6J2-I Product Information Multiva™ fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide con- taining two active ingredients, pyraclostrobin and metconazole. Multiva provides systemic, curative and long-lasting residual control of target plant diseases. To maximize disease control, apply Multiva in a regularly scheduled protective spray program and use in a rotation program with other fungicides. Preventative applications of Multiva optimize disease con- trol resulting in improved plant health. The increase in plant health comes from the combined effect of disease control (including fungal diseases listed in Crop-specific directions), improved growth efficiency and improved stress tolerance. Overall increased plant health may result in an improve- ment in crop growth and crop quality as well as increased crop yields. Information regarding the contents and levels of metals in this product is available on the Internet at http://www.aapfco.org/metals.htm. Multiva is not for use in greenhouse or transplant production. Mode of Action Each of the components in Multiva provides a different mode of action against plant pathogenic fungi. Pyraclostrobin belongs to the group of respiration inhibitors classified by the US EPA and Canada PMRA as Quinone Outside Inhibitors (Qol) or target site of action Group 11 fungicides. Metconazole inhibits demethylation of sterol biosynthesis (DMI), disrupting cell membrane synthesis or target site of action Group 3 fungicides. Resistance Management Multiva contains pyraclostrobin, a Group 11 fungicide, and is effective against pathogens resistant to fungicides with modes of action different from those of Qol fungicides (target site Group 11), such as dicarboximides, sterol inhibitors, benzimidazoles, or phenylamides. Fungal isolates resistant to Group 11 fungicides, such as pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, fluoxastrobin, trifloxystrobin, and kresoxim-methyl, can eventually dominate the fungal population if Group 11 fungicides are used predominantly and repeatedly in the same field in successive years as the primary method of control for the targeted pathogen species. This can result in reduction of disease control by Multiva or other Group 11 fungicides. To maintain the performance of Multiva in the field, DO NOT exceed the maximum seasonal use rate or the total number of applications of Multiva per season and the maximum number of applications of Multiva stated in Restrictions and Limitations - All Crops and Table 2. Multiva™ fungicide Crop-specific Requirements. Follow the label instructions for use of Multiva or other target site of action Group 11 fungicides that have a similar site of action on the same pathogens. Resistance Management Advisory The following instructions may delay the development of fungicide resistance:
- Tank Mixtures - Use tank mixtures with effective fungi- cides from different target site of action groups that are registered/permitted for the same use and that are effec- tive against the pathogens of concern. Use at least the minimum labeled rates of each fungicide in the tank mix.
- IPM - Integrate Multiva into an overall disease and pest management program. Follow cultural practices known to reduce disease development. Consult your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or BASF representative for additional IPM strategies established for your area. Multiva can be used in agricultural exten- sion advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for .disease development.
- Monitoring - Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in the disease management program against the targeted pathogen and record other factors that may influence fungicide performance and/or disease development. Cleaning Spray Equipment Clean spray equipment thoroughly before and after apply- ing this product, particularly if a product with the potential to injure crops was used prior to Multiva. Directions For Use Through Sprinkler Irrigation Systems Sprayer Preparation Chemical tank and injector system must be thoroughly cleaned. Flush system with clean water. Application Instructions Apply Multiva at rates and timings as required in this label. Use Directions for Sprinkler Irrigation Applications • Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation sys- tems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irri- gation systems. DO NOT apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. • Add this product to the pesticide supply tank containing sufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by the injection equipment. In continuous moving systems, inject this product/water mixture continuously, applying the labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT exceed 1/2 inch (13,577 gallons) per acre. In stationary or non- continuous moving systems, inject the product/water mixture in the last 15 to 30 minutes of each set allowing sufficient time for all of the required pesticide to be applied by all the sprinkler heads and applying the
rlabeled rate per acre for that crop. 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-uni- form distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good control. Good agitation should be maintained during the entire application period. • If you have questions about calibration, you should con- tact state extension service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. • 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 func- tional, 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 with- drawn 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 function- al pressure switch that 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. • Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or under supervision of the responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise. • 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 in place. Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems
- 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 sys- tems 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 pesti- cide 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 shall 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.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function- al, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function- al, 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 with- drawn 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, 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 fit- ted with a system interlock. Application Instructions Apply Multiva™ fungicide rates as instructed by Table 2. Multiva™ fungicide Crop-specific Requirements. Apply Multiva with ground sprayer, aerial equipment or through sprinkler irrigation equipment. Check equipment frequently for calibration. Under low-level disease conditions, use minimum applica- tion rates. For severe or threatening disease conditions, use maximum application rates and shortened intervals. Ground Application DO NOT use less than. 5 gallons per acre (gpa) sray vol- ume for ground applications. Thorough coverage of foliage, blooms, and fruit is required for optimum disease control. The use of a nonionic surfactant at the lowest labeled rate may be used to improve spray coverage. Refer to the adju- vant product label for specific use directions. DO NOT use adjuvants that contain methylated seed oil, crop oil concentrate or crop oil with emulsifier properties. For ground application .to corn, refer to the Adjuvant or Crop Oil Use Limitations on Corn. Aerial Application For aerial application in New York State, DO NOT apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams,
- 11marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish ponds). DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift from target area. DO NOT use less than 2 gallons per acre (gpa) spray volume on barley, oats, rye, soybean, and sugarcane. DO NOT use less than 5 gallons per acre (gpa) spray vol- ume on cotton and sugar beets. Aerial applications of Multiva™ fungicide can be made to corn, triticale, and wheat in water volumes of 1 or more gallons per acre (gpa) of spray solution. A combination of spray nozzles and appropriate pressure should be selected to provide ASABE Standard S571.1 droplet size category of fine (Dyo.5 of > 180 urn) or coarser than fine. When appli- cations are made with a cross-wind, the swath needs to be displaced downwind. The applicator should compensate for this displacement at the downwind edge of the application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft. Aerial applicator needs to leave at least half swath unsprayed at the downwind edge of the treated area. For all aerial application volumes (gpa), the use of a non- ionic surfactant at the lowest labeled rate can be used to improve spray coverage. Refer to the adjuvant product label for specific use directions. Refer to Adjuvant or Crop Oil Use Limitations on Corn. DO NOT use adjuvants that contain methylated seed oil, crop oil concentrate or crop oil with emulsifier properties. Select spray nozzles, pumping pressure, and sprayer height to provide medium- to-fine spray droplets that penetrate throughout the crop canopy. Spray calibration must be conducted to confirm spray droplet sizes. Continue to monitor spray application (including weather conditions) to assure proper droplet size and canopy penetration. Adjuvant or Crop Oil Use Limitations on Corn Adjuvant crop damage can occur when an adjuvant or crop oil is used after the V8 stage and before the VT stage (the VT stage is defined as when the tassel's last branch is completely visible outside the whorl). If an adjuvant or crop oil is used after the V8 stage and before the VT stage, the grower and user are responsible for contacting the adju- vant source (adjuvant distributor, retailer, or manufacturer) for advice and confirmation that the adjuvant has been tested and proven to be safe for application from V8 to VT corn stage. Refer to adjuvant and/or crop oil labels for spe- cific use directions and restrictions. Always follow the most restrictive label. Another fungicide or an insecticide may be included in the tank mix if needed and labeled for use on corn. Refer to the tank mix pesticide product labels for specific use direc- tions and restrictions. Always follow the most restrictive label. Spray Drift Management DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond area intended for application. Conditions which may contribute to drift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction, spray nozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size, temperature/humidity, etc. Contact your state extension agent for spray drift prevention guidelines in your area. All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.- Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibil- ity of the applicator. Aerial Application Methods and Equipment The interaction of many equipment-related and weather- related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift to endangered species, unprotected persons, to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged, or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur. DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. The following drift management requirements must be fol- lowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements DO NOT apply to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations.
- The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or 90% of the rotor blade diameter.
- Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. Information on Droplet Size The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplet size consistent with acceptable efficacy. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind; Temperature and Humidity; and Temperature Inversions). Controlling droplet size: • Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. • Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer's recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. • Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz- zles that provide uniform coverage. • Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel to the air stream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is recommended
practice. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. • Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift. Wind DO NOT apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Drift potential is lowest when wind speed does not exceed 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type, determine drift potential at any given speed. Avoid applications below 2 mph due to variable wind direc- tion and high inversion potential. Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator must be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. Temperature and Humidity Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evapora- tion of spray droplets and, therefore, the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry. Temperature Inversions Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light, variable winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures 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 genera- tor. 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. Sensitive Areas Only apply the pesticide when the potential for drift to adja- cent sensitive areas (e.g. bodies of water or nontarget crops) is minimal and when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas. Additives and General Tank Mixing Information Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants may improve the performance of Multiva™ fungicide. However, under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants with Multiva can cause adverse phytotoxicity. The addition of a nitrogen-based fertilizer may result in some crop leaf .burn from the fertilizer. The addition of an emulsifiable concentrate (EC)-based insecticide can result in some crop leaf burn. DO NOT tank mix with products containing a prohibition against tank mixing. Follow the most restrictive labeling requirements of any tank mix product. Multiva can be tank mixed with most recommended fungi- cides. However, all varieties and cultivars have not been tested with possible tank mix combinations. Local condi- tions can also influence crop tolerance and may not match those under which BASF has conducted testing. Physical incompatibility, reduced disease control, or crop injury may result from mixing Multiva with other products. Therefore, before using any tank mix (fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants and additives), test the combination on a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phyto- toxic response will not occur as a result of application. Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural authori- ties for more information concerning additives. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant. Mixing Order

Ground Applications Directed or
Banded Sprays
The application rates shown in the following tables pertain
to both aerial and ground-(broadcast) methods of applica-
tion. Multiva may also be applied as a directed or banded
spray over the rows or plant beds with alleys or row mid-
dles left upsprayed. For such uses, reduce the labeled
Multiva rate in proportion to the area actually sprayed.
This adjustment is necessary to avoid applying the product
at use rates higher than permitted on this label.
Use the following formula to determine the broadcast
equivalent rate for applying directed or banded sprays:
sprayed bed width + unsprayed row middles
= total row width
sprayed bed width in inches broadcast rateX
total row width in inches treated acres
band rate

EXAMPLE: Directed spray application to 45-inch plant
beds separated by 15-inch unsprayed row middles at
12 fl ozs/A label broadcast rate.

Application Directions for Early Season Disease Control. Apply 6 to 9 fl ozs/A of Multiva either in combination
with a herbicide application or when conditions favor disease development prior to flag leaf emergence. When the early
season application is used, a second Multiva application (6 to 9 fl ozs/A) may be required to protect the emerged flag
leaf. Environmental conditions and disease pressure at the time of flag leaf emergence are factors to determine the
Multiva rate for the second application.
The minimum retreatment interval (RTI) is 6 days.
DO NOT harvest barley hay within 14 days of last'application.
The combination of an early season spray plus a second regular season application after flag leaf emergence must not
exceed 18 fl ozs/A per season.
Crop Tolerance. Under certain environmental conditions, Multiva demonstrates some phytotoxicity when mixed with
EC formulated herbicides or insecticides and/or fertilizers. The possibility of phytotoxicity increases if applications are
made under cool, cloudy conditions that persist for several days following application. Multiva applications with bro-
moxynil containing products can result in phytotoxicity if applied under cool, wet conditions.
Specific Use Requirements. Apply Multiva plus herbicide/insecticide tank mixes by air in a minimum of 5 gallons per
acre (gpa) total spray volume. If applied by ground, apply a minimum of 10 gpa. Lower gpa applications can increase
the risk of phytotoxicity. DO NOT use adjuvants that contain methylated seed oil, crop oil concentrate or crop oil with
emulsifier properties. DO NOT apply Multiva if the final spray solution contains fertilizer at a concentration greaterthan
20% on a v/v basis. DO NOT use early season Multiva applications in bromoxynil based herbicide tank mixes in barley.
*Early season disease control is not registered for use in California.
