2 Precautionary Statements Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Applicators and other handlers must wear: • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants • Chemical-resistant gloves made of waterproof material (barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, or Viton ≥ 14 mils) • Shoes plus socks Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Engineering Controls Statement When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air- craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], 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. • Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. Environmental Hazards This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT apply directly to water, areas where surface water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters or rinsate. Groundwater Advisory This chemical has properties and characteristics associat- ed with chemicals detected in groundwater. Pyraclostrobin is known to leach through soil into groundwater under cer- tain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. FIRST AID If swallowed • Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice. • Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow. • DO NOT induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor. • DO NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. If in eyes • Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes. • Remove contact lenses, if present, after first 5 minutes; then continue rinsing eyes. • Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If on skin or clothing • Take off contaminated clothing. • Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes. • Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice. If inhaled • Move person to fresh air. • If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance; then give artificial respiration, preferably by mouth to mouth, if possible. • Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice. Note to Physician: May pose an aspiration pneumonia hazard. HOTLINE NUMBER Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor or going for treatment. You may also contact BASF Agricultural Solutions US LLC (hereafter “BASF”) for emergency medical treatment infor- mation: 1-800-832-HELP (4357).

3 Surface Water Advisory This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly drain- ing soils and soils with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after applica- tion. 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 pyraclostrobin from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irriga- tion is expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface water contamination. Directions For Use It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a man- ner inconsistent with its labeling. DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other per- sons, 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. AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard (WPS), 40 CFR part 170.

General Information This package contains BAS 500 20 F fungicide, an aqueous capsule suspension. The active ingredient in BAS 500 20 F, pyraclostrobin, is a member of the strobilurin class of chemistry and is derived from a natural antifungal substance. Preventive applications opti- mize disease control, resulting in improved plant health. To maximize disease control, apply BAS 500 20 F in a regularly scheduled protective spray program and use in a rotation program with other fungicides. Because of its high specific activity, BAS 500 20 F has good residual activity against target fungi. BAS 500 20 F is not for use in greenhouse or transplant production. Mode of Action Pyraclostrobin, the active ingredient of BAS 500 20 F, belongs to the group of respiration inhibitors classified by the U.S. EPA and Canada PMRA as Quinone Outside Inhibitors (QoI), or target site of action Group 11 fungicides. Resistance Management BAS 500 20 F contains pyraclostrobin, a Group 11 fungicide, and is effective against pathogens resistant to fungicides with modes of action different from those of QoI 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, may 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 spe- cies. This may result in reduction of disease control by BAS 500 20 F or other Group 11 fungicides. Follow label instructions regarding the use of BAS 500 20 F or other target site of action Group 11 fungicides that have a simi- lar site of action on the same pathogens. When using a Group 11 fungicide as a solo product, the number of applications must be no more than 1/3 of the total number of fungicide applications per season. In programs in which tank mixes or pre-mixes of a Group 11 fungicide with a fungicide of another group are utilized, the number of Group 11 fungicide (QoI)- containing applications should be no more than 1/2 of the total num- ber of fungicide applications per season. In programs in which applications of Group 11 fungicides are made with both solo products and mixtures, the num- ber of Group 11 fungicide (Qol)-containing applications should be no more than 1/2 of the total number of fungi- cide applications per season. For resistance management, BAS 500 20 F contains a Group 11 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to BAS 500 20 F and other Group 11 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest con- trol may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance- management strategies should be followed.

5 To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the fol- lowing steps: • Rotate the use of BAS 500 20 F fungicide or other Group 11 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. • Use tank mixtures with fungicides from different target- site-of-action groups that are registered/permitted for the same use and that are effective against the pathogens of concern. 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 infor- mation related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environ- mental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemi- cal control practices to reduce disease development. • Consult your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or BASF representative for additional IPM strategies established for your area. BAS 500 20 F can be used in agricultural extension advisory (disease fore- casting) programs, which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development. • 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. • 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. If a Group 11 target-site fungicide, such as BAS 500 20 F, appears to be less effective against a pathogen that it previously controlled or suppressed, contact a BASF representa- tive, local extension specialist, or certified crop advisor for further investigation. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance- management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. Application Instructions Apply rate of BAS 500 20 F as instructed in BAS 500 20 F fungicide Crop-specific Requirements . Apply BAS 500 20 F with ground sprayer, aerial equipment or through sprinkler irrigation equipment. Check equipment frequently for calibration. Under low-level disease conditions, the minimum applica- tion rates can be used while maximum application rates and shortened spray schedules are recommended for severe or threatening disease conditions. The use of a crop oil or adjuvant may be used to improve spray coverage. Refer to the adjuvant product label for specific use directions and restrictions. For optimum results in cases of high disease pressure, use a minimum spray volume of 4 gpa. Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural authori- ty for more information concerning additives. Cleaning Spray Equipment Spraying equipment must be cleaned thoroughly before and after applying this product, particularly if a product with the potential to injure crops was used prior to BAS 500 20 F. Ground Application Apply BAS 500 20 F in sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Thorough coverage is required for optimum disease control. Instructions for Directed or Banded Sprays Related to Ground Applications The application rate shown in BAS 500 20 F fungicide Crop-specific Requirements pertains to both aerial and ground (broadcast) methods of application. BAS 500 20 F may also be applied as a directed or banded spray over the rows or plant beds with alleys or row middles left unsprayed. For such uses, reduce the rate of BAS 500 20 F in proportion to the area actually sprayed. This adjustment is necessary to prevent applying the prod- uct at use rates higher than permitted on this label. The following formula may be used to determine the broadcast equivalent rate for doing directed or banded sprays: sprayed bed width + unsprayed row middles = total row width sprayed bed width in inches x broadcast rate = band rate total row width in inches treated acre field acre Example: A directed spray application will be made to 45-inch plant beds separated by 15 inches of unsprayed row-middles. 45 inches sprayed bed width + 15 inches unsprayed row middles = 60 inches total row width The calculations to determine the appropriate equivalent rate of product to use for this situation based on a label broadcast rate of 6 fl ozs/acre follows: 45 inches sprayed bed width x 6 fl ozs BAS 500 20 F= 4.5 fl ozs BAS 500 20 F 60 inches total row width treated acre field acre

6 Aerial Application Unless otherwise specified on this label, use no less than 2 gallons of spray solution per acre. Aerial applications of BAS 500 20 F fungicide may be made in water volumes of 2 or more gallons of spray solu- tion per acre (gpa). Select spray nozzles, pumping pressure, and sprayer height to provide 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. No aerial application in New York State except as permitted under FIFRA Section 24(c), Special Local Need Registration. 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 unprotected persons, to food, forage, or other plantings that might be damaged, or crops thereof rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur. The following drift management requirements must be fol- lowed to avoid off-target drift movement to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply to forestry appli- cations, public health uses or to applications using dry formulations. Mandatory Spray Drift Management Aerial Applications: • DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a great- er application height is necessary for pilot safety. • Applicators are required to select nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S641). • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed- wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters • If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applica- tors must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the windspeed is between 11 to 15 miles per hour, applicators must use 3/4 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. (continued) Mandatory Spray Drift Management (continued) Ground Boom Applications: • User must only apply with the release height recom- mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 ft above the ground or crop canopy. • Applicators are required to select nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572). • DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. • DO NOT apply during temperature inversions. 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 drop- lets. 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 recommend- ed 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’ recom- mendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. Boom Height - Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should 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. Temperature and Humidity When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.

7 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 mixing. Avoid applica- tions 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. Boomless Ground Applications Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray drift. Handheld Technology Applications Take precautions to minimize spray drift. Directions For Use Through Sprinkler Irrigation Systems Sprayer Preparation Chemical tank and injector system should be thoroughly cleaned. Flush system with clean water. Application Instructions Apply BAS 500 20 F fungicide at rates and timings as required in this label. Use Precautions 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 labeled 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- uniform distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good control. Maintain good agi- tation during the entire application period. • Contact state extension service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts for further investigation. • 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 (including green- house systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safe- ty devices for public water systems are in place. Specific Instructions for Public Water 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 sys- tems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, backflow 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

8 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 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 fit- ted with a system interlock. Additives and Tank Mixing Information BAS 500 20 F fungicide can be tank mixed with most recommended fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants, and additives as specified in BAS 500 20 F fungicide Crop-specific Requirements . Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants may improve the performance of BAS 500 20 F. However, all varieties and cultivars have not been tested with possi- ble tank mix combinations. Local conditions can also influence crop tolerance and may not match those under which BASF has conducted testing. Physical incompatibili- ty, reduced disease control, or crop injury may result from mixing BAS 500 20 F with other products. Therefore, before using any tank mix (fungicides, insecticides, herbi- cides, 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 phytotox- ic response will not occur as a result of application. Always follow the most restrictive label. When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF recommends the use of a Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology certified adjuvant. Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural authori- ties for more information concerning additives. Mixing Order
