||
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.
|
||
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
|
||
2. 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.
|
||
|

|
||
Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems:
|
||
1. 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.
|
||
2. 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.
|
||
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid
|
||
back toward the injection pump.
|
||
4. 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.
|
||
5. 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.
|
||
6. 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.
|
||
7. 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.
|
||
8. Spray mixture in the chemical supply tank must be agitated at all times; otherwise settling and uneven application can
|
||
occur.

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.

TREE AND ORCHARD CROPS—APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Apply Equus DF in sufficient water and with proper calibration to obtain uniform coverage of tree canopy. Application with
|
||
ground equipment is preferable to aerial application because ground applications usually give better coverage of the tree
|
||
canopy. If application with ground equipment is not feasible, Equus DF can be applied with aircraft using at least 20 gallons of
|
||
spray per acre. When concentrate sprays are used or when treating nonbearing or immature trees, the lower rate of Equus
|
||
DF listed can be used. 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 given for a crop. See the following
|
||
instructions for application and calibration.
|
||
Do not allow livestock to graze treated areas. The following spray volumes are specified as gallons of spray per acre:

leaf curl can be made at any time prior
|
||
to budswell the following spring.
|
||
Where Coryneum blight (shothole)
|

occurs, also apply at budbreak to
|
||
protect newly emerging leaves and at
|

shuck split to prevent fruit infections.
|
||
Make applications at a minimum of 10
|
||
day intervals. Equus DF can be applied
|
||
the day of harvest.
|
||
Make one application at popcorn (pink,
|

red, or early white bud) and a second
|
||
application at full bloom. If weather
|
||
conditions favor disease development,
|
||
make an additional application at petal
|
||
fall. Make applications at a minimum of
|
||
10 day intervals. Equus DF can be
|
||
applied the day of harvest.
|
||
In addition to the bloom application
|
||
listed above, make one application at
|
||
shuck split. Do not apply Equus DF
|
||
after shuck split and before harvest. If
|
||
additional disease control is needed
|
||
before harvest, use another registered
|
||
fungicide.
|
||
For control of cherry leaf spot after
|
||
harvest, make one application to
|
||
|
||
Page 17 of 24
|
||
foliage within 7 days after fruit is
|
||
removed. In orchards with a history of
|

2A single maximum application of 13.6 lbs per acre with a 14 day retreatment interval can be made for control of extreme
|
||
disease conditions in a year.
|
||
Gray Snow Mold caused by Typhula spp.:
|
||
Apply in sufficient water to obtain adequate spray coverage (90 to 450 gallons per acre). Apply 8.8 lbs per acre of turf areas.
|
||
Application must be made before snow cover in autumn. Use the high single maximum application rate of 13.6 lbs per acre if
|
||
turf layer remains frozen prior to snow cover. If snow cover i s intermittent or lacking during t he winter, reapply Equus DF at
|
||
8.8 lbs per acre of turf at monthly intervals until gray snow mold conditions no longer prevail. In areas where pink snow mold
|
||
(Gerlachia or Fusarium patch) is likely to occur, apply a single application of 8.8 lbs per acre of Equus DF in combination wit h
|
||
products containing iprodione at 88.4 ounces active ingredient per acre of turf area. The maximum seasonal application limits
|
||
|
||
Page 20 of 24
|
||
are 88.4 lbs per acre for greens, 63 lbs per acre for tees, and 31.5 lbs per acre for turf and fairways. Read and observe all
|
||
label directions for products containing these active ingredients.
|
||
Fusarium (Gerlachia) Patch:
|
||
For control of Fusarium patch only in areas where snow cover is intermittent or lacking during the winter, apply 8.8 lbs per acre
|
||
of Equus DF. Make an initial application of 13.6 lbs per acre in late autumn and reapply applications of 8.8 lbs per acre at 2 1
|
||
to 28 day intervals until conditions favoring Fusarium patch no longer exist. The maximum seasonal application limits are 88.4
|
||
lbs per acre for greens, 63 lbs per acre for tees, and 31.5 lbs per acre for turf and fairways.
|
||
Algal Scum:
|
||
For prevention of algal scum on turfgrasses caused by cyanobacteria of the genus Lyngbia, apply Equus DF at the rate of 5 to
|
||
8.8 lbs per acre of turf on a 7 to 14 day schedule. When algal scum is well established, make every attempt to dry out the
|
||
afflicted area. Once dry, spiking or verticutting can be done to enhance turfgrass recovery in conjunction with an Equus DF
|
||
application at the rate of 13.6 lbs per acre with a 7 day retreatment at the 5 to 8.8 lbs per acre rate. Several applications o f
|
||
Equus DF at the high 8.8 lbs per acre rate may be necessary for turfgrass recovery. Only a preventative spray program with
|
||
Equus DF will prevent a recurrence of the algae when environmental conditions are favorable for algal growth. The maximum
|
||
seasonal application limits are 88.4 lbs per acre for greens, 63 lbs per acre for tees, and 31.5 lbs per acre for turf and fairways.
|
||
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.
