|
||
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. Human flagging is prohibited.

|
||
Environmental Hazards
|
||
Azoxystrobin is toxic to freshwater, estuarine/marine fish and aquatic invertebrates.
|
||
Azoxystrobin can be persistent for several months or longer. For terrestrial uses do not
|
||
apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas
|
||
below the mean high water mark. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic
|
||
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. Do not contaminate water when
|
||
disposing of equipment wash-water or rinsate.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
Azoxystrobin, a degradate of azoxystrobin and cyproconazole are known to leach
|
||
through soil to ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. This
|
||
product may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable,
|
||
particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
|
||
Quadris Xtra
|
||
Page 4
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is
|
||
especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. This
|
||
product is classified as having a high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for
|
||
several months or more 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 potential loading of azoxystrobin and a
|
||
degradate of azoxystrobin from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will
|
||
be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur
|
||
within 48 hours.
|
||
Notify State and/or Federal authorities and Syngenta immediately if you observe any
|
||
adverse environmental effects due to use of this product.

|
||
USE INFORMATION
|
||
Quadris Xtra is a broad spectrum, preventative fungicide with systemic and curative
|
||
properties recommended for the control of many important plant diseases. Quadris Xtra
|
||
may be applied as a foliar spray in alternating spray programs or in tank mixes with other
|
||
crop protection products. All applications must be made according to the use directions
|
||
that follow.
|
||
USE PRECAUTIONS
|
||
Do not use in nurseries, greenhouses or landscape plantings.
|
||
Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, use another registered
|
||
fungicide for additional applications if the maximum amount of product has been applied.
|
||
The active ingredient(s) in this product may have effects on federally listed threatened
|
||
and endangered species or critical habitat in some counties. When using this product,
|
||
you must follow the measures contained in the County Bulletin for the county in which
|
||
you are applying the pesticide. To determine whether your County has a Bulletin consult
|
||
http://www.epa.gov/espp. Bulletins also may be available from local pesticide dealers,
|
||
extension offices, or State pesticide agencies.
|
||
ROTATIONAL CROPS
|
||
Soybeans, corn, or wheat may be replanted immediately, if crop is lost. Cereal grains
|
||
other than wheat can be planted 180 days after last application. Cotton can be planted
|
||
180 days after last application. All other crops (including leafy vegetables) can be planted
|
||
270 days after last application.
|
||
PHYTOTOXICITY
|
||
Quadris Xtra demonstrates some phytotoxic effects when mixed with products that are
|
||
formulated as ECs. These effects are enhanced if applications are made under cool,
|
||
cloudy conditions and these conditions remain for several days following application. In
|
||
addition, adjuvants that contain some form of silicone can contribute to phytotoxicity.
|
||
Under certain environmental conditions, tank mixes of Quadris Xtra plus herbicides and/or
|
||
fertilizers may cause crop injury.
|
||
ATTENTION
|
||
Quadris Xtra is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple varieties.
|
||
|
||
Quadris Xtra
|
||
Page 7
|
||
AVOID SPRAY DRIFT. Extreme care must be used to prevent injury to apple trees (and
|
||
apple fruit).
|
||
DO NOT spray Quadris Xtra where spray drift may reach apple trees.
|
||
DO NOT use spray equipment which has been previously used to apply Quadris Xtra to
|
||
spray apple trees. Even trace amounts can cause unacceptable phytotoxicity to certain
|
||
apple and crabapple varieties.
|
||
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST (DISEASE) MANAGEMENT
|
||
Quadris Xtra should be integrated into an overall disease and pest management strategy
|
||
whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Cultural practices known to reduce disease
|
||
development should be followed. The SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS section in this label
|
||
identifies specific IPM recommendations for each crop. Consult your local agricultural
|
||
authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area. Quadris Xtra may be
|
||
used in State Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which
|
||
recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease
|
||
development.
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
AZOXYSTROBIN GROUP
|
||
11 FUNGICIDE
|
||
CYPROCONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE
|
||
For resistance management, please note that Quadris Xtra contains both azoxystrobin,
|
||
a strobilurin fungicide in Group 11 and cyproconazole, a triazole fungicide in Group 3.
|
||
Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to either or both of the
|
||
active ingredients in Quadris Xtra and other Group 11 or Group 3 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.
|
||
Follow specific crop recommendations that limit the total number of sprays on a crop and
|
||
the required alternations with fungicides from other resistance management groups. In
|
||
situations requiring multiple sprays (more than two), develop season long spray programs
|
||
for Group 11 (QoI) fungicides. The program should meet the goal of no more than 1/3 of
|
||
the total sprays per season, when a Group 11 fungicide is used as a solo product, or 1/2
|
||
the total sprays when a Group 11 fungicide is used in a mixture. Programs that include
|
||
both solo Group 11 products and/or mixes containing Group 11 products should be no
|
||
more than ½ the total sprays.
|
||
|
||
Quadris Xtra
|
||
Page 8
|
||
Quadris Xtra should not be alternated or tank mixed with any fungicide to which resistance
|
||
has already developed.
|
||
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of Quadris Xtra or other Group 11 and 3 fungicides within a growing
|
||
season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
|
||
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional
|
||
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops
|
||
and pathogens.
|
||
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta Crop
|
||
Protection at 1-866-796-4368. You can also contact your pesticide distributor or
|
||
university extension specialist to report resistance.

||
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
|
||
Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Be certain
|
||
that nozzles are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. Calibrate sprayer
|
||
before use.
|
||
Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain at least 35-40 psi at nozzles, and (2) provide
|
||
sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension - this requires recirculation of
|
||
10% of tank volume per minute. Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation. Do
|
||
not air sparge.
|
||
Quadris Xtra is a suspoemulsion concentrate. It is suggested that screens be used to
|
||
protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on suction side
|
||
of pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line.
|
||
Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at
|
||
the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations.
|
||
For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturers
|
||
and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult
|
||
the current state and local agricultural recommendations.
|
||
SPRAYING/MIXING
|
||
Quadris Xtra may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making
|
||
ground and aerial applications. Do not apply Quadris Xtra through any type of ultra low
|
||
volume (ULV) spray system. Proper adjustments and calibration of spraying equipment
|
||
to give good canopy penetration and coverage is essential for good disease control.
|
||
Higher rates in the rate range and/or shorter spray intervals may be required under
|
||
conditions of heavy infection pressure, highly susceptible varieties, or when
|
||
environmental conditions conducive to disease exist.
|
||
For ground applications, apply Quadris Xtra in a minimum of 10 gallons of water volume
|
||
for adequate coverage and canopy penetration. For aerial applications, apply Quadris
|
||
Xtra according to local recommendations.
|
||
Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. Thoroughly
|
||
clean spray equipment before using this product. Agitate the spray solution before and
|
||
during application. Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean water after each day’s use
|
||
and dispose of pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area.
|
||
Quadris Xtra Alone: Add 1/2 - 2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray of mixing
|
||
tank, with the agitator running, add Quadris Xtra to the tank and continue agitation while
|
||
adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the spray solution after the
|
||
|
||
Quadris Xtra
|
||
Page 10
|
||
Quadris Xtra has completely dispersed into the mix water and maintain agitation until all
|
||
of the mixture has been sprayed.
|
||
Quadris Xtra + Tank Mixtures: Do not combine Quadris Xtra in the spray tank with
|
||
pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers, unless compatibility charts or your own prior use has
|
||
shown that the combination is physically compatible, effective, and non-injurious to the
|
||
crop under your conditions of use. To determine physical compatibility of Quadris Xtra
|
||
and other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of
|
||
the products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable powders and water-dispersible granular
|
||
products first, then liquid flowables (suspoemulsions), and emulsifiable concentrates last.
|
||
After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed
|
||
or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been
|
||
proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.
|
||
Add 1/2 - 2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. With the agitator
|
||
running, add the tank mix partner into the tank. Allow the material to completely dissolve
|
||
and disperse into the mix water. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the
|
||
water and the Quadris Xtra to the spray tank. Allow the Quadris Xtra to completely
|
||
disperse. Spray the mixture with the agitator running.
|
||
Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and precautions of all products
|
||
used in tank mixtures.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Aerial Applications
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Applicators are required to select nozzles that deliver medium to coarse spray
|
||
droplets in accordance with ASABE Standard S-572.1.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the
|
||
field.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Ground Boom Applications
|
||
|
||
Quadris Xtra
|
||
Page 11
|
||
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but
|
||
no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S-572.1).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
x THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY
|
||
DRIFT.
|
||
x BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
The 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 – Groundboom
|
||
x 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 higher flow rate.
|
||
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to
|
||
produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
|
||
x Nozzle Type - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application.
|
||
Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
|
||
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up
|
||
nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel
|
||
with the airflow in flight.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Groundboom
|
||
x For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
|
||
minimal bounce.
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
|
||
x Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
|
||
Quadris Xtra
|
||
Page 12
|
||
x 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
|
||
x When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to
|
||
produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
x Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Temperature inversions are
|
||
characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights
|
||
with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. Their 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 applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
WIND
|
||
x Drift potential increases at wind speeds. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING
|
||
GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
|
||
x Applicator need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect
|
||
spray drift.
|
||
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply Quadris Xtra at rates and timings as described in this label. Quadris Xtra may be
|
||
applied by ground, by air, or via chemigation. Refer to crop section for specific directions.
|
||
Apply Quadris Xtra in a minimum of 10 GPA via ground application equipment and 2 GPA
|
||
via aerial application equipment.
|
||
Directions for Use Through Sprinkler Chem igation Systems (apply Quadris Xtra
|
||
only to crops for which chemigation is specified on this label):
|
||
Spray Preparation: Chemical tank and injector system should be thoroughly cleaned.
|
||
Flush system with clean water.
|
||
Use Precautions for Sprinkler Irrigation Applications
|
||
Apply this product through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move,
|
||
end tow, side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, drip (trickle), or hand move irrigation
|
||
|
||
Quadris Xtra
|
||
Page 13
|
||
systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system except as
|
||
specified on this label.
|
||
Apply with center pivot or continuous-move equipment distributing 1/2 acre-inch or less
|
||
during treatment. In general, use the least amount of water required for proper distribution
|
||
and coverage. If stationary systems (solid set, handlines or wh eel lines other than
|
||
continuous-move) are used, this product should be injected into no more than the last 20-
|
||
30 minutes of the set. Do not apply when winds are greater than 10-15 mph to avoid drift
|
||
or wind skips. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for
|
||
treatment. Plant injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can
|
||
result from non-uniform treated water. Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good
|
||
control. Good agitation should be maintained during the entire application period.
|
||
If you have questions about calibration you should contact State Extension Service
|
||
specialist, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
|
||
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 bein g withdrawn from the supply tank when the
|
||
irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
|
||
The system must contain functional interlocki ng 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.
|
||
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before
|
||
turning off irrigation water. A person k nowledgeable 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 an irrigation system (incl uding greenhouse systems) used for pesticide
|
||
application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety 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 ha s 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 (RPZ), back-flow preventer 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 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 functional, automatic, quick-closing
|
||
check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
|
||
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must 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.
|
||
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 fitted with a system interlock.
|
||
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
