PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS WARNING / AVISO Causes substantial but temporary eye injury. Harmful if swallowed. Do not get in eyes or on clothing. Avoid contact with skin or clothing. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) All handlers must wear: x Lonq-sleeved shirt and long pants x Chemical resistant gloves made of any waterproof material such as barrier laminate, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, or viton. x Shoes plus socks x Protective eyewear (goggles, face shield, or safety glasses) In addition, mixers/loaders/applicators using mechanically pressurized handwands must wear: x A minimum of a NIOSH-approved partic ulate filtering facepiece respirator with any N, R or P filter; OR a NIOSH-approved elastomeri c particulate respirator with any N, R or P filter; OR a NIOSH-approved powered air purifying respirator with HE filters. Human flagging is prohibited. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/m aintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. Respirator fit testing, medical qualification, and training Using a program that conforms to OSHA's requirements (see 29 CFR Part 1910.134), employers must verify that any handler who uses a respirator is: • Fit-tested and fit-checked, • Trained, and • Examined by a qualified medical practitioner to ensure physical ability to safely wear the style of respirator to be worn. A qualified medical practitioner is a physi cian or other licensed health care professional who will evaluate the ability of a worker to wear a respirat or. The initial evaluation co nsists of a questionnaire that asks about medical conditions (s uch as a heart condition) that wo uld be problematic for respirator use. If concerns are identified, then additional evaluations, such as a physical exam, might be necessary. The initial evaluation must be done before respirat or use begins. Handlers must be reexamined by a qualified medical practitioner if their health status or respirator style or use conditions change. Upon request by local/state/federal/tribal enforcement personnel, employers must provide documentation demonstrating how they have complied with these requirements.
Page 3 Engineering Controls When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for ag ricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS Users should: x Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. 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. ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Azoxystrobin and propiconazole are toxic to freshwater and estuarine/marine fish and azoxystrobin is toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Azoxystrobin can be persistent for several months or longer. 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. Drift and runo ff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. GROUND WATER ADVISORY: Azoxystrobin and a degradate of azoxystrobin are known to leach through soil to ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. SURFACE WATER ADVISORY: 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. This product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for 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 pote ntial loading of azoxystrobin and a degradate of azoxystrobin from runoff water and sediment. Runo ff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. Notify state and/or federal authorities and Nufarm im mediately if you observe any adverse environmental effects due to use of this product. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE USE DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN PLANT INJURY OR POOR DISEASE CONTROL AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

PHYTOTOXICIY This product is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple and crabapple varieties. AVOID SPRAY DRIFT. Extreme care must be used to prevent injury to apple and crabapple trees (and fruit). Do not spray this product where spray drift may reach apple and crabapple trees. Do not spray apple and crabapple trees with spray equipment previously used to apply this product or a product that contains azoxystrobin. Even trace amounts of product may cause unacceptable phytotoxicity to certain apple and crabapple varieties. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT For resistance management, please note that this product contains both a Gr oup 3 (propiconazole) and Group 11 (azoxystrobin) fungicide. Therefore, th is product has two modes of action: 1) Group 3 -
Page 5 Demethylation inhibitor (DMI) of sterol biosynthesis which disrupts membrane synthesis; 2) Group 11 - Inhibitor of the Qol (quinone outside) site within the electron transport system which disrupts fungal respiration.. Any fungal population may contain indivi duals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 3 or Group 11 fungicides. A gr adual or total loss of pest cont rol may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. The following steps may delay the development of fungicide resistance: Rotate the use of this product or other Group 3 and 11 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 effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer. 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 specialis t or certified crop advisor for an y additional pesticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. For further information or to report suspected resi stance, contact Nufarm Americas Inc. at (855) 280- 6609. You can also contact your pesticide distributo r or university extension specialist to report resistance. Follow crop specific directions that limit the total number of sprays on a crop and require rotations with fungicides from other resistance management groups . In situations requiring multiple sprays, develop season long spray programs for Group 11 QoI (qui none outside inhibiting) fungicides. For programs including the use of a Group 11 fungicide as a solo product, avoid making more than 1/3 (33%) of the total number of fungicide applications per season with the Group 11 product. For programs including tank mixtures or premixes of a Group 11 fungicide with mi xing partners of a differe nt mode of action, avoid making more than 1/2 (50%) of the total number of fungicide applications per season with the Group 11 product. Do not alternate or tank mix this product with any fungicide to which resistance has already developed.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT SPRAY DRIFT Aerial Applications x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or 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 Do not apply when wind speed exceeds 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or le ss of the 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 h eight 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 S572.1). x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. x Do not apply during temperature inversions. Airblast Applications x Sprays must be directed into the canopy. x Do not apply when wind speed exceeds 15 mph at the application site. x User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer rows. x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Page 6 SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS. IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE 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 redu ce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions. 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. 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 – Ground Boom For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. 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. TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS Drift potential is high du ring 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. The 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 Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift. USE INSTRUCTIONS Application: Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Make 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/pe netrating type adjuvant such as a non-ionic surfactant, crop oil concentrate, or blend may be added at the manufacturer's recommended 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: Some phytotoxicity may be observed when applying tank mixtures of this product with emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulations. These effects may be enhanced if applications are made under cool, cloudy conditions that remain for several days following application. In addition, adjuvants that contain some forms of silicone may also contribute to phytotoxicity. Under certain environmental conditions, tank mixes of this product with herbicides and/or fertilizers may cause crop injury in barley, triticale and wheat.
Page 7 Efficacy: Under conditions conducive to extended infect ion periods, use another registered fungicide for additional applications once the maximum allowable amount of this product has been us ed. If resistant isolates to Group 3 or Group 11 fungicides are present, product performance may be reduced. When heavy infection pressure exists, when trea ting varieties highly susceptible to disease, or when environmental conditions are conducive to disease development, best results are obtained when using the higher rates and/or the shorter spray intervals allowed in the Crop Specific Directions for Use on this label. Integrated Pest Management: Incorporate this product into an overall disease and pest management strategy whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Follow cultural practices known to reduce the potential for disease development. The CROP SPECIFIC DIRECT IONS FOR USE section of this label identifies specific IPM strategies for each crop. Consult your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service Specialist for additional IPM strategies established for your area. This product may be used in State Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development. MIXING AND APPLICATION Spray Equipment All types of spray equipment commonly used for ground and aerial applications may be used with this product. Ensure proper adjustment and calibration of spray equipment to obtain good canopy penetration and coverage which is essential for good disease control. Nozzles x Equip sprayer with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. x Use nozzles that are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. x Calibrate sprayer before use. x Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. x Use screens 16-mesh or coarser on the suction side of the pump. 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 Follow nozzle manufacturer use guidelines. Pump x Use a pump with capacity to: a) Maintain 35 to 40 psi at nozzles. b) 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. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult your State Ag ricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service Specialist for advice.
