Product Information
This package contains Merivon® Xemium® brand
 fungicide, a suspension concentrate (SC) containing
 fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin . The active ingredients in
Merivon belong to two classes of fungicides, the
 strobilurins or Quinone Outside Inhibitors (QoI) and
 succinate-dehydro genase (SDH) inhibitor classes . To
 maximize disease control, apply Merivon in a regularly
scheduled protective spray program and use in a rotation
program with other fungicides .

This labeling is legally valid only for use with a container of Merivon ® Xemium ® brand fungicide , EPA Reg. No. 7969-310. See page 1 for additional legal requirements on the use of this labeling.
Preventive applications optimize disease control, resulting
in improved plant health . The increase in plant health
comes from the combined effect of disease control
(including fungal diseases listed in Crop-specific direc -
tions), improved growth efficiency and improved stress
tolerance . Overall increased plant health may result in an
improvement in crop growth and crop quality as well as
increased crop yields .
Because of its high specific activity, Merivon® Xemium®
brand fungicide has residual activity against target fungi .
Information regarding the contents and levels of metals in
this product is available on the Internet at
http://www .aapfco .org/metals .htm .
Merivon is not for use in greenhouse or transplant
 production .
Modes of Action
Fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin, the active ingredients of
Merivon, belong to the groups of respiration inhibitors
classified as target-site-of-action Group 7 and Group 11
fungicides, respectively .
Resistance Management
For resistance management, please note that Merivon
contains a premix of Group 7 (fluxapyroxad) and
Group 11 (pyraclostrobin) fungicides . Any fungal popula-
tion may contain individuals naturally resistant to Merivon
and other Group 7 or Group 11 fungicides . A gradual or
total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fun-
gicides are used repeatedly in the same fields . Appropriate
resistance- management strategies should be followed .
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of
the following steps:
• Rotate the use of Merivon or other Group 7 or
Group 11 fungicides within a growing season sequence
with different groups that control the same pathogens .
• Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group
that are equally effective on the target pest when such a
use is permitted . Use at least the minimum labeled rates
of each fungicide in the tank mix .
• Adopt an integrated disease and pest management pro -
gram for fungicide use 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 develop -
ment, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological
and other chemical control practices .
• Where possible, make use of predictive disease models
to effectively time fungicide applications . Note that using
predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage
resistance .
• Monitor treatment area for lack of efficacy that might
indicate possible resistance development .
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop
advisor for any additional pesticide
resistance- management and/or IPM recommendations
for specific crops and pathogens .
• For further information or to report suspected resistance
contact your local BASF representative, extension spe -
cialist or certified crop advisor .
Application Instructions
Apply specified rates of Merivon as instructed in Table 3.
Merivon® Xemium® brand fungicide Crop-specific
Directions . Merivon can be applied by ground and aerial
application . For best results, thorough coverage of plant
materials is required . Merivon can also be applied through
sprinkler irrigation equipment . Application using drip irriga-
tion equipment is permitted in select crops as instructed in
Table 3. Merivon® Xemium® brand fungicide
Crop-specific Directions . Check equipment frequently
for calibration .
Under low-level disease conditions, the minimum applica -
tion rates can be used while maximum application rates
and shortened spray schedules are advised for severe or
threatening disease conditions .
Ground Application
Apply Merivon in sufficient water to ensure thorough cov-
erage of foliage, bloom, and fruit . Thorough coverage is
required for optimum disease control . Complete coverage
of the stem, all the way down to the soil, is required for
suppression of soilborne diseases of the stem .
Instructions for Directed or Banded Crop Sprays
The application rates shown in Table 1. Merivon®
 Xemium® brand fungicide Restrictions and
 Limitations Overview and Table 3. Merivon®
 Xemium® brand fungicide Crop-specific Directions
on this label reflect the amount of product to be applied
uniformly over an acre of ground on a broadcast basis . In
some crops, Merivon may be used as a directed or band-
ed spray over the rows or plant beds with the alleys or row
middles left unsprayed . For such uses, reduce the rate of
Merivon in proportion to the area actually sprayed . Make
this adjustment to avoid 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 doing directed or banded
sprays:
sprayed bed width + unsprayed row middle width =
total row width
sprayed bed
width in inches x broadcast rate = band rate
total row
width in inches

Example: A directed spray application will be made to
45-inch plant beds that are separated by 15 inches of
unsprayed row middles .

Mandatory Spray Drift Management
Aerial Applications:
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 ft
above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a great-
er application height is necessary for pilot safety .
• For all applications, applicators are required to select
nozzle and pressure that deliver a medium or coarser
droplet size (ASABE S641) .
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at
the application site . If the windspeed is greater than
10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the
wingspan for fixed wing aircraft and 75% or less of the
rotor diameter for helicopters . Otherwise, the boom
length must be 75% or less of the wingspan for fixed-
wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for
helicopters .
• If the windspeed is 10 miles per hour or less, applica -
tors must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind at the
downwind edge of the field . When the windspeed is
between 11 to 15 miles per hour, applicators must use
3/4 swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge
of the field .
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions .
Ground Boom Applications:
• User must only apply with the release height recom -
mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 ft
above the ground or crop canopy .
• Applicators are required to select nozzle and pressure
that deliver uniform application and desired spray qual -
ity . A medium or coarser droplet size is preferred
(ASABE S572) .
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at
the application site .
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions .
Spray Drift Advisories
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-
SITE SPRAY DRIFT . BE AWARE OF NEARBY
NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS .
Boomless Ground Applications
Setting nozzles at the lowest effective height will help to
reduce the potential for spray drift .
Handheld Technology Applications
Take precautions to minimize spray drift .
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 .
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
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 CONDITIONS .
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns
and terrain that could affect spray drift .
Aerial Application
For aerial application in New York State, DO NOT
apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (including, but
not limited to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams, marsh-
es, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fishponds).
For all crops listed in this label, aerial application can be
made and thorough coverage is required to obtain opti-
mum disease control . Avoid applications under conditions
when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when spray
drift may occur . DO NOT use less than 2 gallons of spray
solution per acre . For aerial applications to tree crops,
DO NOT use less than 10 gallons of spray solution per
acre . For aerial applications to avocado, DO NOT use less
than 20 gallons of spray solution per acre . For all other
crops, thorough coverage is required for optimum disease
control . The reduced spray volumes used in aerial applica -
tions may result in physical incompatibility, reduced
disease control, or crop injury from Merivon® Xemium®
brand fungicide applications, particularly when tank
mixed with other products . Therefore, before making aerial
applications test the spray on a small portion of the crop to
be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not
occur as a result of application .
DO NOT apply when possible drift can occur to: unpro -
tected persons; to food, forage, or other plantings that
might be damaged; or crops that would then be rendered
unfit for sale, use or consumption .
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
be observed .
Sensitive Areas
The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for
drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e .g . bodies of water or
non-target crops) is minimal and when wind is blowing
away from the sensitive areas .
Directions for Use Through Irrigation
Systems
Sprayer Preparation
Clean chemical tank and injector system thoroughly . Flush
system with clean water .
Application Instructions
Apply Merivon at rates and timings as required in this
label .
Use Precautions for Sprinkler Irrigation and Drip
Irrigation Applications
• This product can be applied through sprinkler irrigation
systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow,
side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move
irrigation systems equipment . Application using drip irri-
gation is permitted in select crops as instructed in
Table 3. Merivon ® Xemium® brand fungicide
Crop-specific Directions . DO NOT apply this product
through any other type of irrigation system .
• Add Merivon 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) of water per acre . In stationary
or noncontinuous 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 is required for optimal control . Maintain 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, vacu -
um 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 the supervision of

the responsible person, must shut the system down and
make necessary adjustments should the need arise .
• DO NOT connect an irrigation system used for pesticide
application to a public water system unless the pesticide
label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems
are in place .
• DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the
area intended for treatment .
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 systems
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 pesticide
introduction . As an option to the RPZ, the water from the
public water system must be discharged into a reservoir
tank prior to pesticide introduction . There must be a com-
plete 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 with-
drawn 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 fit -
ted with a system interlock .
Additives and Tank Mixing Information
It is the pesticide user’s 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 .
Merivon® Xemium® brand fungicide can be tank mixed
with fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers,
 biological control products, adjuvants, and additives as
specified in Table 3. Merivon® Xemium® brand
 fungicide Crop-specific Directions . See avocado, ber-
ries and small fruits subgroups, cucurbit vegetables group,
fruiting vegetables group, grapes, and leafy vegetables
group in Table 3. Merivon® Xemium® brand fungicide
Crop-specific Directions for exceptions .
Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants
may improve the performance of Merivon . 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 Merivon 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 is to be used with this product, BASF
advises the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors
Association certified adjuvant .
Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural
authorities for more information concerning additives.
If tank mixes are used, follow restrictions for rates, label
instructions, and precautions on all labels .

Application Directions. For optimal disease control, begin applications of Merivon prior to disease development
and continue on a 7 to 14 day interval . The lower rate and longer interval can be used early season prior to the
observance of symptoms and when disease pressure is low .
Use the higher rates and shorter intervals once disease has been confirmed in your area or weather conditions are
conducive to disease development .
Use of Adjuvants and Other Products as Mixes with Merivon. The use of additives or adjuvants may improve
the performance of Merivon on tuberous and corm vegetables .
However, BASF evaluations also indicate that under some conditions, application of Merivon in combination with
certain rates of organosilicone-based or oil-containing (petroleum, crop or methylated seed oil) additives or adjuvants
can cause crop injury . Crop injury also may result from applications of Merivon mixed with other products that have
solvent-based formulations that increase penetration .
BASF has not tested all varieties and cultivars with all possible tank mix combinations and rates of additives or
adjuvants . Local environmental conditions also influence crop tolerance and may not match those under which BASF
has conducted testing . Physical incompatibility, reduced disease control, crop injury, or incompatibility due to

All varieties and cultivars have not been tested with NIS tank mix combinations. Local conditions can also influence
crop tolerance. Therefore, before tank mixing Merivon with NIS adjuvants, test the combination on a small portion of
the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not result.
Restrictions
The minimum retreatment interval is 14 days.
DO NOT use handheld/portable fogger/mister. For mechanically pressurized backpack sprayer applications, refer to
PPE requirements under Precautionary Statements.
DO NOT apply more than 11 fl ozs (0.180 lb fluxapyroxad 0.180 lb pyraclostrobin) per acre per application.
DO NOT apply more than 33 fl ozs (0.539 lb fluxapyroxad, 0.539 lb pyraclostrobin) per acre per year.
DO NOT apply more than 3 applications per year.
DO NOT make more than two (2) sequential applications of Merivon before alternating to a labeled non-Group 7 or
non-Group 11 fungicide.

Grapes (continued)
Use of Adjuvants and Other Products as Mixes with Merivon.
The use of adjuvants or additives may improve the performance of Merivon on wine and raisin grapes. However,
under certain conditions, mixtures of Merivon with adjuvants, additives and/or other products may cause crop injury.
Caution must be exercised if Merivon is tank mixed with products containing high amounts of solvents as crop
response to actively growing foliage and/or fruit can occur under certain conditions.
The use of citrus oils or adjuvants containing methylated seed oil (MSO) may increase the likelihood of necrotic spots
and/or marginal necrosis on active growing leaves of certain sensitive varieties.
BASF has not tested all varieties and cultivars with all possible tank mix combinations and rates of additives or
adjuvants. Local environmental conditions also influence crop tolerance and may not match those under which BASF
has conducted testing. Physical incompatibility, reduced disease control, crop injury, or incompatibility due to additives,
adjuvants or other products used in combination with Merivon may result from mixing Merivon with other products.
Refer also to the Conditions of Sale and Warranty section of this label.
To minimize the likelihood of crop injury, BASF advises testing Merivon in combination with other products for crop
safety on a small portion of young foliage before application to the crop. However, environmental variability precludes
direct and consistent projection of small area test results to future use.
Consult your local BASF representative for more information specific to your area and specific conditions that may
cause crop response.
Crop Safety Precaution. DO NOT use Merivon on Concord, Noiret and NY73.0136.17 varieties due to possible
foliar injury. Possible foliar injury could occur to Worden, Fredonia, Niagara, Steuben, Rougeon or related
varieties. Not all varieties have been thoroughly tested.
Resistance Management. To limit the potential for development of resistance, DO NOT exceed the maximum limits in
the table above.
Restrictions
DO NOT use handheld/portable fogger/mister. For mechanically pressurized backpack sprayer applications, refer to
PPE requirements under Precautionary Statements.
The minimum retreatment intervals are listed above with their corresponding diseases.
DO NOT apply more than 5. 5 fl ozs of Merivon (0. 090 lb fluxapyroxad, 0. 090 lb pyraclostrobin) per acre per application.
DO NOT apply more than 33 fl ozs of Merivon (0. 539 lb/acre fluxapyroxad, 0. 539 lb/acre pyraclostrobin) per acre per
year.
DO NOT make more than 6 applications per year.
DO NOT make more than two (2) sequential applications of Merivon before alternating to a labeled non-Group 7 or
non-Group 11 fungicide.
Mix Merivon with water only for applications to table grapes.
DO NOT mix with EC formulation pesticides.
DO NOT mix with petroleum oil-based products such as mineral and paraffinic oil (including phytobland oil) or with
blended adjuvants containing petroleum oil-based products, e.g., stylet oil, crop oil concentrate and crop oil
(emulsifiable).
