FIRST AID
IF ON SKIN OR
CLOTHING
x Take off contaminated clothing.
x Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15-20 minutes.
x Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
HOTLINE NUMBER
Have the product container or label with you when calling a poison control center or doctor, or
going for treatment. You may also contact (877) 325
-1840 for emergency medical treatment
information.
PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
CAUTION / PRECAUCTIÓN
Harmful if absorbed through skin. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
All handlers must wear:
x Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
x Waterproof gloves.
x Shoes plus socks
In addition, mixers/loaders/applicators using mechanically pressurized handwands, except when
applying to Christmas tree farms, nursery ornamentals, or landscape areas, must wear:
x A minimum of a NIOSH-approved particulate filtering facepiece respirator with any N, R or P filter;
OR a NIOSH-approved elastomeric particulate resp irator 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 exist for
washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
Engineering Controls
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements
listed in the Worker Protection Stan dard (WPS) for agricultural pestic ides (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6), the
handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE
specified above for "applicators and other handlers" and have such PPE immediately available for use in
an emergency, such as a spill or equipment breakdown.
Respirator fit testing, medical qualification, and training for Non-WPS uses
Using a program that conforms to OSHA's requiremen ts (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 en sure physical ability to safely wear the style of
respirator to be worn. A qualified medical practiti oner is a physician or other licensed health care
professional who will evaluate the ability of a worker to wear a respirator. The initial evaluation consists
of a questionnaire that asks about medical conditio ns (such as a heart condition) that would 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 respirator 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/fede ral/tribal enforcement person nel, employers must provide
documentation demonstrating how they have complied with these requirements.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
This product is a suspension concentrate (SC) or flowable formulation. It is a broad spectrum, preventive
fungicide with systemic and curative properties recommended for the control of many important plant
diseases. This product may also improve the yield and/ or quality of the crop. These additional benefits
are due to positive effects on plant physiology. The effects may vary according to factors such as the
crop, crop hybrid, or environment. This product may be applied as a foliar spray in alternating spray
programs or in tank mixes with other registered crop protection products. Make all applications according
to the use directions on this label.
PHYTOTOXICITY
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).
Refer to SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT information below.
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.
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 and these conditions remain for several days following application. In addition,
adjuvants that contain some forms of silicone may also contribute to phytotoxicity.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)
To reduce the potential for development of resistance , integrate this product into an overall disease and
pest management strategy whenever the use of a fung icide is required. Follow cultural practices known
to reduce disease development such as selection of disease-tolerant varieties, removal of plant debris in
which inoculum overwinters, and proper timing and pl acement of irrigation. Consult with your State
Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service specialist for additional IPM strategies established
for your area. This product may be used in State Ag ricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting)
programs which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease
development.
Crop Tolerance: Plant tolerance has been found to be acce ptable for all crops on the label. However,
not all possible tank mixture combinations have been tested under all conditions. It is recommended to
test tank mixture combinations on a small portion of the crop to assess plant response before large scale
applications. See the USE PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS section for apple phytotoxicity
information.

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 less 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 height 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.
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 reduce 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.
Page 6
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
Drift potential is high during a temperature invers ion. 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.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, this product contains azoxystrobin, a Group 11 fungicide. The mode of action
for this active ingredient is the inhibition of the Qo l (quinone outside) site within the electron transport
system as well as disruption of membrane synthesis by blocking demethylation. Any fungal population may
contain individuals naturally resistant to azoxystrobin and other Group 11 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 should be followed.
The following steps may delay the development of fungicide resistance:
 Rotate the use of this product or other Group 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 any additional pesticide resistance
management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
 For further information or to repo rt suspected resistance, contact Nufarm Americas Inc. at (855) 280-
6609. You can also contact your pesticide distributo r or university extension specialist to report
resistance.
Follow the crop specific resistance management recommendations provided in the directions for use.
If no resistance management instructions regarding th e number of applications per crop are provided in
the crop specific directions for use, follow the instructions in the table below.
If planned total number of fungicide
applications per crop is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Recommended Solo QoI
fungicide sprays

Recommended QoI fungicide
sprays in mixture (tank-mix or
formulated)
1 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6
Under conditions requiring multiple fungicide applications, develop season long spray programs for Group
11 (QoI) fungicides. In crops where two sequential Gr oup 11 fungicide applications are made, alternating
with two or more applications of a fungicide that is not in Group 11 will help reduce the potential for
resistance development. If more than 12 applications are made, observe the following guidelines:
x When a Qol fungicide is used as a solo product, make no more than 1/3 (33%) of the total number of
fungicide applications per season with the QoI containing product.
Page 7
x For programs including tank mixes or premixes of Qol fungicide with mixing partners of a different mode
of action, the number of Qol containing applications must represent no more than 1/2 (50%) of the total
number of fungicide applications per season.
x In programs including applications of Qol fungicides as both solo products and mixtures, the number
of Qol containing applications must represent no mo re than 1/2 (50%) of the total number of fungicide
applications per season.
If a Group 11 fungicide is applied to the seed or so il, do not make another ap plication with a Group 11
fungicide for at least 3 weeks.
PRODUCT 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: The use of an adjuvant may improve consistency and performance of this product. Refer to
crop specific directions for use for information regarding the use of adjuvants.
Efficacy: Under certain conditions conducive to extend ed infection periods, use another registered
fungicide for additional applications once the maximum amount of this product has been used. If resistant
isolates to Group 11 fungicides are present, produc t performance may be reduced for certain diseases.
When heavy infection pressure exists, when treating 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 use directions on this label..
SOIL BORNE/SEEDLING DISEASE CONTROL
For crops that have specific use directions for soil borne disease control:
This product can provide control of many soil borne diseases if applied early in the growing season.
Specific applications for soil borne diseases incl ude in-furrow applications and banded applications
applied over the row, either shortly after plant emergenc e or during herbicide applications or cultivation.
These applications will provide control of pre- or postemergence damping off and diseases that infect
plants at the soil-plant interface.
The use of either type of applicatio n depends on the regional cultural practices. In some locations, one
type of application may provide better disease contro l than the other, depending on the timing of the
disease epidemic. Seedling diseases are generally co ntrolled by in-furrow applications while banded
applications are more effective against soil borne diseases that develop later in the season. Consult your
local expert to get some guidance regarding application type.
Under cool, wet conditions, crop injury from soil directed applications can occur.
Drip
Refer to the Instructions for Use through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) section.
MIXING AND APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems
1. Public water system means a system for the pr ovision 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, back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional eq uivalent in the water supply line upstream from
the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, discharge the water from the public water
system into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide intr oduction. 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 contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to
prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must 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.
5. The system must contain functional interlocking 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 pump, such as a positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm
pump) effectively designed and constructed of mate rials 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.
TURF
UPGRADE may be used for control of certain pathogens causing foliar, stem, and root diseases, including
leaf and stem blights, leaf spots, patch diseases, m ildews, anthracnose, fairy rings, molds, and rusts of
turfgrass plants. UPGRADE may be used to control ce rtain diseases on turf in golf courses, lawns and
landscape areas around residential, institutional, pu blic, commercial and industrial buildings, parks,
recreational areas and athletic fields.
Integrated Pest (Disease) Management (IPM): Sound turf management resulting healthy, vigorous turf
is the foundation of a good IPM program. Cultural practices such as proper choice of turf variety, nutrient-
management, proper cutting height, thatch manageme nt, and proper watering, drainage, and moisture
stress management should be integrated with the use of fungicides to increase turf vigor and reduce the
susceptibility to disease, immunoassay detection kits and extension service diagnostic services can assist
in the early and accurate identification of causal organisms and corresponding selection of the proper
fungicide when required.
Resistance Management: Some turf disease pathogens are known to have developed resistance to
products used repeatedly for their control. UPGRADE should be applied at full use rates in a tank mix or
alternation program with other registered fungicides that have a different mode of action and to which
Page 11
pathogen resistance has not developed. Since UPGRADE is a strobilurin fungicide, avoid alternation with
other strobilurins, such as kresoxim-methyl and trifloxystrobin. Do not apply more than two [2] sequential
UPGRADE applications for Gray Leaf Spot and Pythium spp. control. For all other diseases when Gray
Leaf Spot and Pythium spp. are not present, do not apply more than three sequential applications of
UPGRADE.
APPLICATIONS FOR TURF DISEASES
Restrictions
Make applications by ground only.
Do not apply more than 2.4 gallons product/Acre/year or 7.1 fl oz product/1000 sq ft/year (equivalent to 5
lb ai/Acre/year).
For application to landscape turf using handheld eq uipment, do not exceed 0.16 fl oz product/gallon
(equivalent to 0.0025 lb ai/gallon).
For application on golf courses (tees, greens, fairways) and landscape turf using mechanically pressurized
handwands, do not exceed 60 oz product/A or 1.4 fl oz product/1,000 sq ft (equivalent to 0.95 lb ai/A).
Application Directions: UPGRADE should be applied prior to disease development. Mix UPGRADE with

ORNAMENTALS
UPGRADE is recommended for control of certain path ogens causing foliar, aerial, and root diseases,
including leaf, tip, and flower blights, leaf spots, downy mildew, powdery mildew, anthracnose, and rusts of
ornamental plants. UPGRADE may be used to contro l listed diseases of herbaceous, deciduous and
evergreen ornamentals and listed vegetable seedlings and transplants grown in greenhouses, lath houses,
hoop houses, high tunnel and shadehouses, and herbaceous, deciduous and evergreen ornamentals
grown in field, container, nurseries, retail nurseries, and other residential and commercial landscape areas.
Restrictions
Do not use this product for the production of edible crops or food.
Do not exceed 2.4 gallons product acre/year or 8 applications/crop/year.
Do not exceed 600 gallons spray volume per acre for foliar applications.
Do not exceed 2 pints volume per square foot for drench and crown applications,
For ornamentals grown in field or nurseries, do not exceed 47 fl oz product/A or 1.1 fl oz/1,000 sq ft
(equivalent to 0.75 lb ai/A) for foliar sprays applied by groundboom or chemigation.
For broadcast application to nursery ornamentals and application to landscape plantings (plants, flowers,
trees) using handheld equipment, do not exceed 0.16 fl oz product (equivalent to 0.0025 lb ai) per gallon.
For application to greenhouse ornamentals using mechanically pressurized handwands, do not exceed
0.16 fl oz product (equivalent to 0.0025 lb ai) per gallon.
Integrated Pest (Disease) Management:
UPGRADE should be integrated into an overall diseas e management strategy that includes selection of
varieties with disease tolerance, optimum plant popula tions, proper fertilization, winter and/or spring
pruning, plant residue management and proper timing and placement of irrigation.
Resistance Management: Some ornamental disease pathogens are known to have developed resistance
to fungicides used repeatedly for their control. UPGR ADE should be applied in an alternation or tank mix
program with other registered fungicides that have a different mode of action and to which pathogen
resistance has not developed. Do not make more than two (2) sequential applications of UPGRADE before
alternating with a fungicide of a different mode of action. Do not alternate UPGRADE with other FRAC 11
or strobilurin fungicides.
Application Directions: Apply UPGRADE as a broadcast or banded spray targeted at the foliage or crown
of the plant. Apply to runoff in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of the target plant. Good
Page 14
coverage and wetting of foliage is necessary for best co ntrol. Refer to the label for specific use directions
for control of certain diseases. Repeat applications at specified intervals (plus alternations for resistance
management) for as long as required. Applications may be made by ground only.
UPGRADE applications should begin prior to disease development and continue throughout the season at
specified intervals following resistance management guidelines. UPGRADE works best when used as part
of a preventative disease management program.
Use only surfactants approved for ornamental plants in combination with UPGRADE. Do not use silicone
based products with Heritage Fungicide due to possibl e phytotoxicity. Always test tank mixes on a small
group of representative plants prior to broad scale use.
Apply UPGRADE at use rates of 1.9-7.7 fluid ounces/100 gallons every 7-28 days (or as otherwise specified
for a specific plant or disease). The addition of a non-silicone-based wetter-sticker at the recommended
use rate may enhance coverage on hard-to-wet plant foliage.
Under most conditions and for most diseases, apply 3.9-7.7 fluid ounces/ 100 gallons on a 7-14 day interval.
Under light to moderate disease pressure, use the lower rates (1.9-3.9 fl oz/100 gallons) on a 7-14 day
interval or the higher rates (5.8-7.7 fl oz/100 gallons) on a longer 14-28 day interval.
Under environmental conditions which promote severe disease development, use the higher rates (5.8-7.7
fl oz/100 gallons) on a 7-14 day interval. Use of UPGRADE as a "rescue" (late curative or eradicant)
treatment may not always result in satisfactory disease control.
In addition, do not tank mix UPGRADE with other fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers,
adjuvants, etc, unless local experience indicates that the tank mix is safe to ornamental plants.
Drench Application: UPGRADE may be applied to control soil borne, seedling, and crown diseases of
production ornamentals (greenhouse, hoop house, lath house, shadehouse, and field or container grown)
as a preventative, drench treatment prior to infection. Good coverage of the pre-infection area (root zone,
root ball, crown, etc.) is necessary for satisfactory control. UPGRADE may be drench applied to container
grown ornamentals using 0.39-1.7 fluid ounces/100 gall ons of water. Apply 1-2 pints of the solution per
square foot surface area on a 7-28 day interval. Apply drench prior to infection as healthy roots are
necessary to optimize product uptake, systemic tr anslocation and disease protection. For resistance
management do not make more than three sequential drench applications of UPGRADE before alternating
with a fungicide of a different mode of action. Caut ion should be taken before making application of
UPGRADE as a drench to small bedding plants in the seedling/plug stage due to possible phytotoxicity. A
limited quantity of plants should be tested prior to full-scale application.
Drip Irrigation: UPGRADE may be applied through drip irriga tion systems to potted ornamentals or to
bedded, field grown ornamentals for soil-borne disease control. Apply 3.9-30.8 fluid ounces UPGRADE per
acre as a preventative disease application. The soil or potting media should have adequate moisture
capacity prior to drip application. Terminate drip irrigation at fungicide depletion from the main feed supply
tank or after 6 hours from start, whichever is shorter. For maximum efficacy, subsequent irrigation (water
only) should be delayed for at least for 24 hours following drip application.
Ornamental Use Precautions
Do not apply UPGRADE to apple or cherry trees (Flowering, Yoshina variety) due to possible phytotoxicity.
Furthermore, do not use spray equipment that has applied UPGRADE for use in these sensitive crops due
to possible phytotoxicity from residue remaining in the sprayer. UPGRADE may be applied to certain
varieties of crabapple for control of apple scab. UP GRADE has been shown to be safer when applied to
the species and varieties listed in Table 4. However, due to the large number of genera, species, and
varieties of crabapple, it is impossible to test every one for tolerance to UPGRADE. The professional user
should conduct small scale testing to insure plant safety prior to broadscale commercial use on plant genera
and species not listed on this label.
TABLE 1: Diseases Controlled: When used in accordance with the label directions, UPGRADE will
provide control of the following diseases of ornamental plants:

PLANT SAFETY: UPGRADE has been shown to be safe when applied to the ornamental plants listed in
Tables 2 and 3. However, due to the large number of genera, species and varieties of ornamental and
nursery plants, it is impossible to test every one for tolerance to UPGRADE. Neither the manufacturer nor
the seller has determined whether or not UPGRADE can be used safely on genera, species, or varieties
of ornamental and nursery plants not specified on this label. The professional user should conduct small
scale testing to insure plant safety prior to broad scale commercial use on plant genera and species not
listed in this label. In addition, do not tank mix UPGRADE with other fungicides, insecticides, herbicides,
fertilizer, adjuvants, etc, unless local experience indicates that the tank mix is safe to ornamental plants.
Do not apply UPGRADE to certain apple, crabapple, or cherry trees due to possible phytotoxicity.
Furthermore, do not use spray equipment that has applied UPGRADE for use in these sensitive crops
due to possible phytotoxicity from residue remaining in the sprayer.
Tolerant Ornamental Plants: UPGRADE has been found to be safe when applied to the plants listed in
Tables 2 and 3 when applied according to recommended application methods, rates, and timings.
