Surface Water Label Advisory
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a
high 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 contamination of water from rainfall runoff. Runoff of this
product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to occur within
48 hours.
Physical or Chemical Hazards
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Ridomil Gold EC is a systemic fungicide for use on selected crops to control certain
diseases caused by members of the Oomycete class of fungi.
PRODUCT USE RESTRICTIONS
Do not use Ridomil Gold EC in greenhouses or other structures such as lath
houses, float houses and hydroponic facilities.
Do not use Ridomil Gold EC for disease control in bedding plants, transplant
trays or nurseries except where specifically allowed in certain crop sections.
DO NOT USE RIDOMIL GOLD EC AS A FOLIAR APPLICATION UNLESS
SPECIFIED ON THIS LABEL.
Do not dip plants or roots, spray bare roots, or use a transplant water treatment
with solutions containing Ridomil Gold EC except where specifically allowed in
certain crop sections.
Under conditions conducive to severe disease pressure, additional fungicide
applications beyond the number allowed by this label may be needed. Under these
conditions, use another fungicide registered for the crop/disease appearing on this
label.
Where rate ranges are specified on this label, use the higher rate when heavy disease
pressure is expected and the lower rate when disease pressure is expected to be light,
unless otherwise noted.
Maximum usage when applying both metalaxyl- and mefenoxam-containing products to
the same crop within the same season: Do not apply more than the maximum seasonal
total for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product containing the lowest
seasonal total on that crop.
Soil-applied maximum application rates include all uses in Part 1 and all uses in Part 2
except foliar applications.
Replanting
If replanting is necessary, additional applications of Ridomil Gold EC may be made,
provided that the total amount of active ingredient in Ridomil Gold EC applied does not
exceed the maximum allowed for the specific crop.
Ridomil Gold EC
PageS
PRODUCT USE INSTRUCTIONS
Application: Apply Ridomil Gold EC by ground or air in sufficient water or liquid
fertilizer to provide uniform coverage of the soil surface. Apply in a minimum of 20 gal.
per acre for ground applications and 3 gal. per acre by air. Refer to the Directions for
Use for specific crop application directions. Refer to Application Instructions for band
and in-furrow calculations.
Moving Ridomil Gold into the Root or Seed Zone:
To ensure maximum activity on soilborne pathogens, Ridomil Gold EC must be moved
into the seed or root zone of the plant. Follow the specific crop directions. Placement in
the seed or root zone includes in-furrow sprays, soil injections, crown dips.
Incorporation includes preplant incorporated applications, soil drenches, or shank
applications. For soil surface sprays, rainfall will move the fungicide into the seed or
root zone, but if rain is not expected within 24 hours after application, mechanically
incorporate (before planting) or sprinkler irrigate (after planting) with Vz to 1 inch of
water.
Efficacy: Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, use
another registered fungicide for additional applications if maximum amount of Ridomil
Gold EC has been used. If resistant isolates to Group 4 fungicides are present, efficacy
can be reduced. Under high disease pressure, it is recommended to use the highest
rate and shortest interval when needed.
Crop Tolerance: Plant tolerance has been found acceptable for all crops on the label,
however, not all possible tank-mix combinations have been tested under all conditions.
When possible, it is recommended to test the combinations on a small portion of the
crop to ensure a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of application.
Spray Drift Management: To avoid spray drift, do not apply when conditions favor drift
beyond the target area. Avoid spray overlap as crop injury may occur. The interaction
of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER. More information on managing spray drift
can be found on this website under Stewardship
http://www.syngentacropprotection-us.com/enviro/driftmanagement/
IPM: Ridomil Gold EC should be integrated into an overall disease and pest
management strategy (IPM) whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Cultural
practices known to reduce disease development should be followed. Consult your local
agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
| GROUP Q FUNGICIDE"]
Ridomil Gold EC is in the Group 4 class fungicide having a specific mode of action and
is subject to the development of insensitive strains of fungi. Fungal pathogens can
develop resistance to products with the same mode of action when used repeatedly.
Because resistance development cannot be predicted, use of this product should
conform to resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area.
Consult your local or state agricultural authorities for resistance management strategies
that are complementary to those in this label. Resistance management strategies may
include rotating and/or tank mixing with products having different modes of action or
limiting the total number of applications per season. Syngenta encourages responsible
resistance management to ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on
this label. Ridomil Gold EC should not be alternated or tank mixed with any fungicide to
which resistance has already developed.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Nozzles
• Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application.
• Nozzles should be the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom.
• Calibrate sprayer before use.
• It is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles
from clogging.
• Screens placed on suction side of pump should be 16-mesh or coarser.
• Do not place a screen in the recirculation line.
• Use 50-mesh or coarsercScreens,.betweeji the pump and boom, and where required,
at the nozzles. tc 1 t ; ! <.*"•,.• i i: •
• Check nozzle mariLifactjirer's t
c r Ridomil Gold EC
Page 10
Pump
• Use a pump with capacity to:
(1) Maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles
(2) Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension - this
requires recirculation of 10% of tank volume per minute.
• Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation.
• 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 agricultural recommendations.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
• Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation.
• Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product.
• Agitate the spray solution before and during application.
• Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean water after each day's use and dispose of
pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated, area.
Ridomil Gold EC Alone (no tank mix):
• Add % - 7z of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank.
•. With the agitator running, add Ridomil Gold EC to the tank.
• Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water.
• Begin application of the spray solution after Ridomil Gold EC has completely
dispersed into the mix water.
• Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.
Ridomil Gold EC + Tank Mixtures: Ridomil Gold EC is usually compatible with all
tank-mix partners listed on this label. To determine the physical compatibility of Ridomil
Gold EC with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate
amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable powders and water dispersible
granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After
thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 20 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or
can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven,
use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.
Do not combine Ridomil Gold EC in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or
fertilizers, unless compatibility charts or your own prior use has shown that the
combination is physically compatible, effective and non-injurious under your conditions
of use.
c r tt-i
Ridomil Gold EC

Mixing in the Spray Tank
• Add % - !4 of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank.
• With the agitator running, add the tank-mix partner(s) into the tank in the same order
as described above.
• Allow the material to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water. Continue
agitation while adding the remainder of the water and Ridomil Gold EC to the spray
tank.
• Allow Ridomil Gold EC to completely disperse.
• Spray the mixture with the agitator running.
• Observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and
limitations which appear on the tank mix product label.
• Do not exceed maximum label dosage rates, and the most restrictive label
precautions and limitations must be followed.
• Do not tank mix this product with any product which prohibits such mixing.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Ground Application (Broadcast):
• Apply in a minimum of 20 gal. of water per acre, unless specified otherwise.
Ground Application (Banded):
• Application rates in the Directions for Use are generally expressed as an amount per
acre which refers to the total crop area to be treated. If using a banded application,
use proportionally less product using the formula below:
band width in inches
row spacing in inches X
broadcast rate
per acre
amount needed
per acre of field
Ground Applications (In-Furrow):
• Apply Ridomil Gold EC as an in-furrow spray in 3-7 gal. per acre of water at planting.
• Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed into the furrow just before the seed
are covered.
• The following table provides common row spacing and the amount of Ridomil Gold
EC to apply per acre.

Operating Instructions
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.
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.
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 rirv^ef xr-.e reservqi<rctank of at least twice the inside

For additional applications, see Tobacco in Part 2 of Directions for Use: Soil-Directed and Other
Foliar Applications.
• Consult local extension bulletins for additional use directions.
• For best results against black shank, use tobacco varieties that have high resistance to black shank
and use crop rotation.
• In fields with a history of severe black shank, use the highest rate and plant a variety resistant to the
race of Phytophthora present (Burley l_8 hybrids are resistant to only Phytophthora Race 0).
• Do not use in high black shank areas on highly susceptible flue-cured varieties.
• Failure to adequately control nematodes in fields treated with Ridomil Gold EC may result in poor
control of black shank.
• Do not use Ridomil Gold EC for black shank control in PA.
• Do not exceed the equivalent of 1.5 Ib. a.i./A per crop of mefenoxam-containing products.

transplanting followed by sequential
applications.
For additional applications, see Tobacco in Part 1 of Directions for Use: Soil-Injected or Soil-
Incorporated Applications.
• Consult local extension bulletins for additional use directions.
• For best results against black shank, use tobacco varieties that have high resistance to black shank
and use crop rotation.
• In fields with a history of severe black shank, use the highest rate and plant a variety resistant to
the race of Phytophthora present (Burley L8 hybrids are resistant to only Phytophthora Race 0).
• Do not use in high black shank areas on highly susceptible flue-cured varieties.
• Failure to adequately control nematodes in fields treated with Ridomil Gold EC may result in poor
control of black shank.
• Do not use Ridomil Gold EC for black shank control in PA.

Groundwater Advisory Statement
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
ground water. This chemical may leach into ground water if used in areas where soils
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Label Advisory
This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a
high 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 contamination of water from rainfall runoff. Runoff of this
product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecast to occur within
48 hours.
Physical or Chemical Hazards
Do not use or store near heat or open flame.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.
Pesticide Storage
Store in original containers only. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store
near food or feed. In case of spill on floor or paved surfaces, mop and remove to
chemical waste storage area until proper disposal can be made if product cannot be
used according to label.
