DuPont BENLA TE® SP should be used only in accordance with the recommendations on this label, or the recommendations in separate DuPont publications available through local dealers. DuPont will not be responsible for losses or damages resulting from use of this product in any manner not specifically recommended by DuPont. User assumes all risk associated with such nonrecommended use. Do not formulate this product into other end-use products without written permission from DuPont. 2 GENERAL INFORMATION BENLA TE® SP is a systemic fungicide recommended for the control of many important plant diseases. Apply as a spray with ground equipment, except as otherwise directed in the "CroplRate Table", using sufficient water 10 obtain thorough coverage of plants. Application by air or chemigation is pennitted for some crops. Under severe disease conditions, use the higher treattnent rate and shorter interval for repeat applications as specified on the label for each crop. Large mature !tees will also require the higher labeled rate. Use only in commercial or farm plantings. Not for use in home plantings nor once any commercial crop is turned into "V-Pick", "Pick Your Own" or similar operation. Resistance Management Iftreattnenl with BENLATE® SP is not effective, a benomyl­ resistant strain of the fungus may be present. If this is the case, neither BENLA TE® SP nor any other benzimidazole-or thiophanate-type fungicide will effectively control that disease. Consider prompt use of other types of suitable fungicides. Repeated, exclusive use ofBENLATE® SP may lead to buildup of resistant strains of fungi and loss of disease control. A spray program alternating BENLA TE® SP use with other fungicides may delay buildup of resistant strains. For guidance on your particular crop and disease control situation, consult your state extension specialist or official state recommendations. Integrated Pest Management DuPont recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control pests. This product may be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (!PM) program which can include biological, cultural, and genetic praetices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of this product should be based on !PM principles and practices including field scouting or other detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when target pest populations reach locally detennined action thresholds. Consult your state cooperative extension service, professional consultants or other qualified authorities to determine appropriate action treatment threshold levels for treating specific pest/crop or site systems in your area. Preparation of Spray Mixture Add the required amount ofBENLATE® SP to the necessary volume of water in the spray tank; continuously agitate the tank by hydraulic or mechanical means to keep the material in suspension. Do not tank mix BENLA TE® SP with lime or alkaline pesticides such as Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur. Do not hold slunies for more than 12 hours. When the use of a spray oil is recommended (for crops such as apples, peanuts, pecans, and stone fruits), use a nonph)-1otoxic superior-type spray oil (60 to 70 second viscosity); add oil as last ingredient to spray tank. Consult product labels before applying other pesticides in conjunetion with spray oil or immediately before or after an oil application. Follow label instructions for each product used in tank mixtures; observe all precautions and restrietions.

( DuPont BENLATE® SP is a 50% active ingredient wettable powder formulation premeasured in lib (16 oz) polyvinyl alcohol (PV A) water soluble packets. Rates on the label in pounds per acre are equivalent to packets per acre. CAREFULLY OPEN ENVEWPE AND IMMEDIATELY DROP INNER PACKET INfO SPRAY TANK. THE INNER PACKETS CANNOT BE OPENED UNLESS PERMITTED FOR A SPECIFIC USE BY EPA­ APPROVED OR STATE-APPROVED LABELING. Tank mixtures with liquid fertilizer or solutions containing Boron will affect solubility of the water soluble fihn. When using fertilizers or Boron containing solutions follow these procedures: I. Add the correct amOWlt ofBENLATE® SP to clean water. 2. Be sure the soluble packets are completely dissolved. 3. Introduce the fertilizer or Boron containing solutions last.

Do not use on greenhouse crops, including hydroponically grown crops. Do not use on any container-grown crops. Do not use on ornamentals. 3 S l IS CHEMIGATION Apply BENLA TE® SP only through sprinkler irrigation, including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set or hand move irrigation systems only on beans, carrots, celery, cucurbits, peanuts, strawberries or tomatoes. Do not apply BENLA TE® SP to any other crops using chernigation unless permitted by supplemental labeling. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, <r illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform 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 used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label­ prescribed safety devices for public water systems are m 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. Specific Instructions lor Public Wilier Systems

1. 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.
2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, backflow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the " .. ter . supply line upstream from the point ofpes!Iclde mtroductIon. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system shonld be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the outlet end of the fill pIpe and the top or overflow rim of the reseryoir tank of at least mice the inside diameter of the fill pipe.
3. The pesticide irliection pipeline must contain a functional automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The 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 "ithdra\11 from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
5. The S"stem must contain functional interlocking controls 10 auto~tically 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.
6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive disp1acement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed and constructed of materials that are compalIble with pesticides and capable ofbeing fitted with a system interlock.
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

( Specific Instructions for Sprinkler Irrigolion Systems

1. The system must contain a functional check val ve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately located on the inigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from backflow.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automaric, 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 functioual interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water 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, 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.
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. S. Good agitation is required in the injection tank.
8. In moving systems, apply specified dosage of DuPont BENLA TE® SP as a continuous injection. In nonmoving systems inject BENLATE® SP for 15 to 30 minutes at end of cycle. Use the least amount of water possible consistent with tutiform coverage.
9. Mix the amount ofBENLA TE® SP needed for acreage to be treated into the quantity of water determined during prior calibration. For moving systems inject into the system continuously for one complete revolution of the field. For nonmoving systems inject into system for the time established during calibration. II. Stop injecrion equipment after treatment is completed and continue to operate irrigation equipment until all BENLA TE® SP is flushed from system. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT The interaction of many equipment-and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSmlLiTY OF THE APPLICATOR. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets (> 150 - 200 microns). The best drift management strategy is to apply the l~est droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. The presence of sensitive species nearby, the environmental conditions, and pest pressure may affect how an applicator balances drift control and coverage. APPLYING LARGER DROPLETS REDUCES DRIFT POTENTIAL, BUT 4 WILL NOT PREVENT DRIFT IF APPLICATIONS ARE MADE IMPROPERLY OR UNDER UNFAVORABLE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS! See Wmd, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions sections of this label. Controlling Droplet Size - General Techniques • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 6 }- IJ Pressure - Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size and does not improve canopy penetration. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USEAHIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed roc the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft • Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles with the highest flow rate that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is emitted backwards, parallel to the airstream will produce larger droplets than other orientations. Nozzle Type - Solid stream nozzles (such as disc and core with swirl plate removed) oriented straight back prnduce larger droplets than other nozzle types. Boom Length - The boom length should not exceed 3/4 of the wing or rotor length - longer boooos increase drift potential. • Application Height - Application more than lOft above the canopy increases the potential for spray drift. BOOMHBGHT Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. WIND Drift potential increases at wind speeds ofless than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind spee<L AVOID GUSTY AND WINDLESS CONDITIONS. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they effect spray drift. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDrTY When making applications in hot and "-1' conditions, set up equipment to prnduce larger droplets 10 reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a concentrated cloud- Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into

( the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laternlly in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air ntixing. Note: Air assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. Consult the application equipment section of this label to determine ifuse of an air assisted sprayer is recommended. AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST) TREE AND VINE SPRAYERS SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind. However, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verity that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with Wliform deposition of the product. Air assisted tree and vine sprayers C311)' droplets into the canopy of trees and vines via a radially or laterally directed air stream. AIR ASSISTED (AIR BLAST) RELD CROP SPRAYERS In addition to the general drift management principles already described, the following specific practices will further reduce the potential for drift: • Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy. Air assisted field crop sprayers C311)' droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some may reduce the potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the applicatioo and/or set up improperly, high drift potential can result. It is the responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, is configured properly, and that drift is not occurring. • Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy. • Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage. • Do not allow spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area. Spray the outside row only from outside the planting.
