GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION Apply TOPSIN M 85WDG with ground or aerial equipment, using sufficient volume of spray to provide thorough coverage. 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/ACRE rate for concentrate sprays (less than 400 gallons on apples and pears, less than 300 gallons on stonefruit). Use the LBSIIOO 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 crops. For ground applications use a minimum of20 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 non-bearing tree fruit and tree nuts: TOPSIN M 85WDG 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. Begin applications as disease is first observed or expected. Tank mixing with a protectant 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 85WDG should always be tank-mixed with a fungicide of different chemistry, andlor a fungicide of different chemistry should be alternated with TOPSIN M 85WDG at each application. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIABENDAZOLE OR OTHER PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIOPHANATE-METHYL IN COMBINATION, IN ROTATION, OR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR TOPSIN M 85WDG AS THEY ARE OF SIMILAR CHEMISTRY AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF RESISTANCE. If after using TOPSIN M 85WDG as recommended, and the treatment is not effective, a tolerant or resistant strain of fungi may be present. Discontinue the use of TOP SIN M 85WDG for at least one season. As long as these precautions are followed, TOPSIN M 85WDG can be useful for disease control, even if resistant strains are present.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE THROUGH CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS USE IN CALIFORNIA BY CHEMIGA TION ONLY FOR BEANS, CUCURBITS (CANTALOPE, CASABA, CUCUMBERS, MELONS, PUMPKINS, SQUASH, WATERMELONS), PEANUTS, 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, big gun, solid set or hand move; or drip (mini-micro sprinklers, strip Page 17

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 injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 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. . 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 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 may result. Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. TOPSIN M 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. Page 18

-) 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 in a mix tank. Fill the tank with 112 or 3/4 the desired amount of water. Start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Slowly add the required amount of TOPSIN M and then the remaining volume of water. Sprinkler Irrigation - Notes Observe all System Requirements and Application Instructions above. Set sprinkler system to deliver 0.1 to 1.25 inches of water per acre. Volumes of water higher than this may reduce efficacy. Start sprinkler and then uniformly inject the suspension of TOPSIN M into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rate per acre. The suspension of TOPSIN M 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 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. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage and disposal. PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store in the original container in a dry area. Do not store in a manner where cross-contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food or feed could occur. If spilled during storage or handling, sweep up spillage and dispose of in accordance with the Pesticide Disposal instructions listed below. PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be used according to label instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance. CONTAINER HANDLING: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Completely empty bag into application equipment by shaking and tapping sides and bottom to loosen clinging particles. Then offer for recycling if available or dispose of empty bag in a sanitary landfill or by incineration or, if allowed by state and local authorities, by burning. If burned, stay out of smoke.
