Your label amendment submitted May 15, 2009 incorporating RED mitigation 
The label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the Federal Insecticide, 
Fungicide and Rodenticide Act, as amended is acceptable provided you make the following 
changes: 
Page 1 - First Aid Statements: 
Rearrange the order of the exposure categories so that "If in eyes ... " and "If swallowed ... " 
precede "If on skin or clothing ... " 
Page 9 through Page 19 - Application Rate Table 
Throughout the Diseases column of the table there are a number of diseases with asterisks 
indicating that this use is not allowed in California. Where a crop has one or more asterisked 
diseases, add "*Not for use in California" at the bottom of the disease row for the specific crop for 
which it applies to. Then delete the "*Not for this use in California" at the very end of the application 
rate table onpage 19. 
Page 17 - Application Rate Tables: 
Beginning on page 17 with sugar Beets, add the word "continued" for crops application directions 
that extend onto the following page. Also for plum, move the word "continued" from page 17 to 
page 16. 
Pages 29 and 34 - Turf Application: 
Please revise by removing"Not for homeowner use." The Agency no longer supports this 
statement. Labeling should only identify the intended use or user of the product. 
This also applies to page 34. Please revise by stating "Not for use in New York." The label limits 
the application of product to a certified applicator only; thereby, eliminating the provision for 
homeowner use. 
A stamped copy of the label is enclosed for your records. 
If you have any questions, please contact Lisa Jones of my team at (703) 308-9424 or

GENERAL INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS 
For Agricultural Uses 
3

c 
( 
Apply Topsin M 70WDG with ground or aerial equipment, using sufficient volume of spray to 
provide thorough coverage. Add required amount of Topsin M 70WDG to partially filled tank 
agitated by mechanical or hydraulic means, and then add remaining required amount of water. 
Continuous agitation is required to keep the material in suspension. United Phosphorus, Inc. does 
not recommend tank mixes with highly alkaline pesticides, such as Bordeaux mixture or lime 
sulfur. No claim of compatibility with other pesticides is implied. Use the higher rate under 
conditions of severe disease pressure. Also, see local State Extension Service recommendations 
for application schedules. 
Use the LBS Topsin M 70WDG/ACRE rate for concentrate sprays (less than 400 gallons on 
apples and pears, less than 300 gallons on stone fruit). Use the LBS Topsin M 70WDGIl00 GAL 
rate for dilute ground applications. For aerial applications, use a minimum of 5 gallons/A spray 
mix for row crops, and a minimum of 10 gallons/A spray mix for tree and vine crops. For ground 
applications, use a minimum of 20 gallons/ A spray mix for row crops and 30 gallons/ A spray 
mix for tree crops. Higher spray volume will generally result in better coverage and better 
disease control. Lack of control when using below minimum spray volumes is solely at the risk 
of the applicator/user, including use of electrostatic sprayers. 
Use on all labeled non-bearing fruit trees, nut trees, and grapes: Topsin M 70WDG may be 
used for control of the diseases listed on the label for these crops during the non-bearing years of 
new plantings, and on nursery stock. All use directions and limitations must be followed, except 
for the PHI, which is not applicable for non-bearing stock. Begin applications as disease is first 
observed or expected. Tank mixing with a protect ant fungicide is strongly recommended for 
resistance management. 
Chemigation instructions are presented at the end of the application rate tables .. Do not apply 
through any irrigation system unless these instructions are followed. 
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT: To avoid the development of tolerant or resistant strains of 
fungi, Topsin M 70WDG should always be tank-mixed with a fungicide of different chemistry, 
and/or a fungicide of different chemistry should be alternated with Topsin M 70WDG. DO NOT 
USE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIABENDAZOLE, OR OTHER PRODUCTS 
CONTAINING THIOPHANATE-METHYL IN COMBINATION, IN ROTATION, OR AS A 
SUBSTITUTE FOR TOPSIN M 70WDG AS THEY ARE OF SIMILAR CHEMISTRY AND 
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESISTANCE. If after using Topsin M 
70WDG as recommended the treatment is not effective, a tolerant or resistant strain of fungi may 
be present. Discontinue the use of Topsin M 70WDG for at least one season. As long as these 
precautions are followed, Topsin M 70WDG can be useful for disease control, even if resistant 
strains are present. 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
If other materials are to be added to the tank, especially fertilizers high in nitrogen or boron, wait 
until the Topsin M 70WDG is fully dissolved before adding them. Once all materials have been 
added, fill the tank with the remaining volume of water. Maintain continuous agitation at all 
times, and use the spray suspension as soon as possible.

WATERMELONS), PEANUTS, POTATOES, SOYBEANS, STRAWBERRIES, AND SUGAR 
BEETS. 
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 
Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, 
end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, solid set or hand move; or drip (mini-micro sprinklers, strip 
tubing, trickle) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation 
system. 
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or iIIegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from 
nonuniform distribution of treated water. 
If you have any questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service 
specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. 
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 necessary 
adjustments should the need arise. 
Do not connect chemigation system to any public water system. Public water system means a 
system for the provision of piped water for human consumption if such a 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. 
21

c 
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 
Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following 
requirements: 
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 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. 
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 functional pressure switch that 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. 
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above. 
Apply Topsin M 70WDG only through systems containing anti-syphon and check valves 
designed to prevent water source contamination or overflow of the mix tank and containing 
interlocking controls between the metering device and the water pump to insure simultaneous 
shut-off. 
Maintain a gentle continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure a 
uniform suspension. 
Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of 
a more dilute suspension per unit time. 
Application of more than recommended quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in 
decreased product performance. 
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connections or fittings leak, when 
nozzles do not provide uniform distribution or when lines containing the product cannot be 
flushed and must be dismantled and drained. In a center pivot system, block the nozzle set 
nearest the well/pivotlinjection unit to prevent spray being applied to this area. 
Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease control 
may result. 
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning 
off irrigation water. 
Topsin M 70WDG may be applied in conjunction with chemically neutral liquid fertilizers. 
Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, such as aqueous ammonia, may cause 
a degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reduced performance and should be avoided. 
SPRAY PREPARATION: 
Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical tank and entire 
injector system. Flush with clean water. 
22

c 
c 
Prepare a suspension of Topsin M 70WDG in a mix tank. Fill the tank with 'l'2 or % the desired 
amount of water. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Slowly add the required amount of 
Topsin M 70WDG and then the remaining volume of water. 
Sprinkler Irrigation - Notes 
Observe all System Requirements and Application Instructions above. 
Set sprinkier system to deliver a maximum of 0.4 inch of water per acre. Volumes of water 
higher than this may reduce efficacy. Start sprinkler and then uniformly inject the suspension of 
Topsin M 70WDG into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rate per acre. The 
suspension ofTopsin M 70WDG should be injected with a positive displacement pump into the 
main line ahead of a right angle tum to insure adequate mixing. When treatment with Topsin M 
70WDG has been completed, do not irrigate the treated area for 24 to 48 hours to prevent 
washing the chemical off the crop. 
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
Where sprinkler distributed patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease control 
may result. 
Check local restrictions and requirements regarding sprinkler irrigation applications, as they may 
vary from state to state. 
Drip (Mini-Micro Sprinklers, Strip Tubing, Trickle) Irrigation - Notes

GENERAL INFORMATION 
Topsin M 70WDG is a broad spectrum fungicide exhibiting preventative, curative, and systemic 
properties. It is useful on a wide variety of turf and ornamental disease problems. Apply Topsin 
M 70WDG with ground equipment, using sufficient volume of spray to provide thorough 
coverage. Use the higher rates under conditions of severe disease pressure. Also, see local State 
Extension Service recommendations for application schedules. 
Chemigation instructions follow Directions for Use. Read and follow these instructions carefully 
for this method of application. 
Mixing instructions: When high pH tank mixes exist, the interval between mixing and 
application should be minimized. The buffering of tank water to pH 6-7 prior to the addition of 
Topsin M 70WDG is recommended. Add required amount of Topsin M 70WDG to partially 
filled tank (1/2 total volume), agitate by mechanical or hydraulic means, add tank mix product if 
used (see below), agitate again and then add remaining required amount of water. 
Continuous agitation is recommended to keep the material in proper suspension. For best 
results, use spray mixture the same day it is prepared. 
Tank mixing instructions: Topsin M 70WDG is compatible with most commonly used 
pesticides. If tank mixing with other materials, add products in the following order: water 
soluble bags, wettable powders, dry flowables, liquid flowables, emulsifiable concentrates, and 
soluble materials such as fertilizers. No claim of compatibility with other products is implied. 
Do not tank mix with copper-containing materials or with highly alkaline pesticides, such as 
Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur. Consult the intended tank mix partner product label for 
appropriate application rates and use instructions. Follow the label directions for the most 
restrictive of label precautions and limitations. This product may not be mixed with any product 
containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Read and observe the most restrictive 
precautionary statements and other information appearing on product labels used in mixtures. 
28

( 
( 
Topsin M 70WDG may be applied in conjunction with chemically neutral liquid fertilizers. 
Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, such as aqueous ammonia, may cause 
a degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reduced performance and should be avoided. 
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT: To avoid the development of tolerant or resistant strains of 
fungi, Topsin M 70WDG should always be tank-mixed with a fungicide of different chemistry, 
and/or a fungicide of different chemistry should be alternated with Tospin M 70WDG. DO NOT 
USE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIABENDAZOLE OR OTHER PRODUCTS 
CONTAINING THIOPHANATE-METHYL IN COMBINATION, IN ROTATION, OR AS A 
SUBSTITUTE FOR TOPSIN M 70WDG AS THEY ARE OF SIMILAR CHEMISTRY AND 
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESISTANCE. If after using Topsin M 
70WDG as recommended, and the treatment is not effective, a tolerant or resistant strain of fungi 
may be present. Discontinue the use of Topsin M 70WDG for at least one season. As long as 
these precautions are followed, Topsin M 70WDG can be useful for disease control, even if 
resistant strains are present. 
TURF APPLICATION -Not for homeowner use. For use only by individualslfirms 
licensed or registered by the state to apply ornamental or turf pest control products. Not 
for use on turf being grown for sale or other commercial use as sod. 
For use on all fine turf applications such as commercial and residential lawns, parks, athletic 
fields, golf course greens, tees, and fairways, and cemeteries, consisting of cool and warm season 
grasses such as Bentgrass, Bluegrass, Bermudagrass, Fescue, Ryegrass, St. Augustinegrass, 
Zoysiagrass, or their mixtures. When used in accordance with the label, Topsin M 70WDG is 
not phytotoxic to any of the above mentioned grasses. Topsin M 70WDG has both preventive 
and curative activity, and is to be used for the prevention and control of the diseases mentioned 
below. 
Ground Application: Apply Topsin M 70WDG with properly calibrated hand held, mechanical 
or motorized spray equipment or by chemigation through appropriate sprinkler irrigation 
systems. Spray uniformly over the area to be treated. Apply recommended amounts in sufficient 
water to obtain thorough coverage of treatment area (2-4 gal of finished spray per 1,000 sq ft is 
suggested). When treating golf greens, always treat aprons and approaches. Use the highest 
recommended rate under conditions of severe disease pressure. For best results, apply after 
mowing or avoid mowing for at least twelve hours after application. 
Lightly water the treatment area with one to two tenths inch of water to move the fungicide into 
active root zone. Excessive irrigation may move Topsin M 70WDG below active root zone and 
reduce application effectiveness. Green design and drainage will influence irrigation practices. 
When tank mixing with contact action fungicides for foliar diseases, applications should be 
allowed to dry on leaf surfaces. Normal watering may proceed after sprays have dried. 
General Restrictions 
• Do not graze animals on treated turf. 
• Do not feed clippings to livestock or poultry. 
• Do not apply with fixed wing or rotary aircraft. 
• Minimum retreatment interval on turf is 14 days. 
• Do not enter or allow others to enter until sprays have dried.

Topsin M 70WDG is a broad spectrum systemic fungicide which controls a variety of foliar, 
stem, and root diseases on a wide range of commercially important plants. Topsin M 70WDG is 
also effective as a pre-plant dip on cuttings and bulbs. For soil drench applications, best plant 
protection is achieved with preventative treatments repeated every 21-28 days. For foliar 
applications, begin treatments when disease first appears, or during suspected periods of disease 
development. Make additional applications every 7-14 days or as otherwise instructed for the 
prevention or control of the listed diseases. Useofa wetting agent is recommended for plants 
that have leaves that are difficult to wet properly. Use of a spreader-sticker is recommended to 
enhance product performance in wet weather conditions or during periods of overhead irrigation. 
Topsin M 70 WDG may be used to control listed diseases on "backyard" ornamental fruit and 
nut trees such as almond, apple, apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach, pecan, plum, and prune trees. 
Topsin M 70WDG may be applied as a ground application using hand held, mechanical or 
motorized spray equipment, or as a chemigation spray or through an applicable sprinkler 
irrigation system; or as an aerial application where applicable. See specific instructions below. 
Note: The "Directions For Use" of this product reflect the cumulative inputs from both 
historical field use and product testing programs. However, it is impossible to test this product 
on all species and cultivars. A preliminary trial is suggested on a small scale before a full 
treatment is applied to any plant type not shown on this label but found in a similar use site with 
a listed disease problem. Wait 5-7 days after treatment to evaluate results. This product is not 
recommended for use on Swedish Ivy (Nephrolepis exhaltata), Boston Fern (Plectranthus 
australis), and Easter Cactus (Hatiora gaertneri). 
Some plants may occasionally show some sensitivity to Topsin M 70WDG applications, 
primarily as seedlings. Symptoms rarely affect marketability of the plants. Please check 
compatibility under your conditions on small groups of plants to see if there is any sensitivity. 
Application Instructions for Ornamentals: Apply material with properly calibrated hand held, 
mechanical or motorized spray equipment or by chemigation thorough appropriate sprinkler 
34

( 
irrigation, flood, or drip systems. Begin applications when disease first appears and repeat at 7-
14 day intervals or as needed during the growing season. Use the shortest interval when 
conditions are unusually favorable for the development of disease. For hand held, mechanical, 
or motorized applications, mix 6 - 18 oz of Topsin M 70WDG per 100 gal per acre and apply as 
a full coverage spray to drip for the prevention and control of the diseases listed below. Spray 
volume may range up to 400 gallons of finished spray per acre depending upon plant species and 
plant growth stage. For applications through irrigation systems, refer to aerial use rates indicated 
in the foliar application chart. 
Special Instructions For Proportional Injectors (e.g. Dosatron, Dosmatic, Anderson, and similar 
equipment): Determine the treatment rate as indicated below in the ground application column 
for crop and pathogen. Determine the injection ratio for the individual system to be used for 
application. For systems using a 1: 1 00 ratio, measure and add the exact amount of 
recommended material per 100 gallons to each gallon of water in a stock bucket or tank. For 
systems using a 1 :200 ratio, multiply the recommended amount per 100 gallons by 2. For 
systems using a 1 :50 ratio, divide the recommended amount per 100 gallons by 2. For systems 
using a 1: 16 ratio, divide the recommended amount per 100 gallons by 6. Greater accuracy in 
calibration and distribution will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of a more dilute 
suspension per unit time. An injection ratio of 1: 1 00 is recommended for most greenhouse and 
nursery systems. 
For cut flowers, do not apply more than 0.7 lb Topsin M 70WDG (0.5 lb a.i.) per acre per 
application. 
Note: Homeowners do not apply more than 2.5 lbs (40 oz) of product per acre per year.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE THROUGH CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS 
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 
Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, 
end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, solid set or hand move; or drip (mini-micro sprinklers, strip 
tubing, trickle) irrigation systems. 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 
nonuniform distribution of treated water. 
If you have any questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service 
specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. 
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 necessary 
adjustments should the need arise. 
Do not connect chemigation system to any public water system. Public water system means a 
system for the provision of piped water for human consumption if such a 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. 
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS 
Systems utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following 
requirements: 
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 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. 
The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide 
38

c 
injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 
The irrigation line or water pump must include a functional pressure switch that 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. 
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above. 
Apply Topsin M 70WDG only through systems containing anti-syphon and check valves 
designed to prevent water source contamination or overflow of the mix tank and containing 
interlocking controls between the metering device and the water pump to insure simultaneous 
shut-off. 
Maintain a gentle continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure a 
uniform suspension. 
Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of 
a more dilute suspension per unit time. 
Application of more than recommended quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in 
decreased product performance. 
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connections or fittings leak, when 
nozzles do not provide uniform distribution or when lines containing the product cannot be 
flushed and must be dismantled and drained. In a center pivot system, block the nozzle set 
nearest the well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray being applied to this area. 
Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease control 
~re~ . 
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning 
off irrigation water. 
Topsin M 70WDG may be applied in conjunction with chemically neutral liquid fertilizers. 
Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, such as aqueous ammonia, may cause 
a degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reduced performance and should be avoided. 
SPRAY PREPARATION: 
Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical tank and entire 
injector system. Flush with clean water. 
Prepare a suspension of Topsin M 70WDG in a mix tank. Fill the tank with Y2 or % the desired 
amount of water. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Slowly add the required amount of 
Topsin M 70WDG and then the remaining volume of water. 
Sprinkler Irrigation - Notes 
Observe all System Requirements and Application Instructions above. 
Set sprinkler system to deliver a maximum of 0.4 inch of water per acre. Volumes of water 
higher than this may reduce efficacy. Start sprinkler and then uniformly inject the suspension of 
Topsin M 70WDG into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rate per acre. The 
suspension of Topsin M 70WDG should be injected with a positive displacement pump into the 
main line ahead of a right angle turn to insure adequate mixing. When treatment with Topsin M 
39

c 
70WDG has been completed, do not irrigate the treated area for 24 to 48 hours to prevent 
washing the chemical off the crop. 
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 
Where sprinkler distributed patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease control 
may result. 
Check local restrictions and requirements regarding sprinkler irrigation applications, as they may 
vary from state to state. 
Drip (Mini-Micro Sprinklers, Strip Tubing, Trickle) Irrigation - Notes 
Observe all System Requirements and Application Instructions above. 
A pesticide supply tank is recommended.
