PRODUCT INFORMATION 
PREEMPTOR® Fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide for the control or suppression of certain 
diseases in corn (field corn and field corn grown for seed), soybean and wheat. PREEMPTOR® 
Fungicide works by interfering with respiration and sterol synthesis in plant-pathogenic fungi, 
and is a potent inhibitor of spore germination and mycelial growth. The active ingredients, 
fluoxastrobin and flutriafol move rapidly into green tissue via translaminar and acropetal 
movement. PREEMPTOR
® Fungicide is rainfast 2 hours after application. Disease control will 
be reduced if rainfall occurs within 2 hours of application. The activity of PREEMPTOR® 
Fungicide makes it an excellent choice as a broad spectrum, dual action fungicide for disease 
management programs for corn, soybean and wheat.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
The active ingredients in PREEMPTOR® Fungicide (fluoxastrobin and flutriafol) belong to the 
strobilurin (Group 11) and the demethylation inhibitor (Group 3) fungicide classes, respectively. 
The dual action of PREEMPTOR
® Fungicide results in a built in resistance management 
strategy that will minimize the resistance in at risk pathogens. Fungal pathogens are known to 
develop resistance to products with the same mode of action when used repeatedly. Because 
resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should conform to 
resistance management strategies established for agricultural uses. Such strategies may 
include rotating and/or tank mixing with products having different modes of action, or limiting the

Preemptor Fungicide [Optional text appears in bra ckets] 
EPA Reg. No. 279- 
 
Page 6 of 17
total number of applications per year. FMC encourages responsible resistance management to 
ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on this label. 
In programs in which PREEMPTOR ® Fungicide is used, the number of Group 11 fungicides 
(strobilurins) and Group 3 fungicides (demethylation inhibitors) applications should be no more 
than one half of the total number of fungicide applications per year for at risk pathogens. 
Follow specific directions for individual crops that limit the total number of applications. 
APPLICATION GUIDELINES 
Broadcast Ground Sprayers 
Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Applications using sufficient 
water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage generally provide the most effective 
disease control. For ground application equipment 10 gallons/A minimum is required. 
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. 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. 
Aerial Application[*] 
Aerial application of this product is prohibited in New York State. 
For aerial application, use aircraft spray equipment in a minimum of 2 gallons of spray solution 
per acre for corn, soybean and wheat. Avoid application under conditions when uniform 
coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift may occur. Aerial applications made 
to dense canopies may not provide sufficient coverage of lower leaves to provide proper 
disease control. 
[*Not approved for use in California.] 
Mixing Procedures 
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean 
spray equipment before using this product. 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.
PREEMPTOR
® Fungicide Alone
Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the 
PREEMPTOR® Fungicide to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the 
water. Begin application of the solution after the PREEMPTOR® Fungicide has completely and 
uniformly dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been 
applied.

PREEMPTOR® Fungicide + Tank mix Partners
x Do not tank mix PREEMPTOR ® Fungicide with any bromoxynil based product (e.g. 
Huskie, Axial XL) or crop injury could occur. 
x Follow the directions of the tank mix partner with respect to adjuvant use. 
 
 Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before 
adding any tank mix partners. In general, tank mix partners should be added in this order: 
products packaged in water-soluble packaging (see note in next paragraph), wettable powders, 
wettable granules, (dry flowables), liquid flowables (such as PREEMPTOR
® Fungicide,) liquids, 
and emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully and 
uniformly dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the 
remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. 
Note: When using PREEMPTOR
® Fungicide in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble 
packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank mix partner. 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.
 
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.
 
If using PREEMPTOR® 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. No label dosage rate may be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and 
limitations must be followed. This product must not be mixed with any product that prohibits 
such mixing. Tank mixtures or application of other products referenced on this label are 
permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are registered. 
Compatibility 
PREEMPTOR
® Fungicide is physically compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, herbicide 
and foliar nutrient products. However, the physical compatibility of PREEMPTOR® Fungicide 
with tank mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical compatibility of 
PREEMPTOR® Fungicide with other products, use a jar test, as described in the next 
paragraph. 
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. 
Crop Tolerance/Phytoxocity 
PREEMPTOR
® Fungicide may show some phytotoxicity on wheat when mixed with Huskie ®, 
Huskie Complete, Axial® XL, or any bromoxynil based product.
The crop safety of other tank mixes including additives and other pesticides on all crops has not 
been tested. Before applying any tank mixture not specifically recommended on this label, 
confirm the safety of the tank mixture to the target crop. To test for crop safety, apply

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 
Sensitive Areas 
This pesticide must only be applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., 
residential areas, bodies of water, known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-
target crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). 
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 
many equipment-and-weather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The 
applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making 
decisions. 
The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift 
movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements do not apply 
to forestry applications, public health uses or to applications using dry formulation. 
1. The distance of the outer most nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the 
wingspan or rotor. 
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air stream and never be pointed 
downwards more than 45 degrees. 
Comply with all state regulations. The applicator must be familiar with and take into account the 
information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. 
AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY 
This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. 
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 sections). 
Controlling Droplet Size 
x Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles 
with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. 
x Pressure - Do not exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s recommended pressures. For many 
nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow rates are needed, 
use higher flow rate nozzles instead of increasing pressure. 
x Number of nozzles - Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage. 
x 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. 
x 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 Length 
For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or 
rotor length may further reduce drift without reducing swath width.

Preemptor Fungicide [Optional text appears in bra ckets] 
EPA Reg. No. 279- 
 
Page 10 of 17
Application Height 
Applications must not be made at a height greater than 10 feet above the top of the target 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 downwind. Therefore, 
on the up and downwind edges of the field, the applicator should 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.). 
 
Wind 
Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 to 10 mph. However, many factors, including 
droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed. Application must 
be avoided below 2 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 
Applications must not occur 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 conditions) 
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good 
vertical air mixing.
