Counties of New York State.]
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, please note that F9651-2 contains both a Group 7 (Bixafen) and
Group 3 (Tebuconazole) fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally
resistant to F9651-2 and other Groups 7 or Group 3 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 must be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that a re equally effective on the
target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as
labeled by the manufacturer.
x Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide u se 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.
x Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effec tively time fungicide
applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage
resistance.
x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advi sor for any additional
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and
pathogens.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance cont act your pesticide
distributor or university extension specialist.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
SENSITIVE AREAS:
The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g.,
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-
target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction
of many equipment and weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The
applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making
decisions.
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift
movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply
to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulation.
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of
the wingspan or rotor.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air str eam and never be pointed
downwards more than 45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. The applicator must be
familiar with and take into account the information covered below.
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 below).
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE:
x Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest pract ical spray volume.
Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets.
x Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturers recommended pressures. For
many nozzle types, lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are
needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure.
x Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that pro vide uniform
coverage.
x Nozzle Orientation - The nozzles must be oriented such that th e spray is released
parallel to the airstream. This produces larger droplets than other orientations.
Significant deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
x Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the inten ded application. With
most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-
drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets
and the lowest drift.
BOOM LENGTH:
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or
rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
APPLICATION HEIGHT:
P a g e | 6
Applications must not be made 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 downwind.
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 must
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 must
be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential.
NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator must 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:
Applications must not occur 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.
APPLICATION AND CALIBRATION TECHNIQUES FOR CHEMIGATION
Apply this product only through center pivot, motorized lateral move, traveling gun, solid set
and portable (wheel move, side roll, end tow, or hand move) irrigation system(s). Do not apply
this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or
illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. If
you have questions about calibration, you must contact State Extension Service specialists,
equipment manufacturers or other experts. Do not apply this product through irrigation systems
connected to a public water system. “Public water system” 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 per
year. Controls for both irrigation water and pesticide injection systems must be functionally
interlocked, to automatically terminate pesticide injection when the irrigation water pump motor
stops. A person knowledgeable of the irrigation system and responsible for its operation shall
P a g e | 7
be present to discontinue pesticide injection and make necessary adjustments, should the
need arise.
The irrigation water pipeline must be fitted with a functional, automatic, quick-closing check
valve to prevent the flow of treated irrigation water back toward the water source. The pipeline
must also be fitted with a vacuum relief valve and low pressure drain, located between the
irrigation water pump and the check valve, to prevent back-siphoning of treated irrigation water
into the water source. Always inject F9651-2 Fungicide into irrigation water after it discharges
from the irrigation pump and after it passes through the check valve. Never inject pesticides
into the intake line on the suction side of the pump. Pesticide injection equipment must be
fitted with a functional, normally closed, solenoid- operated valve located on the intake side of
the injection pump. Interlock this valve to the power system, to prevent fluid from being
withdrawn from the chemical supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or
manually turned off.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve
to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 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. Spray
mixture in the chemical supply tank must be agitated always, otherwise settling and uneven
application may occur. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for
treatment. 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.
F9651-2 Fungicide may be used through two basic types of sprinkler irrigation systems as
outlined in Sections A and B below. Determine which type of system is in place, then refer to
the appropriate directions provided for each type.
A. Center Pivot, Motorized Lateral Move and Traveling Gun Irrig ation Equipment
For injection of pesticides, these continuously moving systems must use a positive
displacement injection pump, of either diaphragm or piston type, constructed of materials that
are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock and capable
of injection at pressures approximately 2-3 times those encountered within the irrigation water
line. Venturi applicator units cannot be used on these systems. Thoroughly mix specified
amount of F9651-2 Fungicide for acreage to be covered into same amount of water used
during calibration and inject into system continuously for one revolution or run. Mixture in the
chemical supply tank must be continuously agitated during the injection run. Shut off injection
equipment after one revolution or run but continue to operate irrigation system until F9651-2
Fungicide has been cleared from last sprinkler head.
B. Solid Set and Portable (Wheel Move, Side Roll, End Tow, or H and Move) Irrigation
Equipment
With stationary systems, an effectively designed in-line venturi applicator unit is preferred
which is constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides; however, a positive-
displacement pump can also be used. Determine acreage covered by sprinkler. Fill tank of
injection equipment with water and adjust flow to use contents over a thirty to forty-five-minute
period. Mix desired amount of F9651-2 Fungicide for acreage to be covered with water so that
the total mixture of F9651-2 Fungicide plus water in the injection tank is equal to the quantity of
water used during calibration and operate entire system at normal pressures recommended by
P a g e | 8
the manufacturer of injection equipment used, for amount of time established during
calibration. Mixture in the chemical supply tank must be continuously agitated during the
injection run. F9651-2 Fungicide can be injected at the beginning or end of the irrigation cycle
or as a separate application. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed and
continue to operate irrigation system until F9651-2 Fungicide has been cleared from last
sprinkler head.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Ensure the sprayer tank, filter and lines are clean, then partially fill the spray tank with clean
water. Measure the required amount of F9651-2 Fungicide and add this to the tank.
Agitate to ensure thorough mixing while filling tank with remaining water. Maintain agitation
during application and apply with properly calibrated application equipment. Do not allow spray
mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods, as some chemical breakdown may occur.
A high quality, nonionic spreader can be used as a spray tank additive for every application.
F9651-2 Fungicide must be added to the tank before the addition of any adjuvant. Consult the
adjuvant label or manufacturer for crop tolerance and safety information when used with
F9651-2 Fungicide.
APPLICATION TIMING
F9651-2 Fungicide can be used in a preventive spray program to manage diseases in labeled
crops. Complementary dual modes of action provided by F9651-2 Fungicide helps prevent the
development of disease resistance. It is directed that this product be used within an Integrated
Pest Management Program (IPM), rotating with non FRAC 3 or FRAC 7 fungicides. Carefully
read, and understand, and follow all directions and precautions. Disease pressure and
environmental conditions will determine application rates and the length of the spray intervals.
Consult local disease advisory system recommendations to determine the predicted disease
pressure and the associated application rates and intervals.
COMPATIBILITY
The tank mixing behavior of this fungicide with other pesticides has not been fully investigated.
If tank mixing with other pesticides is desirable, conduct a jar test with rates and volumes of
carrier typically used in an agricultural application. Look for signs of separation, globules,
sludge, flakes or other precipitates. DO NOT tank mix with the other pesticide if the jar test with
F9651-2 Fungicide has indicated incompatibility. Follow the most restrictive labeling on this
label or the tank mixture partner. Before adding F9651-2 Fungicide along with other additives
or pesticide products to a spray tank, a compatibility jar test must be conducted.
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended
use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all
product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use
and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
Compatibility Jar Test:
F9651-2 Fungicide is compatible with most products, however not all have been tested. Use
the following compatibility test to ensure physical compatibility.
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to approximately one quart of
water with agitation. Add wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, next
liquid flowables, then emulsifiable concentrates, and last liquid soluble products. After thorough
mixing, allow this mixture to stand for 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be
readily remixed, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same
P a g e | 9
procedure for adding products to the spray tank. Use tank mix combinations on a small
number of plants before treating larger areas. When tank mixing, follow more restrictive
labeling of any tank mix partner. Do not tank mix with any product that contains a prohibition
on tank mixing.
Before applying any tank mixture not specifically directed on this label, the crop safety of the
target crop must be confirmed by applying the mixture to a small area of the target crop in
accordance to the label instructions.
FOLIAR APPLICATION
Maximum benefit of F9651-2 Fungicide from foliar applications requires coverage both outside
and inside the plant canopy. Thorough coverage of foliage is obtained by using proper spray
pressure, a minimum of 10 gallons per acre, appropriate nozzles that provide uniform spray
distribution and minimize drift, nozzle spacing and sprayer speed. Follow directions of nozzle
manufacturer for nozzle pressures.
ROTATIONAL CROP GUIDELINES: After making the last F9651-2 Fungicide
application, rotational crops may be planted with the following intervals:
0 days F9651-2 Fungicide labeled crops
30 days Leafy crops
365 days Unlabeled crops

5.0 6.6 fl. oz./A
(0.163 0.215 lb. a.i./A)
Foliar disease: Apply
F9651-2 by aerial, ground
and/or chemigation in a
protective spray schedule,
or when weather
conditions are favorable
for disease development.
Repeat applications at 7-
to 14-day intervals. When
disease is high, use the
higher rate and shorter
interval.
For optimum control of
foliar diseases, a
surfactant must be tank-
mixed with F9651-2.
For management of fungal
pathogen resistance
development, do not
make more than 2
sequential applications
per year before alternating
to another fungicide from
a FRAC group different
from FRAC groups 7 and
3.
Restrictions:
x Not registered for use in California.
x Maximum 2 applications per year.
x Do not apply more than 13.2 fl. oz. of product/A per year.
x Do not apply more than 0.675 lb. a.i. of tebuconazole/A per ye ar from all tebuconazole
containing products.
x Do not apply more than 0.138 lb. a.i. of bixafen/A per year fr om all bixafen containing products.
x Restricted-entry interval (REI) = 12 hours.
x Do not use an adjuvant after the V8 stage and prior to the VT stage of corn. An adjuvant may
be used at any other growth stage.
x Do not apply after R4 growth stage of corn.
x F9651-2 may be applied up to 10 days before harvest for forage , and 30 days before harvest

5.0 6.6 fl. oz./A
(0.163 0.215 lb. a.i./A
Soil disease: For best control in
high infestation level field, apply
three applications by ground,
aerial and/or chemigation using
the maximum rate at 2, 3 and 4
of a 7- application preventive
spray schedule. For most fields
two applications at application
timings 2 and 4 (28-day interval)
is advised.
Apply as a 30-40 gal/A spray,
targeting the root and pod zone
with nozzles producing large
droplets to penetrate canopy. For
soil-borne diseases, rainfall or
irrigation will optimize activity of
F9651-2.
Foliar disease: Apply F9651-2
by aerial, ground and/or
chemigation. Apply the lower
rate early and higher later in a
preventive spray schedule.
Repeat applications at 7 to 14-
day intervals. When disease is
high, use the higher rate and
shorter interval. For optimum
control of foliar diseases, a
surfactant must be tank-mixed
with F9651-2.
To discourage development of
resistant strains of
pathogens, applications of
different FRAC group
fungicide must be made prior to
and following applications of
F9651-2.
Restrictions:
• Not registered for use in California.
• Maximum 3 applications of soil and/or foliar sprays per year.
• Do not apply more than 19.8 fl. oz. of product/A per year.
• Do not apply more than 0.81 lb. a.i. of tebuconazole/A per ye ar from all tebuconazole containing
products.
• Do not apply more than 0.207 lb. a.i. of bixafen/A per year f rom all bixafen containing products.
• Restricted-entry interval (REI) = 12 hours.
• F9651-2 may be applied up to 14 days before harvest.
• Do not feed hay or threshings or allow livestock to graze in treated areas.
