PRODUCT INFORMATION
SPÄRRA™ is a systemic fungicide-bactericide used for control of downy mildew, powdery mildew, Pythium,
Phytophthora and many other diseases of agricultural and greenhouse crops, turf and ornamentals, and
conifers and other trees. It may also be used as a post-harvest treatment on labeled crops. This product may
be applied up to the day of harvest (0-day PHI).
Apply SPÄRRA by various application methods, including foliar sprays, trunk injection, soil drench, soil incorporation
and bare root dip. For foliar sprays, apply SPÄRRA with sufficient water for adequate coverage of foliage, according
to crop and growth stage. To ensure good coverage, spray to wet, but not to the point of runoff.
COMPATIBILITY
Mixing SPÄRRA with certain surfactants, foliar fertilizers or other pesticides may cause crop injury. SPÄRRA is
a slightly acidic buffer solution. Avoid mixing SPÄRRA with strongly acidic or alkaline materials. Do not tank
mix without first testing the mixtures compatibility nor apply it without assessing its safety to the crop
(phytotoxicity). It is not possible to test all material combinations and environmental tank mix combinations.
Always conduct a test with the intended tank mix on a small area prior to any large-scale applications. To
determine if a combination is phytotoxic to a specific crop, spray a small area of foliage and fruit and then
evaluate 3-7 days later for visual symptoms.
Test the compatibility of spray adjuvants (i.e., stickers, spreaders, wetting agents) with SPÄRRA before use.
Do not use acidifying type compatibility agents.
To determine the compatibility of SPÄRRA with other products, use a jar compatibility test. Add the correct
proportions of each product and the appropriate quantity of water to clean container, thoroughly mix, then
let stand for 3-5 minutes. If the mixture remains in solution or can be remixed readily, the products are
considered compatible.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
USE PRECAUTIONS
• Make applications prior to disease development in conjunction with good cultural management
practices. Use the higher rate when disease pressure is severe.
• Use rates and frequency are designed to prevent plant injury. If more frequent applications are
necessary for disease control, consult a crop expert and follow their recommendations.
• Label rates are written for conventional application equipment. For LV/ULV equipment, use the
specified per acre rate of SPÄRRA and adjust amount of water to equipment needs. Always conduct a
phytotoxicity test on a small area before applying to a large area to assess any potential risk to plants.
• To avoid undesirable copper phytotoxicity, do not apply foliarly to plants treated with copper-based
compounds at less than 20-day intervals unless instructed to do so by your agronomist.
USE RESTRICTIONS
• Do not exceed the highest rate per application.
• Do not apply at less than 3-day intervals.
• Do not apply to plants that are dormant or heat or moisture stressed.
• Do not apply when conditions favor wet tissue for prolonged periods (>4 hours).
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Remove scale, pesticide residues and other foreign matter from the pesticide supply tank and entire
injection system. Flush with clean water. Fill the spray tank with 1/2 of the required volume of water. Add
the specified amount of SPÄRRA slowly to the tank and start mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Follow with
any adjuvants, other pesticides, nutrients, etc., then add the remaining volume of water. Maintain agitation
in the supply tank during mixing and application to ensure uniformity of the solution. Observe all directions,
precautions, and limitations on the labels of all products used in the tank mix.
CHEMIGATION
Apply this product only through the following types of systems: sprinkler including center pivot, lateral
move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, hand move; or drip (trickle). 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.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 through the irrigation system and do not
irrigate the same treated area during the irrigation cycle. In all cases, provide thorough coverage of the crop.
Complete the pesticide injection in sufficient time to allow the pesticide to be flushed through all lines and
nozzles before the irrigation system is shut down.
Set sprinkler to deliver 0.1 to 0.25 inch of water per acre. Start sprinkler and uniformly inject the solution of
SPÄRRA into the irrigation water line to deliver the desired rate per acre. Excessive water to the point of
runoff may reduce efficacy. Inject the solution with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead
5 of 24
of a right angle turn to ensure adequate mixing. For other questions about calibration, contact State
Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.
For sprinkler irrigation systems, wait a minimum of 12 hours after application before starting subsequent
irrigation. This interval allows foliage to dry for improved efficacy.
CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO 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 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 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 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.
• Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR APPLICATIONS THROUGH SPRINKLER AND DRIP 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 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 DRIFT MANAGEMENT
SPRAY DRIFT DIRECTIONS
Aerial Applications:
• Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the vegetative canopy unless a greater
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators are required to use a coarse or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• The boom length must not exceed 65% of the wingspan for airplanes or 75% of the rotor blade
diameter for helicopters.
• Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
• Nozzles must be oriented, so the spray is directed toward the back of the aircraft.
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 miles per hour at the application site.
• Do not apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Boom Applications:
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above
the ground or crop canopy. For all other ground applications, the nozzle must be no more than 3
feet from the target vegetation.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 10 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.
GENERAL HYDROPONIC APPLICATION
Not for Use in California
For use only with plants grown in recirculating (i.e., closed systems) hydroponic systems to aid in the control
of pathogens. Do not remove reservoir water prior to harvest. Apply solid residue as fertilizer only at
SPÄRRA concentrations at, or below, those approved on this label for direct application.
DISEASE APPLICATION METHOD RATE / INSTRUCTIONS
General Root Rots
Pythium
Phytophthora
Chemigation Add 1-2 liters per 20,000 liters nutrient solution. Repeat
every 4-6 weeks in summer and every 8 weeks in winter.
Depending on crop load and the water quality, the
application time interval may be reduced.
7 of 24
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. 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. Safety considerations should be made appropriately with respect to application type, aircraft
type, load size and weight, air speed, target or crop, size of application site, obstac les surrounding or within
the application site, density altitude, temperature, and terrain.
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.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, SPÄRRA contains mono- and dipotassium salts of phosphorous acid making it a
Group P07 fungicide-bactericide. The Mode of Action for “P” fungicides is described as host plant defense
induction. Any fungal and/or bacterial population may contain individuals naturally resistant to SPÄRRA and
other Group P07 fungicides-bactericides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these
fungicides-bactericides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies
should be followed. It should be noted that there are few resistance cases reported in few pathog ens,
therefore, the risk of developing resistance is considered low.
8 of 24
To delay fungicide-bactericide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of SPÄRRA or other Group P07 fungicides within a growing season sequence with
different groups that control the same pathogens.
• 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.
• 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- bactericide
applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance.
• Monitor treated fungal and/or bacterial populations for resistance development.
• Contract your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticid e
resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance cont act Wilbur-Ellis Company LLC at (720)
306-6340. You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report
resistance.
