Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through
skin. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Wash
thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or
using the toilet. Remove and wash contaminated
clothing before reuse.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Some materials that are chemically resistant to this
product are listed below. For more options, refer to
Category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category
selection chart.
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material (such as nitrile, butyl, neoprene, and/or
barrier laminate)
• Shoes plus socks
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and
maintaining PPE. If no such instructions forwashables
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
aircraft 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.
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.
Environmental Hazards
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.
!
Groundwater
Ametoctradin and its degradates have properties and
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
groundwater. These chemicals may leach into
groundwater if used in areas where soils are
permeable, particularly where the water table is
shallow.
Surface Water
Ametoctradin and its degradates may impact surface
water quality through spray and runoff of rainwater.
This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils
with shallow groundwater. Ametoctradin and its
degradates are classified as having high-to-medium
potential for reaching surface water via runoff for
several weeks after application. 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 loading of ametoctradin from runoff water and
sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by
avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to occur
within 48 hours.
Directions For Use
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a
manner inconsistent with its labeling. DO NOT apply
this product in a way that will contact workers or other
persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected
handlers may be in the area during application. For any
requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the
agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling
and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR
part 170. This standard contains requirements for
the protection of agricultural workers on farms,
forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers
of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements
for training, decontamination, notification, and
emergency assistance. It also contains specific
instructions and exceptions pertaining to the
statements on this label about personal protective
equipment (PPE), notification to workers, and

Product Information
This package contains BAS 650 00 F fungicide, a
suspension concentrate (SC) with the active ingredient
ametoctradin. The active ingredient in BAS 650 00 F is
a strong inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration in
complex III (cytochrome bc1) of Oomycetes fungi.
Preventive applications optimize disease control. To
maximize disease control, apply BAS 650 00 F in a
regularly scheduled protective spray program and use
in a rotation program with other fungicides.
BAS 650 00 F is not for use in greenhouse or
transplant production.
Mode of Action
BAS 650 00 F contains the active ingredient
ametoctradin. Ametoctradin, a strong inhibitor of
mitochondrial respiration in complex III
(cytochrome bc1) of Oomycetes fungi, is classified as a
Group 45 fungicide.
Resistance Management
BAS 650 00 F contains ametoctradin, a Group 45
fungicide, and is effective against pathogens resistant
to fungicides with modes of action different from those
of target site Group 45.
Fungal isolates resistant to Group 45 fungicides may
eventually dominate the fungal population if Group 45
fungicides are used predominantly and repeatedly in
the same field in successive years as the primary
method of control for the targeted pathogen species,
especially if resistance to Group 45 fungicides is
already present in the pathogen population. This may
result in reduction of disease control by BAS 650 00 F
or other Group 45 fungicides.
To maintain the performance of BAS 650 00 F in the
field, DO NOT exceed the total number of sequential
applications of BAS 650 00 F per season stated in the
Restrictions and Limitations section and Table 2.
BAS 650 00 F fungicide Crop-specific
Requirements. Adhere to the label instructions
regarding the consecutive use of BAS 650 00 F or
other target site of action Group 45 fungicides that
have a similar site of action on the same pathogen.

Resistance Management Advisory
The following recommendations may be considered to
delay the development of fungicide resistance:
1. Tank mixtures - Use tank mixtures with effective
fungicides from different target site of action groups
that are registered/permitted for the same use and
that are effective against the pathogens of concern.
Use at least the minimum labeled rates of each
fungicide in the tank mix.
2. IPM - Integrate BAS 650 00 F fungicide into an
overall disease and pest management program.
Follow cultural practices known to reduce disease
development. Consult your local extension specialist,
certified crop advisor and/or BASF representative for
additional IPM strategies established for your area.
BAS 650 00 F may be used in agricultural extension
advisory (disease forecasting) 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 45 target site fungicide,
such as BAS 650 00 F, 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.
Application Instructions
Apply rates of BAS 650 00 F as instructed in Table 2.
BAS 650 00 F fungicide Crop-specific
Requirements. Apply BAS 650 00 F with ground
sprayer, aerial equipment or through sprinkler irrigation
equipment. Check equipment frequently for calibration.
Under low-level disease conditions, use the minimum
application rates; use maximum application rates and
shortened spray schedules for severe or threatening
disease conditions. Maximum benefit of BAS 650 00 F
from foliar applications requires thorough coverage of
the plant.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Spraying equipment must be cleaned thoroughly before
and after applying this product, particularly if a product
with potential to injure crops was used prior to
BAS 650 00 F.
Ground Application
Apply BAS 650 00 F in sufficient water to ensure
thorough coverage of foliage, blooms, and fruit.
Thorough coverage is required for optimum disease
control. Unless otherwise specified in this label, use no
less than 20 gallons of spray solution per acre.
Instructions for Directed or Banded Crop
Sprays
The application rates shown in Table 1. BAS 650 00 F
fungicide Restrictions and Limitations Overview
and Table 2. BAS 650 00 F fungicide Crop-specific
Requirements pertain to both aerial and ground
(broadcast) methods of application. BAS 650 00 F 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
BAS 650 00 F in proportion to the area sprayed. Make
this adjustment to prevent applying the product at use
rates higher than permitted on this label.
The following formula may be used to determine the
broadcast-equivalent rate for directed or banded
sprays:
sprayed bed
width
sprayed bed
width in inches
total row width
in inches
unsprayed
row middles

Example: A directed spray application will be made to
45-inch plant beds 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:

Aerial Application
Use no less than 5 gallons of spray solution per acre to
ensure thorough coverage of plant foliage. DO NOT
apply when conditions favor drift from target area.
Because complete coverage is important for effective
disease control, aerial application may result in reduced
control because of lack of canopy penetration and
coverage.
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 responsibility of the
applicator.
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
The interaction of many equipment-related and
weather-related factors determines the potential for
spray drift. The applicator 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.
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 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan
or 90% of rotor blade diameter.
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 should 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
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.
• 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
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
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
evaporation 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
inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature
inversions restrict vertical air mixing that causes small
suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud.
This cloud can move in unpredictable directions
because of 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.
6
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 BAS 650 00 F fungicide at rates and timings as
required in this label.
Use Precautions for Sprinkler Irrigation
Applications
• Apply BAS 650 00 F only through sprinkler irrigation
systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow,
side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand
move irrigation systems. DO NOT apply this product
through any other type of irrigation system.
• Add BAS 650 00 F 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 noncontinuous 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 nonuniform
distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage of
foliage is required for good control. Maintain good
agitation during the entire application period.
• Contact a state extension service specialist,
equipment manufacturers or other experts for
calibration questions.
• 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
functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve
located on the intake side of the injection pump and
connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid
from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the
irrigation system is either automatically or manually
shut down.
• The system must contain functional interlocking
controls to automatically shut off the pesticide
injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
• The irrigation line or water pump must include a
functional pressure switch which will stop the water
pump motor when the water pressure decreases to
the point where pesticide distribution is adversely
affected.
• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a
positive displacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm
pump), effectively designed and constructed of
materials that are compatible with pesticides and
capable of being fitted with a system interlock.
• 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
greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application
to a public water system unless the pesticide label-
prescribed safety devices for public water systems
are in place.
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
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.
Additives and Tank
Mixing Information
BAS 650 00 F fungicide can be tank mixed with most
recommended fungicides, insecticides, herbicides,
liquid fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants,
and additives as specified in Table 2. BAS 650 00 F
fungicide Crop-specific Requirements.
The use of additives or adjuvants may improve the
performance of BAS 650 00 F. However, all 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 BAS 650 00 F with other products. Therefore,
before using any tank mix (fungicides, insecticides,
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
application.
When an adjuvant (or a specific adjuvant product, such
as a drift control agent) is to be used with this product,
BASF recommends the use of a Chemical Producers
and Distributors Association (CPDA) certified adjuvant.
Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural
authorities for more information concerning additives.
5. Water-dispersible products (such as
BAS 650 00 F, dry flowables, wettable powders,
suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions)
6. Water-soluble products
7. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil
concentrates when applicable)
8. Water-soluble additives (such as ammonium
sulfate [AMS] or urea ammonium nitrate [UAN] when
applicable)
9. Remaining quantity of water
Make sure each component is thoroughly mixed and
suspended before adding tank mix partners. Maintain
constant agitation during application. See Table 2.
BAS 650 00 F fungicide Crop-specific Requirements
for more details.
Restrictions and Limitations
• DO NOT exceed the maximum seasonal use rate, the
maximum rate per application, or the total number of
applications of BAS 650 00 F per season as stated in
Table 2. BAS 650 00 F fungicide Crop-specific
Requirements. Preharvest Interval (PHI) restrictions
are also included in this table.
• DO NOT use BAS 650 00 F in greenhouse or
transplant production.
• Tank Mixtures - When tank mixing, observe the
most restrictive tank mix limitations and precautions
of all products used in the tank mixture.
• Crop Rotation Restriction - Crops listed on the
BAS 650 00 F label may be planted immediately
following the last application. All other crops can be
planted 14 days after the last application.
Mixing Order
1. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean
sprayer tank 3/4 full of clean water.
2. Agitation - Maintain constant agitation throughout
mixing 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.
