Page 4 of 24 APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS Equus® DF, a dry flowable product containing chlorothalonil, is used as a spray for the control of many important plant diseases. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT To avoid the development of tolerant or resistant strains of fungi, always tank mix Equus DF with a fungicide of different chemistry, and/or alternate a fungicide of different chemistry with Equus DF at each application. If after using Equus DF as directed and the treatment is not effective, a tolerant or resistant strain of fungi may be present. Discontinue the use of Equ us DF for at least one season. Equus DF is effective for use in programs that attempt to minimize disease resistance to fungicides. Equus DF has a multi-site mode of action and can be used to delay or prevent the development of resistance to single-site fungicides. Consult with your Federal or State Cooperative Extension Service representatives fo r guidance on the proper use of Equus DF in programs that seek to minimize the occurrence of disease resistance to other fungicides. PRODUCT PRECAUTIONS Equus DF can be used effectively in dilute or concentrate sprays. Thorough uniform coverage is essential for disease control. Do not combine Equus DF in a spray tank with pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers unless prior use has shown the combination to be physically compatible, effective, and noninjurious under conditions of use. Do not combine Equus DF with DiPel® 4L, Foil®, Triton® AG-98, Triton® B-1956, and Latron ® B-1956® as phytotoxicity can result from the combination when applied to crops listed on this label. Add the required amount of Equus DF slowly into the spray tank during filling. With concentrate sprays, premix the required amount of Equus DF in a clean container and add to the spray tank as it is being filled. Keep agitator running when filling spray tank and during spray operations. Dosage rates on this label indicate lbs of Equus DF per acre unless specified otherwise. Under conditions favoring disease development, use the highest rate specified and shortest application interval. APPLICATION PRECAUTIONS AND REQUIREMENTS This product must not be applied within 150 feet for aerial and air-blast applications or 25 feet for ground applications of marine/estuarine water bodies unless there is an untreated buffer area of that width between the area to be treated and the water body. SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT 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 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 usi ng dry formulations.
- The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
- Excluding helicopters, nozzles must always point backward parallel with the airstream and never be pointed downward more than 45 degrees. Where states have more stringent regulations, they must be observed. The applicator must be familiar with and take into account the information covered in the Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information: 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 th e 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 conditions (see WIND, TEMPERATURE). 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.
Page 5 of 24 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 potential. BOOM HEIGHT Setting the boom at the lowest labeled height (if specified) which provides uniform coverage reduces the exposure of droplets to evaporation and wind. For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce. BOOM LENGTH For some use patterns, reducing the effective boom length to less than 3/4 of the wingspan or rotor length can further reduce drift without reducing swath width. APPLICATION HEIGHT Application should not be made at a height greater than 10 ft 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.
Page 6 of 24 SWATH ADJUSTMENT When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. Therefore, on the upwind and downwind edges of the field, the application 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.). 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 should 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 should not occur during a temperature inversion becaus e 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. 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 threatened or endangered species, nontarget crops) is minimal (e.g., when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas). SHIELDED SPRAYERS Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce the effects of wind; however, it is the responsibility of the applicator to verify that the shields are preventing drift and not interfering with uniform deposition of the product. AIR-ASSISTED (AIR-BLAST) FIELD CROP SPRAYERS Air-assisted field crop sprayers carry droplets to the target via a downward directed air stream. Some can reduce the potentia l for drift but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high drift potential can result. It is t he responsibility of the applicator to determine that a sprayer is suitable for the intended application, is configured properly, and that drift is not occurring. NOTE: Air-assisted field sprayers can affect product performance by affecting spray coverage and canopy penetration. AIR-ASSISTED (AIR-BLAST) TREE AND VINE SPRAYERS Air-assisted tree and vine sprayers carry droplets into the cano py of trees and vines via a radially or laterally directed air stream. In addition to the general drift management principles already described, the following specific practices will furthe r reduce the potential for drift: x Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy. x Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy. x Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage. x Do not allow spray to go beyond the edge of the cultivated area. Spray the outside row only from outside the planting. CHEMIGATION Apply this product only through center pivot, motorized lateral move, traveling gun, solid set, and portable (wheel move, side roll, end tow, or hand move) irrigations system(s). Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Us e only on crops specifically designated in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform distribution of treate d water. If you have questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service Specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and res ponsible for its operation or under the supervision of the responsible person shall shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Page 7 of 24 Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems:
- 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, backflow 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 inte rlock 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.
- Always inject Equus DF into irrigation water after it discharges from the irrigation pump and after it passes through the check valve. Never inject pesticides on the intake line on the suction side of the pump.
- Spray mixture in the chemical supply tank must be agitated at all times; otherwise settling and uneven application can occur.
- Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Specific Instructions for Sprinkler Irrigation Systems: Equus DF can be used through two basic types of sprinkler irrigation systems as outlined in Sections A and B. Determine which type of system is in place; then refer to the appropriate directions provided for each type. A. Center Pivot, Motorized Lateral Move, and Traveling Gun Irrigation Equipment For injection of pesticides, these continuously moving systems must use a positive displacement injection pump of either diaphragm or piston type, constructed of materials that are com patible with pesticides, capable of being fitted with a system interlock, and capable of injection at pressures approximately two to three times those encountered within the irrigation water line. Venturi application units cannot be used on these systems. Fill chemical supply tank of injection equipment with water. Operate system for one complete revolution or run across the field, measuring time required, amount of water injected, and acreage covered. Thoroughly mix specified amount of Equus DF for acreage to be covered into same amount of water used during calibration and inject into system continuously for one revolution or run. Mixture in the chemical supply tank must be continuously agitated during the injection run. Shut off inject ion equipment after one revolution or run but continue to operate irrigation system until Equus DF has been cleared from last sprinkler head. B. Solid Set and Portable (Wheel Move, Side Roll, End Tow, or Hand Move) Irrigation Equipment With stationary systems, an effectively designed in-line venturi a pplicator unit is preferred which is constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides; however, a positive-displacement pump can also be used. Determine acreage covered by sprinkler. Fill tank of injection equipment with water and adjust flow to use contents over a 30- to 45-minute period. Mix desired amount of Equus DF for acreage to be covered with water so that the total mixture of Equus DF plus water in the injection tank is equal to the quantity of water used during calibration, and operate entire system at normal pressures specified by the manufacturer of injection equipment used for amount of time established during calibration. No agitation should be required. Equus DF can be injected at the beginning or end of the irrigation cycle or as a separate application. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed and continue to operate irrigation system until Equus DF has been cleared from last sprinkler head. Do not use on greenhouse grown crops. CROP APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS - FIELD CROPS AS A SPRAY (Ground or Aerial Equipment) : Apply Equus DF at the rate shown; use sufficient water to provide thorough coverage. Gallonage will vary with crop and amount of plant growth. Spray volume usually will range between 20 to 150 gallons per acre (200 to 1,400 liters per hectare) for dilute sprays and 5 to 10 gallons per acre (50 to 100 liters per hectare ) for concentrate ground sprays and aircraft applications. Both ground and aircraft methods of application are suggested unless specific directions are given for a crop. Do not apply through sprinkler irrigation systems unless specific directions are giv en for a crop. See the following instructions for application and calibration.

ORNAMENTAL PLANTS Do not use on home lawns and turf sites associated with apartment buildings, daycare centers, playgrounds, playfields, recreational park athletic fields located on or next to schools (i.e., elementary, middle, and high schools), campgrounds, churches, and theme parks. Equus DF may be used on ornamental plants grown in the field, nurseries, or greenhouses. Ornamentals grown in nurseries, greenhouses: Apply Equus DF at the rates given in the tables below. Apply in a spray to run off when conditions are favorable for disease development. Repeat applications at 7 to 14 day intervals until conditions are no longer favorable. During periods when conditions favor severe disease incidence, cloudy or wet weather, apply Equus DF at 7 day intervals. Apply Equus DF to plants when both foliage and flowers are dry or nearly dry. Do not use mistblowers or high pressure spray equipment when making applications of Equus DF in greenhouses. Ornamentals grown in the field: For aerial application to field-planted ornamentals, use a minimum rate of 10 gallons of spray per acre during application. For field-grown ornamentals excluding roses and pachysandra, apply 1.4 lbs per 100 gallons of water unless other directions are given in the tables below. No more than 44 lbs per acre of Equus DF can be applied to field-grown ornamentals per year. Apply Equus to plants when both foliage and flowers are dry or nearly dry. For field-grown roses, apply 1 lb per 100 gallons of water of Equus DF. For field-planted pachysandra, apply 2.5 lbs per 100 gallons of water of Equus DF. Do not combine Equus DF in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers unless prior use has shown the combination to be physically compatible, effective, and noninjurious under your conditions of use. Use Equus DF for control of fungal diseases referred to by numbers in parentheses following each ornamental. Ornamentals listed on this label have been tested and found to tolerate applications of Equus DF at the specified rates. Plant sensitivitie s have been found to be acceptable in specific genera and species listed on this label; however, phytotoxicity may occur. Due to the large number of species, widely varying growth conditions, and varieties of ornamentals and nursery plants, it is impossible to test every one for sensitivity. Neither the manufacturer no r seller has determined whether or not Equus DF can be used safely prior to commercial use. Test for possible phytotoxic responses using specified rates on ornamental plants on a small area prior to commercial treatments and observe for 7 to 10 days for symptoms of phytotoxicity. Applications made during bloom can damage flowers and/or fruits. NOTE: Fruits and other treated foliage must not be eaten or fed to livestock. Diseases Controlled by Equus DF:
