Precautionary Statements
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed. Harmful if inhaled. Avoid
contact with skin or clothing. Avoid breathing spray mist.
Remove and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and
before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or
using the toilet.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material including barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils,
nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils, or
viton ≥ 14 mils.
• Shoes plus socks
Follow the manufacturers instructions for cleaning and
maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables
exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE
separately from other laundry.
Engineering Controls Statement
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air-
craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the
Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesti-
cides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE
requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in
the WPS.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should:
• Remove clothing/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 fish and aquatic invertebrates.
Drift and 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 washwaters or rinsate.
This product may impact surface water quality due to run-
off of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining
soils and soils with shallow groundwater.
Surface Water Advisory
This product is classified as having high potential for
reaching aquatic sediment via 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 including ponds, streams, and
springs will reduce the potential loading of this active ingre-
dient or its degradates from runoff water and sediment.
Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applica-
tions when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48 hours.
Sound erosion control practices will reduce this products
potential to reach aquatic sediment via runoff.
FIRST AID
If swallowed
• Call a poison control center or doctor immediately for treatment advice.
• DO NOT induce vomiting unless told to by a poison control center or doctor.
• DO NOT give any liquid to the person.
• DO NOT give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
If inhaled
• Move person to fresh air.
• If person is not breathing, call 911 or an ambulance; then give artificial respiration, prefer-
ably by mouth to mouth, if possible.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for further treatment advice.
If on skin
• Take off contaminated clothing.
• Rinse skin immediately with plenty of water for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Call a poison control center or doctor for treatment advice.

Product Information
This package contains NexicorTM Xemium® brand
fungicide, an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) containing the
active ingredients fluxapyroxad, pyraclostrobin and
propiconazole. To maximize disease control, apply
Nexicor in a regularly scheduled protective spray program
and use in a rotation program with other fungicides.
Preventive applications optimize disease control, 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 direc-
tions), improved growth efficiency and improved stress
tolerance. Overall increased plant health may result in an
improvement in crop growth and crop quality as well as
increased crop yields.
Because of its high specific activity, Nexicor has good
residual activity against target fungi.
Information regarding the contents and levels of metals in
this product is available on the Internet at
http://www.aapfco.org/metals.htm.
Modes of Action
Fluxapyroxad, pyraclostrobin, and propiconazole, the
active ingredients of Nexicor, belong to three classes of
fungicides, the succinate-dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibitors,
strobilurins or Quinone Outside Inhibitors (QoI) and the
demethylation inhibitors of sterol biosynthesis are classified
by the U.S. EPA and Canada PMRA as target site of action
Group 7, Group 11, and Group 3 fungicides, respectively.
Resistance Management
For resistance management, please note that Nexicor
contains a premix of a Group 3 (propiconazole), Group 7
(fluxapyroxad), and Group 11 (pyraclostrobin) fungicides.
Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally
resistant to Nexicor and other Group 3, Group 7 or
Group 11 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest con-
trol may occur over time if these fungicides are used
repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-
management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of
the following steps:
• Avoid application of more than the total number of appli-
cations of Nexicor as stated in Tables 1 and 2. Rotate
the use of Nexicor or other Group 3 or Group 7 or
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 equally effective on the target pest when such a
use is permitted. Use at least the minimum labeled rates
of each fungicide in the tank mix.
• Adopt an integrated disease and pest management pro-
gram 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 develop-
ment, 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 treatment area for lack of efficacy that might
indicate possible resistance development.
5
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop
advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-
management and/or IPM recommendations for specific
crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance
contact your local BASF representative, extension spe-
cialist or certified crop advisor.
Application Instructions
Apply specified rates of NexicorTM Xemium® brand
fungicide as instructed in Table 2. NexicorTM Xemium®
brand fungicide Crop-specific Directions . Nexicor
can be applied by ground and aerial application. For best
results, thorough coverage of plant materials is required.
Nexicor can also be applied through sprinkler irrigation
equipment. Check equipment frequently for calibration.
Under low-level disease conditions, the minimum applica-
tion rates can be used while maximum application rates
and shortened spray schedules are advised for severe or
threatening disease conditions.
Cleaning Spray Equipment
Spraying equipment must be cleaned thoroughly before
and after applying this product, particularly if a product
with potential to injure crops was used prior to Nexicor.
Ground Application
Apply Nexicor in sufficient water to ensure thorough cover-
age of foliage, bloom, and fruit. Thorough coverage is
required for optimum disease control. Complete coverage of
the stem, all the way down to the soil, is required for sup-
pression of soilborne diseases of the stem. See Mandatory
Spray Drift Directions for further instructions.
Instructions for Directed or Banded Crop
Sprays
The application rates shown in Table 1. NexicorTM
Xemium® brand fungicide Restrictions and
Limitations Overview and Table 2. NexicorTM
Xemium® brand fungicide Crop-specific Directions
on this label reflect the amount of product to be applied
uniformly over an acre of ground on a broadcast basis. In
some crops, Nexicor may be used as a directed or band-
ed spray over the rows or plant beds with the alleys or row
middles left unsprayed. For such uses, reduce the rate of
Nexicor in proportion to the area actually sprayed. Make
this adjustment to avoid applying the product at use rates
higher than permitted on this label. See Mandatory
Spray Drift Directions for further instructions.
The following formula may be used to determine the broad-
cast equivalent rate for doing directed or banded sprays:
sprayed bed
width + unsprayed row
middle width = total row
width
band width
in inches X broadcast rate
per acre = band rate
per acrerow width
in inches
Example: A directed spray application will be made to
45-inch plant beds that are separated by 15 inches of
unsprayed row middles.
45 inches

The calculation to determine the appropriate equivalent
rate of product to use for this situation based on a label
broadcast rate of 7 fluid ounces product/acre follows:
45 inches
band width X 7 fl ozs per acre
Nexicor =
5.25 fl ozs

Aerial Application
For aerial application in New York State, DO NOT
apply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (including,
but not limited to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams,
marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial
fishponds).
For all crops listed in this label, aerial application can be
made where applications are not possible using ground
equipment. Thorough coverage is required to obtain opti-
mum disease control. Avoid applications under conditions
when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when spray
drift may occur. DO NOT use less than 2 gallons of spray
solution per acre. DO NOT apply Nexicor in spray solu-
tions that are less than 50% water by volume. Thorough
coverage is required for optimum disease control. The
reduced spray volumes used in aerial applications may
result in physical incompatibility, reduced disease control,
or crop injury from Nexicor applications, particularly when
tank mixed with other products. Therefore, before making
aerial applications test the spray on a small portion of the
crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will
not occur as a result of application. See Mandatory
Spray Drift Directions for further instructions.
Mandatory Spray Drift Directions
Ground Application (spray boom)
• Apply with the nozzle height recommended by the
manufacturer, but no more than 3 feet above the
ground or plant canopy.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at
the application site.
• DO NOT apply during temperature inversions.
Ground Application (hand-held)
• Take precautions to minimize spray drift.
(continued)
6
Aerial Application
• DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet
above the ground or plant canopy, unless a greater
application height is necessary for pilot safety.
• Applicators are required to use a medium or coarser
droplet size (ASABE S572.1).
• DO NOT apply when wind speeds exceed 15 mph at
the application site. If the wind speed is greater than
10 mph, the boom length must not exceed 65% of the
wingspan for fixed wing aircraft or 75% of the rotor
diameter for helicopters. Otherwise, the boom length
must not exceed 75% of the wingspan for fixed wing
aircraft or 90% of the rotor diameter for helicopters.
• Applicators must use 1/2 swath displacement upwind
at the downwind edge of the field.
• Nozzles must be oriented so the spray is directed
toward the back of the aircraft.
• 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 environmen-
tal 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
• 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.
• Pressure - Use the lowest spray pressure recommend-
ed for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume and
droplet size.
• Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for
the intended application. Consider using nozzles
designed to reduce drift.
Controlling Droplet Size - Aircraft
• Adjust Nozzles - Follow nozzle manufacturers recom-
mendations 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 plants 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.
Temperature Inversion
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Tem-
perature 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 applica-
tions 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.
Sensitive Areas
The pesticide must only be applied when the potential for
drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. bodies of water or
non-target crops) is minimal and when wind is blowing
away from the sensitive areas.
Directions for Use Through Irrigation
Systems
Clean chemical tank and injector system thoroughly. Flush
system with clean water.
Sprinkler Irrigation Applications
• This product can be applied through sprinkler irrigation
systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow,
side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move
irrigation systems equipment. DO NOT apply this prod-
uct through any other type of irrigation system.
• Add Nexicor
TM Xemium® brand fungicide to the pes-
ticide supply tank containing sufficient water to maintain
a continuous flow by the injection equipment. In continu-
ous 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) of water
per acre. In stationary or noncontinuous moving sys-
tems, 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 labeled 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 nonuniform distribution of treated water.
Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good
7
control. Maintain good agitation during the entire applica-
tion period.
• Contact a state extension service specialist, equipment
manufacturers or other experts for calibration questions.
• The system must contain a functional check valve, vacu-
um 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, which 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, including 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 the supervision of
the responsible person, shall shut the system down and
make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
• DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including green-
house systems) used for pesticide application to a public
water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safe-
ty devices for public water systems are in place.
• 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 sys-
tems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone,
backflow 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, discharge
the water from the public water system 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 res-
ervoir 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, including 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.
Additives and Tank Mixing Information
It is the pesticide users responsibility to ensure that all
products are registered for the intended use. Read and
follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and direc-
tions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing.
Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use
and precautionary statements of each product in the tank
mixture.
Nexicor
TM Xemium® brand fungicide can be tank
mixed with advised fungicides, insecticides, herbicides,
liquid fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants, and
additives as specified in Table 2. Nexicor
TM Xemium®
brand fungicide Crop-specific Directions .
Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants
may improve the performance of Nexicor. However, all
varieties and cultivars have not been tested with possible
tank mix combinations. Local conditions 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 Nexicor 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 phytotoxic response will
not occur as a result of application.
When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF
advises the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributers
Association certified adjuvant.
8
Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural
authorities for more information concerning
additives.
If tank mixtures are used, adhere to restrictions due to
rates, label instructions and precautions on all labels.
Compatibility Test for Tank Mix
Components
Add components in the following sequence using 2 tea-
spoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of label
rate per acre:
1. Water - For 100 gallons per acre spray volume, use
16 cups (1 gallon) of water. For other spray volumes,
adjust rates accordingly. Use only water from the intend-
ed source at the source temperature.
2. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable
powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-
emulsions) - Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles.
3. Water-soluble products - Cap the jar and invert
10 cycles.
4. Emulsifiable concentrates (oil concentrate or methyl-
ated seed oil when applicable) - Cap the jar and invert
10 cycles.
5. Water-soluble additives - Cap the jar and invert
10 cycles.
6. Let the solution stand for 15 minutes.
7. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The
spray solution must not have free oil on the surface, nor
fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor thick
(clabbered) texture. DO NOT use any spray solution that
could clog spray nozzles.
Mixing Order
Make sure that each component is thoroughly mixed and
suspended before adding tank mix partners. Maintain con-
stant agitation during mixing application.
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 (including dry flowables,
wettable powders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-
emulsions) - For containers 5 gallons or less, shake
well prior to use. For containers greater than
5 gallons, recirculate prior to use. Consult BASF
Representatives for additional information regarding agi-
tation and recirculation.
6. Water-soluble products
7. Emulsifiable concentrates (including Nexicor
TM
Xemium® brand fungicide or oil concentrates when
applicable)
8. Water-soluble additives (including ammonium sulfate
[AMS] or urea ammonium nitrate [UAN] when applicable)

Application Directions. Nexicor does not control Fusarium head blight (head scab) or prevent the reductions in
grain quality that can result from this disease. When head blight is a concern, growers must manage this disease with
fungicides that are labeled for and effective in managing this disease, and with cultural practices like crop rotation and
plowing to reduce crop residues that serve as an inoculum source.
DO NOT harvest barley hay or feed green-chopped barley within 7 days of last application.
DO NOT apply more than 26 fl ozs per acre per year of Nexicor (0.051 lb ai fluxapyroxad, 0.339 lb ai pyraclostrobin,
and 0.211 lb ai propiconazole). DO NOT make more than two (2) sequential applications of Nexicor before alternating
to a labeled non-Group 7, non-Group 11, or non-Group 3 fungicide.
DO NOT apply more than 0.35 lb ai pyraclostrobin, 0.179 lb ai fluxapyroxad, or 0.22 lb ai propiconazole per acre per

*
Not registered for use in California.
** For early season control of net blotch, Septoria leaf and glume blotch, spot blotch, and tan spot when conditions
favor disease development, apply 3.5 fl ozs per acre of Nexicor either in combination with a herbicide application
or when conditions favor disease development. When the 3.5 fl ozs early season application rate is used, a second
application of Nexicor may be required to protect the emerged flag leaf. Environmental conditions for disease or
current disease pressure at the time of flag leaf emergence must be used to determine the Nexicor rate for the
second application. For high disease pressure, use the higher rate of Nexicor.

development
and continue on
a 7- to 14-day
interval if condi-
tions are
conducive for
disease devel-
opment. Use
the higher rate
and shorter

Application Directions. DO NOT feed or graze bean forage, bean hay, pea vines, and pea hay within 14 days after
the last application.
DO NOT apply more than 22 fl ozs per acre per year of Nexicor (0.043 lb ai fluxapyroxad, 0.287 lb ai pyraclostrobin,
and 0.179 lb ai propiconazole). To limit the potential for development of resistance, DO NOT make more than two
(2) sequential applications of Nexicor before alternating to a labeled non-Group 7, non-Group 11, or non-Group 3
fungicide.
DO NOT apply more than 0.35 lb ai pyraclostrobin, 0.179 lb ai fluxapyroxad, or 0.34 lb ai propiconazole per acre per
year from all product sources.
On certain varieties Nexicor may cause a puckering to the leaf surface or increased leaf greening that do not affect
yields.
* Not registered for use in California.
** Not for use on cowpea cultivars intended for livestock feeding only.

maximize yield
potential it is
important to pro-
tect the flag leaf.
Apply Nexicor
immediately after
flag leaf emer-
gence, no later
than the begin-
ning of flowering
(Feekes 10.5,
Zadoks 59).

Application Directions. DO NOT harvest wheat hay or feed green-chopped wheat within 7 days of last application.
DO NOT apply more than 26 fl ozs per acre per year of Nexicor (0.051 lb ai fluxapyroxad, 0.339 lb ai pyraclostrobin,
and 0.211 lb ai propiconazole). DO NOT make more than two (2) sequential applications of Nexicor before alternating
to a labeled non-Group 7, non-Group 11, or non-Group 3 fungicide.
DO NOT apply more than 0.35 lb ai pyraclostrobin, 0.179 lb ai fluxapyroxad, or 0.22 lb ai propiconazole per acre per
year from all product sources.
* Not registered for use in California.
** For early season control of Septoria leaf and glume blotch, spot blotch, and tan spot when conditions favor disease
development, apply 3.5 to 7 fl ozs per acre of Nexicor either in combination with a herbicide application or when
conditions favor disease development. When the 3.5 to 7 fl ozs early season application rate is used, a second
application of Nexicor may be required to protect the emerged flag leaf. Environmental conditions for disease or
current disease pressure at the time of flag leaf emergence must be used to determine the Nexicor rate for the
second application. For high disease pressure, use the higher rate of Nexicor.
***
DO NOT apply more than 13 fl ozs of Nexicor per acre per year (0.025 lb ai fluxapyroxad, 0.170 lb ai pyraclostrobin,
and 0.106 lb ai propiconazole) if forage or hay will be harvested.
