DO NOT spray Quilt Xcel Fungicide where spray drift may reach apple trees.

Quilt Xcel Fungicide Page 6 DO NOT use spray equipment which has been previously used to apply Quilt Xcel Fungicide to spray apple trees. Even trace amounts can cause unacceptable phytotoxicity to certain apple and crabapple varieties. PRODUCT INFORMATION Quilt Xcel Fungicide is a broad-spectrum, preventative fungicide with systemic and curative properties specified for the control of many important plant diseases. Quilt Xcel Fungicide is a member of Syngenta’s Plant Performance™ product line and may also improve the yield and/or quality of the crop. These additional benefits are due to positive effects on plant physiology. The effects may vary according to other factors such as the crop, crop hybrid, or environment. Quilt Xcel Fungicide may be applied as a foliar spray in alternating spray programs or in tank mixes with other crop protection products. All applications must be made according to the use directions that follow. PRODUCT USE INSTRUCTIONS Application: Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Make up no more spray solution than is needed for application. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur. Adjuvants: For some uses on this label, a spreading/penetrating type adjuvant such as a non-ionic surfactant, crop oil concentrate, or blend may be added at the manufacturer's specified rates. Adjuvants that contain some form of silicone can contribute to phytotoxicity. When an adjuvant is used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification program is recommended. Crop Tolerance/Phytotoxicity: Quilt Xcel Fungicide demonstrates some phytotoxic effects when mixed with products that are formulated as ECs. These effects are enhanced if applications are made under cool, cloudy conditions and these conditions remain for several days following application. In addition, adjuvants that contain some form of silicone can contribute to phytotoxicity. Under certain environmental conditions, tank mixes of Quilt Xcel Fungicide plus herbicides and/or fertilizers may cause crop injury in barley, triticale and wheat. ATTENTION Quilt Xcel Fungicide is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple varieties. AVOID SPRAY DRIFT. Extreme care must be used to prevent injury to apple trees (and apple fruit). AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.

Quilt Xcel Fungicide Page 7 Efficacy: Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, use another registered fungicide for additional applications if maximum amount of Quilt Xcel Fungicide has been used. If resistant isolates to Group 3 or Group 11 fungicides are present, efficacy can be reduced. The higher rates in the rate range and/or shorter spray intervals may be required under conditions of heavy infection pressure, highly susceptible varieties, or when environmental conditions conducive to disease exist. Integrated Pest Management: Quilt Xcel Fungicide should be integrated into an overall disease and pest management strategy whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Cultural practices known to reduce disease development should be followed. The SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS section in this label identifies specific IPM recommendations for each crop. Consult your local agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area. Quilt Xcel Fungicide may be used in State Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT PROPICONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE AZOXYSTROBIN GROUP 11 FUNGICIDE For resistance management, please note that Quilt Xcel Fungicide contains both a Group 3 (propiconazole) and Group 11 (azoxystrobin) fungicides. Quilt Xcel Fungicide has two modes of action: (1) DMI (Demethylation Inhibitor) of sterol biosynthesis which disrupts membrane synthesis [Group 3], and (2) inhibitor of the Qo (quinone outside) site within the electron transport system which disrupts fungal respiration [Group 11]. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to either or both of the active ingredients in Quilt Xcel Fungicide and other Group 3 or Group 11 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: x Rotate the use of Quilt Xcel Fungicide or other Group 11 and 3 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. x 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. x 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.

Quilt Xcel Fungicide Page 8 x 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. x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta Crop Protection at 1-866-796-4368. You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance. Follow the specific crop directions that limit the total number of sprays on a crop and the required alternations with fungicides from other resistance management groups. In situations requiring multiple sprays, develop season long spray programs for Group 11 QoI (quinone outside inhibiting) fungicides. The program should meet the goal of no PRUHWKDQѿRIWKHWRWDOVSUD\VSHUVHDVRQZKHQD*URXSIXQJLFLGHLVXVHGDVD solo product, or ½ the total sprays when a Group 11 fungicide is used in a mixture. Programs that include both solo Group 11 products and/or mixes containing Group 11 products should be no more than ½ the total sprays. Quilt Xcel Fungicide should not be alternated or tank mixed with any fungicide to which resistance has already developed.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT Aerial Applications x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft. above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety. x Applicators are required to select nozzles that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572.1. x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft. x 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

Quilt Xcel Fungicide Page 10 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. x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. Ground Boom Applications x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy. x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S-572.1). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES x THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. x BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE The effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. 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 – Groundboom x 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 higher flow rate. x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Nozzle Type - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift. Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight. BOOM HEIGHT – Groundboom

Quilt Xcel Fungicide Page 11 x For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft x Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. SHIELDED SPRAYERS x 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 x When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS x 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. Their 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 air mixing. Avoid applications during temperature inversions. WIND x Drift potential increases at wind speeds. Do not apply at wind speeds below 3 mph. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. x Applicator need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. MIXING AND APPLICATION METHODS Quilt Xcel Fungicide may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making ground and aerial applications. Proper adjustments and calibration of spraying equipment to give good canopy penetration and coverage is essential for good disease control. Spray Equipment Nozzles x Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. x Nozzles should be the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom.

Quilt Xcel Fungicide Page 12 x Calibrate sprayer before use. x It is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. x Screens placed on suction side of pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. x Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. x Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. x Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations. Pump x Use a pump with capacity to: (1) Maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles. (2) Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension. Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation. For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturer’s and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural recommendations. Mixing Instructions x Quilt Xcel Fungicide is a suspoemulsion (SE) formulation. x Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. x Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. x Agitate the spray solution before and during application. x Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean water after each day’s use and dispose of pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area. Quilt Xcel Fungicide Alone (no tank mix) x Add ½-ҀRIWKHUHTXLUHGDPRXQWRIZDter to the spray or mixing tank. x With the agitator running, add Quilt Xcel Fungicide to the tank. x Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. x Begin application of the spray solution after Quilt Xcel Fungicide has completely dispersed into the mix water. x Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed. Quilt Xcel Fungicide + Tank Mixtures: Quilt Xcel Fungicide is usually compatible with all tank-mix partners listed on this label. Do not combine Quilt Xcel Fungicide in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers unless compatibility charts or your own prior use has shown that the combination is physically compatible, effective, and non-injurious to the crop under your conditions of use. To determine the physical compatibility of Quilt Xcel Fungicide with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart

Quilt Xcel Fungicide Page 13 jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt of water. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables (which includes suspoemulsions), followed by emulsifiable concentrates and additives/adjuvants last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture. Mixing in the Spray Tank x Add ½-ҀRIWKHUHTXLUHGDPRXQWRIZDWHUWRWKHVSUD\RUPL[LQJWDQN x With the agitator running, add the tank-mix partner(s) into the tank in the same order as described above in the “Quilt Xcel Fungicide + Tank Mixtures” section. x Allow the material to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water and the Quilt Xcel Fungicide to the spray tank. x Allow Quilt Xcel Fungicide to completely disperse. x Spray the mixture with the agitator running. x Observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank-mix product label. x No label dosage rate may be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed. x This product may not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing. Application Instructions Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Do not apply in a manner that will result in exposure to humans or animals. Ground Application x For field crops (non-trees), apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise. x For tree crops, apply in a minimum of 50 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise. x Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. x Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the crop canopy.

Quilt Xcel Fungicide Page 14 Aerial Application x Use only on crops where aerial applications are indicated. x For field crops (non-trees), apply in a minimum spray volume of 2 gallons per acre unless specified otherwise. x For ULV applications (corn), apply in a minimum spray volume of 1 gallon per acre. For ULV applications, thorough coverage is necessary to provide good results. Please refer to the “Application” instructions section for details regarding best practices to achieve good coverage. [Not for ULV use in California.] x For tree crops, apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise. x Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Application Through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) x Use only on crops for which chemigation is specified on this label. x Apply this product only through center pivot, solid set, hand move, or moving wheel irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. x Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. x Apply in 0.125-0.25 inches per acre of water. Excessive water may reduce efficacy. x If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. x Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. x 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 should the need arise.
