STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Dpi not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage and disposal. """ "1CIDE STORAGE: Store in the original container in a dry area. Do not store in a manner where cross-contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food or feed could occur. If spilled during storage or ing, sweep up spillage and dispose of in accordance with the Pesticide Disposal Instructions listed below. V -oTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be used according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. CONTAINER HANDLING: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Completely empty bag into application equipment. Then offer for recycling if available or dispose of empty bag in a sanitary landfill or by incineration or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke. Y GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION Apply NF44 70WP with ground equipment, using sufficient volume of spray to provide thorough coverage. Add required amount of NF44 70WP to partially filled tank agitated by mechanical or hydraulic means, and then add remaining required amount of water. Continuous agitation is required to keep the material in suspension. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. does not recommend tank mixes with highly alkaline pesticides, such as Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur. No claim of compatibility with other pesticides is implied. Use the higher rate under conditions of severe disease pressure. Also, see local State Extension Service recommendations for application schedules. Use a minimum spray volume of 20 gallons/A for row crops. Higher spray volume will generally result in better coverage and better disease control. Lack of control when using below minimum spray volumes is solely at the risk of the applicator/user, including use of electrostatic sprayers. For crops without labeled uses of thiophanate-methyl, observe a 30-day plantback restriction. ' RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT: To avoid the development of tolerant or resistant strains of fungi, NF44 70WP should always be tank-mixed with a fungicide of different chemistry, andtor a fungicide of different chemistry should be alternated with NF44 70WP. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIABENDAZOLE OR OTHER PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIOPHANATE-METHYL IN COMBINATION, IN ROTATION, OR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR NF44 70WP AS THEY ARE OF SIMILAR CHEMISTRY AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESISTANCE. If after using NF44 70WP as recommended, and the treatment is not effective, a tolerant or resistant strain of fungi may be present. Discontinue the use of NF44 70WP for at least one season. As long as these precautions are followed, NF44 70WP can be useful for disease control, even if resistant strains are present. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS , If other materials are to be added to the tank, especially fertilizers high in nitrogen or boron, wait until the NF44 70WP is fully dissolved before adding them. Once all materials have been added, fill the tank with the remaining volume of water. Maintain continuous agitation at all times, and use the spray suspension as soon as possible.
