) -3- 5 General Information Apron SOW is a systemic fungicide seed dressing specifically for control of systemic downy mildews and diseases caused by soil­ borne Pythium and Phytophthora spp. When a rate range is speci­ fied, use higher rates of Apron SOW when the disease pressure is expected to be high. For control of other soil borne diseases, such as Rhizoctonia spp., Apron SOW should be applied in combination with other registered seed dressing fungicides. : Apron SOW is a systemic fungicide having a specific mode of actlon. Apron SOW could be subject to development of insen­ sitive strains of fungi. Development of insensitivity cannot be predicted. Therefore, Ciba-Geigy cannot assume liability for crop damage resulting from inensitive strains of fungi. Con­ sult with your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Exte­ sion Service Specialist for guidance and ways to control any possible Apron SOW insensitive strains of fungi which may occur. Apron SOW may be applied as a wct:"!r-based slurry with other reg­ istered seed treatment insecticides and fungicides through stan­ dard slurry- or mist-type commercial seed treatment equipment. Mixing Instructions Prepare no more mixture than is necessary for the immediate operation. Agitate thoroughly before and during application. Mechanical agitation is required for proper mixing of Apron SOW soluble prepacks. Apron SOW Alone: Add all of the required water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, drop the required number of unopened soluble bags of Apron SOW into the tank. Bgin application of the spray solution after the soluble bags have disqolved, and the material has completely dispersed into the mix water. Main­ tain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. / IS Apron SOW + Tank Mixtures: Add all of the required water tc ~e mix tank. With the agitator running, drop the required nuar of unopened soluble bags of Apron SOW into the tank at once. Tank mix partners may be added when the Apron SOW so:iuo:e bag and their contents have dissolved and dispersed into thd mix water. Continue agitation when adding the tank mix pirtners. Spray the mixture with the agitator running. ... I • I • • • Precautions: (1) When more than one product is packaged in.sol­ uble bags, mix all of those products together at once. Add·ao1· other products after the soluble bags have co.nplete1y dis1;o+vq.!li and the materials have completely dispersed into the mix wat~T.· (2) The maximum recommended concentration of Apron SOW in slur­ ries is 7 oz. of Apron SOW in 10 oz. of water per 100 1bs. of seed.
