-8- GENERAL INFORMATION Tilt 428GS is a broad spectrum fungicide for the control of certain diseases in wheat, barley, rye, triticale, oats and grasses grown for seed. Note: Do not use in, nurseries, on turf or landscape plantings, or as a tree injection. FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. Spray Equipment Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. To avoid spray drift, do not apply when conditions favor drift beyond the target area. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur. Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be certain that nozzles are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. Calibrate sprayer before use. Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles, and (2) 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 sparge tube for agitation. Do not air sparge. Although Tilt 428GS is an emulsifiable concentrate, it is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on suction side of pump should 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 recommendations. For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturers and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural experiment station recommendations. Application Instructions Aerial Application: For those crops where aerial applications are indicated, apply in a minimum of 5 gals. of water per acre, unless specified otherwise. Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Do not apply directly to humans or animals.

-9- Ground Application: Apply Tilt 428GS by ground equipment in a minimum of 15 gals. of water per acre. Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system. MIXING PROCEDURES Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product to remove contaminants which may cause crop injury or sprayer clogging. Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. Agitate thoroughly before and during application, such that a rippling or rolling action is created at the liquid surface. Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean water after each day's use and dispose of pesticide rinsate by application to an already-treated area. Important: For wheat, barley, rye, triticale, and oats, custom applicators must use a closed system for mixing and loading this product. Tilt 42BGS Alone: Add 1/2 _213 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, add the Tilt 428GS to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the spray solution after the Tilt 428GS has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed. Tilt 42BGS + Tank Mixtures: Tilt 428GS is usually compatible with all tank mix partners listed on this label. To determine the physical compatibility of Tilt 428GS with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable powders and water­ dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank. Add 112 _2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator running, add the tank mix partner into the tank. Allow the material to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water and the Tilt 428GS to the spray tank. Allow the Tilt 428GS to completely disperse. Spray the mixture with the agitator running. If using Tilt 428GS in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank mix partner label. No label dosage rate should be exceeded and the. most restrictive label precautions and limitations should be followed. This product should not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing. Tank mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are registered. " /11

-10- Rotational Crops Soybeans may be planted as a double crop following a cereal crop which has been treated with Tilt 428GS. Do not use hay, forage, or fodder from the soybean crop as any component of animal feed or bedding. To avoid possible illegal residues, do not plant any other crop intended for food, grazing, or any component of animal feed or bedding within 105 days of Tilt 428G8 application to the preceding crop, unless the second crop appears on this label. CEREALS (FOR USE IN OREGON ONLY) Wheat, Barley, Rye, Triticale and Oats Tilt 428G8 controls leaf diseases caused by rusts (Puccinia spp.), powdery mildew (Erysiphe spp.), leaf blight and glume blotch (Septoria spp.), tan spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis), Helminthosporium leaf blight, spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana), barley scald (Rhynchosporium secalis), and net blotch (Pyrenophora teres). Highest yields are normally obtained when Tilt 428GS is applied to the emerging flag leaf. Tilt can be applied until ligule of the flag leaf emerges, (Fe ekes flag stage 8). Do not apply after this stage to avoid possible illegal residues. Tilt may be applied earlier if disease symptoms appear (especially applicable to barley) Tilt may be applied by ground or aerial application or through irrigation equipment. Early season leaf disease suppression: Apply 2 - 4 fl. oz/acre of Tilt for suppression oftan spot, Septoria, and powdery mildew. Foot rot (Pseudocercospore/la spp.) in wheat: Apply 4 fl. oz./acre of Tilt plus half rates of other EPA-registered fungicides such as Topsin® M. Apply at tillering, but before elongation has occurred. Do not apply more than 4 fl. oz. of Tilt per season. Leaf disease control: Apply 4 fl. oz./acre of Tilt at first appearance of disease. Protecting the flag leaf is important for maximizing the potential yield. Notes: Notes: To avoid possible illegal residues: (1) Do not apply more than 4 fl. oz./acre of Tilt per season. (2) Do not apply to oats within 40 days of harvest. (3) Do not graze, or feed livestock treated wheat, barley, triticale or rye forage or cut the green crop for hay or silage. After harvest, the straw from these crops may be used for bedding or feed. (4) Tilt-treated oat forage may be grazed, and oat forage and hay may be fed to livestock. GRASSES GROWN FOR SEED (FOR USE IN OREGON ONLY)

-11- Tilt 428GS controls rusts (Puccinia spp.), powdery mildew (Erysiphe spp.), and Selenophoma stem eyespot (Selenophoma) in perennial ryegrass, fescues, bluegrass, orchardgrass, and/or wheatgrasses. Mix 4-8 fl. oz.lacre of Tilt 428GS (maximum 4 fl. oz. on bluegrass) in a minimum of 20 gals. of water per acre for ground application, or in a minimum of 10 gals. of water per acre for aerial application. Apply when powdery mildew and Selenophoma infections or rust pustules are noticeable and increasing in number, in late spring or early summer. Repeat at 14 to 21-day intervals. To maximize control under severe rust pressure, use the higher rate of 8 fl. oz.lacre (except on bluegrass), and make applications at 14-day intervals until the seed is mature. Do not apply more than 32 fl. oz.lacre. of Tilt 428GS per acre per growing cycle. Make the last application at least 20 days before seed matures. For bluegrass, it is important to begin application early in the growing season. Important: To avoid possible residues, do not: (1) feed hay cut within 20 days of the last application, or (2) graze treated areas within 140 days of the last application.
