BASIC USE INFORMATION 
 
Sonata® ASO is a broad spectrum, preventative product for the control or suppression of many important plant diseases. 
Apply Sonata ASO as a foliar spray alone, in alternating spray programs or in tank mixes with other registered crop 
protection products. [Apply Sonata ASO as a soil drench alone or in tank mixes with other registered crop protection 
products.] When conditions are conducive to heavy disease pressure, use Sonata ASO in a rotational program with other 
registered fungicides. Apply Sonata ASO with spray equipment commonly used for making ground [or aerial] applications 
and sprinkler/irrigation systems commonly used for chemigation. Heavy rainfall or irrigation shortly after application may 
require retreatment. 
 
[OPTIONAL STATEMENT: Sonata ASO is most effective when used in a preventive disease management program. For 
improved performance, use Sonata ASO in a tank-mix or rotational program with other registered fungicides. When using 
Sonata ASO alone for the first time, use a rate of 4 qt Sonata ASO per acre. Increase the application rate and/or 
decrease spray intervals of Sonata ASO according to the application instructions depending upon disease pressure. [To 
enhance performance, consider adding a surfactant, known to be safe to the target crop, to the spray tank to improve 
penetration and coverage of above-ground portions of the plant.]] 
NON-AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 
 
The requirements in this box apply to uses that are NOT within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard 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. 
 
The WPS set out in Subpart B (40 CFR 170.102) does not apply when any pesticide is applied on an 
agricultural establishment (farm, forest, nursery or greenhouse) in the following circumstance(s): 
 
Commercial Treatment of plants that are in ornamental gardens, parks, golf courses, and public or residential 
turf and grounds, and that are intended only for aesthetic purposes or climatic modification: 
 
Keep unprotected persons out of treated areas until sprays have dried.

6 
 

 
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) 
 
Integrate Sonata ASO into an overall disease and pest management strategy whenever fungicide use is necessary. 
Follow practices known to reduce disease development. Consult local agricultural authorities for specific IPM strategies 
developed for your crop(s) and location. 
 
Use of this product should conforms to resistance management strategies, which may include rotating and/or tank-mixing 
with other products with different modes of action. 
 
USE RATE DETERMINATION 
 
Carefully read and follow all label directions, use rates and restrictions. Application of Sonata ASO prior to or in the early 
stages of disease development provides the best control or suppression of plant disease. Use the stated maximum label 
rates and shorter spray intervals for conditions conducive to rapid disease development. [For application, determine the 
number of acres to be treated and the label use rate. Select the appropriate gallonage to give good canopy penetration 
and coverage of plant parts to be protected.] Prepare only the amount of spray solution required to treat the measured 
acreage. Accurate spray [alternate: chemigation] equipment calibration is essential prior to use. 
 
PREHARVEST INTERVAL 
 
Sonata ASO can be applied up to and including the day of harvest. 
 
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
 
GENERAL: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many 
equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower/treatment 
coordinator are responsible for considering all of these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent 
regulations, they must be observed. 
 
GROUND: Thorough coverage is essential for optimum disease control. To achieve good coverage use proper spray 
pressure, gallonage per acre, nozzles, nozzle spacing and ground speed. Consult spray nozzle and accessory 
catalogues for specific information on proper equipment calibration. 
 
AERIAL: This product can be applied by aerial application. Refer to the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information 
section of this label for general directions and precautions. Use the application rate indicated for the appropriate crop in 
sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage, typically between 3 - 20 gallons of water per acre depending upon the crop. 
Three gallons of water per acre is the minimum. 
 
CHEMIGATION: This product can be applied throu gh sprinkler (center-pivot, lateral-move, end-tow, side-(wheel) roll, 
traveler, solid-set, and hand-move) or drip-type irrigation systems. Refer to the Chemigation Directions for Use section of 
this label for general directions and precautions. Use the application rate indicated for the appropriate crop as specified in 
the Application Rate tables of this label. 
 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
 
MIXING: Sonata ASO must be diluted with water. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add 
the required amount of Sonata ASO needed for the area treated to the tank. Finish filling the tank to the necessary 
volume to obtain the proper spray concentration. It is critical to maintain agitation continuously during mixing and 
application to assure a uniform suspension. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. 
Maintain a spray solution pH between 4.5 and 8.5. 
Sonata ASO may be tank-mixed with other registered fungicides to enhance plant disease cont rol. Sonata ASO cannot 
be mixed with any product with a prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing Sonata ASO with other registered 
pesticides, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both Sonata ASO and the tank-mix 
partner(s). Use of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. 
Do not exceed label application rates.

7 
 

COMPATIBILITY: Do not combine Sonata ASO in the spray tank with pesticides , adjuvants, surfactants or fertilizers if 
there has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and non-
injurious under conditions of use. 
 
Sonata ASO is compatible with many commonly used pesticides, fertilizers, adjuvants and surfactants but has not been 
fully evaluated with all of these. To ensure compatibility of tank-mix combinations evaluate them prior to use, as follows: 
Using a suitable container, add proportional amounts of products to water. Add wettable powders first, followed by water 
dispersible granules, then liquid flowables, and lastly, emulsifiable concentrates. Mix thoroughly and let stand for at least 
five minutes. If the combination stays mixed or can be remixed, it is physically compatible. Before using this product on a 
large number of plants, test the combination on a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic 
response will not occur as a result of application, using the product in accordance with all label use directions. 
 
ADDITIVES: Sonata ASO is compatible with a wide range of additives. Since the product is primarily a protectant, 
thorough coverage of all above-ground plant parts is required for effective product performance. To improve plant surface 
coverage, add a nonphytotoxic adjuvant to spray tank. 
 
CHEMIGATION DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
 
GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: 
1) Apply this product through sprinkler (including center-piv ot, lateral-move, end-tow, side-(wheel) roll, traveler, 
 solid-set or hand-move) or drip-type irrigation systems. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation 
system.

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY INFORMATION 
 
GENERAL: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many 
equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the grower are 
responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, 
they must be observed. 
INFORMATION ON DROPLET SIZE: The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large droplets. The 
best drift management strategy is to apply the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and control. Applying 
larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under 
unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions). 
 
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE: Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. 
Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s 
recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower pr essure produces larger droplets. When high flow rates 
are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. # of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of 
nozzles that provide uniform coverage. Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray is released parallel 
to the airstream produces larger droplets than other orientations and is the recommended practice. Significant 
deflection from horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift potential. Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is 
designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. 
Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles oriented straight back produce the largest droplets and the 
lowest drift. 
 
BOOM WIDTH: For aerial applications, the boom width must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the rotary 
blade. Use upwind swath displacement and apply only when wind speed is 3 - 10 mph as measured by an 
anemometer. Use medium or coarser spray according to ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for 
spinning atomizer nozzles. If application includes a no-spray zone, do not release spray at a height greater than 10 
feet above the ground or the crop canopy. 
 
APPLICATION HEIGHT: Do not make application at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the largest plants 
unless a greater height is required for aircraft safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is safe reduces 
exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. 
 
 
 
 
 
SWATH ADJUSTMENT: When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. 
Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator must compensate for this displacement by 
adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath adjustment distance should increase, with increasing drift potential 
(higher wind, smaller drops, etc.).

10 
 

WIND: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 3 - 10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size 
and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Do not apply when wind speed is below 3 mph due 
to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every 
applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. 
 
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce 
larger droplets to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and 
dry. 
 
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: Do not apply during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. 
Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a 
concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during 
inversions. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on 
nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the 
morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be 
identified 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 co nditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves 
upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing. 
 
SENSITIVE AREAS: The pesticide should only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. 
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitat for threat ened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal 
(e.g. when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). Do not allow spray to drift from the application site and 
contact people, structures people occupy at any time and the associated property, parks and recreation areas, non-
target crops, aquatic and wetland areas, woodlands, pastures, rangelands, or animals.

For suppression begin application at 1 – 
5% bloom and repeat as necessary to 
protect open, untreated blossoms when 
conditions favoring disease 
development are likely to occur. For 
maximum control, use Sonata ASO 
prior to and as close as possible to fire 
blight infection events. During periods 
of rapid bloom development and 
frequent infection periods, spray 
intervals of 3 to 7 days may be required. 
For apples and pears after petal fall, 
continue applications on a 7-day 
interval while environmental conditions 
favor disease development. 
 
Apply in sufficient water to provide full 
coverage. For improved performance, 
use Sonata ASO in a rotational program 
with antibiotics registered for Fire Blight 
control such as but not limited to 
oxytetracycline or streptomycin. 
 
Proper orchard cultural practices are 
essential to eliminate Fire Blight-
infected tissue from the orchard to 
assure good performance of any crop 
protection product. Care must be taken 
to remove and destroy dead and 
diseased wood from the orchard prior to 
and during the growing season. 
Use of Sonata ASO alone has not been 
shown to affect fruit finish. Use caution 
when selecting spray adjuvants. Select 
only those adjuvants which through 
prior experience do not affect fruit finish 
when combined with Sonata ASO.

FOR USE AS A SOIL TREATMENT ON LABELED AGRICULTURAL FIELD CROPS 
 
Sonata ASO has a 0-Day Pre-harvest Interval for all crops contained on this label. 
Under moderate to severe disease pressure, for improved performance, increase rates and reduce spray intervals as 
stated or use Sonata ASO in a tank mix or rotational program with other registered fungicides. 
 
Sonata ASO is a broad spectrum biofungicide for the prevention, suppression and control of soil-borne diseases on a 
wide range of fruits and vegetables as well as cotton. Sonata ASO enhances germination and plant growth by 
suppressing diseases caused by Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Fusarium, Verticillium and Phytophthora. See the 
Application Rates Table for specific information. 
 
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: 
 
All Soil Surface (Drench), Shanked-In, Injected and In-Furrow Applications: 
Mix 1 qt [(32 fl oz)] to 6 qt [(192 fl oz)] of Sonata ASO in required amount of water per acre. Use the stated higher 
application rates when the weather conditions are expected to be conducive for disease development, if the field has 
a history of disease problems, or if minimum/low till programs are in place. Sonata ASO can be mixed with chemical 
fungicides registered for soil applications. 
 
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications at Planting: 
Use at planting, seeding, or transplant. Apply finished spray mixture, at a rate to thoroughly soak the growing media 
through the root zone, as a drench or directed spray using handheld, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as 
a chemigation drench or directed spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. 
 
Shanked-In or Injected Applications: Sonata ASO can be shanked-in or injected into the soil prior to-, at-, or post-
planting/ transplanting of crops alone or with most types of liquid nutrients. 
 
In-Furrow Applications: 
For in-furrow applications, apply Sonata ASO as an in-furrow spray in the required amount of water per acre for the 
crop at planting. Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed in the furrow just before the seeds are covered. 
 
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications at Any Stage of Growth: Apply the finished spray mixture to the surface of the 
soil as a drench or directed spray using hand-held, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as a chemigation 
drench or directed spray using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. When applying as a spray (e.g., via 
hydraulic nozzles at low volumes), it is important to irrigate to move the material into the seed, root or transplant 
zone. Normal operation of overhead sprinklers and drip irrigation systems are sufficient for effective applications. 
Optimal performance is obtained with preventative treatments repeated every 21 to 28 days throughout the growing 
cycle.

ASO in required amount of water per acre. Use the 
stated higher application rates when the weather 
conditions are expected to be conducive to disease 
development, if the field has a history of disease 
problems, or if minimum/low till programs are in 
place. Sonata ASO can be mixed with chemical 
fungicides registered for soil applications. 
 
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications at Planting: 
Use at planting, seeding or transplant. Apply 
finished spray mixture at a rate to thoroughly soak 
the growing media through the root zone as a 
drench or directed spray using hand-held, 
mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as a 
chemigation drench or directed spray using 
applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. 
 
Shanked-In and Injected Applications: 
Sonata ASO can be shanked-in or injected into the 
soil prior to-, at-, or post-planting/transplanting of 
crops alone or with most types of liquid nutrients. 
 
In-Furrow Applications: 
For in-furrow applications, apply Sonata ASO as an 
in-furrow spray in the appropriate amount of water 
per acre for the crop at planting. Mount the spray 
nozzle so the spray is directed in the furrow just 
before the seed are covered. 
 
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications at Any Stage 
of Growth: 
Apply the finished spray mixture to the surface of 
the soil as a drench or directed spray using hand-
held, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or 
as a chemigation drench or directed spray using 
applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. 
When applying as a spray (e.g., via hydraulic 
nozzles at low volumes), it is important to irrigate to 
move the material into the seed, root or transplant 
zone. Normal operation of overhead sprinklers and 
drip irrigation systems are sufficient for effective 
applications. Optimal performance is obtained with 
preventative treatments repeated every 21 to 28 
days throughout the growing cycle.

All Soil Surface (Drench), Shanked-In, Injected 
and In-Furrow Applications: 
 
Mix 1 qt [(32 fl oz)] to 6 qt [(192 fl oz)] of Sonata 
ASO in required amount of water per acre. Use 
the stated higher application rates when the 
weather conditions are expected to be conducive 
to disease development, if the field has a history 
of disease problems, or if minimum/low till 
programs are in place. Sonata ASO can be mixed 
with chemical fungicides registered for soil 
applications. 
 
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications at Planting: 
Use at planting, seeding or transplant. Apply 
finished spray mixture at a rate to thoroughly soak 
the growing media through the root zone, as a 
drench or directed spray using hand-held, 
mechanical or motorized spray equipment, or as a 
chemigation drench or directed spray using 
applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation systems. 
 
Shanked-In and Injected Applications: 
Sonata ASO can be shanked-in or injected into 
the soil prior to-, at-, or post-planting/transplanting 
of crops alone or with most types of liquid 
nutrients. 
 
In-Furrow Applications: 
For in-furrow applications, apply Sonata ASO as 
an in-furrow spray in the appropriate amount of 
water per acre for the crop at planting. Mount the 
spray nozzle so the spray is directed in the furrow 
just before the seed are covered. 
 
Soil Surface (Drench) Applications at Any 
Stage of Growth: 
Apply the finished spray mixture to the surface of 
the soil as a drench or directed spray using hand-
held, mechanical or motorized spray equipment, 
or as a chemigation drench or directed spray 
using applicable sprinkler or drip irrigation 
systems. When applying as a spray (e.g., via 
hydraulic nozzles at low volumes), it is important 
to irrigate to move the material into the seed, root 
or transplant zone. Normal operation of overhead 
sprinklers and drip irrigation systems are sufficient 
for effective applications. Optimal performance is 
obtained with preventative treatments repeated 
every 21 to 28 days throughout the growing cycle.

BASIC USE INFORMATION 
 
Sonata® ASO is a broad spectrum biofungicide seed treatment for the prevention, suppression and control of soil-
borne diseases that attack root systems. Sonata ASO e nhances germination and plant growth by suppressing soil 
diseases such as those caused by Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Fusarium, Aspergillus and Phytophthora. Additionally, 
Sonata ASO has been shown to increase nodulation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria when used on many legumes. 
 
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM) 
Integrate Sonata ASO into an overall disease and pest management strategy whenever fungicide use is necessary. 
Follow practices known to reduce disease development. Consult local agricultural authorities for specific IPM 
strategies developed for your crop(s) and location. 
 
Be sure use of this product conforms to resistance management strategies. 
 
USE RATE DETERMINATION 
 
Carefully read and follow all label directions, use rates and restrictions. Prepare only the amount of product solution 
required to treat the amount of seed required.

54 
 

IMPORTANT: READ CONDITIONS FOR SALE AND WARRANTY BEFORE USE 
 
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 
 
For Commercial Seed Treatment: Sonata ASO as a seed treatment may be applied as a water-based 
slurry alone or with other registered seed treatment insecticides and fungicides through standard slurry or 
mist commercial seed treatment equipment. 
 
 [Note to Reviewer: the statement below would be used only if the container label has non-Commercial 
Seed Treatment Uses (seed treatment on agricultural establishments).] 
 
[additional/alternate statement: 
For Seed Treatment Use on Agricultural Establishments in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box or other 
seed treatment applications at or immediately before planting: Do not store excess treated seeds beyond 
planting time.] 
For improved performance use Sonata ASO in a program with other registered fungicides for seed treatment. 
 
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS 
MIXING: Sonata ASO may be mixed with other registered pesticides to enhance seed germination. This product 
cannot be mixed with any product with a prohibition against such mixing. When mixing Sonata ASO with other 
registered pesticides, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both Sonata ASO and 
the mix partner(s). Use of the resulting mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and 
precautions. Do not exceed labeled rates.

55 
 

COMPATIBILITY: Do not combine Sonata ASO in the slurry with pesticides, or fertilizers if there has been no 
previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and non-injurious under 
your use conditions. 
 
Sonata ASO is compatible with many commonly used pesticides but has not been fully evaluated with all of these. 
 
For Use as a Seed Treatment: 
 
To mix when using with other chemical insecticide or fungicide seed treatments: first add the chemical insecticides or 
fungicides to the slurry mix with approximately ½ of the required water. Slowly add the Sonata ASO to the slurry until 
a suspension is obtained. Add the remainder of the water and maintain continuous agitation. Do not store mixed 
slurries for more than 4 hours. 
 
To mix when using only Serenade ASO seed treatment: Add ½ the required water to the slurry mix. Slowly add the 
Serenade ASO to the slurry until a suspension is obtained. Add the remainder of the water and maintain continuous 
agitation. Do not store mixed slurries for more than 4 hours.
