PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
|
||
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS
|
||
CAUTION / PRECAUCTIÓN
|
||
Harmful if absorbed through skin. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing.
|
||
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)
|
||
All handlers must wear:
|
||
x Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
|
||
x Waterproof gloves.
|
||
x Shoes plus socks
|
||
In addition, mixers/loaders/applicators using mechanically pressurized handwands, except when
|
||
applying to Christmas tree farms, nursery ornamentals, or landscape areas, must wear:
|
||
x A minimum of a NIOSH-approved particulate filtering facepiece respirator with any N, R or P filter;
|
||
OR a NIOSH-approved elastomeric particulate resp irator with any N, R or P filter; OR a NIOSH-
|
||
approved powered air purifying respirator with HE filters.
|
||
Human flagging is prohibited.
|
||
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/m aintaining PPE. If no such instructions exist for
|
||
washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
|
||
Engineering Controls
|
||
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements
|
||
listed in the Worker Protection Stan dard (WPS) for agricultural pestic ides (40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6), the
|
||
handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
|
||
When reduced PPE is worn because a closed system is being used, handlers must be provided all PPE
|
||
specified above for "applicators and other handlers" and have such PPE immediately available for use in
|
||
an emergency, such as a spill or equipment breakdown.
|
||
Respirator fit testing, medical qualification, and training for Non-WPS uses
|
||
Using a program that conforms to OSHA's requiremen ts (see 29 CFR Part 1910.134), employers must
|
||
verify that any handler who uses a respirator is:
|
||
• Fit-tested and fit-checked,
|
||
• Trained, and
|
||
• Examined by a qualified medical practitioner to en sure physical ability to safely wear the style of
|
||
respirator to be worn. A qualified medical practiti oner is a physician or other licensed health care
|
||
professional who will evaluate the ability of a worker to wear a respirator. The initial evaluation consists
|
||
of a questionnaire that asks about medical conditio ns (such as a heart condition) that would be
|
||
problematic for respirator use. If concerns are identified, then additional evaluations, such as a physical
|
||
exam, might be necessary. The initial evaluation must be done before respirator use begins. Handlers
|
||
must be reexamined by a qualified medical practitioner if their health status or respirator style or use
|
||
conditions change.
|
||
Upon request by local/state/fede ral/tribal enforcement person nel, employers must provide
|
||
documentation demonstrating how they have complied with these requirements.
|
||

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
This product is a suspension concentrate (SC) or flowable formulation. It is a broad spectrum, preventive
|
||
fungicide with systemic and curative properties recommended for the control of many important plant
|
||
diseases. This product may also improve the yield and/ or quality of the crop. These additional benefits
|
||
are due to positive effects on plant physiology. The effects may vary according to factors such as the
|
||
crop, crop hybrid, or environment. This product may be applied as a foliar spray in alternating spray
|
||
programs or in tank mixes with other registered crop protection products. Make all applications according
|
||
to the use directions on this label.
|
||
PHYTOTOXICITY
|
||
This product is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple and crabapple varieties.
|
||
AVOID SPRAY DRIFT. Extreme care must be used to prevent injury to apple and crabapple trees (and fruit).
|
||
Refer to SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT information below.
|
||
Do not spray this product where spray drift may reach apple and crabapple trees.
|
||
Do not spray apple and crabapple trees with spray equipment previously used to apply this product or a
|
||
product that contains azoxystrobin. Even trace amounts of product may cause unacceptable phytotoxicity
|
||
to certain apple and crabapple varieties.
|
||
Some phytotoxicity may be observed when applying tank mixtures of this product with emulsifiable
|
||
concentrate (EC) formulations. These effects may be enhanced if applications are made under cool,
|
||
cloudy conditions and these conditions remain for several days following application. In addition,
|
||
adjuvants that contain some forms of silicone may also contribute to phytotoxicity.
|
||
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)
|
||
To reduce the potential for development of resistance , integrate this product into an overall disease and
|
||
pest management strategy whenever the use of a fung icide is required. Follow cultural practices known
|
||
to reduce disease development such as selection of disease-tolerant varieties, removal of plant debris in
|
||
which inoculum overwinters, and proper timing and pl acement of irrigation. Consult with your State
|
||
Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service specialist for additional IPM strategies established
|
||
for your area. This product may be used in State Ag ricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting)
|
||
programs which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease
|
||
development.
|
||
Crop Tolerance: Plant tolerance has been found to be acce ptable for all crops on the label. However,
|
||
not all possible tank mixture combinations have been tested under all conditions. It is recommended to
|
||
test tank mixture combinations on a small portion of the crop to assess plant response before large scale
|
||
applications. See the USE PRECAUTIONS AND LIMITATIONS section for apple phytotoxicity
|
||
information.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT
|
||
Aerial Applications
|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet above the ground or crop canopy, unless
|
||
a greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x Applicators are required to select nozzles that deliver medium to coarse spray droplets in
|
||
accordance with ASABE Standard S-572.1.
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speed exceeds 15 mph at the application site. If the windspeed is
|
||
greater than 10 mph, the boom length must be 65% or less of the wingspan for fixed wing aircraft
|
||
and 75% or less of the rotor diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length must be 75%
|
||
or less of the wingspan for fixed- wing aircraft and 90% or less of the rotor diameter for
|
||
helicopters.
|
||
x Applicators must use ½ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
Ground Boom Applications
|
||
x User must only apply with the release height recommended by the manufacturer, but no more
|
||
than 4 feet above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide
|
||
target pest control. 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.
|
||
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 pressure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray
|
||
volume and droplet size.
|
||
x Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles
|
||
designed to reduce drift.
|
||
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.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
|
||
RELEASE HEIGHT – Aircraft
|
||
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
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.
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
Page 6
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature invers ion. 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.
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind speed. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURING GUSTY WIND
|
||
CONDITIONS.
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, this product contains azoxystrobin, a Group 11 fungicide. The mode of action
|
||
for this active ingredient is the inhibition of the Qo l (quinone outside) site within the electron transport
|
||
system as well as disruption of membrane synthesis by blocking demethylation. Any fungal population may
|
||
contain individuals naturally resistant to azoxystrobin and other Group 11 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.
|
||
The following steps may delay the development of fungicide resistance:
|
||
Rotate the use of this product or other Group 11 fungicides within a growing season sequence with
|
||
different groups that control the same pathogens.
|
||
Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that are effective on the target pest when such
|
||
use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer.
|
||
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.
|
||
Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications. Note
|
||
that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance.
|
||
Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
|
||
Contact your local extension specialis t or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance
|
||
management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
|
||
For further information or to repo rt suspected resistance, contact Nufarm Americas Inc. at (855) 280-
|
||
6609. You can also contact your pesticide distributo r or university extension specialist to report
|
||
resistance.
|
||
Follow the crop specific resistance management recommendations provided in the directions for use.
|
||
If no resistance management instructions regarding th e number of applications per crop are provided in
|
||
the crop specific directions for use, follow the instructions in the table below.
|
||
|
||
If planned total number of fungicide
|
||
applications per crop is: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

|
||
|
||
Under conditions requiring multiple fungicide applications, develop season long spray programs for Group
|
||
11 (QoI) fungicides. In crops where two sequential Gr oup 11 fungicide applications are made, alternating
|
||
with two or more applications of a fungicide that is not in Group 11 will help reduce the potential for
|
||
resistance development. If more than 12 applications are made, observe the following guidelines:
|
||
x When a Qol fungicide is used as a solo product, make no more than 1/3 (33%) of the total number of
|
||
fungicide applications per season with the QoI containing product.
|
||
|
||
Page 7
|
||
x For programs including tank mixes or premixes of Qol fungicide with mixing partners of a different mode
|
||
of action, the number of Qol containing applications must represent no more than 1/2 (50%) of the total
|
||
number of fungicide applications per season.
|
||
x In programs including applications of Qol fungicides as both solo products and mixtures, the number
|
||
of Qol containing applications must represent no mo re than 1/2 (50%) of the total number of fungicide
|
||
applications per season.
|
||
If a Group 11 fungicide is applied to the seed or so il, do not make another ap plication with a Group 11
|
||
fungicide for at least 3 weeks.
|
||
PRODUCT USE INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Application: Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Make no more spray
|
||
solution than is needed for application. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur.
|
||
Adjuvants: The use of an adjuvant may improve consistency and performance of this product. Refer to
|

Efficacy: Under certain conditions conducive to extend ed infection periods, use another registered
|
||
fungicide for additional applications once the maximum amount of this product has been used. If resistant
|
||
isolates to Group 11 fungicides are present, produc t performance may be reduced for certain diseases.
|
||
When heavy infection pressure exists, when treating varieties highly susceptible to disease, or when
|
||
environmental conditions are conducive to disease development, best results are obtained when using
|
||
the higher rates and/or the shorter spray intervals allowed in the crop specific use directions on this label..
|
||
SOIL BORNE/SEEDLING DISEASE CONTROL
|
||
For crops that have specific use directions for soil borne disease control:
|
||
This product can provide control of many soil borne diseases if applied early in the growing season.
|
||
Specific applications for soil borne diseases incl ude in-furrow applications and banded applications
|
||
applied over the row, either shortly after plant emergenc e or during herbicide applications or cultivation.
|
||
These applications will provide control of pre- or postemergence damping off and diseases that infect
|
||
plants at the soil-plant interface.
|
||
The use of either type of applicatio n depends on the regional cultural practices. In some locations, one
|
||
type of application may provide better disease contro l than the other, depending on the timing of the
|
||
disease epidemic. Seedling diseases are generally co ntrolled by in-furrow applications while banded
|
||
applications are more effective against soil borne diseases that develop later in the season. Consult your
|
||
local expert to get some guidance regarding application type.
|
||
Under cool, wet conditions, crop injury from soil directed applications can occur.

|
||
zone, back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional eq uivalent in the water supply line upstream from
|
||
the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, discharge the water from the public water
|
||
system into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide intr oduction. 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
|

TURF
|
||
UPGRADE may be used for control of certain pathogens causing foliar, stem, and root diseases, including
|
||
leaf and stem blights, leaf spots, patch diseases, m ildews, anthracnose, fairy rings, molds, and rusts of
|
||
turfgrass plants. UPGRADE may be used to control ce rtain diseases on turf in golf courses, lawns and
|
||
landscape areas around residential, institutional, pu blic, commercial and industrial buildings, parks,
|
||
recreational areas and athletic fields.
|
||
Integrated Pest (Disease) Management (IPM): Sound turf management resulting healthy, vigorous turf
|
||
is the foundation of a good IPM program. Cultural practices such as proper choice of turf variety, nutrient-
|
||
management, proper cutting height, thatch manageme nt, and proper watering, drainage, and moisture
|
||
stress management should be integrated with the use of fungicides to increase turf vigor and reduce the
|
||
susceptibility to disease, immunoassay detection kits and extension service diagnostic services can assist
|
||
in the early and accurate identification of causal organisms and corresponding selection of the proper
|
||
fungicide when required.
|
||
Resistance Management: Some turf disease pathogens are known to have developed resistance to
|
||
products used repeatedly for their control. UPGRADE should be applied at full use rates in a tank mix or
|
||
alternation program with other registered fungicides that have a different mode of action and to which
|
||
|
||
Page 11
|
||
pathogen resistance has not developed. Since UPGRADE is a strobilurin fungicide, avoid alternation with
|
||
other strobilurins, such as kresoxim-methyl and trifloxystrobin. Do not apply more than two [2] sequential
|
||
UPGRADE applications for Gray Leaf Spot and Pythium spp. control. For all other diseases when Gray
|
||
Leaf Spot and Pythium spp. are not present, do not apply more than three sequential applications of
|
||
UPGRADE.
|
||
|
||

ORNAMENTALS
|
||
UPGRADE is recommended for control of certain path ogens causing foliar, aerial, and root diseases,
|
||
including leaf, tip, and flower blights, leaf spots, downy mildew, powdery mildew, anthracnose, and rusts of
|
||
ornamental plants. UPGRADE may be used to contro l listed diseases of herbaceous, deciduous and
|
||
evergreen ornamentals and listed vegetable seedlings and transplants grown in greenhouses, lath houses,
|
||
hoop houses, high tunnel and shadehouses, and herbaceous, deciduous and evergreen ornamentals
|
||
grown in field, container, nurseries, retail nurseries, and other residential and commercial landscape areas.
|
||
Restrictions
|
||
Do not use this product for the production of edible crops or food.
|
||
Do not exceed 2.4 gallons product acre/year or 8 applications/crop/year.
|
||
Do not exceed 600 gallons spray volume per acre for foliar applications.
|
||
Do not exceed 2 pints volume per square foot for drench and crown applications,
|
||
For ornamentals grown in field or nurseries, do not exceed 47 fl oz product/A or 1.1 fl oz/1,000 sq ft
|
||
(equivalent to 0.75 lb ai/A) for foliar sprays applied by groundboom or chemigation.
|
||

|
||
trees) using handheld equipment, do not exceed 0.16 fl oz product (equivalent to 0.0025 lb ai) per gallon.
|
||
For application to greenhouse ornamentals using mechanically pressurized handwands, do not exceed
|
||
0.16 fl oz product (equivalent to 0.0025 lb ai) per gallon.
|
||
Integrated Pest (Disease) Management:
|
||
UPGRADE should be integrated into an overall diseas e management strategy that includes selection of
|
||
varieties with disease tolerance, optimum plant popula tions, proper fertilization, winter and/or spring
|
||
pruning, plant residue management and proper timing and placement of irrigation.
|
||
Resistance Management: Some ornamental disease pathogens are known to have developed resistance
|
||
to fungicides used repeatedly for their control. UPGR ADE should be applied in an alternation or tank mix
|
||
program with other registered fungicides that have a different mode of action and to which pathogen
|
||
resistance has not developed. Do not make more than two (2) sequential applications of UPGRADE before
|
||
alternating with a fungicide of a different mode of action. Do not alternate UPGRADE with other FRAC 11
|
||
or strobilurin fungicides.
|
||
Application Directions: Apply UPGRADE as a broadcast or banded spray targeted at the foliage or crown
|
||
of the plant. Apply to runoff in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of the target plant. Good
|
||
|
||
Page 14
|
||
coverage and wetting of foliage is necessary for best co ntrol. Refer to the label for specific use directions
|
||
for control of certain diseases. Repeat applications at specified intervals (plus alternations for resistance
|
||
management) for as long as required. Applications may be made by ground only.
|
||
UPGRADE applications should begin prior to disease development and continue throughout the season at
|
||
specified intervals following resistance management guidelines. UPGRADE works best when used as part
|
||
of a preventative disease management program.
|
||
Use only surfactants approved for ornamental plants in combination with UPGRADE. Do not use silicone
|
||
based products with Heritage Fungicide due to possibl e phytotoxicity. Always test tank mixes on a small
|
||
group of representative plants prior to broad scale use.
|
||
Apply UPGRADE at use rates of 1.9-7.7 fluid ounces/100 gallons every 7-28 days (or as otherwise specified
|
||
for a specific plant or disease). The addition of a non-silicone-based wetter-sticker at the recommended
|
||
use rate may enhance coverage on hard-to-wet plant foliage.
|
||
Under most conditions and for most diseases, apply 3.9-7.7 fluid ounces/ 100 gallons on a 7-14 day interval.
|
||
Under light to moderate disease pressure, use the lower rates (1.9-3.9 fl oz/100 gallons) on a 7-14 day
|
||
interval or the higher rates (5.8-7.7 fl oz/100 gallons) on a longer 14-28 day interval.
|
||
Under environmental conditions which promote severe disease development, use the higher rates (5.8-7.7
|
||
fl oz/100 gallons) on a 7-14 day interval. Use of UPGRADE as a "rescue" (late curative or eradicant)
|
||
treatment may not always result in satisfactory disease control.
|
||
In addition, do not tank mix UPGRADE with other fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, fertilizers,
|
||
adjuvants, etc, unless local experience indicates that the tank mix is safe to ornamental plants.
|
||
Drench Application: UPGRADE may be applied to control soil borne, seedling, and crown diseases of
|
||
production ornamentals (greenhouse, hoop house, lath house, shadehouse, and field or container grown)
|
||
as a preventative, drench treatment prior to infection. Good coverage of the pre-infection area (root zone,
|
||
root ball, crown, etc.) is necessary for satisfactory control. UPGRADE may be drench applied to container
|
||
grown ornamentals using 0.39-1.7 fluid ounces/100 gall ons of water. Apply 1-2 pints of the solution per
|
||
square foot surface area on a 7-28 day interval. Apply drench prior to infection as healthy roots are
|
||
necessary to optimize product uptake, systemic tr anslocation and disease protection. For resistance
|
||
management do not make more than three sequential drench applications of UPGRADE before alternating
|
||
with a fungicide of a different mode of action. Caut ion should be taken before making application of
|
||
UPGRADE as a drench to small bedding plants in the seedling/plug stage due to possible phytotoxicity. A
|
||
limited quantity of plants should be tested prior to full-scale application.
|
||
Drip Irrigation: UPGRADE may be applied through drip irriga tion systems to potted ornamentals or to
|
||
bedded, field grown ornamentals for soil-borne disease control. Apply 3.9-30.8 fluid ounces UPGRADE per
|
||
acre as a preventative disease application. The soil or potting media should have adequate moisture
|
||
capacity prior to drip application. Terminate drip irrigation at fungicide depletion from the main feed supply
|
||
tank or after 6 hours from start, whichever is shorter. For maximum efficacy, subsequent irrigation (water
|
||
only) should be delayed for at least for 24 hours following drip application.
|
||
Ornamental Use Precautions
|
||
Do not apply UPGRADE to apple or cherry trees (Flowering, Yoshina variety) due to possible phytotoxicity.
|
||
Furthermore, do not use spray equipment that has applied UPGRADE for use in these sensitive crops due
|
||
to possible phytotoxicity from residue remaining in the sprayer. UPGRADE may be applied to certain
|
||
varieties of crabapple for control of apple scab. UP GRADE has been shown to be safer when applied to
|
||
the species and varieties listed in Table 4. However, due to the large number of genera, species, and
|
||
varieties of crabapple, it is impossible to test every one for tolerance to UPGRADE. The professional user
|
||
should conduct small scale testing to insure plant safety prior to broadscale commercial use on plant genera
|
||
and species not listed on this label.
|
||
|

PLANT SAFETY: UPGRADE has been shown to be safe when applied to the ornamental plants listed in
|
||
Tables 2 and 3. However, due to the large number of genera, species and varieties of ornamental and
|
||
nursery plants, it is impossible to test every one for tolerance to UPGRADE. Neither the manufacturer nor
|
||
the seller has determined whether or not UPGRADE can be used safely on genera, species, or varieties
|
||
of ornamental and nursery plants not specified on this label. The professional user should conduct small
|
||
scale testing to insure plant safety prior to broad scale commercial use on plant genera and species not
|
||
listed in this label. In addition, do not tank mix UPGRADE with other fungicides, insecticides, herbicides,
|
||
fertilizer, adjuvants, etc, unless local experience indicates that the tank mix is safe to ornamental plants.
|
||
Do not apply UPGRADE to certain apple, crabapple, or cherry trees due to possible phytotoxicity.
|
||
Furthermore, do not use spray equipment that has applied UPGRADE for use in these sensitive crops
|
||
due to possible phytotoxicity from residue remaining in the sprayer.
|
||
Tolerant Ornamental Plants: UPGRADE has been found to be safe when applied to the plants listed in
