• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum,
using tobacco, or using the toilet.
• Remove ciothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets
inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product.
Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon
as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
clothing.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to birds, mammals, fish and aquatic
invertebrates. Drift or runoff may be hazardous to aquatic
organisms in water adjacent to treated areas. DO NOT
apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is
present, or to intertidarareas below the mean high water
mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of
equipment wash water or rinsate.
DO NOT discharge effluent containing this product into
lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters
unless in accordance with the requirements of a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
and the permitting authority has been notified in writing
prior to discharge. DO NOT discharge effluent containing
this product to sewer systems without previously notifying
the local sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance,
contact your State Water Board or Regional Office of the
EPA.
This product is toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment or
residues on blooming crops or weeds. DO NOT apply this
product if bees are visiting the treatment area.
Groundwater Advisory
This chemical has properties and characteristics associat-
ed with chemicals detected in groundwater. The use of this
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
where the water table is shallow, may result in groundwater
contamination.
Surface Water Advisory
Metconazole and pyraclostrobin may impact surface water
quality through spray and runoff of rain water. This product
has a high potential for runoff for several months or more
after application. Poorly draining soils or soils with shallow
water tables are more prone to produce runoff that con-
tains 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. Sound erosion control practices will
reduce this product's contribution to surface water
contamination.
Directions For Use
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a man-
ner inconsistent with its labeling. DO NOT apply this
product in a way that will contact workers or other per-
sons, either directly or through drift. Only protected
handlers may be in the area during application. For any
requirements specific to your state or tribe, consult the
agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

Product Information
Multiva™ fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide con-
taining two active ingredients, pyraclostrobin and
metconazole. Multiva provides systemic, curative and
long-lasting residual control of target plant diseases.
To maximize disease control, apply Multiva in a regularly
scheduled protective spray program and use in a rotation
program with other fungicides.
Preventative applications of Multiva optimize disease con-
trol resulting in improved plant health. The increase in plant
health comes from the combined effect of disease control
(including fungal diseases listed in Crop-specific directions),
improved growth efficiency and improved stress tolerance.
Overall increased plant health may result in an improve-
ment in crop growth and crop quality as well as increased
crop yields.
Information regarding the contents and levels of metals in
this product is available on the Internet at
http://www.aapfco.org/metals.htm.
Multiva is not for use in greenhouse or transplant
production.
Mode of Action
Each of the components in Multiva provides a different
mode of action against plant pathogenic fungi.
Pyraclostrobin belongs to the group of respiration inhibitors
classified by the US EPA and Canada PMRA as Quinone
Outside Inhibitors (Qol) or target site of action Group 11
fungicides. Metconazole inhibits demethylation of sterol
biosynthesis (DMI), disrupting cell membrane synthesis or
target site of action Group 3 fungicides.
Resistance Management
Multiva contains pyraclostrobin, a Group 11 fungicide,
and is effective against pathogens resistant to fungicides
with modes of action different from those of Qol fungicides
(target site Group 11), such as dicarboximides, sterol
inhibitors, benzimidazoles, or phenylamides.
Fungal isolates resistant to Group 11 fungicides, such as
pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, fluoxastrobin, trifloxystrobin,
and kresoxim-methyl, can eventually dominate the fungal
population if Group 11 fungicides are used predominantly
and repeatedly in the same field in successive years as the
primary method of control for the targeted pathogen
species. This can result in reduction of disease control by
Multiva or other Group 11 fungicides.
To maintain the performance of Multiva in the field,
DO NOT exceed the maximum seasonal use rate or the
total number of applications of Multiva per season and the
maximum number of applications of Multiva stated in
Restrictions and Limitations - All Crops and Table 2.
Multiva™ fungicide Crop-specific Requirements.
Follow the label instructions for use of Multiva or other
target site of action Group 11 fungicides that have a similar
site of action on the same pathogens.
Resistance Management Advisory
The following instructions may delay the development of
fungicide resistance:
1. Tank Mixtures - Use tank mixtures with effective fungi-
cides from different target site of action groups that are
registered/permitted for the same use and that are effec-
tive against the pathogens of concern.
Use at least the minimum labeled rates of each fungicide
in the tank mix.
2. IPM - Integrate Multiva into an overall disease and pest
management program. Follow cultural practices known
to reduce disease development. Consult your local
extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or BASF
representative for additional IPM strategies established
for your area. Multiva can be used in agricultural exten-
sion advisory (disease forecasting) programs which
recommend application timing based on environmental
factors favorable for .disease development.
3. Monitoring - Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in
the disease management program against the targeted
pathogen and record other factors that may influence
fungicide performance and/or disease development.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Clean spray equipment thoroughly before and after apply-
ing this product, particularly if a product with the potential
to injure crops was used prior to Multiva.
Directions For Use Through Sprinkler
Irrigation Systems
Sprayer Preparation
Chemical tank and injector system must be thoroughly
cleaned. Flush system with clean water.
Application Instructions
Apply Multiva at rates and timings as required in this label.
Use Directions for Sprinkler Irrigation Applications
• Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation sys-
tems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side
[wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irri-
gation systems. DO NOT apply this product through any
other type of irrigation system.
• Add this product to the pesticide supply tank containing
sufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by the
injection equipment. In continuous moving systems,
inject this product/water mixture continuously, applying
the labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT exceed
1/2 inch (13,577 gallons) per acre. In stationary or non-
continuous moving systems, inject the product/water
mixture in the last 15 to 30 minutes of each set allowing
sufficient time for all of the required pesticide to be
applied by all the sprinkler heads and applying the
rlabeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT apply when
wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for
treatment. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal
pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uni-
form distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage of
foliage is required for good control. Good agitation should
be maintained during the entire application period.
• If you have questions about calibration, you should con-
tact state extension service specialists, equipment
manufacturers or other experts.
• 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.
• 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 func-
tional, 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 with-
drawn 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 function-
al pressure switch that 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.
• Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all
lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. A
person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and
responsible for its operation, or under supervision of the
responsible person, shall shut the system down and
make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
• 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.
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 sys-
tems 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 pesti-
cide 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.
3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function-
al, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the
flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.
4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a function-
al, 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 with-
drawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is
either automatically or manually shut down.
5. 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.
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 fit-
ted with a system interlock.
Application Instructions
Apply Multiva™ fungicide rates as instructed by Table 2.
Multiva™ fungicide Crop-specific Requirements.
Apply Multiva with ground sprayer, aerial equipment or
through sprinkler irrigation equipment. Check equipment
frequently for calibration.
Under low-level disease conditions, use minimum applica-
tion rates. For severe or threatening disease conditions,
use maximum application rates and shortened intervals.
Ground Application
DO NOT use less than. 5 gallons per acre (gpa) sray vol-
ume for ground applications. Thorough coverage of foliage,
blooms, and fruit is required for optimum disease control.
The use of a nonionic surfactant at the lowest labeled rate
may be used to improve spray coverage. Refer to the adju-
vant product label for specific use directions.
DO NOT use adjuvants that contain methylated seed oil,
crop oil concentrate or crop oil with emulsifier properties.
For ground application .to corn, refer to the Adjuvant or
Crop Oil Use Limitations on Corn.
Aerial Application
For aerial application in New York State, DO NOT
apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but
not limited to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams,
* 11marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fish
ponds).
DO NOT apply when conditions favor drift from target
area. DO NOT use less than 2 gallons per acre (gpa) spray
volume on barley, oats, rye, soybean, and sugarcane.
DO NOT use less than 5 gallons per acre (gpa) spray vol-
ume on cotton and sugar beets.
Aerial applications of Multiva™ fungicide can be made to
corn, triticale, and wheat in water volumes of 1 or more
gallons per acre (gpa) of spray solution. A combination of
spray nozzles and appropriate pressure should be selected
to provide ASABE Standard S571.1 droplet size category
of fine (Dyo.5 of > 180 urn) or coarser than fine. When appli-
cations are made with a cross-wind, the swath needs to be
displaced downwind. The applicator should compensate
for this displacement at the downwind edge of the
application area by adjusting the path of the aircraft. Aerial
applicator needs to leave at least half swath unsprayed at
the downwind edge of the treated area.
For all aerial application volumes (gpa), the use of a non-
ionic surfactant at the lowest labeled rate can be used to
improve spray coverage. Refer to the adjuvant product
label for specific use directions. Refer to Adjuvant or Crop
Oil Use Limitations on Corn. DO NOT use adjuvants
that contain methylated seed oil, crop oil concentrate or
crop oil with emulsifier properties. Select spray nozzles,
pumping pressure, and sprayer height to provide medium-
to-fine spray droplets that penetrate throughout the crop
canopy. Spray calibration must be conducted to confirm
spray droplet sizes. Continue to monitor spray application
(including weather conditions) to assure proper droplet size
and canopy penetration.
Adjuvant or Crop Oil Use Limitations on
Corn
Adjuvant crop damage can occur when an adjuvant or
crop oil is used after the V8 stage and before the VT stage
(the VT stage is defined as when the tassel's last branch is
completely visible outside the whorl). If an adjuvant or crop
oil is used after the V8 stage and before the VT stage, the
grower and user are responsible for contacting the adju-
vant source (adjuvant distributor, retailer, or manufacturer)
for advice and confirmation that the adjuvant has been
tested and proven to be safe for application from V8 to VT
corn stage. Refer to adjuvant and/or crop oil labels for spe-
cific use directions and restrictions. Always follow the most
restrictive label.
Another fungicide or an insecticide may be included in the
tank mix if needed and labeled for use on corn. Refer to
the tank mix pesticide product labels for specific use direc-
tions and restrictions. Always follow the most restrictive
label.
Spray Drift Management
DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond area
intended for application. Conditions which may contribute
to drift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction,
spray nozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size,
temperature/humidity, etc. Contact your state extension
agent for spray drift prevention guidelines in your area. All
aerial and ground application equipment must be properly
maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.-
Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibil-
ity of the applicator.
Aerial Application Methods and Equipment
The interaction of many equipment-related and weather-
related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The
applicator and the grower are responsible for considering
all these factors when making decisions.
DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift to
endangered species, unprotected persons, to food, forage,
or other plantings that might be damaged, or crops thereof
rendered unfit for sale, use or consumption can occur.
DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet
above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required
for aircraft safety.
The following drift management requirements must be fol-
lowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial
applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements
DO NOT apply to forestry applications, public health uses
or to applications using dry formulations.
1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom
must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or
90% of the rotor blade diameter.
2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the air
stream and never be pointed downward more than
45 degrees.
Where states have more stringent regulations, they must
be observed.
Information on Droplet Size
The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply
large droplets. Use the largest droplet size consistent with
acceptable efficacy. Applying larger droplets reduces drift
potential but will not prevent drift if applications are made
improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions
(see Wind; Temperature and Humidity; and
Temperature Inversions).
Controlling droplet size:
• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest
practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows
produce larger droplets.
• Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer's
recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower
pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow
rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of
increasing pressure.
• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz-
zles that provide uniform coverage.
• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the spray
is released parallel to the air stream produces larger
droplets than other orientations and is recommended
practice. Significant deflection from the horizontal will
reduce droplet size and increase drift potential.
• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for the
intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower
spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using
low-drift nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles oriented straight
back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.
Wind
DO NOT apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Drift
potential is lowest when wind speed does not exceed
10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and
equipment type, determine drift potential at any given
speed.
Avoid applications below 2 mph due to variable wind direc-
tion and high inversion potential. Local terrain can influence
wind patterns. Every applicator must be familiar with local
wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.
Temperature and Humidity
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evapora-
tion of spray droplets and, therefore, the likelihood of
increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of
low humidity and/or high temperatures. When making
applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to
produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation.
Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are
both hot and dry.
Temperature Inversions
Applications must not occur during a temperature inversion
because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions
restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended
droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can
move in unpredictable directions due to the light, variable
winds common during inversions. Temperature inversions
are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude
and 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; however, if fog is not present,
inversions can also be identified by the movement of
smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke genera-
tor. 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.
Sensitive Areas
Only apply the pesticide when the potential for drift to adja-
cent sensitive areas (e.g. bodies of water or nontarget
crops) is minimal and when wind is blowing away from the
sensitive areas.
Additives and General
Tank Mixing Information
Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants
may improve the performance of Multiva™ fungicide.
However, under some conditions, the use of additives or
adjuvants with Multiva can cause adverse phytotoxicity.
The addition of a nitrogen-based fertilizer may result in
some crop leaf .burn from the fertilizer. The addition of an
emulsifiable concentrate (EC)-based insecticide can result
in some crop leaf burn.
DO NOT tank mix with products containing a prohibition
against tank mixing. Follow the most restrictive labeling
requirements of any tank mix product.
Multiva can be tank mixed with most recommended fungi-
cides. However, all varieties and cultivars have not been
tested with possible tank mix combinations. Local condi-
tions can also influence crop tolerance and may not match
those under which BASF has conducted testing. Physical
incompatibility, reduced disease control, or crop injury may
result from mixing Multiva with other products. Therefore,
before using any tank mix (fungicides, insecticides,
herbicides, liquid fertilizers, biological control products,
adjuvants and additives), test the combination on a small
portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phyto-
toxic response will not occur as a result of application.
Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural authori-
ties for more information concerning additives.
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF
recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and
Distributors Association certified adjuvant.
Mixing Order
1. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer
tank 3/4 full of clean water.
2. Agitation - Maintain constant agitation throughout mix-
ing and application.
3. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly after
each component has been added.
4. Products in PVA bags - Place any product contained
in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait until
all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the
product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before
continuing.
5. Water-dispersible products (such as Multiva, dry
flowables, wettable powders, suspension concentrates,
or suspo-emulsions)
6. Water-soluble products
7. Emulsifiable concentrates (or oil concentrates when
applicable)
8. Water-soluble additives (such as ammonium sulfate
(AMS) or urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) when applicable)

Ground Applications Directed or
Banded Sprays
The application rates shown in the following tables pertain
to both aerial and ground-(broadcast) methods of applica-
tion. Multiva may also be applied as a directed or banded
spray over the rows or plant beds with alleys or row mid-
dles left upsprayed. For such uses, reduce the labeled
Multiva rate in proportion to the area actually sprayed.
This adjustment is necessary to avoid applying the product
at use rates higher than permitted on this label.
Use the following formula to determine the broadcast
equivalent rate for applying directed or banded sprays:
sprayed bed width + unsprayed row middles
= total row width
sprayed bed width in inches broadcast rateX
total row width in inches treated acres

Application Directions for Early Season Disease Control. Apply 6 to 9 fl ozs/A of Multiva either in combination
with a herbicide application or when conditions favor disease development prior to flag leaf emergence. When the early
season application is used, a second Multiva application (6 to 9 fl ozs/A) may be required to protect the emerged flag
leaf. Environmental conditions and disease pressure at the time of flag leaf emergence are factors to determine the
Multiva rate for the second application.
The minimum retreatment interval (RTI) is 6 days.
DO NOT harvest barley hay within 14 days of last'application.
The combination of an early season spray plus a second regular season application after flag leaf emergence must not
exceed 18 fl ozs/A per season.
Crop Tolerance. Under certain environmental conditions, Multiva demonstrates some phytotoxicity when mixed with
EC formulated herbicides or insecticides and/or fertilizers. The possibility of phytotoxicity increases if applications are
made under cool, cloudy conditions that persist for several days following application. Multiva applications with bro-
moxynil containing products can result in phytotoxicity if applied under cool, wet conditions.
Specific Use Requirements. Apply Multiva plus herbicide/insecticide tank mixes by air in a minimum of 5 gallons per
acre (gpa) total spray volume. If applied by ground, apply a minimum of 10 gpa. Lower gpa applications can increase
the risk of phytotoxicity. DO NOT use adjuvants that contain methylated seed oil, crop oil concentrate or crop oil with
emulsifier properties. DO NOT apply Multiva if the final spray solution contains fertilizer at a concentration greaterthan
20% on a v/v basis. DO NOT use early season Multiva applications in bromoxynil based herbicide tank mixes in barley.
*Early season disease control is not registered for use in California.

Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to birds, mammals, fish and
aquatic invertebrates. Drift or runoff may be hazardous
to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated
areas. DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas
where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas
below the mean high water mark. DO NOT
contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash
water or rinsate.
Groundwater Advisory
This chemical has properties and characteristics
associated with chemicals detected in groundwater.
The use of this chemical in areas where soils are
permeable, particularly where the water table is
shallow, may result in groundwater contamination.
Surface Water Advisory
Metconazole and pyraclostrobin may impact surface
water quality through spray and runoff of rain water.
This product has a high potential for runoff for several
months or more after application. Poorly draining soils
or soils with shallow water tables are more prone to
produce runoff that contains this product. A level, well-
maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas
towhich this product is applied and surface water
features, such as ponds, streams, and springs, will
reduce the potential for contamination of water from
