USE INFORMATION
PHITICIDE is a systemic product containing mono and dibasic phosphites. The phosphonic ion is effective in controlling
downy mildew, brown rot, foot rot and other diseases caused by Phytophthora, Pythium and other related fungi by
activating the plants natural resistance mechanisms. When used in a complete Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
disease control program with good cultural practices, this product will provide control of the listed diseases. To achieve
the best results in disease control spraying, initiate before signs or symptoms of the disease are present or when the
disease first appears or environmental conditions are conducive to disease development.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in
a way that will contact workers or other persons either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the
area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or Tribal agency
responsible for pesticide regulation.

NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are not within the scope of the WPS for agricultural
pesticides, 40 CFR part 170. The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms,
forests, nurseries or greenhouses. Do not enter treated area until spray has dried.
MIXING AND APPLICATIONS INSTRUCTIONS
Apply this product with properly calibrated ground sprayer, aerial equipment or sprinkler system. Always apply this
product in sufficient water for thorough coverage. Fill the mix tank to one-half capacity before adding the required
amount of this product. Add the remaining amount of water while continuously agitating the mixture. Do not apply when
conditions favor drift from target area or wind speed is greater than 10 mph.
Mixture is to be applied to plant foliage, unless directed otherwise in the application rate table. Good agitation must be
provided during the entire application period. Spray equipment must be cleaned thoroughly before and after
applications.
Ground Application
Apply the specified rate of this product in sufficient water for thorough coverage of foliage or as stated for optimum
disease control.
Aerial Application
Apply the specified rate of this product in a minimum of 3 gallons of water per acre unless otherwise stated.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION APPLICATIONS
Apply this product only through center pivot, lateral move , end tow, side (wheel) roll, hand move, drip, microjet and
solid set 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 a chemigation 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 respons ible for its operation, or under the supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Public system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water for human consumption if such system has
at least 15 service connections or regular serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the
year.
Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow
preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream form 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 flow 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.
The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of
fluid back toward the injection.
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.
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.
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.
Sprinkler and Drip Trickle Irrigation Systems
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 back flow.
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 when pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
Page4of13

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.
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
The pesticide supply tank should be equipped with a means for continuous agitation either by recirculation or a
mechanical agitator. Charge the supply tank with the appropriate amount of water and add the pesticide slowly followed
by any sticker-spreaders, insecticides, nutrients, etc. Observe all cautions and limitations on the labels of all products
used in the mixtures. For fixed position irrigation systems such as center pivot, big gun, etc, apply the pesticide towards
the end of the irrigation period. Exact timing will depend on the desired pesticide application rate and calibration of the
system. For moving systems, apply the pesticide continuously. In all cases, provide thorough coverage of the crop.
CROP USE PRECAUTIONS
Mixing this product with certain surfactants, foliar fertilizers, or other pesticides can cause crop injury. If you do not have
prior experience using this product as a solo treatment or in a tank mixture, you must determine crop sensitivity to a
particular combination by spraying a small area of foliage and fruit. Evaluate for 3 to 7 days for adverse effects.
To assure compatibility of this product with other products, pour the products into a small container of water in the
correct proportions: After thorough mixing, let stand for 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be re-
mixed readily, the mixture is compatible.
Mixing of this product with other products has been known to increase the salt content and the potential for fruit burn.
Environmental factors that enhance burn potential include applying product during the following conditions:
1) At temperatures above 90°F,
2) Shortly after a rain event,
3) During color break of the fruit.
Apply with extreme caution when these conditions exist. Determine crop sensitivity to these factors by spraying small
areas of foliage and fruit. Evaluate for 3 to 7 days for adverse effects.

Injection Applications for Phytophthora, Phytophthora ramorum and Pythium spp.: Inject 11 fluid ounces per 21
fluid ounces of water or 1/2 teaspoonful per teaspoonful of water in the following manner: Drill holes 3/16 inch (5 mm)
into live sapwood (depth dependent upon age of tree) with a downward angle into trunk uniformly around the tree
circumference using a slow drill. Do not inject into areas of obvious canker, decay or mechanical injury that appear on
the tree trunk. Calculate the amount of product required by measuring the trees using one of the following three
methods, and use the highest calculated number of injections. 1) One injection per square yard of canopy; 2) One
injection per yard of diameter of canopy measured at the drip-line; 3) One injection per 6 inches of trunk circumference
measured 4 feet above soil level. Make injections with applicators that maintain positive pressure differential such as
ChemJet
®, Sidewinder®, Ag-murph Gun®, Marley® Injector, or hydraulic applicator type equipment that forces solution
into the sapwood of the tree.
Injection Application for Suppression of Gnomonia platani (Sycamore anthracnose): Apply 3.5 pints plus 8.5
pints of water plus 2.5% v/v (3.2 fl. ozs./gal.) of organosilicone based surfactant. Inject 20 mL of the prepared solution
per tree. Drill holes 3/16 inch (5 mm) in diameter and 1 inch (25 mm) to 2 inches (50 mm) deep with slight downward
angle in trunk. Place syringes in the main trunk of the tree and space evenly around the circumference of the trunk.
May be used with equipment such as ChemJet
®, Ag-murf Gun ® or positive pressure hydraulic tree injection. Treat
trees that are at least 10 inches diameter at breast height.
Basal Bark Spray for Phytophthora, Phytophthora ramorum and Pythium spp.: Apply 62.4 fluid ounces plus 62.4
fluid ounces of water with 3.2 fluid ounces of Pentra-Bark ™ bark penetrating surfactant. Apply uniformly to 6 to 9 feet
of trunk circumference. Spray from the top down to ground level from either the first branch or as high as possible
without exposing applicator to drift. Use as a preventative or curative application. Apply solution with hydraulic sprayer,
handheld pump sprayer, backpack sprayer, hose-end applicators with backflow preventers, and other similar
applicators.
Basal Bark Spray for Suppression of Apple Black spot and Scab ( Venturia inaequalis): Apply 51 fluid ounces
plus 74 fluid ounces of water plus 2.5% v/v (3.2 fl. ozs./gal.) of organosilicone surfactant. Apply in early Spring at
budswell or silver tip growth stage. Spray a mixture of this product and organosilicone surfactant around the complete
circumference of the tree trunk until saturation/runoff. Spray from ground level up to 5 feet above the soil line including
the base of the first scaffolding limbs, if present. Treatment generally provides protection for 8 to 12 weeks depending
on pathogen levels. Higher disease pressure will shorten the length of control. Various types of application equipment
may be used such as hydraulic sprayers, handles pump-type sprayers, backpack sprayers, hose-end applicators with
backflow prevention devices and other similar application equipment.
For Suppression of Fire Blight: Apply 2.5 pints per 100 gallons of water, as a foliar spray, to thoroughly wet the
foliage. Begin applications at the pre-bloom stage and continue until the end of bloom period at 7 day intervals. For
Hawthorne, Ornamental pear and Pyracantha, mix 2.5 pints in 100 gallons of water and spray to wet using no more
than 400 gallons of water per acre. Because this product functions as a preventative application, apply the first spray
treatment before blooms appear. Repeat application once every 7 days until bloom period ends. Do not apply more
than once every 7 days. Always use a thorough disease sanitation program to reduce the spread of diseases to
uninfected plants.
