GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION
Apply NF44 70WP with ground equipment, using sufficient volume of spray to provide thorough coverage. Add required amount of NF44 70WP to partially filled tank agitated by mechanical
or hydraulic means, and then add remaining required amount of water. Continuous agitation is required to keep the material in suspension. Nippon Soda Co., Ltd. does not recommend
tank mixes with highly alkaline pesticides, such as Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur. No claim of compatibility with other pesticides is implied. Use the higher rate under conditions of severe
disease pressure. Also, see local State Extension Service recommendations for application schedules. Use a minimum spray volume of 20 gallons/A for row crops. Higher spray volume
will generally result in better coverage and better disease control. Lack of control when using below minimum spray volumes is solely at the risk of the applicator/user, including use of
electrostatic sprayers.
For crops without labeled uses of thiophanate-methyl, observe a 30-day plantback restriction. '
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT: To avoid the development of tolerant or resistant strains of fungi, NF44 70WP should always be tank-mixed with a fungicide of different chemistry, andtor a
fungicide of different chemistry should be alternated with NF44 70WP. DO NOT USE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIABENDAZOLE OR OTHER PRODUCTS CONTAINING
THIOPHANATE-METHYL IN COMBINATION, IN ROTATION, OR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR NF44 70WP AS THEY ARE OF SIMILAR CHEMISTRY AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE
DEVELOPMENT OF RESISTANCE. If after using NF44 70WP as recommended, and the treatment is not effective, a tolerant or resistant strain of fungi may be present. Discontinue the
use of NF44 70WP for at least one season. As long as these precautions are followed, NF44 70WP can be useful for disease control, even if resistant strains are present.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS ,
If other materials are to be added to the tank, especially fertilizers high in nitrogen or boron, wait until the NF44 70WP is fully dissolved before adding them. Once all materials have been
added, fill the tank with the remaining volume of water. Maintain continuous agitation at all times, and use the spray suspension as soon as possible.
