PRODUCT INFORMATION
MINUETTM :
• contains bacteria that, when applied to the soil, will germinate to colonize the developing root system and provide
suppression of disease-causing organisms such as Fusarium, Pythium and Rhizoctonia that can attack plant roots. For
disease prevention, use MINUET in a tank-mix or rotational program with other registered fungicides and bactericides.
• provides benefits which can result in healthier plants. As the plant’s root system develops, the bacteria in MINUET,
formulated and provided at optimized levels, grows with the roots, and aids in the establishment of a vigorous root
system. Improved plant health may help the host plant tolerate environmental stresses and increase nutrient utilization,
plant stand and yield.

Chemigation Monitoring
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.
Required System Safety Devices
The system must contain a functional check valve, a vacuum relief valve, and a 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injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the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.
Using Water From Public Water Systems
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.
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. Chemigation
systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), back-flow preventer 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. 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 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 or
in cases where there is no water pump, 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.

Injection for Chemigation
Inject the specified dosage of MINUET into the irrigation main water stream: (1) through a constant flow, metering device; (2) into
the center of the main line flow via a pivot tube or equivalent; (3) at a point ahead of at least one, right-angle turn in the main
stream flow such that thorough mixing with the irrigation water is ensured.
Center Pivot, Lateral Move, End Tow, and Traveler Irrigation Equipment (Use only with electric or oil hydraulic drive systems
that provide a uniform water distribution)
•	Determine size of area to be treated.
•	Determine the time required to apply no more than 1/4 inch of water (6,750 gallons water per acre) over the area to
be treated when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures specified by the equipment
manufacturer. Run system at 80 to 95% of manufacturer’s rated capacity.
•	Using only water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal line pressure.
•	Determine the amount of MINUET fungicide required to treat area.
•	Add required amount of MINUET fungicide and sufficient water to meet the injection time requirements of the solution tank.
•	Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injection period.
•	Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until MINUET fungicide solution
has cleared the sprinkler head.
Solid Set, Side (Wheel) Roll, and Hand Move Irrigation Equipment
•	 Determine acreage covered by sprinkler.
•	 Fill injector solution tank with water and adjust flow rate to use contents over a 10- to 30-minute interval.
•	 Determine the amount of MINUET fungicide required to treat area.
•	 Add the required amount of MINUET fungicide into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection equipment.
•	 Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injection period.
•	 Operate system at normal pressures specified by the manufacturer of the injection equipment and used for the time
interval established during calibration.
•	 Inject MINUET fungicide at the end of the irrigation cycle or as a separate application to maximize foliar fungicide retention.
•	 Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system until MINUET fungicide solution
has cleared the last sprinkler head.
Flushing and Cleaning the Chemical Injection System
At the end of the application period, allow time for all lines to flush the pesticide through all nozzles or emitters before turning
off irrigation water. To ensure the lines are flushed and free of pesticides, a dye indicator may be injected into the lines to mark
the end of the application period.
In order to apply pesticides accurately, the chemical injection system must be kept clean, free of chemical or fertilizer residues
and sediments. Refer to your owner’s manual or ask your equipment supplier for the cleaning procedure for your injection system.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for
considering all of these factors when making application decisions. Consult the local Cooperative Extension for additional information.
Avoiding spray drift is the responsibility of the applicator.
Droplet Size
Use the largest droplet size which provides sufficient control and coverage. Higher flow nozzles and lower pressures will
produce larger droplets and minimize drift. Low drift and air induction nozzles will provide lower drift potential. Use larger
droplet size when applying in hot, dry conditions (droplet evaporation is higher under these conditions, thus reducing the
effective droplet size and increasing drift potential).
Wind Speed
Drift potential increases at wind speeds of less than 3 mph (due to inversion potential) or more than 10 mph. Applications
during gusty or calm wind conditions should be avoided. However, many factors, including droplet size, canopy and equipment
specifications determine drift potential at any given wind speed. For applications made in-furrow or below soil-level, wind
speed restrictions are not applicable.
Temperature Inversions
Drift potential is high during temperature inversions and applications should be avoided under these conditions. Temperature
inversions 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. If fog is not present, inversions can also
be identified by the movement of smoke or dust from a ground source -- smoke or dust that layers and moves laterally in a
concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion.
Sensitive Areas
When applying adjacent to residential areas, bodies of water, habitats known to have threatened or endangered species, or non-target
crops, drift can be minimized to these areas by making application when the wind direction is away from these areas.
Where states or local authorities have more stringent regulations, they should be observed.
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
Compatibility
MINUET is physically and biologically compatible with many commonly used pesticides, fertilizers, adjuvants, and surfactants
but has not been fully evaluated with all of these. To ensure compatibility of tank-mix combinations, evaluate them prior to
use as follows: Using a suitable container, add proportional amounts of product to water. Add wettable powders first, followed
by water dispersible granules, then by liquid flowables, and lastly, emulsifiable concentrates. Mix thoroughly and let stand for
at least five minutes. If the combination stays mixed or can be remixed, it is physically compatible. Test the combination on a
small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response does not occur as a result of application.
Do not combine MINUET with pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers with which there has been no previous experience or use
demonstrating that they are physically compatible, effective, and non-injurious under your use conditions.

Order of Mixing
MINUET may be tank-mixed with other registered pesticides to enhance plant disease control or suppression. This product
cannot be mixed with any product with a prohibition against such mixing. When tank-mixing MINUET with other registered
pesticides, always read and follow all use directions, restrictions, and precautions of both MINUET and the tank-mix partner(s).
Use of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. Do not exceed
label dosage rates.
1. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation.
2. Add the specified amount of MINUET
3. Finish filling the tank to the volume necessary to obtain the proper spray concentration.
It is critical that the spray solution be agitated during mixing and application to assure a uniform suspension. Do not allow
spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. Maintain a spray solution pH between 4.5 and 8.5.
SPECIFIC CROP DIRECTIONS
CROP USE DIRECTIONS
•	MINUET has a 0-Day Pre-Harvest Interval for all crops contained on this label.
•	Applying MINUET to the soil at plant establishment will enhance root colonization.
•	For improved performance under moderate to severe disease pressure, use the stated higher rates and reduced spray
intervals as stated or use MINUET in a tank-mix or rotational program with other registered fungicides.
Soil Treatment Application Instructions
MINUET is a broad spectrum fungicide and bactericide for the prevention, suppression [and control] of soil borne diseases on
a wide range of horticultural and broadacre crops. For all crops, MINUET may be applied as a soil surface drench, shanked-in,
side-dress, injected and in-furrow at any time.
Greenhouse Application Instructions
MINUET may be applied as a soil treatment in Greenhouses with good resistance management programs. See soil treatment
application instructions. Crop safety has not been confirmed on all cultivars. Plant compatibility testing is recommended when
first using under your greenhouse conditions.
Preventative Applications for Plant Health and Optimum Disease Control
MINUET provides benefits which can result in healthier plants. MINUET colonizes plants, preventing the establishment of
disease-causing fungi and bacteria. As the plant’s root system develops, the bacteria in MINUET, formulated and provided at
optimized levels, grow with the roots, providing protection throughout the growing season and resulting in the establishment
of a vigorous root system. Improved plant health may help the host plant tolerate environmental stresses such as drought,
heat, and cold temperatures. MINUET improves plant utilization of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, other micronutrients and
iron. Overall increased plant health may improve crop vigor, yields and quality, especially under stressful conditions.
