APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Equus 500 ZN, a flowable product containing chlorothalonil, is recommended for use as a spray for the control of
many important plant diseases.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
To avoid the development of tolerant or resistant strains of fungi, Equus 500 ZN should always be tank mixed with
a fungicide of different chemistry, and/or a fungicide of different chemistry should be alternated with Equus 500
ZN at each application. If after using Equus 500 ZN as recommended and the treatment is not effective, a tolerant
or resistant strain of fungi may be present. Discontinue the use of Equus 500 ZN for at least one season.
Equus 500 ZN is effective for use in programs that attempt to minimize disease resistance to fungicides. Equus
500 ZN has a multi-site mode of action and may be used to delay or prevent the development of resistance to
single-site fungicides. Consult with your Federal or State Cooperative Extension Service representatives for
guidance on the proper use of Equus 500 ZN in programs that seek to minimize the occurrence of disease
resistance to other fungicides.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Equus 500 ZN can be used effectively in dilute or concentrate sprays. Thorough, uniform coverage is essential
for disease control.
Do not combine Equus 500 ZN in a 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. Do
not combine Equus 500 ZN with DiPel 4L, Foil®, Triton AG-98, Triton B-1956, or Latron B-1956 as phytotoxicity
may result from the combination when applied to crops listed on this label.
Note: Prior to pouring, slowly invert container several times to assure uniform mixture.
Page 3 of 20
The required amount of Equus 500 ZN should be added slowly into the spray tank during filling. With concentrate
sprays, premix the required amount of Equus 500 ZN 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 pints of Equus 500 ZN per acre, unless specified otherwise. Under conditions
favoring disease development, the high rate specified and shortest application interval should be used.
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Makhteshim Agan of North America, Inc. suggests the use of a
Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant.
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 using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom must not exceed 3A 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 should be observed. The applicator should 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 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 conditions (see Wind,
Temperature).
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE—General Techniques
• Volume-Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated
flows produce larger droplets.
• 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.
CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE—Aircraft
• Number of nozzles-Use the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform coverage.
• 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.
• 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 3A of the wingspan or rotor length may
further reduce drift without reducing swath width.
Page 4 of 20
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.
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 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.
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 may reduce
the potential for drift, but if a sprayer is unsuitable for the application and/or set up improperly, high drift potential
can result. It is the 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 canopy 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 further reduce the potential for drift:
• Adjust deflectors and aiming devices so that spray is only directed into the canopy.
• Block off upward pointed nozzles when there is no overhanging canopy
• Use only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage.
• 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) irrigation system(s). Do not apply this product through any other type of
irrigation system. Use only on crops specifically designated in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
Page 5 of 20
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.
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.
Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems:
1. Public water system means a system for the provision to the public of piped water from 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 interlock 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 500 ZN 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 may occur.
9. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Specific Instructions for Sprinkler Irrigation Systems:
Equus 500 ZN may 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 compatible with pesticides and 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
recommended amount of Equus 500 ZN 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 injection equipment after one revolution or run, but
continue to operate irrigation system until Equus 500 ZN 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 applicator 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 500 ZN for acreage to be covered with
water so that the total mixture of Equus 500 ZN plus water in the injection tank is equal to the quantity of water
used during calibration, and operate entire system at normal pressures recommended by the manufacturer of
Page 6 of 20
r
injection equipment used for amount of time established during calibration. No agitation should be required.
Equus 500 ZN 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 500 ZN has
been cleared from last sprinkler head.
Do not use on greenhouse grown crops.
CROP RECOMMENDATIONS
FIELD AND ROW CROPS
AS A SPRAY (Ground or Aerial Equipment)-Apply Equus 500 ZN at the rate shown; use sufficient water to
provide thorough coverage. Dosage rates on this label indicate pints of Equus 500ZN per acre, unless otherwise
stated. The high rate specified and shortest application interval should be used under conditions favoring disease

Apply in sufficient water to obtain complete
coverage, using at least 5 gallons of water
per acre for aerial application. Use the
three application program in areas having a
history of moderate to severe disease
intensity. The minimum retreatment interval
is 14 days. Equus 500 ZN may be applied
through sprinkler irrigation equipment.
Follow application and calibration direction
preceding this section. Do not apply within
6 weeks of harvest. Do not feed hay or
threshings from treated fields to livestock.
Two application program: For determinate
varieties, make the first application at early
pod set (R3 stage, when the majority of
pods are 1/8 to 3/8 inches in length) and the
second at beginning of seed formation (R5).
For indeterminate varieties, make the first
application when largest pods are 1 to 1 .25
inches in length. Make the second
application 14 days later.
Three application program: For
determinate varieties, make the first
application at the beginning of flowering
(R1), the second at early pod set (R3), and
the third at beginning of seed formation
(R5). For the indeterminate varieties, make
the first application one week after first
flowering and continue applications at 14
day intervals.
Apply in 10 to 20 gallons of water per acre,
as a band treatment, directing spray to
provide coverage of entire plant. Make the
first application at time of emergence of the
second trifoliate leaves (V2). If conditions
favor stem canker disease, make a second
and third application. Make all applications
at 14 day intervals.
Apply in sufficient water to obtain adequate
coverage. Begin applications when dew or
rain occurs and disease threatens. Apply
every 7 to 10 days for foliage diseases. For
fruit diseases, begin at fruit set and apply
every 7 to 14 days. Use the highest rate
and shortest interval when disease is
severe. Equus 500 ZN may be applied the
day of harvest. Equus 500 ZN may be
applied through sprinkler irrigation
equipment (solid set or portable wheel
move systems only). See calibration
directions preceding this section.
TREE AND ORCHARD CROPS— APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Apply Equus 500 ZN 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 generally give better coverage of the tree canopy. If application with
ground equipment is not feasible, Equus 500 ZN may be applied with aircraft using at least 20 gallons of spray per acre. When concentrate
sprays are used or when treating non-bearing or immature trees, the lower rate of Equus 500 ZN listed may be used. Both ground and aircraft
methods of application are recommended unless specific directions are given for a crop. Application through sprinkler irrigation systems is not
recommended 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 recommended as gallons of spray per acre:
CROP SPRAY VOLUME (Gallons per Acre)
Almonds 20 (concentrate) to 300 (full dilute)
Filberts (Hazelnuts) (Oregon only) 20 (concentrate) to 300 (full dilute)

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
For blossom blight, begin application at
popcorn (pink bud) and follow with an
application at full bloom. If weather is still
conducive for disease development,
another application may be made at petal
fall.
For control of shothole, make an
application in the autumn at leaf fall. In
the spring, make the first application at
budbreak, followed by an application at
shuck split to control nut infections and to
control scab.
Do not apply within 150 days of harvest.
Begin applications at leaf bud break and
repeat applications at 2 to 4 week
intervals. Do not apply within a week
before or after an oil application or a
tank-mix containing oil-based pesticides.
Do not apply within 120 days before
harvest.
For best control of both diseases, apply
at leaf fall in late autumn, using sufficient
water and proper sprayer calibration to
obtain uniform coverage. When
conditions favor high disease levels, use
the high rate of application and apply
once or twice more in mid-to-late winter
before budswell. If the leaf fall
application is not practical, application of
Equus 500 ZN for control of leaf curl may
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 500 ZN may 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 500 ZN may be
applied the day of harvest.
In addition to the bloom application listed
above, make one application at shuck
split. Do not apply Equus 500 ZN 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 foliage
within 7 days after fruit is removed. In
orchards with a history of high leaf spot
incidence, make a second application 10
to 14 days later.
Make applications at a minimum of 10
day intervals.

APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
The minimum retreatment interval for established trees is 21
days. The minimum retreatment in nursery beds is 7 days.
Single-application technique: In Christmas tree plantations,
make one application in the spring when new shoot growth
is 1/4 to 2 inches in length.
Make the first application in spring when new shoot growth
is !4 to 2 inches in length. Make additional applications at 4
week intervals until conditions no longer favor disease
rate specified on a 4 week schedule.
Apply in early spring prior to budbreak. Repeat applications
at approximately 6 to 8 week intervals, until spore release
ceases in late fall. Apply monthly during periods of frequent
rainfall, and where Lophodermium infections occur during
dormancy (Pacific Northwest). During drought periods,
applications may be suspended, then resumed upon next
occurrence of needle wetness.
Apply at budbreak and repeat at 3 to 4 week intervals until
needles are fully elongated and conditions no longer favor
disease development. In plantations of mixed provenance,
or when irregular budbreak occurs, apply weekly until all
trees have broken bud, then every 3 to 4 weeks as specified
above. In nursery beds, use the high rate on a 3 week
schedule.
Begin applications in nursery beds when seedlings are 4
inches tall and when cool, moist conditions favor disease
development. Make additional applications at 7 to 14 day
intervals as long as disease favorable conditions persist.
Begin applications when 10% of buds have broken and
twice thereafter at 7 to 1 0 day intervals.
•Volumetric rates to be used only with full dilute spray volume specified on this label for tree and orchard crops.
SPECIFIC USE RESTRICTIONS:
Do hot use on forests.
MUSHROOMS: Verticillium Brown Spot and Dry Bubble - Apply 4.0-8.0 fl. oz. of Equus 500 ZN per 1,000 sq. ft. of mushroom bed. Apply as a
drench to the mushroom bed surface in at least 12.5 gallons of water per 1,000 sq. ft. of mushroom bed. Make two applications. Apply the high
rate (8.0 fl. oz.) of Equus 500 ZN in the first application and the low rate (4.0 fl. oz.) of Equus 500 ZN in the second application. The first
application should be made within two days of top-dressing the spawn-colonized mushroom compost with a casing layer. The second
application should be made at pinning. Do not apply within 5 days of first harvest. Make no more than two applications per cropping cycle. Do
not apply more than 12.0 fl. oz. of Equus 500 ZN per cropping cycle.

oz. per 1000 sq ft may be applied to tees, and a maximum seasonal amount of 51.4 oz. per 1000 sq ft. of Equus 500 ZN may be applied to
greens.
Algae: For prevention of algae on turfgrasses, apply Equus 500 ZN at the rate of 3 to 7.9 fl. oz. per 1000 sq. ft. on a 7 to 14 day schedule.
When algae is well established, every attempt should be made to dry out the afflicted area. Once dry, spiking or verticutting should be done to
enhance turfgrass recovery in conjunction with an Equus 500 ZN applications. Several applications may be necessary for turfgrass recovery.
Only a preventative spray program with Equus 500 ZN will prevent a recurrence of the algae when environmental conditions are favorable for
algal growth. A maximum seasonal limit of 18.2 oz. per 1000 sq. ft. may be applied to ornamental turf, no more than 36.5 oz. per 1000 sq. ft.
may be applied to tees, and a maximum seasonal amount of 51.4 oz. per 1000 sq. ft. of Equus 500 ZN may be applied to greens.
GRASS: SODFARMS
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.
Apply Equus 500 ZN in 30 to 40 gallons of water per acre. Begin applications when conditions favor disease development and repeat
applications as long as these conditions persist using the rates recommended in the following table.
Under severe disease conditions, a single application of 21.6 pints per acre.may be made with a 7 day retreatment interval. Subsequent
applications must follow the rates and retreatment intervals outlined in the following table for the remainder of the year.
Do not mow or water after treatment until spray deposited on grass is thoroughly dry. Equus 500 ZN should always be used in conjunction
with good turf management practices.
Sodfarm turf treated with chlorothalonil prior to harvest must be mechanically cut, rolled, and harvested. Follow all provisions outlined in the
Agricultural Use Requirements box.

*Do not use for sodfarms at application rates greater than 13 Ibs. a.i. (25 pints of Equus 500 ZN) per acre per year.
ORNAMENTAL PLANTS
Equus 500 ZN may be used on ornamental plants grown in the field, nurseries, or greenhouses, and for spot treatment of ornamental plants
growing in landscapes. Due to the large number of species and varieties of ornamental and nursery plants, and the widely varying growing
conditions, it is impossible to test every variety for sensitivity to Equus 500 ZN. Prior to commercial use, apply the recommended rates to a
small area of plants in question, i.e. bedding plants, foliage, etc., and observe for 7 to 10 days prior to treatment of a commercial crop.
Field grown ornamentals: No more than 69.1 pints per acre of Equus 500 ZN may be applied to field-grown ornamentals per year.
For aerial application to field-planted ornamentals, a minimum rate of 10 gallons of spray per acre should be used during application: Equus
500 ZN should be applied to plants when both foliage and flowers are dry or nearly dry. For field-grown roses, apply 2 pints of Equus 500 ZN
per acre for a single application. For field-planted pachysandra, apply 5.9 pints of Equus 500 ZN per acre for a single application.
Ornamentals grown in nurseries, greenhouses: Do not use mistblowers or high pressure spray equipment when making applications of
Equus 500 ZN in greenhouses. Apply Equus 500 ZN at the rate of 1.9 pints per 100 gallons of water unless other directions are given in the
tables below. Apply in a spray until foliage run-off occurs 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, generally cloudy or
wet weather, apply Equus 500 ZN at 7 day intervals. Equus 500 ZN should be applied to plants when both foliage and flowers are dry or
nearly dry.
Do not combine Equus 500 ZN 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.
Spot treatment of ornamental plants growing in landscapes: Apply Equus 500 ZN at the rate of 1.9 teaspoons per 2 gallons of water.
Apply in a spray until foliage run-off occurs 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, generally cloudy or wet
weather, apply Equus 500 ZN at 7 day intervals. Equus 500 ZN should be applied to plants when both foliage and flowers are dry or nearly
dry.

Use of Equus 500 ZN is recommended 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 500 ZN at the recommended rates. The user
should test for possible phytotoxic responses, using recommended 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 may damage flowers and/or fruits. NOTE: Fruits
and other treated foliage must not be eaten or fed to livestock.
