2.2.1 USER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS Follow 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.
2.2.2 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 agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)), the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
2.2.3 USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS User Safety Recommendations Users should: Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesti cide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling th is product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
2.3 Environmental Hazards DO NOT apply directly to water, 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 GROUNDWATER ADVISORY Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
3
2.3.2 SURFACE WATER ADVISORY This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high potential for runoff for several months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features (including ponds, streams, and springs) will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours.
2.4 Physical or Chemical Hazards DO NOT use or store near heat or open flame. 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 DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

4
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: Coveralls Chemical-resistant gloves made of barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ≥ 14 mils, or Viton ≥ 14 mils Shoes plus socks
3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION Oplice is a systemic fungicide for use on selected crops to control certain diseases caused by Oomycetes.
To ensure maximum activity on soilborne pathogens, Oplice must be moved into the seed or root zone of the plant. Placement in the seed or root zone includes in-furrow sprays, soil injections, and crown dips. Incorporation includes preplant incorporated applications, soil drenches, or shank applications.
For soil surface sprays, rainfall will move the fungicide into the seed or root zone, but if rain is not expected within 24 hours after application, mechanically incorporate (before planting) or sprinkler irrigate (after planting) with ½ to 1 inch of water.
Under conditions conducive to severe disease pressure, additional fungicide applications may be applied using an alternate fungicide registered for the crop/disease appearing on this label.
Where rate ranges are specified on this label, use the higher specified rate when heavy disease pressure is expected and the lower specified rate when disease pressure is expected to be light, unless otherwise noted.
EFFICACY Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, use another registered fungicide for additional applications if maximum amount of Oplice has been used. If resistant isolates to Group 4 fungicides are present, efficacy can be reduced. Under high disease pressure, use the highest specified rate and shortest specified interval when needed.
CROP TOLERANCE Plant tolerance has been found acceptable for all crops on the label; however, not all possible tank-mix combinations have been tested under all conditions. When possible, test the combinations on a small portion of the crop to ensure a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of application.
5
3.1 Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Integrate Oplice into an overall disease and pest management strategy (IPM) whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Follow cultural practices known to reduce disease development. Consult your local agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area.
3.2 Resistance Management For resistance management, Oplice contains a Group 4 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Oplice and other Group 4 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 must be followed. To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: Rotate the use of Oplice or other Group 4 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a di fferent 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. Adopt an integrated diseas e 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 di sease models to effectively time fungicide applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance. Monitor treated fungal populati ons for resistance development. Contact your local extension specialist or ce rtified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM guidance for specific crops and pathogens. For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Syngenta at 1-866- Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS 4.1 Methods of Application Applications with Oplice are permitted by ground, by air, and via chemigation as specified in Section 7.0 unless otherwise restricted in Section 6.1. Ground application includes broadcast sprays, soil incorporation, banded and in-furrow applications, as well as soil injections and crown dips. Incorporation includes preplant incorporated, soil drenches, and shank applications.
For band applications, refer to Section 4.1.1 to calculate the amount of Oplice and water volume needed. For in-furrow applications, refer to Section 4.1.2 for the amount of product to use with common row spacings. Refer to Section 4.5 for details of application by chemigation.
4.1.1 BAND APPLICATION Application rates in Section 7.0 are expressed as an amount per acre which refers to the total crop area to be treated. If using a banded application, use proportionally less product using the formula below:
band width in inches X broadcast rate = amount needed row spacing in inches per acre per acre of field
4.1.2 IN-FURROW APPLICATION The following table provides common row spacing and the amount of Oplice to apply per acre for applications in Cotton, Peanut, Potato, and Soybean ONLY.

4.2 Application Equipment Arrange spray equipment configuration to pr ovide accurate application and minimize the potential for spray drift. To ensure accuracy, calibrate sprayer before each use. For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult spray equipment manufacturers and/or state guidance. All ground/aerial/chemigation application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
4.2.1 NOZZLES Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Use same size nozzles and uniform spacing across the boom. Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on suction side of pump must be 16-mesh or coarser. DO NOT place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer’s specifications.
4.2.2 PUMP Use a pump with capacity to: o Maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles. o Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension - this requires recirculation of 10% of tank volume per minute. Use a jet agitator or liquid sparger tube for agitation. DO NOT air sparge.
For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturers and state guidance. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural guidance.
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage
Apply by ground or air in sufficient water or li quid fertilizer to provide uniform coverage of the soil surface. For maximum effectiveness, Oplic e must be moved into the seed or root zone of the plant. For in-furrow application, apply as an in-furrow spray in 3-7 gallons per acre of water at planting. Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed into the furrow just before the seed is covered. For ground broadcast application, apply in a mi nimum of 20 gallons of water per acre, unless specified otherwise. If rain is not expected within 24 hours after application,
8
mechanically incorporate (before planting) or sprinkler irrigate (after planting) with ½ to 1 inch of water. For aerial application, apply in a minimum of 3 gallons of water per acre, unless specified otherwise. Avoid application when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur.
4.4 Mixing Directions
- Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product.
- Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation.
- Keep product container tight ly closed when not in use.
- Agitate the spray solution before and during application.
- DO NOT let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.
- Rinse the spray equipment thoroughly a fter each day’s use and dispose of pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area.
4.4.1 OPLICE ALONE
- Add ¼ - ½ of the requi red amount of water to the spray or mixing tank.
- With the agitator running, add Oplice to the tank.
- Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
- Begin application of the spray solution after Oplice has completely dispersed into the mix water.
- Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.
4.4.2 TANK-MIX PRECAUTIONS It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ens ure that all products are registered for their 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 for each product in the tank mixture. Tank mixes of Oplice with other pesticides , fertilizers, or any other additives not specifically labeled for use with Oplice may result in tank-mix incompatibility or unsatisfactory performance. In such cases, always check tank-mix compatibility by conducting a jar test according to guidance in Section 4.4.3 before actual tank mixing.
4.4.3 TANK-MIX COMPATIBILITY TEST Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt cont ainer with lid by adding water or other intended carrier (e.g., a liquid fertilizer) to the jar. Next, add the appropriate amount of pesticide(s) or tank-mix partner(s) in their relative proportions based on specified label rates. Add tank-mix components separately in the order described in Section 4.4.4. After each addition, shake or stir gently to thoroughly mix. After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, tighten and invert the jar 10 times to mix.
9
After mixing, let the mixture stand 15 – 30 minutes and then examine for signs of incompatibility including obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, or heavy oily film on the jar. If the mixture remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible and can be used. If the mixture is incompatible , repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the directed rate. Or, if applicable, slurry dry formulations in water before adding to the jar. If incompatibility is still observed after following these procedures, DO NOT use the mixture. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with Section 8.0. 4.4.4 OPLICE IN TANK MIXTURES
- Add ¼ - ½ of the requi red amount of water to the spray or mixing tank.
- With the agitator running, add the tank-mix pa rtner(s) into the tank in the following order: a. wettable powders b. water dispersible granular products c. liquid flowables d. emulsifiable concentrates
- Allow the material to completely di ssolve and disperse into the mix water.
- Continue agitation while adding the remainde r of the water and Oplice to the spray tank.
- Allow Oplice to completely disperse.
- Spray the mixture with the agitator running.
- Follow the precautions and limit ations of the most restricted product in the tank mixture.
4.5 Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) 4.5.1 CHEMIGATION RESTRICTIONS Use only on crops for which chemigat ion is specified on this label. Apply Oplice only through center pivot, solid set, hand move, moving wheel, micro- sprinkler, micro-emitter, or drip irrigation systems. DO NOT apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pe sticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, contact your State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. 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. 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 the need arises. Oplice must be applied on the schedule specified in the specific crop use directions, not according to the irrigation schedule.
Note: Oplice can affect many seal materials and must not be used at full strength. Leather seals are best; EPDM or silicone rubber seals can be used, but must be checked and replaced once a year if needed. DO NOT use Viton, Buna-N, Neoprene, or PVC seals.
10
4.5.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
- The system must contain a functional check va lve, 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 contai n 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 interlo cking 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 water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
- Systems must use a metering pump, includ ing 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.
4.5.3 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
- Public water system means a system for t he 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 connect ed to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone (RPZ) backflow preventer 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 must 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.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must cont ain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
- The pesticide injection pipeline must c ontain 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 interlo cking 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 device, includ ing 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.

6.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS See Section 7.0 for crop-specific Restrictions and Precautions. 6.1 Use Restrictions DO NOT use in greenhouses or other structures including lath houses, float houses, and hydroponic facilities, unless specified on this label. DO NOT use for disease control in bedding plants, transplant trays, or nurseries except where specifically allowed in certain crop sections. DO NOT use as a foliar application unless specified on this label. DO NOT dip plants or roots, spray bare roots, or use a transplant water treatment with solutions containing Oplice except where specifically allowed in certain crop sections. Maximum usage when applying both mefenox am- and metalaxyl-containing products to the same crop within the same season: DO NOT apply more than the maximum yearly total application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product containing the lowest yearly total on that crop. Maximum application rates included for all uses in Section 7.0.
6.2 Use Precautions Avoid spray overlap as crop injury may occur.
6.3 Spray Drift Management
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICAT ION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER. To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift beyond the target area. The interaction of many equipment and weathe r-related factors determine the potential for spray drift.
6.4 Spray Drift Advisory THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
6.4.1 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 reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
14
6.4.2 CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – GROUND BOOM 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. Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure specified for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size. Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
6.4.3 CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE – AIRCRAFT Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturer’s specifications for setting up nozzles. To reduce fine droplets, nozzles must be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
6.4.4 BOOM HEIGHT – GROUND BOOM Use the lowest boom height that is compat ible with the spray nozzles that will provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom must remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
6.4.5 RELEASE HEIGHT - AIRCRAFT Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying aerially to crops, DO NOT spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the crop canopy, unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
6.4.6 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.
6.4.7 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY When making applications in hot and dry conditi ons, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
6.4.8 TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS 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. The presence of an inversion can be indica ted 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.
15
Avoid applications duri ng temperature inversions.
6.4.9 WIND Drift potential 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 the higher specified rate for high disease pressure, extended control, and on burley and other tobacco types other than flue-cured.
0.5 pt/A (0.25)
For no-till tobacco: 0.50 – 1.0 pt/A (0.25-0.5)
Layby or Last cultivation
Soil Spray (band): Position the nozzles so the spray is deposited under the plants and is covered by the soil in cultivation.
To calculate the rate as a band application, see Section 4.1.1. Black shank (Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae) Broadcast 1.0 – 3.0 pt/A (0.5-1.5)
For no-till tobacco: 0.50 – 1.0 pt/A (0.25-0.5)
Prior to transplant
Make at least one subsequent application of Oplice at first cultivation and/or layby if necessary.
Soil Spray (broadcast): Apply to the soil within a week of planting and incorporate in the top 2-4 inches of soil. Use the higher specified rate if disease epidemic is expected to be severe.
In FL and GA, use 3.0 pt/A (1.5 lb ai) where black shank is severe.
65
Transplant water: 4 – 8 fl oz (0.25-0.5 pt)/200 gal water
(0.125-0.25)
At transplant (followed by additional application at first cultivation or layby).
Move into soil as described in Section 4.3.
Transplant water: Apply in transplant furrow while planting tobacco seedlings. Apply 4-8 fl oz (0.125-0.25 lb ai) in at least 200 gallons of transplant water per acre. Use the highest specified rate if the disease epidemic is expected to be severe.
Pre-mixing Oplice in a tank separate from the transplant water source tank will help to prevent incompatibility with fertilizers or other pesticides in the transplant water solution.
1.0 – 2.0 pt/A (0.5-1.0)
For no-till tobacco: 0.50 – 1.0 pt/A (0.25-0.5) First cultivation and/or layby Soil Spray (broadcast or band): Position the nozzles so the spray is deposited under the plants and covered with soil by the cultivator. To calculate the rate as a band application, see Section 4.1.1. Apply preventatively for effective black shank control. If black shank is expected early in the season, apply as near as possible to transplanting followed by sequential application. Consult local extension bulletins for additional use directions.
For best results against black shank, use tobacco varieties that have high resistance to black shank and practice crop rotation.
In fields with a history of severe black shank, use the highest specified rate and plant variety resistant to the race of Phytophthora present (Burley L8 hybrids are resistant to only Phytophthora Race 0).
Resistance Management: Refer to Section 3.2.
66
Precautions: There is a risk of plant injury with transplant water application, especially when applied in less than 200 gallons of carrier volume per acre. Crop injury is more likely when applied in less than 100 gallons/acre. Injury is temporary and typically disappears within three weeks. Failure to adequately control nematodes in fields treated with Oplice may result in poor control of black shank. USE RESTRICTIONS
