Precautionary Statements
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through
skin. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Wash thor-
oughly with soap and water after handling and before
eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the
toilet. Remove and wash contaminated clothing before
reuse.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils,
nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils,
natural rubber (includes natural rubber blends and
laminates) ≥ 14 mils, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) ≥ 14 mils, or viton ≥ 14 mils
• Shoes plus socks
Follow the manufacturers instructions for cleaning and
maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables
exist, 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 Standard (WPS) for agricultural
pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in
the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum,
using tobacco, or using the toilet.
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets
inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product.
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon
as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
clothing.
Environmental Hazards
DO NOT apply directly to water, areas where surface
water is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high
water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing
of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Groundwater
Ametoctradin and its degradates have properties and
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
groundwater. These chemicals may leach into groundwa-
ter if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water
Ametoctradin and its degradates may impact surface water
quality through spray and runoff of rainwater. This is espe-
cially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
groundwater. Ametoctradin and its degradates are classified
as having high-to-medium potential for reaching surface
water via runoff for several weeks after application. A level,
well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to
which this product is applied and surface water features
such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the poten-
tial loading of ametoctradin from runoff water and sediment.
Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applica-
tions when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours.
FIRST AID
If swallowed
• Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.
• Have person sip a glass of water if able to swallow.
• DO NOT induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor.
• DO NOT give anything to an unconscious person.
If on skin
• Take off contaminated clothing.
• Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
If in eyes
• Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove contact lenses, if present, after first 5 minutes; then continue rinsing.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
If inhaled
• Move person to fresh air.
• If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance; then give artificial respiration, prefer-
ably by mouth to mouth, if possible.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.

Product Information
This package contains Zampro® fungicide, a suspension
concentrate (SC) with two active ingredients, ametoctradin
and dimethomorph. The active ingredients in Zampro
belong to two classes of fungicides with different modes of
44
action. Preventive applications optimize disease control. To
maximize disease control, apply Zampro® fungicide in a
regularly scheduled protective spray program and use in a
rotation program with other fungicides.
Zampro is not for use in greenhouse or transplant
production.
Mode of Action
Zampro contains two active ingredients, ametoctradin
and dimethomorph. Ametoctradin, a strong inhibitor of
mitochondrial respiration in complex III (cytochrome bc1) of
Oomycetes fungi, is classified as a Group 45 fungicide.
Dimethomorph belongs to the group of cell-wall synthesis
inhibitors and is classified as a Group 40 fungicide.
Resistance Management
Zampro contains ametoctradin and dimethomorph, a pre-
mix of Group 45 and Group 40 fungicides, and is
effective against pathogens resistant to fungicides with
modes of action different from those of target site
Group 45 and Group 40.
Fungal isolates resistant to Group 45 or Group 40
fungicides may eventually dominate the fungal population if
Group 45 or Group 40 fungicides are used predominantly
and repeatedly in the same field in successive years as the
primary method of control for the targeted pathogen spe-
cies, especially if resistance to either Group 45 or
Group 40 fungicides is already present in the pathogen
population. This may result in reduction of disease control
by Zampro or other Group 45 or Group 40 fungicides.
To maintain the performance of Zampro in the field,
DO NOT exceed the total number of sequential applica-
tions of Zampro per year stated in the Restrictions
section and Table 2. Zampro
® fungicide Crop-specific
Requirements . Adhere to the label instructions regarding
the consecutive use of Zampro or other target-site-of-
action Group 45 or Group 40 fungicides that have a
similar site of action on the same pathogen.
Resistance Management Advisory
The following recommendations may be considered to
delay the development of fungicide resistance:
1. Tank mixtures - Use tank mixtures with effective fungi-
cides from different target-site-of-action groups that are
registered/permitted for the same use and that are
effective against the pathogens of concern. Use at least
the minimum labeled rates of each fungicide in the tank
mix.
2. IPM - Integrate Zampro into an overall disease and
pest management program. Follow cultural practices
known to reduce disease development. Consult your
local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or
BASF representative for additional IPM strategies
established for your area. Zampro may be used in agri-
cultural extension advisory (disease forecasting)
programs, which recommend application timing based
on environmental factors favorable for disease
development.
3. Monitoring - Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in
the disease management program against the targeted
pathogen and record other factors that may influence
fungicide performance and/or disease development. If a
Group 45 or Group 40 target site fungicide, such as
Zampro, appears to be less effective against a patho-
gen that it previously controlled or suppressed, contact
a BASF representative, local extension specialist, or cer-
tified crop advisor for further investigation.
Application Instructions
Apply rates of Zampro as instructed in Table 2. Zampro®
fungicide Crop-specific Requirements . Apply
Zampro with ground sprayer, aerial equipment or through
sprinkler or drip irrigation equipment. Check equipment
frequently for calibration.
Under low-level disease conditions, use the minimum
application rates; use maximum application rates and
shortened spray schedules for severe or threatening dis-
ease conditions. Maximum benefit of Zampro requires
thorough coverage.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Spraying equipment must be cleaned thoroughly before
and after applying this product, particularly if a product
with potential to injure crops was used before Zampro.
Ground Application
Apply Zampro in sufficient water to ensure thorough cov-
erage of foliage, blooms, and fruit. Thorough coverage is
required for optimum disease control. Unless otherwise
specified in this label, use no less than 20 gallons of spray
solution per acre.
Instructions for Directed or Banded Crop
Sprays
The application rates shown in Table 1. Zampro®
fungicide Restrictions Overview and Table 2.
Zampro® fungicide Crop-specific Requirements per-
tain to both aerial and ground (broadcast) methods of
application. Zampro may also be applied as a directed or
banded spray over the rows or plant beds, with alleys or
row middles left unsprayed. For such uses, reduce the rate
of Zampro in proportion to the area sprayed. Make this
adjustment to prevent applying the product at use rates
higher than permitted on this label.
The following formula may be used to determine the
broadcast-equivalent rate for directed or banded sprays:
sprayed bed
width +
unsprayed
row middles
width
= total row
width
sprayed bed
width in inches x broadcast rate = band rate
total row
width in inches
treated acre field acre

Example: A directed spray application will be made to
45-inch plant beds separated by 15 inches of unsprayed
row middles.
45 inches
sprayed bed width +
15 inches
unsprayed row
middles
=
60 inches
total row
width
Calculations for the appropriate equivalent rate of product
to use in this situation based on a label broadcast rate of
12 fl ozs/acre are:
45 inches
sprayed bed width x
12 fl ozs
Zampro® fungicide =
9 fl ozs
Zampro
60 inches
total row width
treated acre field acre
Aerial Application
Use no less than 5 gallons of spray solution per acre to
ensure thorough coverage of plant foliage. DO NOT apply
when conditions favor drift from target area. Because
complete coverage is important for effective disease con-
trol, aerial application may result in reduced control
because of lack of canopy penetration and coverage.
Spray Drift Management
DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond area
intended for application. Conditions that may contribute to
drift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction,
spray nozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size,
temperature/humidity, etc. Contact your state extension
agent for spray drift prevention guidelines in your area. All
aerial and ground application equipment must be properly
maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsi-
bility of the applicator.
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
The interaction of many equipment-related 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.
DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift
to unprotected persons, to food, forage, or other plantings
that might be damaged, or crops thereof rendered unfit for
sale, use, or consumption can occur.
The following drift management requirements must be fol-
lowed 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 formulations.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or
90% of rotor-blade diameter.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the
airstream and never be pointed downward more than
45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
be observed.
The applicator should be familiar with and take into
account the information covered in the aerial drift reduction
advisory information.
Spray Drift Advisories
The applicator is also responsible for avoiding off-site
spray drift. Be aware of nearby non-target sites and envi-
ronmental 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
• 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.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommend-
ed for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for
the intended application. Consider using nozzles
designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recom-
mendations 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.
When applying aerially to crops, do not release spray at a
height greater than 10 ft. above the crop canopy, unless a
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
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.
Temperature Inversions
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Tem-
perature 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
66
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 applica-
tions during temperature inversions.
Wind
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID
APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDI-
TIONS. Applicators need to be familiar with local wind
patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
Sensitive Areas
The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for
drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. bodies of water or
nontarget crops) is minimal and when wind is blowing
away from the sensitive areas.
Directions For Use Through Sprinkler or
Drip Irrigation Systems
Sprayer Preparation
Chemical tank and injector system should be thoroughly
cleaned. Flush system with clean water.
Application Instructions
Apply Zampro® fungicide at rates and timings as
required in this label.
Use Precautions for Sprinkler or
Drip Irrigation Applications
• Apply Zampro only through sprinkler or drip irrigation
systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow,
side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set or hand move
irrigation systems. DO NOT apply this product through
any other type of irrigation system.
• Add Zampro to the pesticide supply tank containing
sufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by the
injection equipment. In continuous moving systems,
inject this product-water mixture continuously, applying
the labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT exceed
1/2 inch (13,577 gallons) per acre. In stationary or non-
continuous moving systems, inject the product-water
mixture in the last 15 to 30 minutes of each set allowing
sufficient time for all of the required pesticide to be
applied by all the sprinkler heads and applying the
labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT apply when
wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for
treatment. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal
pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform
distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage of foli-
age, crown or roots is required for good control. Maintain
good agitation during the entire application period.
• Contact a state extension service specialist, equipment
manufacturers or other experts for calibration questions.
• 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 backflow.
• 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 pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a func-
tional, 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 with-
drawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is
either automatically or manually shut down.
• The system must contain functional interlocking controls
to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump
when the water pump motor stops.
• The irrigation line or water pump must include a function-
al pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor
when the water pressure decreases to the point where
pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
• 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.
• Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through
all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water.
A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and
responsible for its operation, or under supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and
make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
• DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including green-
house systems) used for pesticide application to a public
water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safe-
ty devices for public water systems are in place.
Specific Instructions for Public Water
Systems
1. 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 out of the year.
2. Chemigation systems connected to public water sys-
tems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone,
back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in
the water supply line upstream from the point of pesti-
cide 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 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 function-
al, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function-
al, 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
77
withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation sys-
tem 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 fit-
ted with a system interlock.
Additives and Tank Mixing Information
Zampro® fungicide can be tank mixed with most recom-
mended fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquid
fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants, and addi-
tives as specified in Table 2. Zampro
® fungicide
Crop-specific Requirements .
The use of additives or adjuvants may improve the perfor-
mance of Zampro. However, all varieties and cultivars
have not been tested with possible tank mix combinations.
Local conditions can also influence crop tolerance and
may not match those under which BASF has conducted
testing. Physical incompatibility, reduced disease control,
or crop injury may result from mixing Zampro with other
products. Therefore, before using any tank mix (fungicides,
insecticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, biological control
products, adjuvants, and additives), 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.
When an adjuvant (or a specific adjuvant product, such as
a drift control agent) is to be used with this product, BASF
recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and
Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant.
Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural authori-
ties for more information concerning additives.
Mixing Instructions
Fill the spray tank until it is approximately 1/2 full with clean
water. Shake the Zampro container well; then slowly add
Zampro to the spray tank while agitating. Agitation must
be engaged before adding the product to obtain a com-
plete and uniform mixture of Zampro.
Limit the amount of spray mixture prepared to that needed
for immediate use.
Mixing Order
Maintain constant agitation throughout mixing and
application.
1. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer
tank 3/4 full of clean water.
2. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly
after each component has been added.
3. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait
until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and
the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before
continuing.
4. Water-dispersible products (such as Zampro, dry
flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates,
or suspo-emulsions)
5. Water-soluble products
6. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrates
when applicable)
7. Water-soluble additives (such as ammonium sulfate
[AMS] or urea ammonium nitrate [UAN] when applicable)
8. Remaining quantity of water
Make sure each component is thoroughly mixed and sus-
pended before adding tank mix partners. See Table 2.

For control of Phytophthora blight or crown rot caused by Phytophthora capsici: Begin applications of
Zampro before disease development and continue on a 5-day to 7-day interval. Use the shorter interval when disease
pressure is high. The addition of a spreading or penetrating adjuvant is recommended to improve disease control.
Apply Zampro at planting as a preventive drench treatment for control of the soilborne disease Phytophthora blight
caused by Phytophthora capsici. Thorough coverage and wetting of the root zone and the crown and base of the plant
is necessary for best control. Use enough solution to wet the root zone of the plant. Zampro may be applied at speci-
fied rates using sprinkler or drip irrigation (see Use Precautions for Sprinkler or Drip Irrigation Applications
section). The level and consistency of Phytophthora capsici control from soil/drip line applications varies with the soil
type, level of inoculum, irrigation volumes, environment, and other factors. See your local BASF representative for
details on drip irrigation use in your area.
Resistance Management. To limit the potential for development of resistance, DO NOT make more than three (3)
applications of Zampro per year.
DO NOT make more than two (2) sequential applications of Zampro before alternating to a labeled fungicide with a
