Picatina Flora Page 4
User Safety Requirements
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
2.2.1 ENGINEERING CONTROL STATEMENTS
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft 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.
IMPORTANT: When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE specified above for “applicators and other handlers” and have such PPE immediately available for use in an emergency, such as a spill or equipment breakdown.
User Safety Recommendations
Users should: x Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling. x Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. x 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.
2.3 Environmental Hazards This pesticide is toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, and oysters and shrimp. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated area.
For terrestrial uses: Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
2.3.1 GROUND WATER ADVISORY
Pydiflumetofen and fludioxonil have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. Fludioxonil is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. Pydiflumetofen and
Picatina Flora Page 5
fludioxonil may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
2.3.2 SURFACE WATER ADVISORY
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. Fludioxonil has a high potential for runoff for several months or more after application, and pydiflumetofen is classified as having a medium potential for reaching both surface water and aquatic sediment via runoff several months or more after application.
A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water with pydiflumetofen and fludioxonil from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s potential to reach aquatic sediment via runoff.
2.4 Physical or Chemical Hazards Do not use or store near heat or open flame. Do not mix or allow to come into contact with oxidizing agents. Hazardous chemical reaction may occur.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION Read all label directions before use. All applications must be made according to the use directions that follow.
x Picatina Flora is intended for use by professional applicators. x Picatina Flora is a broad-spectrum, preventative fungicide for the control of many important plant diseases. x Picatina Flora is formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC). x Picatina Flora 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 the positive effects on plant physiology. The effects may vary according to factors such as the crop and variety and environment.
3.0.1 PLANT SAFETY Except for the plants noted in Section 6.2, Picatina Flora has been tested at the specified rates to the ornamental and vegetable plants listed in Sections 7.0 and 8.0 with no adverse crop effects observed. However, due to the large number of genera, species and varieties of ornamental and nursery plants, it is impossible to test every one for tolerance to Picatina Flora. Neither the manufacturer nor the seller has determined whether Picatina Flora can be used safely on all genera, species, or varieties of ornamental and nursery plants specified on this label. The user should conduct small- scale testing at the recommended rates to ensure plant safety prior to broad-scale commercial use on plant genera and species not listed in this label. When using an adjuvant or tank-mix partner, the user should conduct small-scale testing at the recommended rates to ensure plant safety prior to broad scale commercial use.
3.0.2 DISEASE SUPPRESSION If a use indicates suppression, it refers to erratic control from fair to good, or consistent control at a level below that obtained with products registered for control.
Picatina Flora Page 8
3.1 Integrated Pest (Disease) Management (IPM) x Picatina Flora should be integrated into an overall disease and pest management strategy whenever the use of a fungicide is required. x Cultural practices known to reduce disease development should be followed, including the selection of varieties with disease tolerance, removal of plant debris in which inoculum resides, and proper timing and placement of irrigation. x Consult your local agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area. x Picatina Flora may be used in State Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.
3.2 Resistance Management
PYDIFLUMETOFEN GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
For resistance management, please note that Picatina Flora contains both a Group 7 [pydiflumetofen] and Group 12 [fludioxonil] fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to either or both of the active ingredients in Picatina Flora and other Group 7 or Group 12 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 Picatina Flora or other Group 7 and 12 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. 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.
Picatina Flora Page 9
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta Crop Protection at 1-866-796-4368. You can also contact your university extension specialist to report resistance.
As part of a resistance management strategy: x Apply a maximum of 4 foliar sprays or 2 drench applications per crop per year unless otherwise stated in the specific use directions. x Apply no more than 2 sequential applications unless otherwise stated in the specific use directions.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 4.1 Methods of Application Apply Picatina Flora at the rates specified in Sections 7.0 and 8.0. Applications can be made by ground or via chemigation as specified.
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING RESTRICTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, ESTUARIES, AND COMMERCIAL FISH FARM PONDS.
x Do not apply within 75 ft of bodies of water such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers, permanent streams, natural ponds, marshes, or estuaries. x For all plantings within 150 ft of bodies of water as described above, spray crops from outside the planting away from the bodies of water. x Shut off the sprayer when at row ends. x Spray last three rows windward of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed away from aquatic areas. x Do not cultivate within 10 ft of aquatic areas as to allow a vegetative filter strip. x Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. Do not apply when gusts or sustained winds exceed 10 mph. x Do not apply during a temperature inversion. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in humid areas.

4.2 Application Equipment Picatina Flora may be applied with application equipment commonly used for greenhouse and nursery plant production. x See Section 4.5 for information about chemigation equipment. x Application equipment configuration should be arranged to provide accurate, uniform and thorough coverage of the target crop and minimize potential for spray drift. x To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. x For information on application equipment and calibration, consult application equipment manufacturers and/or state recommendations x All application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage See Sections 4.1.2, 7.0, and 8.0 for additional application volume information. x Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good foliar disease control. x Make foliar applications in an adequate water volume to achieve thorough and uniform coverage without excessive runoff (to drip). x Avoid spray overlap, as plant injury may occur.
4.4 Mixing Directions x Thoroughly clean application equipment before using this product. x Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. x Agitate the spray solution before and during application.
Picatina Flora Page 11
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. x It is not recommended to allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods of time (> 3 hours) without agitation. Delayed application may cause product to settle and be difficult to re-suspend. If this occurs, resume agitation for a minimum of 15 minutes to ensure the product is re-suspended before making an application.
4.4.1 PICATINA FLORA ALONE x Add ½-Ҁ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. x With the agitator running, add Picatina Flora to the tank. x Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. x Begin application of the spray solution after Picatina Flora has completely dispersed into the mix water. x Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.
4.4.2 TANK-MIX PRECAUTIONS
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.
x Picatina Flora can be tank-mixed with other fungicides, insecticides, liquid fertilizers, adjuvants, and additives; however, not all combinations or environmental conditions have been tested. x To ensure against plant injury, the safety to the target plants should be confirmed.
4.4.3 TANK-MIX COMPATIBILITY A jar compatibility test is recommended prior to tank-mixing with other pesticides and/or adjuvants, in order to ensure the compatibility of Picatina Flora with other tank-mixed pesticide, adjuvant or fertilizer partners. The recommended procedure for conducting jar tank-mix compatibility tests is as follows:
Compatibility Test: Always conduct a tank-mix compatibility test when mixing with new or unknown tank-mix partners before use. Check tank-mix compatibility using this procedure:
-
Add 1 pt of carrier (the water to be used in the spray operation) to each of two clear 1-qt jars with tight lids.
-
To one of the jars, add ¼ tsp or 1.2 milliliters of a commercially available tank- mix compatibility agent approved for this use (¼ tsp is equivalent to 2 pt/100 gallons spray). Close and seal the lid, Invert the jar, shake, or stir gently to ensure thorough mixing.
Picatina Flora Page 12
-
To both jars, add the proportionate amount of each tank-mix partner. If more than one tank-mix partner is to be used, follow the recommended mixing order listed in Section 4.4.4 by adding dry formulations (wettable powders or water dispersible granules) first, followed by liquid flowables, capsule suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates and finally add adjuvants. After each addition, invert the jar, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix.
-
After adding all ingredients, put lids on and seal the lids, Invert each jar 10 times to fully mix. Let the mixtures stand for 15-30 minutes and then assess by looking for separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the application mixture by comparing the 2 jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (A) Slurry dry formulations in water before adding to the jar, or (B) add the compatibility agent directly into liquid formulations, before addition to the jar. If these procedures are followed but incompatibility is still observed, do not use the tank mixture.
4.4.4 PICATINA FLORA IN TANK MIXTURES x Add ½- Ҁ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. x With the agitator running, add the tank-mix partner(s) in this order: 1 water-soluble packaging 2 wettable powders 3 wettable granules (dry flowables) 4 liquid flowables (such as Picatina Flora) 5 emulsifiable concentrates 6 surfactants/adjuvants. x Allow each product to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water before adding the next product and continue agitation until all products are added. x Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water to the spray tank. x Begin application of the mixture after all products have been completely dispersed into the application mixture. x Maintain agitation until all of the application mixture has been applied.
4.4.5 SPRAY ADDITIVES x For some uses on this label, a spreading/penetrating type adjuvant such as a non- ionic surfactant, silicone-based, or blend may be added at the manufacturer’s recommended rates to improve coverage on waxy or hard-to-wet plant surfaces. x Note: Use with oils or adjuvants may cause plant damage. x When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the standards of the Council of Producers and Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) adjuvant certification program is recommended.
Picatina Flora Page 13
x When using an adjuvant or tank-mix partner, the user should conduct small-scale testing at the recommended rates to ensure plant safety prior to broad scale commercial use.
4.5 Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation)
4.5.1 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS (CHEMIGATION) x Apply this product only through hand-held, micro-irrigation irrigation systems either alone or with other pesticides that are registered for application through irrigation systems. Dilution ratios are typically 1:100 to 1:200. Do not use in overhead irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. x Plant injury and/or poor disease control can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. 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.
Motorized Calibrated Irrigation x Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers. x Fill injector solution tank with water and adjust flow rate to use the contents over a 20- to 30-minute interval. When applying Picatina Flora through irrigation equipment, use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. x Determine the amount of Picatina Flora required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. x Add the required amount of Picatina Flora into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period. x Operate the system at the same pressure and time interval established during the calibration. x Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until the Picatina Flora solution has cleared the last sprinkler head.
4.5.2 OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
- 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
Picatina Flora Page 14
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. 4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 5. The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor 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 fitted with a system interlock. 7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
4.5.3 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
- 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.
- Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back-flow 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 should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the flow 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.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must 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, or, in cases where there is no water pump, 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.
- Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

6.3 Spray Drift Management x THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. x Do not apply when conditions favor drift beyond the target area. x The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. x DO NOT apply when the wind speed is greater than 10 mph or during periods of temperature inversions. x Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas to non-target aquatic habitat.
6.3.1 Outdoor Ground Applications: x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the ground or crop canopy unless making a pasture or rangeland application, in which case applicators may apply with a nozzle height no more than 4 feet above the ground. x For all other outdoor applications, applicators are required to use a coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
6.3.2 Importance of Droplet Size: x An 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.
6.3.3 CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – Ground Boom
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 a higher flow rate. x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
6.3.4 BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
6.3.5 Boom-less Ground Applications: x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for
Picatina Flora Page 18
spray drift.
6.3.6 Handheld Technology Applications: x Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
6.3.7 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.
6.3.8 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
6.3.9 WIND Drift potential is lowest when wind speeds are 10 mph or less. However, many factors, including droplet size, pressure, and equipment type determine drift potential at any given wind speed. Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
6.3.10 TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS x Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions. x Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. x Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified 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.
6.3.11 NON-TARGET AREAS Do not apply this pesticide when the product may drift to non-target areas (i.e. residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops).
