subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them. 
 
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all 
previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final printed labeling before you 
release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with 40 CFR 152.130(c), 
you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved labeling for 18 months 
from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you may only distribute or sell this product if it 
bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is 
defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its implementing regulation at 40 CFR 152.3. 
 
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be 
aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and Rodenticide 
Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product 
would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 
CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, 
regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the

PRODUCT APPLICATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
For resistance management, Thiophanate-Methyl 4.1 SC contains a Group 1 fungicide. 
Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Thiophanate-Methyl 
4.1 SC and other Group 1 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 should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: 
• Rotate the use of Thiophanate-Methyl 4.1 SC Fungicide or other Group 1 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 use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as
labeled by the manufacturer.

5
• Adopt an integrated disease management program 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 
development, 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 treated fungal populations for resistance development. 
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional 
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM directions for specific crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Nippon Soda Co., Ltd.
at 212-490-0350. You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension 
specialist to report resistance."
INSTRUCTIONS 
Apply Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC with ground or aerial equipment, using sufficient 
volume of spray to provide thorough coverage. Continuous agitation is required to keep 
the material in suspension. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. does not advise tank mixes with 
highly alkaline pesticides, including 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, s ee local State Extension Service directions for application 
schedules.
Use the fl. oz./Acre rate for concentrate sprays (less than 400 gallons on apples, less than 
300 gallons on stone fruit). Use the fl. oz./100 gal. rate for dilute ground applications. 
For aerial applications, use a minimum of 5 gallons/A for row crops, and a minimum of 
10 gallons/A for tree crops. For ground applications use a minimum of 20 gallons/A for 
row crops and 30 gallons/A 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.
Chemigation instructions follow. Do not apply through any irriga tion system unless 
these instructions are followed.
For crops without labeled uses of thiophanate-methyl, observe a 30-day plantback 
restriction.
Use on all labeled non-bearing tree fruit and tree nuts: Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC 
may be used for control of the diseases listed on the label for these crops during the non-

6
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. Begin applications as 
disease is first observed or expected. Tank mixing with a protectant fungicide is strongly 
advised for resistance management.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE THROUGH CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS
USE IN CALIFORNIA BY CHEMIGATION ONLY FOR BEANS, CUCURBITS 
(CANTALOPE, CASABA, CUCUMBERS, MELONS, PUMPKINS, SQUASH, 
WATERMELONS), PEANUTS, POTATOES, SOYBEANS, STRAWBERRIES, AND 
SUGAR BEETS.
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 must 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 if needed. Do not connect chemigation system (including greenhouse systems) used 
for pesticide irrigation to any public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety 
devices for public water systems are in place. 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
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-
pressure zone, backflow 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 needs to 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.
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 which will stop the

22
water pump motor when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is 
adversely affected.
Systems must use a metering 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 Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC 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 specified quantities of irrigation water per acre may result in decreased
product performance.
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.
Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC may be applied in conjunction with chemically neutral liquid 
fertilizers. Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, including aqueous 
ammonia, is likely to cause a degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reduced performance and 
needs to be avoided.
RESTRICTIONS:
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.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
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 Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC in a 
mix tank. Fill the tank with ½ or ¾ the desired amount of water. Start mechanical or hydraulic 
agitation. Slowly add the required amount of Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC 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 
Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rate per acre.
The suspension of Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC needs to be injected with a positive displacement 
pump into the main line ahead of a right angle turn to ensure adequate mixing. When treatment 
with Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC has been completed, do not irrigate the treated area for 24 to 48 
hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop.

23
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.

SEED TREATMENT USE
PRODUCT APPLICATION AND INSTRUCTIONS
Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC is an effective fungicide for seed treatment that provides 
early season protection of seedlings against rhizoctonia. Seed needs to be sound and 
well-cured before treatment. 
Read and follow carefully all label directions of each combination product. When using 
combinations of products, the most restrictive of label limitations and precautions must 
be followed.
Seed Treatment Equipment: Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC may be used both for 
commercial and for on-farm application. It can be applied with mechanical, slurry, or 
mist-type seed treating equipment, as long as the equipment can be calibrated to 
accurately and uniformly apply the product to seed without undue mechanical damage to 
the seed. Uniform application to s eed is important for all seed treatment products. 
Treatment of mechanically damaged seed or seed of low vigor or poor quality may result 
in reduced germination. Treat and conduct germination tests on a small test sample of 
seed before using this product on commercial quantities. Due to seed quality and seed 
storage conditions beyond the control of Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. (Nisso), Nisso makes no 
claims or guarantees as to germination of carry-over seed.
PRODUCT INSTRUCTIONS
Seed needs to be sound and well-cured before treatment. Refer to the label rates below. 
Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC is typically diluted with water and/or mixed with other 
products to attain an appropriate slurry application volume (fl. oz./cwt slurry rates) to
provide effective treating. The appropriate volume of slurry depends on crop, weather, 
type of treater and other factors and needs to be adjusted as per normal treating practices 
for the circumstances. Contact your local supplier or distributor representative for 
specific directions.
TO ENSURE UNIFORMITY, MIX PRODUCT WELL BEFORE USE.

24
Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC plus water and/or other treatments need to be mixed 
thoroughly prior to treating seed. Recalibrate treating equipment to compensate for the 
required slurry rate to ensure all products are applied at the correct rate. 
Restrictions:
Do not use Thiophanate-methyl 4.1 SC in combination with other seed treatment 
products unless compatibility has been verified.
