2.6.2 SURFACE WATER ADVISORY
This product may contaminate water through spray drift due to 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 such as 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.

2.7 Physical or Chemical Hazards
Do not mix or allow to come in contact with oxidizing agent and water. 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 Orondis Gold contains oxathiapiprolin and mefenoxam and is for the control or
suppression of the diseases listed on this label.
x Orondis Gold is active against Oomycete dise ases listed on this label and has preventive,
residual, eradicative, and anti-sporulant activity.
x Orondis Gold is locally systemic, translam inar, and moves systemically in the xylem.
x See Section 7.0 for specific crop/disease directions.

MODE OF ACTION
Orondis Gold contains two active ingredients: oxathiapiprolin, which inhibits an oxysterol-
binding protein (OSBP) homologue, and mefenoxam, which inhibits RNA polymerase I.

CROP TOLERANCE
Not all crops within a crop group, and not all varieties, cultivars, or hybrids of crops, have
been individually tested for crop safety. It is not possible to evaluate for crop safety all
applications of Orondis Gold on all crops within a crop group, on all varieties, cultivars, or
hybrids of those crops, or under all environmental conditions and growing circumstances.
To test for crop safety, apply the product in accordance with the label instructions to a small
area of the target crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur, especially where
the application is a new use of the product by the applicator.

3.1 Resistance Management

For resistance management, please note that Orondis Gold contains both a Group 49
(oxathiapiprolin) and Group 4 (mefenoxam) fungicide. Any fungal population may contain
individuals naturally resistant to Orondis Gold and other Group 49 or 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 both general
and product-specific should be followed.


Strategies to delay resistance include:

x Rotate the use of Orondis Gold or other Group 49 and 4 fungicides within a growing
season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
x Use tank mixtures with fungic ide(s) from a different group that are equally effective on the
target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate 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

10

development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological, and other chemical
control practices.
x 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.
x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
x Contact your local extension specialist or cert ified crop advisor for any additional pesticide
resistance-management and/or Integrated Pest Management (IPM) recommendations for
specific crops and pathogens.
x For further information or to report su spected resistance, contact Syngenta Crop
Protection at 1-866-796-4368. You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university
extension specialist to report resistance.

Product-Specific Strategies to delay resistance:

x Orondis Gold applications are to be made preventively.
x Do not tank-mix Orondis Gold wi th any fungicide for which resistance to the target disease
has developed.
x Do not make more than 2 sequential applications before rotating to a fungicide with a
different mode of action.
x Where 3 or more fungicide applications ar e made, do not use Orondis Gold (or any other
FRAC 49-containing product) in more than 33% of the total fungicide applications, or a
maximum of 4 applications, whichever is fewer. Where less than 3 fungicide applications
are made, do not make more than 1 application of Orondis Gold (or any other FRAC 49-
containing product).
x Do not follow soil applications of Orondis Go ld (or any other FRAC 49-containing product)
with foliar applications of Orondis Opti (EPA Reg. No. 100-1591) or Orondis Ultra (EPA
Reg. No. 100-1612) (or any other FRAC 49-containing product).
x Do not combine different application methods (foliar and soil) when protecting a crop
during a growing season.
x Do not apply more than 4 sprays during one crop cycle.
x Do not apply more than 6 applications of Or ondis Gold (or any other FRAC 49-containing
product) per year on the same acreage.
x Do not use Orondis Gold (or any other FRAC-49 containing product) in nursery production
of transplanted crops.
x For guidance on a particular crop or disease cont rol situation, consult your state extension
specialist for official state recommendations.

11

3.2 Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
Syngenta recommends the use of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs to control
pests. Orondis Gold may be used as part of an IPM program which can include biological,
cultural, and genetic practices aimed at preventing economic pest damage. Application of
this product should be based on IPM principles and practices including field scouting or other
detection methods, correct target pest identification, population monitoring, and treating when
disease forecasting models reach locally determined action levels. Consult your state
cooperative extension service, professional consultants, or other qualified authorities to
determine the appropriate management, cultural practice, and treatment threshold levels for
the specific crop, geography, and diseases.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
4.1 Methods of Application
x For suppression or control of soil-borne diseas es as specified in this label, Orondis Gold
must be applied in a manner that ensures the product solution adequately saturates the
target crop root/crown zone.
x When applied to the root/crown zone before, during, or soon after sowing or
transplanting the crop, Orondis Gold will suppress or control certain seedling root rot and
crown diseases that limit crop stand establishment.
x For soil application, apply Orondis Gold using chemigation, transplant water
application (water wheel or continuous stream transplanters), surface band or directed
application, or in-furrow application using the rates in Table 1. See table and Section
4.5 for chemigation instructions.
x If the application method does not move t he product to the target root/crown disease
zone, the application must be followed with irrigation or cultivation to correctly place
the product for disease control.
x Use Orondis Gold as a foliar applicatio n only where specified in this label.

4.1.1 SOIL APPLICATIONS (IN-FURROW OR BANDED)
In-furrow application:
x Apply Orondis Gold as an in-furrow spray in 5-15 gallons of water per acre at planting.
x Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed into the furrow just before the seeds
are covered.

12


Table 1: Soil application rates for Orondis Gold/1,000 feet of row, based on plant row
spacing

Transplant Water Application
x Transplants should be adequately watered be fore transplanting. Ensure transplant
water volume is sufficient to thoroughly wet the root zone.
x See Table 1 for continuous-stream transplanters. Ensure 4-8 fl oz transplant water/
transplant depending on sandy (4 fl oz) vs silty soil (6-8 fl oz).
x For water-wheel transplanters, use the p lant population to determine the rate of
product per plant.

Example:

28.0 fl oz product x acre = 0.0064 fl oz product
acre 4,356 plants plant

Surface Band or Directed Application
x Apply in a 6- to 12-inch band. See Table 1 for rates.
x Follow application with cultivation or irrigation (0.25 – 0.5 inch) to move Orondis Gold to
the target disease zone.

4.2 Application Equipment
Orondis Gold can be applied using ground equipment, pressurized and hand-held sprayers,
and chemigation equipment, except as otherwise directed. Maintain agitation during mixing
and application to ensure uniform product suspension.
4.2.1 SHIELDED SPRAYERS
x Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind.
x It is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shie lds are minimizing drift
potential and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product.

1. Fill clean spray tank 1/2 - 2/3 full of water.
2. While agitating, add the required amount of Orondis Gold, continuing agitation until the
product is completely dispersed.
3. Continue agitation while adding the remaind er of the water. Spray immediately after
preparation, continuing agitation during spraying.

4.4.2 TANK-MIX PRECAUTIONS
x It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the
intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions, limitations, and directions for
use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. User must follow the most restrictive
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
x Tank mixes of Orondis Gold with other pest icides, fertilizers, or any other additives not
specifically labelled for use with Orondis Gold 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
x Conduct a jar test using a 1 pt to 1 qt contai ner with lid by adding water or other intended
carrier such as liquid fertilizer to the jar.
x 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 the tank-mixing section, Section 4.4.4. After each addition, shake or
stir gently to thoroughly mix.
x After all ingredients have been added, put the lid on the jar, then tighten and invert the jar
10 times to mix.
x After mixing, let the mixture stand 15 –30 minutes and then examine for signs of
incompatibility such as obvious separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, or heavy oily
film on the jar.
x If the mixture remains mixed or can be remix ed readily, it is physically compatible and can
be used.
x If the mixture is incompatible, repeat the test using a compatibility agent at the specified
label 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.
x After compatibility testing is complete, dispos e of any pesticide wastes in accordance with
the storage and disposal section, Section 8.0, of this label.

(trickle), or strip tubing irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other
type of irrigation system.
x [Do not inject Orondis Gold at full strengt h or deterioration of valves and seals may
occur. Use a dilution ratio of at least 15 parts water to 1 part Orondis Gold in the
mix tank. Orondis Gold can affect many seal materials. Leather seals are best. EPDM
or silicone rubber seals can be used but should be replaced once a year. Do not use
Viton™, nitrile (Buna-N), Neoprene, or PVC seals.]
x Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pe sticide residues in the crop can result from
non-uniform distribution of treated water.
x Apply Orondis Gold use rates in 0.25-0.5 in ch of water per acre. Excessive water may
reduce efficacy.
x If you have questions about calibration, contact state extension service specialists,
equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
x Do not connect an irrigation system (includ ing 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.

15

x A person knowledgeable of t he 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.

Center-Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Restrictions: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. (2)
Do not use end guns when chemigating Orondis Gold through center-pivot systems because
of non-uniform application.

Irrigation Instructions:
x Determine the size of the area to be treated.
x Determine the time required to apply 0.25-0.5 inch of water over the area to be treated
when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as
recommended by the equipment manufacturer. When applying Orondis Gold through
irrigation equipment, use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform
distribution. Run the system at 80-95% of the manufacturer’s rated capacity.
x Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure.
x Determine the amount of Orondis Gold required to treat the area covered by the irrigation
system.
x Add the required amount of Orondis Gold and sufficient water to meet the injection time
requirements to the solution tank.
x Make sure the system is full y charged with water before starting injection of the Orondis
Gold solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to
full pressure.
x Maintain constant solution tank agit ation during the injection period.
x Continue to operate the system until the Orondis Gold solution has cleared the sprinkler
head.

Solid-Set, Hand-Move, and Moving-Wheel Irrigation Equipment
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 Orondis Gold through irrigation equipment, use the
lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution.
x Determine the amount of Orondis Gold required to treat the area covered by the irrigation
system.
x Add the required amount of Orondis Gold 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 Orondis Gold solution has cleared the last sprinkler head.

16


Drip (Trickle) Irrigation Instructions
x Orondis Gold must be applied in a manner that ensures the product is in the root zone.
x Orondis Gold must be in the root zone to provide effective control of target pests.
x Orondis Gold is most effective when it is appli ed so that the roots are at or near the site of
application; manage irrigation so that significant quantities of Orondis Gold remain in the
root zone.
x A pesticide tank is recommended for the application of Orondis Gold in drip chemigation
systems.
x Ensure the drip chemigation system is operating properly to uniformly distribute the
chemigation application to the crop. Contact the equipment manufacturer, the local
university extension agent, or other experts if you have questions about achieving uniform
distribution of the application. This product must be applied uniformly in the root zone or
poor performance may result. Drip tape or emitters must be located within or directly
adjacent to the root zone.
x In most situations, this product should be appl ied during the middle 1/3 of the irrigation
cycle.
x The minimum injection period is the time that it takes water to move from the injection
point to the farthest emitter in the irrigation zone (propagation time). If this time is not
known, it can be calculated by measuring the time required for a soluble dye to move from
the injection point to the farthest emitter. A longer injection period improves uniformity
throughout the zone but requires at least an equal period for water to flush the system and
move the product through the soil.

4.5.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. The system must contain functional interlock ing controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
5. The irrigation line or water pump must includ e 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.

17


4.5.3 SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS
1. 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.
2. Chemigation systems connected 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 backflow preventer, discharge the water from the public water system 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.
3. 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.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must cont ain 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.
5. The system must contain functional interlock ing 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.
6. Systems must use a metering device, 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.

4.6 Sprayer Cleanout
x Prior to application, start with clean , well-maintained application equipment.
x Immediately following application, thoro ughly clean all spray equipment to reduce the
risk of forming hardened deposits which might become difficult to remove.
x Drain application equipment. Thoroughly rins e and flush all application equipment with
clean water.
x Take all necessary safety precautions when clea ning equipment. Do not clean near wells,
water sources, or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with
local regulations.

6.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
See Section 7.0 for crop-specific restrictions and precautions.

6.1 Use Restrictions
x DO NOT use Orondis Gold in greenhouse production.
x Maximum usage when applying both metalaxyl- and mefenoxam-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.

19

6.2 Spray Drift Management

x The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the
potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors
when making application decisions.
x To avoid spray drift, do not apply when cond itions favor drift beyond the target area.
x Avoid spray overlap, as injury may occur.

6.2.1 GROUND BOOM APPLICATIONS
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet
above the ground or crop canopy.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.

6.3 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.

6.3.1 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.
x 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.

6.3.2 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.

6.3.3 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.

20

6.3.4 BOOM HEIGHT – GROUND BOOM
x Use the lowest boom height that is compatib le with the spray nozzles that will provide
uniform coverage.
x For ground equipment, the boom should re main level with the crop and have minimal
bounce.

6.3.5 RELEASE HEIGHT – AIRCRAFT
x Higher release heights increase th e potential for spray drift.
x When applying aerially to crops, 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.

6.3.6 SHIELDED SPRAYERS
x Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded
sprayers.
x Verify that the shields are no t interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the
target area.

6.3.7 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
x When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects
of evaporation.

6.3.8 TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
x Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion.
x Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and
are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind.
x 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.
x 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.
x Avoid applications during temperature inversions.

6.3.9 WIND
x Drift potential generally increases with wind speed.
x AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
x Applicators need to be familiar with local wi nd patterns and terrain that could affect spray
drift.

21

6.3.10 BOOM-LESS GROUND APPLICATIONS
x Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to reduce the potential for spray
drift.
x Handheld Technology Applications: Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

Pesticide Storage
Keep container closed when not in use. Always store pesticides in the original container only,
away from other pesticides, food, pet food, feed, seed, fertilizers, and veterinary supplies. If a
leaky container must be contained within another, mark the outer container to identify the
contents. Storage areas must be locked and secure from vandalism, with precautionary signs
posted. The storage area must be dry, well-lit, and well-ventilated. Keep pesticide storage
areas clean. Clean up any spills promptly. Protect pesticide containers from extreme heat
and cold. Store herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides in separate areas within the storage
unit. Place liquid formulations on lower shelves and dry formulations above. Maintaining a
spill kit and fire extinguisher on hand and having emergency phone numbers posted will allow
you to be prepared for emergencies. If spill cleanup PPE is stored nearby, but outside the
pesticide storage area, it must be accessible when needed.

Pesticide Disposal
Wastes resulting from the use of this product must be disposed of on site or at an approved
waste disposal facility.

Container Handling [(less than or equal to 5 gallons)]
