label instructions. 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.

Spray Equipment/Volume: TOPGUARD Fungicide should be applied in sufficient water volume to ensure thorough coverage as a broadcast foliar application for good disease control.

For ground application, use a minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre by ground sprayer. For aerial application, use aircraft spray equipment in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre for tree nut crops, 2 gallons of spray solution per acre for corn, cotton, grain sorghum, soybean, wheat and triticale, and 5 gallons of spray solution per acre for all other crops.

Resistance Management:

For resistance management, TOPGUARD Fungicide contains a Group 3 fungicide (Flutriafol.)

Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to TOPGUARD Fungicide 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 should be followed.

To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:

• Rotate the use of TOPGUARD Fungicide or other Group 3 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.

Topguard Fungicide [Optional text appears in brackets] EPA Reg. No. 279-3557

11

• 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 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 your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

High Disease Pressure: Where a range is given, use the higher rate of TOPGUARD Fungicide and/or reduced spray interval when disease pressure is high and/or conditions are favorable for disease development.

12 CROP USE DIRECTIONS Use Directions for ALFALFA [Not for use in CA]

TOPGUARD Fungicide works by forming a protective barrier around the alfalfa root at the point of disease infection. Precipitation in the form of rainfall or irrigation is required to move the product into the infection zone. The amount of water required will vary with soil type, soil moisture, and rainfall or irrigation intensity.

Application Method: Apply TOPGUARD Fungicide as a broadcast spray application at a minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per acre or 5 gallons by air, or through sprinkler irrigations systems designed as described in the Chemigation section of this label. For continuous- move irrigation systems, apply the labeled rate in ½ acre-inch or more per acre. For stationary or non-continuous moving systems, inject TOPGUARD Fungicide spray mixture during the first 20-30 minutes of the set to insure fungicide reaches the soil surface. Applications should be made postemergence to alfalfa at the timing(s) outlined below.
