GENERAL USE INFORMATION
Rhapsody® ASO is a broad spectrum, preventative product for the control or suppression of many important plant
diseases. Apply Rhapsody ASO as a foliar spray alone, in alternating spray programs or in tank mixes with other
registered crop protection products. [Apply Rhapsody ASO as a soil drench alone or in tank mixes with other
registered crop protection products.] When conditions are conducive to heavy disease pressure, use Rhapsody ASO
In a rotational program with other registered fungicides. Apply Rhapsody ASO with spray equipment commonly used
for making ground or aerial applications and sprinkler/irrigation systems commonly used for chemigation. Heavy
rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may require retreatment. Rhapsody ASO can be used for organic
production.
[OPTIONAL STATEMENT: Rhapsody ASO is most effectively used in a preventive disease management program.
For improved performance, use Rhapsody ASO in a tank-mix or rotational program with other registered ftTgicides.
When using Rhapsody ASO alone for the first time, use a rate of 4 qt. Rhapsody ASO per acre. Increase tne
applicsition rate and/or decrease spray intervals of Rhapsody ASO depending upon disease p-crsu-e. To enhance
performance, consider adding a surfactant, known to be safe to the target crop, to the spray ^ank to Improve
penetration and coverage of above-ground portions of the plant.]
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) Integrate Rhapsody ASO into an overall disease and pest management strategy wher.cvsr fungicide use Is
necessary. Follow practices known to reduce disease development. Consult local agricultural authorities for specific
1PM 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 ta.ik-
mixing with other products with different modes of action.
f •
USE RATE DETERRfllNATIOM
Carefully read and follow all label directions, use rates and restrictions. Application of Rhapsody ASO 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 equipment calibration is essential
prior to use.
PREHARVEST INTERVAL
Rhapsody ASO can be applied up to and including the day of harvest.
APPUCATION INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL: 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. Note: This section is advisory in nature and does
not supersede the mandatory label requirements.
GROUND: Be sure to maintain agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform product suspension.
Thorough coverage of all foliage is essential for effective disease control. Rhapsody ASO can be applied in
commonly used ground equipment, hose-end, pressurized, greenhouse and hand-held sprayers. To achieve good
coverage, use proper spray pressure, gallonage per acre, nozzles, nozzle spacing and ground speed. Consult spray
nozzle and accessory catalogues for specific information on proper equipment calibration.
AERIAL: This product can be applied by aerial application. Refer to the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information
section of this label for general directions and precautions. Use the application rate indicated for the appropriate crop
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.
CHEWilGATlON: This product can be applied through sprinkler (center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll,
traveler, solid set, and hand move) or drip type irrigation systems. Refer to the Chemigation Directions for Use
section of this label for general directions and precautions. Use the application rate indicated for the appropriate crop
as specified in the Application Rate tables of this label.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
MIXING: Rhapsody ASO must be diluted with water. Partially fill the spra)r tank with clean water and begin agitation:
Add the specified amount of Rhapsody ASO to the tank. Finish filling the tank to the desired 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.]
Rhapsody ASO may be tank-mixed with other registered pesticides to enhance plant disease control. . this product
cannot be mixed with any product with prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing Rhapsody ASO with other
registered pesticides, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both Rhapsody ASO
and the ^ank-mix partner(s). Use of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label
liriiitations and precautions. Do not exceed label dosage rates.
COMPATIBILITY: Do uot combine Rhapsody ASO in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers if there
hcs beer, no previous experience or use of. the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and non-
injurious under your use conditions.
Rhapsody ASO's compatible with many commonly used pesticides, fertilizers, adjuvants and surfactants but has not
been fully evaluated wim all of these. To ensure compatibility of tank-mix combinations, evaluate them prior to use as
follciws: 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.
Tea* ths 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.)
o %
/3i
ADDITIVES: Rhapsody ASO 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 npnphytotoxic [adjuvant] [surfactant] to spray tank.

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION
GENERAL: 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 are
responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations,
they should be observed. Note: This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label
requirements.
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 reduces 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
recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When high flow rates
are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. # 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 tyje 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 oriented straight back produce the lurgest droplets and the
lowest drift.
BOOM WIDTH: For aerial applications, the boom width must not exceed 75% of the wingspan o-- 90% of the rotary
blade. Use upwind swath displacement and apply only when wind speed is 3 - 10 mph as measured Ly an
anemometer. Use medium or coarser spray according to ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for
spinning atomizer nozzies. 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. .
APPLICATION HEIGHT: Do not make application at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants
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.-
SWATH ADJUSTMENT; When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward.
Therefore, on the up 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: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size
and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to
variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence vyind 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.
SENSITIVE AREAS: 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, non-target 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
