PRODUCT INFORMATION
Tilt is a broad spectrum fungicide registered for the control of many important plant
diseases.
USE RESTRICTIONS
x Do not use Tilt in greenhouses.
x Do not use Tilt as a tree injection except on avocado trees in [California,] Florida
and Puerto Rico.
x Do not apply in a manner that will result in exposure to humans or animals.
Integrated Pest Management
Tilt should be integrated into an overall disease and pest management strategy (IPM)
whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Cultural practices known to reduce disease
development should be followed. Consult your local agricultural authorities for
additional IPM strategies established for your area. Tilt 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
PROPICONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE
For resistance management, Tilt contains a Group 3 fungicide. Any fungal population
may contain individuals naturally resistant to Tilt and other 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 must be
followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of Tilt or other Group 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.
Tilt
Page 7
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 university extension
specialist to report resistance.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
To avoid spray drift, DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift beyond the target area.
Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT
Aerial Applications
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the vegetative canopy,
unless a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
x For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium to ultra coarse spray
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
x The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the
rotor blade diameter for helicopters.
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the
field.
x Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Groundboom Applications
x Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3
feet above the ground or crop canopy.
x For all applications, applicators are required to use a medium to ultra coarse spray
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Tilt
Page 10
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.
x 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 Groundboom
xVolume - 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.
xPressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to
produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
xSpray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended
application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size Aircraft
xAdjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for
setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be
oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
x BOOM HEIGHT - Ground Boom
Use the lowest boom height that is compatible with the spray nozzles that will
provide uniform coverage. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level
with the crop and have minimal bounce.
x RELEASE HEIGHT - Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift. When applying
aerially to crops, 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 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.
x WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS
DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
Note: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator needs to be
familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Tilt
Page 11
x TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to
reduce effects of evaporation.
x TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
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. 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 applications during temperature inversions.
OTHER STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS
Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift requirements regarding
application of propiconazole. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
be observed.
Spray Equipment
All application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate
carriers or surrogates.
Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control.
Air assisted or air blast sprayers move spray droplets into the canopy using a forced air
stream. Set up the fan to deliver only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and
provide good coverage. Adjust deflectors or other aiming devices to direct spray only to
the target area.
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 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.
Although Tilt is an emulsifiable 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
Tilt
Page 12
line. Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where
required, at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturers specifications.
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 agricultural recommendations.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
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
days use and dispose of pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area.
Tilt Alone: Add ½-Ҁof the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. With
the agitator running, add the Tilt to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the
remainder of the water. Begin application of the spray solution after the Tilt has
completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has
been sprayed.
Tilt + Tank Mixtures: Tilt is usually compatible with all tank mix partners listed on this
label. To determine the physical compatibility of Tilt with 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,
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 ½-Ҁof 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 Tilt to the spray tank. Allow the Tilt to completely disperse. Spray
the mixture with the agitator running.
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.
This product may not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing. Tank
mixtures or other applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in
those states in which the referenced products are registered.
Tilt
Page 13
RESTRICTION: Do not mix Tilt with dodine-containing products (Syllit®, EPA Reg. No.
55260-6) or crop injury may occur.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when
excessive spray drift may occur.
Ground Application: For tree crops, apply in a minimum of 50 gallons of water per
acre unless specified otherwise. For other crops, apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of
water per acre unless specified otherwise.
Aerial Application: For tree crops, apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre
unless specified otherwise. For other crops, apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of water
per acre unless specified otherwise.
Application Through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) - Apply Tilt through irrigation
equipment only to crops for which chemigation is specified on this label.
For chemigation, apply in 0.1- 0.25 inches of water. Chemigation with excessive
water may lead to a decrease in efficacy.
Tilt, alone or in combination with other pesticides which are registered for application
through irrigation systems, may be applied through irrigation systems. Apply this
product only through center pivot, solid set, hand move, or moving wheel 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 non-
uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should
contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including 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. 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.
Notes: DO NOT inject Tilt at full strength or deterioration of valves and seals may
occur. Use a dilution ratio of at least 10 parts water to 1 part Tilt. Tilt is corrosive to
many seal materials. Leather seals are best. EPDM or silicone rubber seals can be
used, but should be replaced once a year. DO NOT use Viton, Buna-N, Neoprene, or
PVC seals.
Operating Instructions
Tilt
Page 14
1. 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.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-
closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
3. 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.
4. The system must contain functional interl ocking controls to automatically shut off
the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
5. 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.
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.

Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems which provide uniform water distribution. (2)
DO NOT use end guns when chemigating Tilt through center pivot systems because of
non-uniform application.
y Determine the size of the area to be treated.
y Determine the time required to apply 1/8-½ inch of water over the area to be treated
when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as
specified by the equipment manufacturer. When applying Tilt through irrigation
equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform
distribution. Run the system at 80-95% of the manufacturers rated capacity.
y Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line
pressure.
y Determine the amount of Tilt required to treat the area covered by the irrigation
system.
y Add the required amount of Tilt and sufficient water to meet the injection time
requirements to the solution tank.
y Make sure the system is fully charged with water before starting injection of the Tilt
solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system to
full pressure.
y Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injection period.
y Continue to operate the system until the Tilt solution has cleared the sprinkler head.
Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment
y Determine the acreage covered by the sprinklers.
y Fill injector solution tank with water and adjust flow rate to use the contents over a
20 to 30-minute interval. When applying Tilt through irrigation equipment use the
lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution.
y Determine the amount of Tilt required to treat the area covered by the irrigation
system.
y Add the required amount of Tilt into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the
injection period.

Avocado Laurel Wilt
(Raffaela
lauricola)
0.25 fl oz Tilt per inch
tree diameter
(Equivalent to 3.2
grams of propiconazole
per inch of tree
diameter).
Tree Measurement: Measure the diameter of 5 to 10
representative trees in a commercial orchard with a tree
diameter-tape (D-tape) at 1-2 feet above the ground. This
is the diameter at a 1-2 feet trunk height (tree diameter =
TD). If only a regular tape is available, measure the tree
circumference and divide that number by 3.14. Calculate
the average TD of the trees in the orchard. If trees are
multi-trunked, take the diameters near where the multi-
trunks meet. If branching occurs at ground level then
measure the diameter of the trunks (treatment rate would
be based on the combined trunk diameters).
Retreatment: When trees are first treated with Tilt, note
whether Laurel Wilt is present and, if so, the severity of
symptoms. It is expected that a single application per year
will be sufficient. However, trees can be treated after a
minimum re-treatment interval of 90 days and a maximum
of 126 fl oz of Tilt/A/year. Retreatment should be
considered if laurel wilt develops in trees within one year of
treatment. Thereafter, preventative retreatment should be
conducted annually, even in the absence of the disease.
Treat the avocado trees in commercial orchards when sap
is actively moving up in the trees, not during dormant
periods (e.g. cold air and soil temperatures during winter or
when the trees are leafless). Preventative applications are
more effective than therapeutic treatments. Trees that are
severely affected by laurel wilt may not respond well to
treatment. Make sure that the water used does not contain
any other chemicals and the fungicide mixing container is
clean.
Calculate the total fl oz of Tilt per acre:
0.25 fluid ounce / 1 inch TD x (average TD of trees) x
number of trees/acre = total fluid ounces of Tilt/A.
Application: Choose one of the two application methods: tree injection or tree infusion. It is important for Tilt to get
into the xylem of the tree to be efficacious. See directions for each method that follows.
Specific Use Restrictions:
1) Use is limited to [California,] Florida and Puerto Rico only.
2) Do not apply more than 252 fl oz of Tilt/A/year.
3) Do not apply more than 126 fl oz/A/application of Tilt.
4) Do not apply more than 7.09 lb ai propiconazole-containing product/A/year.
5) Do not apply more than 2 applications per year.
6) The minimum retreatment interval is 90 days.
7) Do not apply within 7 days of harvest (7-day PHI).
Avocado Tree Injection or Tree Infusion Application Method:
Use the rates in Table 1. Use the injection method to inject the product into the tree trunk or the infusion
method to infuse the product into the flair roots or trunk base. Drill holes according to the method below
3-6 inches apart completely around the tree. Use up to the volume specified in Table 1. It is advised to
have an arborist trained in injection/infusion to treat the trees or provide training.
Correct Location for Injector or Infusion Placement:
The flare root area is the transitional zone between the trunk and the root system. Uptake and distribution
of Tilt is more effective when infusions are made into the flare roots. In addition, wounds created in the
Tilt
Page 18
flare root area close more rapidly in comparison to wounds above the flare root area. Applications made
via injections should be made to the trunk and/or major limbs.
Tree Preparation:
1. Depending on the application type (injection or infusion) prepare the area to be treated. Infusion
applications should be made to the flair roots. Injection applications should be made to the trunk.
2. Heavy, thick or loose outer bark may be carefully shaved to form a smoother injection point and
to ensure the operator that the drill hole penetrates through the bark to the xylem.
3. For infusions, if the flare roots are not clearly exposed, carefully remove 2 to 4 inches of soil from
the base of the tree to uncover the top of the flare roots. Brush away loose soil.
4. Drill holes through the bark, into sapwood using a clean sharp drill bit. Drill hole diameter should
be adequate to allow insertion of injection tees and formation of air tight contact between active
xylem and the delivery point of the injection tees. Generally, a drill hole diameter of 7/32-5/16
inch is appropriate. Follow manufacturers instructions for the particular injection device used in
the treatment.
Drill hole depth should be adequate to deliver the product into active xylem tissue. Generally, ¾
inch depth is appropriate, but trees with thick bark may require increased drill hole depth to reach
the active xylem layer. Space injectors 3-6 inches apart around the base of the tree. There
should be several injection/infusion points around each tree. New infusion sites should be used
for each application. Do not drill in the valleys between the flare roots or into cankered areas.
Drill above these areas into the trunk, then continue again into sound sapwood on the flares.
5. Disinfect the drill bit between trees with household bleach (20% solution), ethanol, or other
disinfectant. Rinse bit with clean water after disinfecting.
6. Insert into the drilled holes the injection ports (“tees”). For infusions, connect plastic tubing to
“tees”. The tubing should have inlet and outlet valves.
7. Mix the specified amount of Tilt and water thoroughly in the tank before beginning the infusion
treatment. For the injection treatment, use a syringe to inject the specified amount of Tilt and
water into the injection port.

Infusion:
For pressurized infusions, with the outlet valve open, connect the tank to the inlet valve and begin
pumping solution until all air bubbles come out of the outlet valve. Direct the solution into a container and
return the solution to the tank. Shut off the outlet valve. Pressurize tank to 20-30 psi. Check for leaks
and gently tap in tees if necessary. Maintain continuous pressure on the injection system until the full
amount of solution is in the tree.
Passive infusions, using gravity flow are also acceptable.
Injection:
For injections, use a veterinary syringe to inject the specified amount of Tilt and water into each injection
port in the trunk of the tree and/or major limbs.
After infusion or injection is complete, remove tees and leave drill holes unplugged. A water flush to
cleanse the hole will assist with wound closure. For infusion applications, soil should be replaced around
Tilt
Page 19
the tree. It is not necessary to treat the drill holes with wound paint or other sealing compounds. New
injection sites should be used for each application.
Contact your local extension agent for more details on tree injection and infusion. The injection and
infusion systems described is meant as an example; please refer to manufacturers instructions when
using other types of tree injection and infusion systems.
