Precautionary Statements
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
WARNING. May be fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes, or clothing. Causes moderate eye irritation.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or
using the toilet. Wear long sleeved shirt and long pants,
socks, shoes, waterproof gloves, and protective eyewear.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long sleeved shirt and long pants
• Protective eyewear
• Shoes plus socks
• Waterproof gloves
Follow the manufacturers instructions for cleaning and
maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables
exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE
separately from other laundry.
Engineering Controls Statement
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air-
craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the
Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural
pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in
the WPS.
Environmental Hazards
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray
in wind. This product has a potential for runoff for several
months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and
soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce
runoff that contains this product. A level, well-maintained
vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product
is applied and surface water features such as ponds,
streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contami-
nation of water from rainfall runoff. Runoff of this product
will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is
forecast to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control
practices will reduce this products contribution to surface
water contamination.
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Drift
and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in
water adjacent to treated areas.
DO NOT apply directly to water, areas where surface water
is present, or intertidal areas below the mean high water
mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of
equipment washwaters or rinsate.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum,
using tobacco, or using the toilet.
• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets
inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product.
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as
possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
clothing.
FIRST AID
If swallowed
• Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.
• DO NOT give any liquid to the person.
• DO NOT induce vomiting unless told to do so by a poison control center or doctor.
• DO NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If on skin or clothing
• Take off contaminated clothing.
• Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.
If in eyes
• Hold eyes open and rinse slowly and gently with water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove contact lenses, if present, after first 5 minutes; then continue rinsing eyes.

Product Information
This package contains Headline, an emulsifiable concen-
trate (EC). The active ingredient in Headline,
pyraclostrobin, is a member of the strobilurin class of
chemistry and is derived from a natural antifungal
substance. Preventive applications optimize disease con-
trol, resulting in improved plant health. The increase in plant
health comes from the combined effect of disease control
(including fungal diseases listed in Crop-specific directions),
improved growth efficiency and improved stress tolerance.
Overall increased plant health may result in an
improvement in crop growth and crop quality as well as
increased crop yields.
Information regarding the contents and levels of metals in
this product is available on the Internet at
http://www.aapfco.org/metals.htm.
To maximize disease control, apply Headline in a regularly
scheduled protective spray program and use in a rotation
program with other fungicides.
Because of its high specific activity, Headline has good
residual activity against target fungi.
Headline is not for use in greenhouse or transplant
production.
Mode of Action
Pyraclostrobin, the active ingredient of Headline, belongs
to the group of respiration inhibitors classified by the
U.S. EPA and Canada PMRA as Quinone Outside Inhibitors
(QoI) or target site of action Group 11 fungicides.
Resistance Management
Headline is effective against pathogens resistant to fungi-
cides with modes of action different from those of QoI
fungicides (target site Group 11), such as dicarboximides,
sterol inhibitors, benzimidazoles, or phenylamides.
Fungal isolates resistant to Group 11 fungicides, such as
pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, fluoxastrobin, trifloxystrobin,
and kresoxim-methyl, may eventually dominate the fungal
population if Group 11 fungicides are used predominantly
and repeatedly in the same field in successive years as the
primary method of control for the targeted pathogen
species. This may result in reduction of disease control by
Headline or other Group 11 fungicides.
DO NOT exceed the maximum annual use rate or the total
number of Headline applications per year and the maxi-
mum number of Headline applications stated in
Restrictions and Limitations - All Crops and Table 2.
Headline
® fungicide Crop-specific Requirements.
Follow the label instructions for use of Headline or other
target site of action Group 11 fungicides that have a similar
site of action on the same pathogens.
When using a Group 11 fungicide as a solo product, the
number of applications should be no more than 1/3 of the
total number of fungicide applications per year.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL (continued)
Container Handling (continued)
Refillable Container. Refill this container with Headline®
fungicide only. DO NOT reuse this container for any
other purpose. Triple rinsing the container before final dis-
posal is the responsibility of the person disposing of the
container. Cleaning before refilling is the responsibility of
the refiller.
Triple rinse as follows: To clean the container before
final disposal, empty the remaining contents from this
container into application equipment or mix tank. Fill the
container about 10% full with water. Agitate vigorously or
recirculate water with the pump for 2 minutes. Pour or
pump rinsate into application equipment or rinsate collec-
tion system. Repeat this rinsing procedure two more
times.
When this container is empty, replace the cap and seal all
openings that have been opened during use; return the
container to the point of purchase or to a designated
location. This container must only be refilled with
Headline. Prior to refilling, inspect carefully for damage
such as cracks, punctures, abrasions, worn-out threads
and closure devices. Check for leaks after refilling and
before transport. DO NOT transport if this container is
damaged or leaking. If the container is damaged, or leak-
ing, or obsolete and not returned to the point of purchase
or to a designated location, triple rinse emptied container
and offer for recycling, if available, or dispose of container
in compliance with state and local regulations.
4
In programs in which tank mixes or pre-mixes of a
Group 11 fungicide with a fungicide of another group are
utilized, the number of Group 11 fungicide (QoI)-containing
applications should be no more than 1/2 of the total num-
ber of fungicide applications per year.
In programs in which applications of Group 11 fungicides
are made with both solo products and mixtures, the num-
ber of Group 11 fungicide (Qol)-containing applications
should be no more than 1/2 of the total number of fungi-
cide applications per year.
In fungicide alternation programs of Group 11 (QoI)-
containing fungicides with non-Group 11 fungicides of dif-
ferent modes of action, the maximum number of sequential
applications stated in Restrictions and Limitations - All
Crops and Table 2. Headline
® fungicide Crop-specific
Requirements must be alternated with at least an equal
number of applications of a non-Group 11-containing fun-
gicide prior to using the Group 11 (QoI)-containing
fungicide again. For example, in cases where two sequen-
tial applications of a Group 11 (QoI)-containing fungicide
are made, this block of applications should be followed by
2 or more applications of a non-Group 11-containing fun-
gicide prior to using the Group 11 (QoI)-containing
fungicide again.
Resistance Management Advisory
The following instructions may be considered to delay the
development of fungicide resistance:
1. Tank mixtures - Use tank mixtures with effective fungi-
cides from different target-site-of-action groups that are
registered/permitted for the same use and that are effec-
tive against the pathogens of concern.
Use at least the minimum labeled rates of each fungicide
in the tank mix.
2. IPM - Headline should be integrated into an overall dis-
ease and pest management program. Cultural practices
known to reduce disease development should be
followed. Consult your local extension specialist, certified
crop advisor and/or BASF representative for additional
IPM strategies established for your area. Headline may
be used in agricultural extension advisory (disease fore-
casting) programs, which recommend application timing
based on environmental factors favorable for disease
development.
3. Monitoring - Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in
the disease management program against the targeted
pathogen and record other factors that may influence
fungicide performance and/or disease development. If a
Group 11 target-site fungicide, such as Headline,
appears to be less effective against a pathogen that it
previously controlled or suppressed, contact a BASF
representative, local extension specialist, or certified
crop advisor for further investigation.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Spraying equipment must be cleaned thoroughly before
and after applying this product, particularly if a product with
the potential to injure crops was used prior to Headline.
Application Instructions
Apply rates of Headline as instructed Table 2. Headline®
fungicide Crop-specific Requirements section of the
Headline container label. Apply Headline with ground
sprayer, aerial equipment or through sprinkler irrigation
equipment. Equipment should be checked frequently for
calibration.
Under low-level disease conditions, the minimum applica-
tion rates can be used while maximum application rates
and shortened spray schedules are recommended for
severe or threatening disease conditions.
Ground Application
Apply Headline in sufficient water to ensure thorough cov-
erage of foliage, blooms, and fruit. Refer to Additives and
Tank Mixing Information section for adjuvant or crop oil
restrictions for ground applications in corn. See Table 2.
Headline® fungicide Crop-specific Requirements for
in-furrow instructions.
Aerial Application
For aerial application in New York State, DO NOT
apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but
not limited to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams,
marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish
ponds).
Unless otherwise specified on this label, use no less than
5 gallons of spray solution per acre. For aerial application
to citrus orchards, use no less than 10 gallons of spray
solution per acre. DO NOT apply when conditions favor
drift from target area.
Aerial application to alfalfa, barley, corn, oats, rye,
soybeans, wheat and triticale
Aerial applications of Headline may be made to corn, soy-
beans, wheat and triticale in water volumes of 1 or more
gallons of spray solution per acre (gpa). Aerial applications
of Headline may be made to alfalfa, barley, oats and rye in
water volumes of 2 or more gallons of spray solution per
acre (gpa). The use of a crop oil or adjuvant may be used
to improve spray coverage (see Additives and Tank
Mixing Information section). Refer to the adjuvant prod-
uct label for specific use directions and restrictions.
For optimum results in cases of high disease pressure, use
a minimum spray volume of 4 gpa. Select spray nozzles,
pumping pressure, and sprayer height to provide medium-
to-fine spray droplets that penetrate throughout the crop
canopy. Spray calibration must be conducted to confirm
spray droplet sizes. Continue to monitor spray application
(including weather conditions) to assure proper droplet size
and canopy penetration.
5
Spray Drift Management
DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond area
intended for application. Conditions that may contribute to
drift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction,
spray nozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size,
temperature/humidity, etc. Contact your state extension
agent for spray drift prevention guidelines in your area. All
aerial and ground application equipment must be properly
maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibil-
ity of the applicator.
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related
factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applica-
tor and the grower are responsible for considering all these
factors when making decisions.
DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift
to unprotected persons, to food, forage, or other plantings
that might be damaged, or crops thereof rendered unfit for
sale, use or consumption can occur.
DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet
above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required
for aircraft safety.
The following drift management requirements must be fol-
lowed 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 3/4 the length of the wingspan or rotor.
2. 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.
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets. Use the largest droplet size consistent with
acceptable efficacy. 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).
Controlling Droplet Size:
• 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 manufacturers
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.
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz-
zles 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 recommended
practice. Significant deflection from the 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.
Wind
DO NOT apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Drift
potential is lowest when wind speed does not exceed
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. Local
terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should
be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect
spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evapora-
tion of spray droplets and, therefore, the likelihood of
increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of
low humidity and/or high temperatures. 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 inver-
sion 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. bodies of water or
nontarget crops) is minimal and when wind is blowing away
from the sensitive areas.

Directions For Use Through Sprinkler
Irrigation Systems
Sprayer Preparation
Chemical tank and injector system should be thoroughly
cleaned. Flush system with clean water.
Application Instructions
Apply Headline® fungicide at rates and timings as
required in this label.
Sprinkler Irrigation Applications Use Precautions
• Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation sys-
tems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side
(wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irri-
gation systems. DO NOT apply this product through any
other type of irrigation system.
• Add this product to the pesticide supply tank containing
sufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by the
injection equipment. In continuous moving systems,
inject this product/water mixture continuously, applying
the labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT exceed
1/2 inch (13,577 gallons) per acre. In stationary or non-
continuous moving systems, inject the product/water
mixture in the last 15 to 30 minutes of each set allowing
sufficient time for all of the required pesticide to be
applied by all the sprinkler heads and applying the
labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT apply when
wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for
treatment. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal
pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-
uniform distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage
of foliage is required for good control. Good agitation
should be maintained during the entire application period.
• If you have questions about calibration, you should con-
tact state extension service specialists, equipment
manufacturers or other experts.
• 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 backflow.
• 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 func-
tional, 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 with-
drawn 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 function-
al pressure switch that 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.
• Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all
lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. A
person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and
responsible for its operation, or under supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and
make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
• DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including green-
house systems) used for pesticide application to a public
water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety
devices for public water systems are in place.
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, back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equiv-
alent 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 intro-
duction. 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 function-
al, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function-
al, 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 sys-
tem 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 fit-
ted with a system interlock.
Additives and Tank Mixing Information
Headline can be tank mixed with most recommended
fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, biologi-
cal control products, adjuvants, and additives as specified
in Table 2. Headline
® fungicide Crop-specific
Requirements.
Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants
may improve the performance of Headline. However, all
7
varieties and cultivars have not been tested with possible
tank mix combinations. Local conditions can also influence
crop tolerance and may not match those under which
BASF has conducted testing. Physical incompatibility,
reduced disease control, or crop injury may result from
mixing Headline
® fungicide with other products.
Therefore, before using any tank mix (fungicides, insecti-
cides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, biological control
products, adjuvants and additives), test the combination on
a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a
phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of applica-
tion. Always follow the most restrictive label.
Adjuvant or Crop Oil Use Limitations on
Corn (ground and aerial applications)
Adjuvant crop damage can occur when an adjuvant or
crop oil is used after the V8 stage and before the VT stage
(the VT stage is defined as when the tassels last branch is
completely visible outside the whorl). If an adjuvant or crop
oil is used after the V8 stage and before the VT stage, the
grower and user are responsible for contacting the adju-
vant source (adjuvant distributor, retailer, or manufacturer)
for advice and confirmation that the adjuvant has been
tested and proven to be safe for application from V8 to VT
corn stage. Refer to adjuvant and/or crop oil labels for spe-
cific use directions and restrictions. Always follow the most
restrictive label.
Another fungicide or an insecticide may be included in the
tank mix if needed and labeled for use on corn. Refer to
the tank mix pesticide product labels for specific use direc-
tions and restrictions. Always follow the most restrictive
label.
Mixing Order
1. Water - Agitate a thoroughly clean sprayer tank three-
quarters full of clean water.
2. Agitation - Maintain constant agitation throughout mix-
ing and application.
3. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after
each component has been added.
4. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until
all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the
product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before
continuing.
5. Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables,
wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or
suspo-emulsions).
6. Water-soluble products.
7. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as Headline, or oil
concentrates when applicable).
8. Water-soluble additives (such as AMS or UAN when
applicable).
9. Remaining quantity of water.
Make sure that each component is thoroughly mixed and
suspended before adding tank mix partners. Maintain con-
stant agitation during application. See Table 2. Headline
®
fungicide Crop-specific Requirements for more details.
Restrictions and Limitations - All Crops
• DO NOT exceed the maximum product rate (fl ozs/A) per
year, the maximum rate per application, or the total num-
ber of applications of Headline per year as stated in
Table 1. Headline
® fungicide Restrictions and
Limitations Overview and Table 2. Headline®
fungicide Crop-specific Requirements. Preharvest
interval (PHI) restrictions are also included in these tables.
• DO NOT use Headline in greenhouse or transplant
production.
• For aerial application in New York State, DO NOT
apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as,
but not limited to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams,
marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish
ponds).
Crop Rotation Restriction
Crops listed on the Headline, Cabrio® EG fungicide and
Pristine® fungicide labels may be planted immediately
following the last application. For all other crops, DO NOT
plant sooner than 14 days after the last application.
Ground Application Directed or Banded
Sprays
The application rates shown in the following tables pertain
to both aerial and ground (broadcast) methods of applica-
tion. Headline may also be applied as a directed or
banded spray over the rows or plant beds with alleys or
row middles left unsprayed. For such uses, reduce the rate
of Headline in proportion to the area actually sprayed. This
adjustment is necessary to prevent applying the product at
use rates higher than permitted on this label.
Use the following formula to determine the broadcast
equivalent rate for doing directed or banded sprays:
sprayed bed width + unsprayed row middles = total row
width
Example: A directed spray application will be made to
45 inches plant beds that are separated by 15 inches of
unsprayed row-middles.
45 inches sprayed bed width + 15 inches unsprayed row
middles = 60 inches total row width
The calculations to determine the appropriate equivalent
rate of product to use for this situation based on a label
broadcast rate of 12 fl ozs/acre follows:

Application Directions. Begin applications of Headline prior to disease development. To maximize yields in cereals, it
is important to protect the flag leaf. Apply Headline immediately after flag leaf emergence for optimum results.
Headline does not control Fusarium head blight (head scab) or prevent the reductions in grain quality that can result
from this disease. When head blight is a concern, growers should manage this disease with fungicides that are labeled
for and effective in managing this disease, and with cultural practices like crop rotation and plowing to reduce crop
residues that serve as an inoculum source.
Resistance Management. To limit the potential for development of resistance, DO NOT apply more than 0.29 lb ai
pyraclostrobin (= 18 fl ozs Headline) per acre per year.
DO NOT make more than two (2) sequential applications of Headline before alternating to a labeled non-Group 11
fungicide with a different mode of action.
DO NOT harvest barley hay or feed green-chopped barley within 14 days of last application.
* For early season control of net blotch, Septoria leaf and glume blotch, spot blotch, and tan spot when conditions favor
disease development, apply 3 to 6 fl ozs per acre of Headline either in combination with a herbicide application or
when conditions favor disease development. When the 3 to 6 fl ozs early season application rate is used, a second
application of Headline may be required to protect the emerged flag leaf. Environmental conditions for disease or cur-
rent disease pressure at the time of flag-leaf emergence should be used to determine the Headline rate for the
second application. For high disease pressure, use the higher rate of Headline. Early season control is not registered
for use in California.

* For early season control of leaf blotch, Septoria blotch and stem rot, and spot blotch when conditions favor disease
development, apply 3 to 6 fl ozs per acre of Headline either in combination with a herbicide application or when con-
ditions favor disease development. When the 3 to 6 fl ozs early season application rate is used, a second application
of Headline may be required to protect the emerged flag leaf. Environmental conditions for disease or current disease
pressure at the time of flag-leaf emergence should be used to determine the Headline rate for the second application.

Application Directions. Begin applications prior to disease development. Apply Headline at 14-day intervals.
Use the higher rate when disease pressure is high.
Applications of Headline will aid in the control of Rhizoctonia stem canker and crown rot.
In sugar beet, Headline can be combined with low rates of crop oil concentrate (COC), methylated seed oil (MSO), and
nonionic surfactant (NIS) adjuvants. DO NOT use silicone-containing adjuvants. Some combinations and rates may
result in temporary crop injury.
Headline Tank Mixes. Headline can be tank mixed with herbicides such as Poast
® herbicide, Select® herbicide,
Assure® II herbicide or Prism® herbicide for postemergence control of grasses in sugar beet. DO NOT use silicone-
based adjuvants in such combinations. Headline tank mix combinations can include COC or MSO; however, crop
injury may result. The likelihood and level of injury tends to increase with increasing rates of COC or MSO.
See Additives and Tank Mixing Information and Mixing Order sections for more details.
No livestock feeding restrictions.
Resistance Management. To limit the potential for development of resistance, DO NOT apply more than 0.78 lb ai
pyraclostrobin (= 48 fl ozs Headline) per acre per year. DO NOT make more than one (1) application of Headline
before the 4-leaf stage of plant growth. After the 4-leaf stage of plant growth, DO NOT make more than one (1) appli-
cation of Headline before alternating to a non-Group 11 fungicide with a different mode of action.

39
Table 2. Headline® fungicide Crop-specific Requirements (continued)
In-furrow Use to Control Soilborne Rhizoctonia spp. and Suppression of Fusarium spp. and Pythium spp. in
Potatoes
Use 0.4 to 0.8 fl oz of Headline per 1000 row feet (for applications on 32-inch or 34-inch rows, the maximum application
rate is 0.73 fl oz/1000 row feet). Refer to the chart below to determine the rate per acre. Apply at planting as an in-furrow
spray by directing spray pattern to uniformly cover seed pieces and surrounding soil. The spray pattern should be a 4- to
8-inch band that is applied to the seed piece prior to being covered with soil.
When disease pressure conditions are expected to be severe or if the field has a history of Rhizoctonia infestations, use
Headline at 0.6 to 0.8 fl oz per 1000 row feet and/or tank mix with a fungicide having a different mode of action.
DO NOT apply more than 12 fl ozs per acre of Headline.
Use a minimum volume of application of 5 gallons of water per acre.

Application Directions. Begin applications of Headline prior to disease development. To maximize yields in cereals,
protect the flag leaf. Apply Headline immediately after flag leaf emergence for optimum results.
Headline does not control Fusarium head blight (head scab) or prevent the reductions in grain quality that can result
from this disease. When head blight is a concern, growers should manage this disease with fungicides that are labeled
for and effective in managing this disease, and with cultural practices like crop rotation and plowing to reduce crop
residues that serve as an inoculum source.
DO NOT harvest wheat hay or feed green-chopped wheat within 14 days after last application.
Resistance Management. To limit the potential for development of resistance, DO NOT apply more than 0.29 lb ai
pyraclostrobin (= 18 fl ozs Headline) per acre per year.
DO NOT make more than two (2) sequential applications of Headline before alternating to a labeled non-Group 11
fungicide with a different mode of action.
* For early season control of tan spot, Septoria leaf and glume blotch, and spot blotch when conditions favor disease
development, apply 3 to 6 fl ozs per acre of Headline either in combination with a herbicide application or when con-
ditions favor disease development. When the 3 to 6 fl ozs early season application rate is used, a second application
of Headline may be required to protect the emerged flag leaf. Environmental conditions for disease or current disease
pressure at the time of flag-leaf emergence should be used to determine the Headline rate for the second application.
For high disease pressure, use the higher rate of Headline. Early season control is not registered for use in California.
