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.
|
|
CHESVllGATSON DIRECTIONS FOR USE ' General Requirements:
|
|
1) Apply this product only through sprinkler (including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler,
|
|
solid set or 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 and if you have questions, call the State Extension
|
|
Service specialists, the equipment manufacturer 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 25 individuals daily at least 60 days
|
|
throughout 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 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
|
|
outlet end of the fill pipe and the top of the 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 towards 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 filled
|
|
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 product to
|
|
lose effectiveness or strength.
|
|
9) Do not combine Rhapsody ASO with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers for application through chemigation
|
|
equipment unless prior experience has shown the combination physically compatible, effective and non-injurious
|
|
under conditions of use. Rhapsody ASO has not been fully evaluated for compatibility with all adjuvants or
|
|
surfactants. Conduct a spray compatibility test if mixture with adjuvants or surfactants is planned.
|
|
10) Maintain agitation in the pesticide supply tank.
|
|
11) Apply Rhapsody ASO during the last half of the water application.
|
|
12) Dilute Rhapsody ASO in enough water to be able to draw through system for the last half of the water
|
|
application.
|
|
Sprinkler Chemigation Requirements:
|
|
1) The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pressure drain appropriately'
|
|
located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow.
|
|
2) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the
|
|
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
|
3) The pesticide injection pipeline must also 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.
|
|
|
|
J
|
|
4) The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
|
|
when the water pump motor stops.
|
|
5) The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor
|
|
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 product to
|
|
lose effectiveness or strength.
|
|
9) Do not combine Rhapsody ASO vyith pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers for application through chemigation
|
|
equipment unless prior experience has shown the combination physically compatible, effective and non-injurious
|
|

Drip Chemlgatlon Requirements:
|
|
1) The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain appropriately
|
|
located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow.
|
|
2) The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the
|
|
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
|
3) The pesticide injection pipeline must also 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.
|
|
4) The system must contain functional inter-locking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
|
|
when the water pump motor stops.
|
|
5) The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor
|
|
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) 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 product to
|
|
lose effectiveness or strength.
|
|
8) Do not combine Rhapsody ASO with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers for application through chemigation
|
|
equipment unless prior experience has shown the combination physically compatible, effective and non-injurious
|
|
under conditions of use. Rhapsody ASO has not been fully evaluated for compatibility with all adjuvants or
|
|
surfactants. Conduct a spray compatibility test if mixture with adjuvants or surfactants is planned.
|
|
9) Maintain agitation in the pesticide supply tank.
|
|
10) Apply Rhapsody ASO during the last half of the water application,
|
|
11) Dilute Rhapsody ASO in enough water to be able to draw through system for the last half of the water
|
|
application.

|
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
|
|
• contact people, structures people occupy at any time and the associated property, parks and recreation areas, non-
|
|
target crops, aquatic and wetland areas, woodlands, pastures, rangelands, or animals.
