systemic downy mildews and diseases caused by soil-borne Pythium and 
Phytophthora spp. When a rate range is specified, use higher rates of Apron FS 
when'the disease pressure is expected to be high. 
For contrt'l of other soil borne diseases, such as Rhizoctonia spp., Apron FS 
should De applied in combination with other registered seed dressing fungicides, 
Note: Apron is a systemic fungicide having a specific mode of action. Apron 
could be subject to development of insensitive strains of fungi. Development of 
insensitivity cannot be predicted. Therefore, Ciba-Geigy cannot assume liability 
fm crop damage resulting from insensitive strains of fungi. Consult with your 
State Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service Specialist for 
guidance and ways to control any possible Apron insensitive strains of fungi 
which may occur.
