ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Applying this product when rain is not predicted for the next 24 hours will help
reduce potential risk to aquatic invertebrates by reducing pesticide runoff from the treatment area into water bodies. 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
Several trifloxystrobin degradates have properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. The use of
this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water
contamination.
PHYSICAL OR CHEMICAL HAZARDS
DO NOT use, pour, spill, or store near heat or open flame.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Read the entire label before using this product.
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 agency responsible for pesticide
regulation.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains
requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses and handlers of agricultural
pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification and emergency assistance. It also contains specific
instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), notification to workers,
and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection
Standard.
DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas (that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact
with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water), is:
 Coveralls
 Waterproof gloves [Note to reviewer: Based on the acute toxicity review of GEM 500 SC Fungicide (EPA Reg. No. 264-826)
formulation and regulatory risk assessment for the active ingredient, trifloxystrobin, chemical resistant gloves are not required.
The acute dermal toxicity and primary skin irritation resulted in a tox category IV for the GEM 500 SC Fungicide (EPA Reg. No.
264-826) formulation. A dermal toxicity endpoint was not identified for the active ingredient, trifloxystobin, therefore a dermal
risk assessment is not needed. The GEM 500 SC Fungicide (EPA Reg. No. 264-826) formulation is water-based (CSF ID# 264-
826.B01.05.01) and will be further diluted with water for application therefore waterproof gloves are appropriate and provide the
necessary handler protection. Please refer to 40 CFR 156.212(f)(2) and 40 CFR 156.212(f)(3).]
 Shoes plus socks

Ground Application
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 the sprayer before use, and replace worn or damaged nozzles.
Use a pump with the capacity to: (1) maintain a minimum of 35 psi at nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in the tank to keep the
mixture in suspension – this requires recirculation of 10% of the tank volume per minute. Use jet agitators or a liquid sparge tube for
vigorous agitation.
Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-
mesh or coarser. DO NOT place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh screens at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer’s
recommendations.
For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturer’s and/or state recommendations. For specific local
directions and spray schedules, consult the current state agricultural experiment station recommendations.
Air Blast Sprayers
Air-assisted or air blast sprayers move spray droplets into the crop canopy using a forced air system. The fan should be set up 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. Check whirl plates and nozzle discs for wear and replace as
necessary. Calibrate the sprayer before use.
Use a pump with a capacity to maintain the correct rated pressure for the nozzles selected. Maintain sufficient agitation to keep the
mixture in suspension. Use jet agitators, a liquid sparge tube, or mechanical paddles for agitation.
It is suggested that screens be used to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed after the tank and before the nozzles should be
50-mesh or coarser. Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations.
Chemigation
Apply GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE through irrigation equipment only to crops and diseases for which the chemigation use is specified.
Under preventative or light disease pressures the low rate may be applied. Under moderate disease pressures, apply the highest rate
allowed and use the shorter spray intervals.
Types of irrigation systems
Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation systems including hand move, solid set, wheel lines, linear, and center pivot.
DO NOT apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform
distribution of treated water.
For specific information about calibration, contact State Extension Service Specialists, equipment manufacturers or other irrigation
experts.
Uniform Water Distribution and System Calibration
Maintain 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 solution per unit time.
The chemigation system must provide uniform distribution of treated water. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues
in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. The chemigation system must be calibrated to uniformly apply the
rates specified in crop-specific label sections. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service
specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
Chemigation Monitoring
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. 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 apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connection or fittings leak, when nozzles DO NOT provide uniform
distribution or when lines containing the product must be dismantled and drained. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide
residues in the crop may result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.
Required System Safety Devices
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

7
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.
Using Water from Public Water Systems
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.
Public water 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 regularly 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 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. 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 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. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for
treatment.
Spray Preparation
Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical tank and entire injector system. Flush with clean water.
First prepare a suspension of Gem 500 SC Fungicide in a mix tank. Fill tank with 1/2 to 3/4 the desired amount of water. Start
mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Add the required amount of GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE and then the remaining volume of water. Start
sprinkler and uniformly inject the suspension of GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE into the irrigation water line so as to deliver the desired rate
per acre. The suspension of GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE should be injected with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of
a right angle turn to ensure adequate mixing. If you should have any other questions about calibration, you should contact State
Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
When treatment with GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE has been completed, further field irrigation over the treated area should be avoided for
24 hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop.
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Aerial Applications
 For aerial applications, do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site. If the wind speed 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.
 Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy, unless a greater application height is
necessary for pilot safety.
 Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
 Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Airblast applications
 Sprays must be directed into the canopy.
 Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
 User must tum off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer row.
 Do not apply during temperature inversions
Ground Boom Applications
 Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
 Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572. I) .
 Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site .
 Do not apply during temperature inversions.

SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES
AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
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 – Ground Boom
 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 a higher flow rate.
 Pressure -Use the lowest spray pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and droplet size.
 Spray Nozzle -Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed to reduce
drift.
Controlling Droplet Size – Aircraft
 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-Ground Boom
 For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
 Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
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.
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
 When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
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.
WIND
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS. Applicators need to
be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
Handheld Technology Applications
 Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
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.
Compatibility
Gem 500 SC Fungicide is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, and foliar nutrient products. However, the physical compatibility of
Gem 500 SC Fungicide with tank-mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical compatibility of Gem 500 SC
Fungicide with other products, use a jar test, as described below.
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.

9
The crop safety of all potential tank mixes including additives and other pesticides on all crops has not been tested. Before applying any
tank mixture not specifically listed on this label, the safety to the target crop must be confirmed. To test for crop safety, apply Gem 500
SC Fungicide to the target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions for the target crop.
If using GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and
limitations, which appear on the tank-mix product label. DO NOT exceed labeled rates and observe the most restrictive of the labeling
limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures. This product must 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.
Order of Mixing
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product.
Vigorous agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation.
DO NOT let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the
rinsate to a previously treated area.
GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE Alone:
1. Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
2. With the agitator running, add the GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE to the tank.
3. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
4. Begin application of the solution after the GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix
water.
NOTE: Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE+ Tank Mix Partners:
1. Add approximately 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank.
2. Start the agitator running before adding any tank-mix partners.
3. In general, add tank-mix partners in this order: products packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable
granules (dry flowables), and liquid flowables such as GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE, liquids, and emulsifiable concentrates.
4. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
NOTES:
 Always allow each tank-mix partner to become fully and uniformly dispersed before adding the next product.
 Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
 When using GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank
before any other tank mix partner, including GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE . Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely
dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank-mix partner to the tank.
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (FRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE contains a Group 11 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals
naturally resistant to GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE and other Group 11 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.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
 Rotate the use of GEM 500 SC FUNGICIDE or other Group 11 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different
groups that control the same pathogens.
 Use tank mixtures with fungicide 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.
 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.
 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.
 Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
 Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM
recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
 For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You
can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.
