BASIC USE INFORMATION
Serenade MAX is a broad spectrum, preventative product for the control or suppression of many important plant
diseases. [Apply Serenade MAX as a foliar spray alone, in alternating spray programs or in tank mixes with other
registered crop protection products.] [Apply Serenade MAX as a soil drench alone or in tank mixes with other
registered crop protection products.] When conditions are conducive to heavy disease pressure, use Serenade MAX
in a rotational program with other registered fungicides. Apply Serenade MAX with spray equipment commonly used
for making ground [or aerial] applications and irrigation systems commonly used for chemigation. Heavy rainfall or
irrigation shortly after application may require retreatment.
(OPTIONAL STATEMENTS: Serenade MAX is most effectively used in a preventive disease management
program. For improved performance, use Serenade MAX in a tank-mix or rotational program with other registered
fungicides. When using Serenade MAX alone for the first time, use a rate of 2 lb Serenade MAX per acre. Increase
the application rate and/or decrease spray intervals of Serenade MAX according to the application instructions
depending upon disease pressure. [To enhance performance, consider adding a surfactant, known to be safe to the
target crop, to the spray tank to improve penetration and coverage of above-ground portions of the plant.J]
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)
Integrate Serenade MAX into an overall disease and pest management strategy whenever fungicide use is
necessary. Follow practices known to reduce disease development. Consult local agricultural authorities for specific
IPM strategies developed for your crop(s) and location.
Be sure use of this product conforms to resistance management strategies, which may include rotating and/or
tank mixing w ith other products with different modes of action .
USE RATE DETERMINATION
Carefully read and follow all label directions, use rates and restrictions. Application of Serenade MAX prior to or in
the early stages of disease development provides the best control or suppression of the targeted plant disease. Use
maximum label rates and shortened spray intervals for conditions conducive to threatening or rapid disease
development. [For proper application. determine the number of acres to be treated, the label use rate and select
appropriate gallonage to give good canopy penetration and coverage of plant parts to be protected.] Prepare only the
amount of spray solution required to treat the measured acreage. Accurate spray [alternate: [and] or chemigation]
equipment calibration is essential prior to use.
PREHARVESTINTERVAL
Serenade MAX can be applied up to and on the day of harvest.
APPLICAT ION INSTRUCTIONS
SPRAY DRIFT: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of
many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the
grower/treatment coordinator are responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions. Where
states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
GROU ND: This product can be applied by commonly used ground equipment, such as hose-end, pressurized,
greenhouse and hand-held sprayers. Consult spray nozzle and accessory catalogues for specific information on
proper equipment calibration. Maintain agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform product suspension.
Thorough coverage of all foliage [alternate statement for soil uses: soil surface] is essential for effective disease
control or suppression. Use the application rate, indicated for the appropriate crop in the Application Rate tables of
this label, in sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage. Overall, to achieve good coverage, use proper spray
pressure, gallonage per acre, nozzles, nozzle spacing and ground speed.
AERIAL: This product can be applied by aerial application. Refer to the Aerial Drift Reduction Information section
of this label for additional directions and precautions. Use the application rate indicated for the appropriate crop in
the Application Rate tables of this label, in sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage, typically between 3 - 20
gallons of water per acre depending upon the crop. Three gallons of water per acre is the minimum.
CHEMIGATION: This product can be applied through sprinkler (center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel)
roll, traveler, solid set, or hand move) or drip-type irrigation systems. Refer to the Chemigation Directions for Use
section of this label for additional directions and precautions. Maintain agitation during mixing and application to
assure uniform product suspension. Use the application rate, indicated for the appropriate crop in the Application
Rate tables of this label, in sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
MIXING: Serenade MAX must be diluted with water. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and begin
agitation. Add the specified amount of Serenade MAX to the tank. Finish filling the tank to the necessary volume to
obtain the proper spray concentration. It is critical that the spray solution be agitated during mixing and application to
assure a uniform suspension. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. (Optional
Statement: Maintain a spray solution pH between 4.5 and 8 5.J
Serenade MAX may be tank mixed with other registered pesticides to enhance plant disease control or suppression.
This product cannot be mixed with any product with a prohibition against such mixing. When tank mixing Serenade
MAX with other registered pesticides, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both
Serenade MAX and the tank-mix partner(s). Use of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more
restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates.
COMPATIBILITY : Do not combine Serenade MAX in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers if there
has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and non­
injurious under your use conditions.
Serenade MAX is compatible with many commonly used pesticides. fertilizers. adjuvants and surfactants but has not
been fully evaluated with all of these. To ensure compatibility of tank-mix combinations, evaluate them prior to use as
follows: Using a suitable container, add proportional amounts of product to water. Add wettable powders first,
followed by water dispersible granules, then by liquid flowables and lastly, emulsifiable concentrates. Mix thoroughly
and let stand for at least five minutes. If the combination stays mixed or can be remixed, it is physically compatible.
Test the combination on a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur
as a result of application. [OPTIONAL STATEMENT: Do not use with penetrant-type adjuvants.)
ADDITIVES: Serenade MAX is compatible with a wide range of additives. Since the product is primarily a
protectant, thorough coverage of all above-ground plant parts is required for effective product performance. To
improve plant surface coverage, add a nonphytotoxic (adjuvant](surfactant] to spray tank.

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION INFORMATION
BASIC: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many
equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the
grower/treatment coordinator are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. Where states
have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets.
The best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control.
Applying larger droplets will reduce drift potential but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly or under
unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE: Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray
volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle
manufacturer's specified pressures. For many nozzle types. lower pressure p roduces larger droplets. When high
flow rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. Number of Nozzles - Use the
minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles, so that the spray
is released parallel to the airstream, produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended
practice. Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. Nozzle Type - Use
a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce
larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles that are oriented straight back produce the
largest droplets and the lowest drift. Use medium or coarser spray according to the ASAE 572 definition for standard
nozzles or VMD for spinning atomizer nozzles
BOOM WIDTH: For aerial applications, the boom width must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotary
blade.
APPLICATION HEIGHT: Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the ground or the
crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is
safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. If application includes a no-spray zone. do not release
spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or the crop canopy.
SWATH ADJUSTMENT: Use upwind swath displacement. When applications are made with a crosswind, the
swath will be displaced downward. Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must
compensate for this displacement by adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should
increase with increasing drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).
WIND: Apply only when wind speed is 3 - 10 miles per hour (mph) as measured by an anemometer. Drift potential
is lowest between wind speeds of 3 - 10 mph. Many factors, however, including droplet size and equipment type,
determine drift potential at any given speed. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator
should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY : When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to
produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both
hot and dry.
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS : Do not apply during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a
concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light, variable winds common during
inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on
nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the
morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be
identified 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.
SENSITI VE AREA S: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent, sensitive areas
(e.g., residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threatened or endangered species, and land planted with
nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Do not allow spray to drift
from the application site and contact people, structures people occupy at any time and the associated property, parks
and recreation areas. nontarget crops, aquatic and wetland areas. woodlands, pastures. rangelands, or animals.

Application Instructions
For suppression, begin applications at 1 - 5% bloom and
repeat as needed to protect open, untreated blossoms when
conditions favoring disease development are likely to occur.
For maximum control, use Serenade MAX prior to and as
close as possible to Fire Blight infection events. During
periods of rapid bloom development and frequent infection
periods, use 2- to 7-day spray intervals. After petal fall,
continue applications on 7-day intervals while environmental
conditions favor disease development.
Apply in sufficient water to provide full coverage. For
improved performance, use Serenade MAX in a rotational
program with antibiotics registered for Fire Blight control,
such as oxytetracycline or streptomycin.
Proper orchard cultural practices are essential to eliminate
Fire Blight-infected tissue from the orchard to assure good
performance of any crop protection product. Care must be
taken to remove and destroy dead and diseased wood from
the orchard prior to and during the growing season.
Use of Serenade MAX alone has not been shown to affect
fruit finish. Use caution when selecting spray adjuvants.
Select only those adjuvants, which through prior experience,
do not affect fruit finish when combined with Serenade MAX.
For suppression, begin applications at green tip or when
environmental conditions become favorable for primary Scab
development and repeat on 7- to 10-day intervals or as
needed. For improved performance, use Serenade MAX in
a tank-mix or rotational program with other registered
funqicides for Scab control.
For control of Brooks Spot, Cedar Apple Rust, Flyspeck,
Sooty Blotch, Bot Rot, Bitter Rot and Bull's Eye Rot: Begin
applications pre-bloom when environmental conditions are
conducive to disease development. Repeat applications at
7- to 14-day intervals or as needed. Apply in sufficient spray
volume to ensure thorough coverage. Use the stated higher
application rates and shorter spray intervals when conditions
are conducive to rapid disease development or heavy
disease pressure. For improved performance of Serenade
MAX, add a surfactant, known to be safe to the target crop,
to the spray tank to enhance coverage and wetting of plant
surfaces. Serenade MAX may be applied up to and on the
day of harvest (0-day PHI).
Begin applications at tight cluster, or sooner, if conditions are
conducive to disease development. Repeat applications
through the second cover spray on 7- to 10-day intervals.
Additional sprays beyond second cover may be needed on
susceptible varieties or when environmental conditions are
conducive to rapid disease development. Use the stated
higher label rates and shorter spray intervals when
conditions are conducive to rapid disease develooment.

Serenade MAX is a broad spectrum biofungicide for the prevention, suppression and control of soil borne diseases
on a wide range of fruits and vegetables as well as cotton. Serenade MAX enhances germination and plant growth
by suppressing soil diseases, such as those caused by Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Fusarium, Verticillium, and
Phytophthora. See the Application Rates tables for specific information.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS :
ALL SOIL SURFACE (DRENCH), SHANKED-IN, INJECTED, AND IN-FURROW APPLICATIONS:
Mix 0.5 lb to 3 lb of Serenade MAX in the appropriate amount of water per acre. Use the stated higher application
rates when the weather conditions are expected to be conducive for disease development, if the field has a history of
disease problems or if minimum/low till programs are in place. Serenade MAX can be mixed with chemical fungicides
registered for soil applications.
SOIL SURFACE (DRENCH) APPLICATIONS AT PLANTING:
Use at planting, seeding or transplant. Apply finished spray mixture, at a rate to thoroughly soak the growing media
through the root zone, as a drench or directed spray using hand-held, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or
as a chemigation drench or directed spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems.
SHANKED -IN OR INJECTED APPLICATIONS : Serenade MAX can be shanked-in or injected into the soil prior
to-. at-. or post-planting/transplanting of crops alone or with most types of liquid nutrients.
IN-FURROW APPLICATIONS:
For in-furrow applications, apply Serenade MAX as an in-furrow spray in the required amount of water per acre for
the crop at planting. Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed in the furrow just before the seeds are covered.
SOIL SURFACE (DRENCH ) APPLICATIONS AT ANY STAGE OF GROWTH: Apply the finished spray
mixture to the surface of the soil as a drench or directed spray using hand-held, mechanical or motorized spray
equipment , or as a chemigation drench or directed spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. When
applying as a spray (e.g., via hydraulic nozzles at low volumes), it is important to irrigate to move the material into the
seed, root or transplant zone. Normal operation of overhead sprinklers and drip irrigation systems are sufficient for
effective applications. Optimal performance is obtained with preventative treatments repeated every 21 to 28 days
throughout the growing cycle.

spray mixture. at a rate to thoroughly soak the growing
media through the root zone, as a drench or directed
spray using hand-held, mechanical or motorized spray
equipment, or as a chemigation drench or directed
spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation
systems.
Shanked-In and Injected Applications :
Serenade MAX can be shanked-in or injected into the
soil prior to-, at-, or post-planting/transplanting of crops
alone or with most types of liquid nutrients.
In-Furro w Applications :
For in-furrow applications, apply Serenade MAX as an
in-furrow spray in the appropriate amount of water per
acre for the crop at planting. Mount the spray nozzle
so the spray is directed in the furrow just before the
seeds are covered.
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications At Any Stage of
Growt h:
Apply the finished spray mixture to the surface of the
soil as a drench or directed spray using hand-held,
mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as a
chemigation drench or directed spray using applicable
sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. When applying as
a spray (e.g., via hydraulic nozzles at low volumes). it
is important to irrigate to move the material into the
seed, root or transplant zone. Normal operation of
overhead sprinklers and drip irrigation systems are
sufficient for effective applications. Optimal
performance is obtained with preventative treatments
repeated every 21 to 28 days throughout the growing
cycle.

BASIC USE INFORMATION
Serenade MAX is a preventative product for the suppression of Green Mold in mushroom production. Mix Serenade
MAX with mushroom spawn grains or mushroom growing supplement, or apply Serenade MAX as a drench alone to
the surface of mushroom beds, in alternating drench programs or in tank mixes with other registered mushroom
production protection products. When used as a drench, apply Serenade MAX with spray equipment commonly used
for making ground applications and irrigation systems commonly used for chemigation in mushroom production.
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)
Integrate Serenade MAX into an overall disease and pest management strategy whenever fungicide use is
necessary. Follow practices known to reduce disease development. Consult local agricultural authorities for specific
IPM strategies developed for your crop(s) and location.
Be sure use of this product conforms to resistance management strategies, which may include rotating and/or tank
mixing with other products with different modes of action.
USE RATE DERTERMINATION
For all treatments, carefully read and follow all label directions, use rates and restrictions. For treatment of
mushroom spawn grains and growing supplement, use the stated maximum label rates when heavy disease
development is anticipated. For drench applications. application of Serenade MAX prior to or in the early stages of
disease development provides the best suppression of Green Mold. Use the stated maximum label rates for
conditions conducive to rapid disease development or when disease development is anticipated. For proper
application, determine the number of square feet of bed surface to be treated and the label use rate. For drench
applications, prepare only the amount of spray solution required to treat the measured square feet of bed surface.
Accurate spray equipment calibration is essential prior to use.
PREHARVESTINTERVAL
Serenade MAX can be applied up to and on the day of harvest.
AP PUCA TION INSTRUCTIONS
GROUND : For treatment of mushroom spawn grains and growing supplement, be sure to completely mix Serenade
MAX with gypsum, limestone or chalk (see Application Instructions and Dosages Table) prior to mixing with
mushroom spawn grains or growing supplement. Thorough mixture of the treated mushroom growing substrate is
essential for effective disease suppression.
For drench applications, be sure to maintain agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform product
suspension. Thorough coverage of beds is essential for effective disease suppression. Serenade MAX can be
applied with commonly used ground equipment: hose-end, pressurized, greenhouse and hand-held sprayers. To
achieve good coverage, use proper spray pressure, gallonage per square feet of bed surface, nozzles, nozzle
spacing and ground speed. Consult spray nozzle and accessory catalogues for specific information on proper
equipment calibration.
CHEMIGATION : This product can be applied through sprinkler (solid set and hand move) or drip-type irrigation
systems. Refer to the Chemigation Directions for Use section of this label for additional directions and precautions.
Use the drench application rate as specified in the Application Instructions and Dosages Table of this label.
MIXING INSTRUCT IONS
MIXING: For treatment of mushroom spawn grains and growing supplement, be sure to completely mix Serenade
MAX with gypsum, limestone or chalk (see Application Instructions and Dosages Table) prior to mixing with
mushroom spawn grains or growing supplement. Thorough mixture of the treated mushroom growing substrate is
essential for effective disease suppression.
For drench applications, Serenade MAX must be diluted with water. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and
begin agitation. Add the required amount of Serenade MAX to the tank. Finish filling the tank to the required volume
to obtain the proper spray concentration. It is critical that the spray solution be agitated during mixing and application
to assure a uniform suspension. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. Maintain a
spray solution pH between 4.5 and 8.5.
Serenade MAX may be tank mixed with other registered pesticides to enhance mushroom disease control. This
product cannot be mixed with any product containing a prohibition against such mixing. When tank mixing Serenade
MAX with any other registered pesticides, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of
both Serenade MAX and the tank-mix partner(s). Use of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more
restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates.
COMPATIBILITY : Do not combine Serenade MAX in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers if
there has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and
non-injurious under your use conditions.
Serenade MAX is compatible with many commonly used pesticides, fertilizers, adjuvants and surfactants but has not
been fully evaluated with all of these. To ensure compatibility of tank-mix combinations, evaluate them prior to use as
follows: Using a suitable container, add proportional amounts of product to water. Add wettable powders first,
followed by water dispersible granules, then by liquid flowables and lastly, emulsifiable concentrates. Mix thoroughly
and let stand for at least five minutes. If the combination stays mixed or can be remixed, it is physically compatible.
Test the combination on a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur
as a result of application.
ADDITIVES : Serenade MAX is compatible with a wide range of additives. Since the product is primarily a
protectant, thorough coverage of the mushroom bed surface is required for effective product performance when used
as a drench. When used to treat mushroom spawn grains and growing supplement, thorough mixing of the
mushroom growing substrate is required for effective product performance.
CHEMIGATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE
BASIC REQUIREMENTS :
1) Apply this product only through sprinkler (solid set and hand move) or drip-type irrigation systems. Do not apply
this product through any other type of irrigation system.
2) Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.
3) Ensure that the irrigation system used is properly calibrated. If you have questions about calibration, you should
contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
4) 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.
5) 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 any necessary adjustments should the need arise.
REQUIREMENTS FOR CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS :
1) Public water supply 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 the 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 should be discharged
into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between
the flow 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 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.
8) Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical supply tank and entire injector
system. Flush with clean water. Failure to provide a clean tank, void of scale or residues, may cause Serenade
MAX to lose effectiveness or strength.
9) Do not combine Serenade MAX with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers for application through chemigation
