3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
Alto 100SL Fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide for control of certain diseases in
soybeans, corn, peanuts, and wheat. All applications must be made according to the
use directions that follow.
3.1 Integrated Pest (Disease) Management
Alto 100SL Fungicide should be integrated into an overall disease and pest
management strategy whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Cultural practices
known to reduce disease development should be followed. See Section 7.0 for crop-
specific IPM recommendations. Consult your local agricultural authorities for additional
IPM strategies established for your area. Alto 100SL Fungicide may be used in state
agricultural extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend
application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.
3.2 Resistance
Management
For resistance management, Alto 100SL Fungicide contains a Group 3 fungicide. Any
fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Alto 100SL Fungicide
and other Group 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time
if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-
management strategies should be followed.
Alto 100SL Fungicide should not be alternated or tank mixed with any fungicide to which
resistance has developed for the disease to be controlled.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of Alto 100SL Fungicide or other Group 3 fungicides within a growing
season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
x Use tank mixtures with fung icides from a different group that are equally effective on
the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate
as labeled by the manufacturer.
x Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and
which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease
development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological, and other chemical
control practices.
x Where possible, make use of predictive di sease models to effectively time fungicide
applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage
resistance.
x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.

x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops
and pathogens.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact Syngenta Crop
Protection at 1-866-796-4368. You can also contact your pesticide distributor or
university extension specialist to report resistance.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
4.1 Methods of Application
Alto 100SL Fungicide may be applied by ground, by air, or chemigation depending on
the crop. Refer to Section 7.0 for crop-specific instructions.
4.2 Application Equipment
Alto 100SL Fungicide may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used
for making ground and aerial applications. Do not apply Alto 100SL Fungicide through
any type of ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system. Proper adjustments and calibration of
spraying equipment to give good canopy penetration and coverage is essential for good
disease control.
4.2.1 NOZZLES
x Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application.
x Be certain that nozzles are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom.
x Calibrate sprayer before use.
x Although Alto 100SL Fungicide is a soluble concentrate, it is suggested that screens
be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging.
x Screens placed on suction side of pump should be 16-mesh or coarser.
x Do not place a screen in the recirculation line.
x Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required
at the nozzles.
x Check nozzle manufacturers recommendations.
4.2.2 PUMP
x Use a pump with capacity to:
o Maintain at least 35 - 40 psi at nozzles.
o Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension (this requires
recirculation of 10% of tank volume per minute).
x Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation.
x Do not air sparge.
For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer
manufacturers and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray
schedules, consult the current state and local agricultural recommendations.
Alto 100SL
Page 9
4.3 Application Volume and Spray Coverage
Apply Alto 100SL Fungicide in a minimum spray volume of 10 gallons per acre for
ground application, and 2 gallons per acre for aerial application. Use sufficient water for
adequate coverage and canopy penetration.
4.4 Mixing Directions
1. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product.
2. Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation.
3. Keep product container tightly closed when not in use.
4. Agitate the spray solution before and during application.
5. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.
6. Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean water after each days use and dispose of
pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area.
4.4.1 ALTO 100SL FUNGICIDE ALONE
1. Add 1/2 to 2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank.
2. With the agitator running, add the Alto 100SL Fungicide to the tank.
3. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
4. Begin application of the spray solution after the Alto 100SL Fungicide has completely
dispersed into the mix water.
5. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.
4.4.2 TANK-MIX PRECAUTIONS
x If using Alto 100SL Fungicide in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use,
crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the
tank-mix product(s) label(s).
x Tank mixtures or other applications of pr oducts referenced on this label are permitted
only in those states in which the referenced products are registered.
x The safety of all potential tank mixes on all crops may not have been tested. Before
applying any tank mixture not specifically recommended on this label, the safety of
the target crop should be confirmed.
4.4.3 TANK-MIX RESTRICTIONS
x Do not exceed any label dosage rates. Follow the most restrictive label precautions
and limitations of any tank-mix partners.
x Do not mix this product with any pr oduct which prohibits such mixing.
4.4.4 TANK-MIX COMPATIBILITY
Alto 100SL Fungicide is usually compatible with all tank-mix partners listed on this label.
However, before tank mixing, use a jar test, as described below, to determine the
physical compatibility of tank-mix partners.
Compatibility Test: Always check tank-mix compatibility with tank-mixed partners
each time before use. Commercial application equipment may improve tank-mix
compatibility in some instances.
Alto 100SL
Page 10
The following test assumes a spray volume of 25 gal/A. For other spray volumes, make
appropriate changes in the components. Check tank-mix compatibility using this
procedure:
1. Add 1 pint of carrier (either the water or liquid fertilizer to be used in the spray
operation) to each of two clear 1-quart jars with tight lids.
2. To one of the jars, add ¼ teaspoon or 1.2 milliliters of a commercially available tank-
mix compatibility agent approved for this use (¼ teaspoon is equivalent to 2 pints per
100 gallons spray). Invert the jar, then shake or stir gently to ensure thorough
mixing.
3. To both jars, add the appropriate amount of each tank-mix partner. If more than one
tank-mix partner is to be used, add them separately and adhere to this mixing order:
dry formulations (wettable powders or water dispersible granules) first, followed by
liquid flowables, capsule suspensions, emulsifiable concentrates and finally
adjuvants. After each addition, invert the jar, then shake or stir gently to thoroughly
mix. The appropriate amount of each tank-mix partner for this test is as follows:
Dry formulations: Add the tank-mix ingredients in their relative proportions; e.g., for
each pound to be applied per acre, add 1.5 level tsp to each jar.
Liquid formulations: Add the tank-mix ingredients in their relative proportions; e.g., for
each pint to be applied per acre, add 0.5 tsp or 2.5 mL to each jar.
4. After adding all ingredients, put lids on and tighten, then invert each jar 10 times to
fully mix. Let the mixtures stand for 15-30 minutes and then assess by looking for
separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of
incompatibility. Determine if a compatibility agent is needed in the spray mixture by
comparing the two jars. If either mixture separates, but can be remixed readily, the
mixture can be sprayed as long as good agitation is used. If the mixtures are
incompatible, test the following methods of improving compatibility: (A) slurry dry
formulations in water before addition, or (B) add the compatibility agent directly into
liquid formulations before addition to the tank mixture. If these procedures are
followed but incompatibility is still observed, do not use the tank mixture.
4.4.5 ALTO 100SL FUNGICIDE IN TANK MIXTURES
1. Add 1/2 to 2/3 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank.
2. With the agitator running, add the tank-mix partner(s) into the tank.
3. In general, add tank-mix partner(s) in this order:
a. products packaged in water-soluble packaging
b. wettable powders
c. wettable granules (dry flowables)
d. liquid flowables
e. liquids
f. emulsifiable concentrates
Alto 100SL
Page 11
4. Allow each product to completely dissolv e and disperse into the mix water before
adding the next one.
5. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water, additive as needed, and
the Alto 100SL Fungicide to the spray tank.
6. Allow the Alto 100SL Fungicide to completely disperse.
7. Spray the mixture with the agitator running.
4.4.6 SPRAY ADDITIVES
x When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, use one that meets the standards
of the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) adjuvant
certification is recommended.
x Refer to individual crop use directions in Section 7.0 for use of additives.
4.5 Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation)
x If you have questions about calibration, contact state extension service specialists,
equipment manufacturers, or other experts.
4.5.1 CHEMIGATION RESTRICTIONS
x A pply Alto 100SL Fungicide only to crops for which chemigation is specified on this
label.
x Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system except as
specified on this label.
x Do not apply when winds are greater than 10-15 mph to avoid drift or wind skips.
x Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Plant injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result
from non-uniform treated water.
x Do not inject Alto 100SL Fungicide at full st rength or deterioration of valves and seals
may occur. Use a dilution ratio of at least 10 parts water to 1 part Alto 100SL
Fungicide. Alto 100SL Fungicide is corrosive to many seal materials. Leather seals
are best; EPDM or silicone rubber seals can be used, but should be replaced once a
year. Do not use Viton™, Buna-N, Neoprene, or PVC seals.
x Allow sufficient time for the pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles
before turning off irrigation water.
x 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.
x Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water
system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety devices for public water systems
are in place.
4.5.2 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR CHEMIGATION
1. 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.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing
check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
Alto 100SL
Page 12
3. 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.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the
pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops.
5. 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.
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. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
4.5.3 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 (RPZ) back-flow pr eventer 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 sh all 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 cont ain a functional, automatic, quick-closing
check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must cont ain 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 interlock ing 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 de creases 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. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
4.5.4 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS FOR SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
x Chemical tank and injector system should be thoroughly cleaned. Flush system with
clean water.
x Apply this product through sprinkler irrigat ion systems including center pivot, lateral

5.0 ROTATIONAL CROP RESTRICTIONS
The following crops may be planted at the specified interval following application of Alto
100SL Fungicide:
Crop Plant-Back Interval
Soybeans, corn, peanuts or wheat immediately, if crop is lost
Cereal grains (other than wheat), cotton 180 days
All other crops (including leafy
vegetables) 270 days
6.0 RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
6.1 Use Restrictions
x Do not use in nurseries or greenhouses.
6.2 Use Precautions
x Higher rates in the specified rate range and/or shorter spray intervals may be required
under conditions of heavy infection pressure, highly susceptible varieties, or when
environmental conditions are conducive to disease.
x Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, use another
registered fungicide for additional applications if the maximum amount of product has
been applied.
x The active ingredient in this product may have effects on federally listed threatened
and endangered species or critical habitat in some counties. When using this product,
you must follow the measures contained in the county bulletin for the county in which
you are applying the pesticide. Bulletins may be available from local pesticide
dealers, extension offices, or state pesticide agencies.
6.3 Spray Drift Advisories
x THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY
DRIFT.
x BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS.
6.3.1 IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
x An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest
droplets that provide target pest control.
x While applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be
greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable environmental
conditions.
Alto 100SL
Page 15
6.3.2 CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE GROUND BOOM
x Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will
reduce spray drift. Use the highest practical spray volume for the application. If a
greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle with a higher flow rate.
x Pressure - Use the lowest spray pr essure recommended for the nozzle to produce
the target spray volume and droplet size.
x Nozzle Type - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application.
Consider using nozzles designed to reduce drift.
6.3.3 CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE AIRCRAFT
x Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recommendations for setting up
nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets, nozzles should be oriented parallel
with the airflow in flight.
6.3.4 BOOM HEIGHT GROUNDBOOM
x For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have
minimal bounce.
6.3.5 RELEASE HEIGHT AIRCRAFT
x Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
6.3.6 SHIELDED SPRAYERS
x Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using
shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not interfering with the uniform
deposition of the spray on the target area.
6.3.7 TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
x When making applications in hot and dry conditions, set up equipment to
produce larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.

6.3.8 TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
x Drift potential is high during a temperat ure inversion. Temperature inversions are
characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights
with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence of an inversion can
be indicated by ground fog or 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. Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
6.3.9 WIND
x Drift potential increases with wi nd speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING
GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
x Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could
affect spray drift.
