4 AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI). Exemption: The Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated. Do not enter or allow workers entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI). The REI for each crop is listed in the directions for use associated with that crop. Exemption: If this product is applied by drenching or if treated seed is soil-injected or soil incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated. PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, including plants, soil, or water, is: x Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants, x Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, x Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, x Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead exposures. PRODUCT APPLICATION AND INSTRUCTIONS RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, Thiophanate-Methyl 4.1 SC contains a Group 1 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Thiophanate-Methyl 4.1 SC and other Group 1 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 Thiophanate-Methyl 4.1 SC Fungicide or other Group 1 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. • 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.

5 • 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 directions for specific crops and pathogens. • For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. at 212-490-0350. You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance." INSTRUCTIONS Apply Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC with ground or aerial equipment, using sufficient volume of spray to provide thorough coverage. Continuous agitation is required to keep the material in suspension. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. does not advise tank mixes with highly alkaline pesticides, including 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, s ee local State Extension Service directions for application schedules. Use the fl. oz./Acre rate for concentrate sprays (less than 400 gallons on apples, less than 300 gallons on stone fruit). Use the fl. oz./100 gal. rate for dilute ground applications. For aerial applications, use a minimum of 5 gallons/A for row crops, and a minimum of 10 gallons/A for tree crops. For ground applications use a minimum of 20 gallons/A for row crops and 30 gallons/A for tree 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. Chemigation instructions follow. Do not apply through any irriga tion system unless these instructions are followed. For crops without labeled uses of thiophanate-methyl, observe a 30-day plantback restriction. Use on all labeled non-bearing tree fruit and tree nuts: Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC may be used for control of the diseases listed on the label for these crops during the non-

6 bearing years of new plantings, and on nursery stock. All use directions and limitations must be followed, except for the PHI, which is not applicable. Begin applications as disease is first observed or expected. Tank mixing with a protectant fungicide is strongly advised for resistance management. Crops/ REI Diseases FL. OZ./ Acre (lb. a.i./A) FL.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE THROUGH CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS USE IN CALIFORNIA BY CHEMIGATION ONLY FOR BEANS, CUCURBITS (CANTALOPE, CASABA, CUCUMBERS, MELONS, PUMPKINS, SQUASH, WATERMELONS), PEANUTS, POTATOES, SOYBEANS, STRAWBERRIES, AND SUGAR BEETS. Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, solid set or hand move; or drip (mini-micro sprinklers, strip tubing, trickle) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treated water. If you have any questions about calibration, you must contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. 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 if needed. Do not connect chemigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide irrigation to any public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. Public water system means a system for the provision of piped water for human consumption if such a 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. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced- pressure zone, backflow 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 needs to 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. Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following requirements: 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 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. 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 functional pressure switch which will stop the

22 water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must use a metering 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. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above. Apply Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC only through systems containing anti-syphon and check valves designed to prevent water source contamination or overflow of the mix tank and containing interlocking controls between the metering device and the water pump to insure simultaneous shut-off. Maintain a gentle continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure a uniform suspension. Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of a more dilute suspension per unit time. Application of more than specified quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in decreased product performance. Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease control may result. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC may be applied in conjunction with chemically neutral liquid fertilizers. Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, including aqueous ammonia, is likely to cause a degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reduced performance and needs to be avoided. RESTRICTIONS: Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connections or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide uniform distribution or when lines containing the product cannot be flushed and must be dismantled and drained. In a center pivot system, block the nozzle set nearest the well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray being applied to this area. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. SPRAY PREPARATION: Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical tank and entire injector system. Flush with clean water. Prepare a suspension of Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC in a mix tank. Fill the tank with ½ or ¾ the desired amount of water. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Slowly add the required amount of Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC and then the remaining volume of water. Sprinkler Irrigation - Notes Observe all System Requirements and Application Instructions above. Set sprinkler system to deliver a maximum of 0.4 inch of water per acre. Volumes of water higher than this may reduce efficacy. Start sprinkler and then uniformly inject the suspension of Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rate per acre. The suspension of Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC needs to be injected with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right angle turn to ensure adequate mixing. When treatment with Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC has been completed, do not irrigate the treated area for 24 to 48 hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop.

23 Where sprinkler distributed patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease control may result. Check local restrictions and requirements regarding sprinkler irrigation applications, as they may vary from state to state. Drip (Mini-Micro Sprinklers, Strip Tubing, Trickle) Irrigation -N o t e s Observe all System Requirements and Application Instructions above. A pesticide supply tank is advised. SEED TREATMENT USE PRODUCT APPLICATION AND INSTRUCTIONS Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC is an effective fungicide for seed treatment that provides early season protection of seedlings against rhizoctonia. Seed needs to be sound and well-cured before treatment. Read and follow carefully all label directions of each combination product. When using combinations of products, the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions must be followed. Seed Treatment Equipment: Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC may be used both for commercial and for on-farm application. It can be applied with mechanical, slurry, or mist-type seed treating equipment, as long as the equipment can be calibrated to accurately and uniformly apply the product to seed without undue mechanical damage to the seed. Uniform application to s eed is important for all seed treatment products. Treatment of mechanically damaged seed or seed of low vigor or poor quality may result in reduced germination. Treat and conduct germination tests on a small test sample of seed before using this product on commercial quantities. Due to seed quality and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. (Nisso), Nisso makes no claims or guarantees as to germination of carry-over seed. PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS Seed needs to be sound and well-cured before treatment. Refer to the label rates below. Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC is typically diluted with water and/or mixed with other products to attain an appropriate slurry application volume (fl. oz./cwt slurry rates) to provide effective treating. The appropriate volume of slurry depends on crop, weather, type of treater and other factors and needs to be adjusted as per normal treating practices for the circumstances. Contact your local supplier or distributor representative for specific directions. TO ENSURE UNIFORMITY, MIX PRODUCT WELL BEFORE USE.

24 Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC plus water and/or other treatments need to be mixed thoroughly prior to treating seed. Recalibrate treating equipment to compensate for the required slurry rate to ensure all products are applied at the correct rate. Restrictions: Do not use Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC in combination with other seed treatment products unless compatibility has been verified.
