USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should: Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
Remove clothing 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 mammals, fish, and aquatic invertebrates.
Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high
water mark. Runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not apply where runoff is
likely to occur. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Ground Water Advisory: Tebuconazole is known to leach through soil under certain conditions as a result of
product use. Use of this product in areas where soils are penneable, particularly where the water table is shallow,
may result in ground-water contamination.
Surface Water 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 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.. 1:'ill t
reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by
avoiding a lications when rainfall is forecasted within 48 hours. I' ( , (

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USING
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, 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.
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part
170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests,
nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training,
decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and
exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and
restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by
the Worker Protection Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI). The REI for
each crop is listed in the directions for use associated with that crop.
Exemption: The Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the
treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated.
PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that
involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: coveralls over long­
sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical-resistant gloves made from any waterproof material, chemical­
resistant footwear plus socks, and chemical-resistant headgear for over head exposures.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION
Apply Topsin XTR with ground or aerial equipment using sufficient volume of spray to provide thorough
coverage. Unless specified otherwise in the crop-specific directions, for aerial applications use a minimum of
5 gallons/acre and for ground applications use a minimum of 20 gallons/acre. Check equipment calibration
frequently. Continuous agitation is required to keep the material in suspension.
Complete coverage and uniform application are essential for the most effective results, especially when lower spray
volumes are applied. If necessary, increase the spray volume per acre for complete crop coverage. Higher spray
volume will generally result in better coverage and disease control. See local State Extension Service
recommendations for application schedules.
SPRAY EQUIPMENT
Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. Calibrate sprayer before use. Check
nozzle manufacturer's recommendations.
Use a pump with capacity to: (1) maintain at least 35-40 psi at nozzles, and (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.
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.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
Do not make applications when conditions favor drift beyond the target application area. When drift may be a
problem, take measures to reduce drift, including:
1. Do not spray if wind speeds are or become excessive. Do not spray if wind speed is 15 mph or greater. If
non-target crops are located downwind, use caution when spraying if wind is present.
2. Use caution when conditions are favorable for drift (high temperatures and or low relative humidity).
3. Do not apply when a temperature inversion exists. If inversion conditions are suspected, consult with local
weather services before making an application.
3
MIXING AND COMPATIBILITY INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing: Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Fill spray tank half full and add
recommended amount of Topsin XTR into the spray tank while filling with water to the desired level. Operate the
agitator while mixing. Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. If other
materials are added to the spray tank, Topsin XTR should be thoroughly dispersed prior to the addition of other
materials. Begin application of the solution when the Topsin XTR has completely dispersed in the mix water.
Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied. Do not let spray mixture stand overnight in the spray
tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area.
Compatibility: To determine the compatibility ofTopsin XTR with other products, the following procedure should
be followed: Pour the recommended proportions of the products into a suitable container of water, mix thoroughly
and allow to stand at least five minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be re-mixed readily, the mixture
is considered physically compatible.
THE CROP SAFETY OF ALL POTENTIAL TANK MIXES INCLUDING ADDITIVES AND OTHER
PESTICIDES ON ALL CROPS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED. BEFORE APPLYING ANY TANK MIXTURE NOT
SPECIFICALLY RECOMMENDED ON THIS LABEL, THE SAFETY TO THE TARGET CROP SHOULD BE
CONFIRMED.
INTEGRATED PEST (DISEASE) MANAGEMENT
Topsin XTR 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. Consult your
local agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area. Topsin XTR may be used in
State Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend application timing based on
environmental factors favorable for disease development.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Topsin XTR is a mixture of Group 1 (thiophanate-methyl) and Group 3 (tebuconazole) fungicides. 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.

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC
AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR
NATURAL PONDS, AND ESTUARIES.
Apply only during alternate years in fields adjacent to aquatic areas listed above.
Do not apply by ground or air within 100 feet of aquatic areas listed above.
Do not cultivate within 10 feet of an aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.
Spray Drift Management: For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to
minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used, and must not
exceed 75% of the wingspan or rotor diameter.
Use the largest droplet size consistent with pest control. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by
appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible and by avoiding
excessive spray boom pressure. Apply in a minimum of 5 gallons of spray solution per acre by aircraft spray
equipment.
Spray should be released at the lowest possible height consistent with good pest control and flight safety.
Applications more than 10 feet above the crop canopy should be avoided.
Make aerial or ground applications when wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10
mph). Do not apply when wind velocity exceeds 15 mph. Avoid applications when wind gusts approach 15 mph.
Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is
toward the aquatic area.
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of
spray drift to aquatic areas. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperature.
Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. Inversions are characterized by stable air
and increasing temperatures with height above the ground. Mist or fog may indicate the presence of an inversion in
humid areas. The applicator may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and observing a smoke
layer near the ground surface.
ROTATIONAL CROPS
Treated areas may be replanted with any crop specified on this label as soon as practical after last application. Any
crop not specified on this label may be planted into treated areas 120 days after last application.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage and disposal.
PESTICIDE STORAGE: Store in the original container in a dry area. Do not store in a manner where
cross-contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food or feed could occur. If spilled during storage or
handling, absorb with sand or other inert material and dispose of absorbent in accordance with the Pesticide
Disposal Instructions listed below.
PESTICIDE DISPOSAL: Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray
mixture, or rinsate is a violation of Federal Law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of according to label
instructions, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste
representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance.
CONTAINER HANDLING:
Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container.
Clean container promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents
into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill
the container ~ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application
equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow
begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. Then offer for recycling if available or
puncture and dispose of in a sanitary landfill, or by incineration, or, if allowed by State and local authorities,
by burning. Ifbumed, stay out of smoke.
