||
PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Apply this product with ground or aerial equipment, using sufficient volume of spray to provide thorough coverage.
|
||
Continuous agitation is required to keep the material in suspension. Do not tank mix this product with Bordeaux
|
||
mixture, lime sulfur, and other highly alkaline pesticides. No claim of compatibility with other pesticides is implied.
|
||
Use the higher rates under conditions of severe disease pressure. Also, see local State Extension Service instructions
|
||
for application schedules.
|
||
Optimum disease control occurs when fungicides are applied in a preventative spray program prior to fungal infection.
|
||
Some diseases are better controlled when several different MOA (Modes of Action) fungicides are tank-mixed for the
|
||
application. Check your area University or Extension Recommendations Guide for specifics.
|
||
Use the fluid oz/acre rate for concentrate sprays (less than 400 gallons on apples, less than 300 gallons on stonefruit).
|
||
Use the fluid oz/100 gal rate for dilute ground applications. For aerial applications, use a minimum of 3 gallons/A (5
|
||
gallons/A in California) for row crops, and a minimum of 10 gallons/A for tree crops. Higher spray volume will generally
|
||
result in better coverage and better disease control.
|
||
Use on non-bearing apples, pecans, cherries, and peaches: Use this product for control of the leaf diseases listed
|
||
on the label for these crops during the non-bearing years of new plantings, and on nursery stock. All use directions
|
||
and limitations must be followed, except for the PHI, which is not applicable. Begin applications as disease is first
|
||
observed. Tank mix with a protectant fungicide for resistance management.
|
||
|
||
4
|
||
|
||
Chemigation instructions follow. Do not apply through any irrigation system unless these instructions are followed.
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
|
||
For resistance management, Nufarm T-Methyl 4.5 F Fungicide contains thiophanate-methyl, a Group 1 fungicide.
|
||
Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 1 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 Nufarm T-Methyl 4.5 F Fungicide or other Group 1 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 specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance -
|
||
management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
|
||
Note: Products containing thiabendazole or other products containing thiophanate-methyl are not appropriate for
|
||
rotation or use in tank mixtures with this product as they are of similar chemistry and will contribute to the development
|
||
of resistance.
|
||
|
||
Advisory Best Management Practices for Pollinator Protection
|
||
|
||
The following best management practices (BMPs) can help reduce risk to pollinators:
|
||
x Develop and maintain clear communication with local beekeepers to help protect bees. To the extent
|
||
possible, advise beekeepers within a 1-mile radius 48-hrs in advance of the application, and confirm hive
|
||
locations before spraying.
|
||
x Avoid applications when bees are actively foraging.
|
||
x Avoid applying pesticides to plants in bloom, including flowering weeds.
|
||
x Apply pesticides in the evening or at night when fewer bees are foraging.
|
||
x Use Pollinator Protection Plans when they are available. These plans may be available from state lead
|
||
agencies and promote communication between growers, landowners, farmers, beekeepers, pesticide users,
|
||
and other pest management professionals to reduce exposure of bees and other pollinators to pesticides.
|
||
x Use integrated pest management to prevent or mitigate potential negative effects to pollinators and consider
|
||
multiple pest management options before resorting to a pesticide application.
|
||
x Mowing understory weeds or cover crops in orchards and vineyards before blooming can prevent flowering
|
||
of weeds and reduce exposure to bees where and when pesticides are applied.
|
||
The following BMPs can help promote the health and habitat of ground-nesting bees:
|
||
x For uncultivated land, leaving large undisturbed patches of land un-mowed and untilled can provide nesting
|
||
and forage sites.
|
||
x For uncultivated land, mowing at the highest cutting height possible (minimum of 8-10 inches if possible) can
|
||
increase and diversify food sources.
|
||

MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Aerial Applications:
|
||
x Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 ft above the ground or vegetative canopy unless a
|
||
greater application height is necessary for pilot safety.
|
||
x Applicators must select nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarser droplets in accordance
|
||
with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 641 (ASABE S641).
|
||
x During application, the Sustained Wind Speed, as defined by the National Weather Service (standard
|
||
averaging period of 2 minutes) must register between 3 and 15 miles per hour.
|
||
x Wind speed and direction must be measured on location using a windsock, an anemometer (including
|
||
systems to measure wind speed or velocity on an aircraft), or an aircraft smoke system.
|
||
x Wind speed must be measured at the release height or higher, in an area free from obstructions such
|
||
as trees, buildings, and farm equipment.
|
||
x If the wind speed is 10 miles per hour or less, applicators must use a minimum of ½ swath
|
||
displacement upwind at the downwind edge of the field. When the wind speed is between 11-15 miles
|
||
per hour, applicators must use a minimum of ¾ swath displacement upwind at the downwind edge of
|
||
the field.
|
||
x When the wind speed is between 11-15 miles per hour, 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 Do not apply during temperature inversions
|
||
|
||
Spray Drift Buffer to Aquatic Habitats

x Do not apply within 50 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
|
||
permanent streams or ephemeral streams when water is present, wetlands or natural ponds,
|
||
estuaries, and commercial fish farm ponds) when wind is blowing toward the aquatic habitat. On-
|
||
farm irrigation ditches, irrigation canals, other on-farm water conveyances, and irrigation
|
||
management structures such as tailwater collection ponds are not considered aquatic habitat. Any
|
||
land between the aquatic habitat and the application area can be included in the buffer (including
|
||
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP)
|
||
areas).
|
||
A 50% reduction in the required wind-directional buffer distance can be made if a windbreak or
|
||
shelterbelt (e.g., trees or riparian hedgerows) between the application site and aquatic habitat is present
|
||
and meets the criteria listed in the ‘Windbreak-Shelterbelt Criteria’ section of this label.
|
||
|
||
Spray Drift Buffer to Wildlife Conservation Areas
|
||
x Do not apply within 50 feet of any conservation areas when wind is blowing toward the conservation
|
||
area. Conservation areas include public lands and parks, national and state wilderness areas and
|
||
wildlife refuges, national and state forests, and national and state grasslands. Any land between the
|
||
conservation areas and the application area can be included in the buffer (including Conservation
|
||
Reserve Program (CRP) and Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) areas).
|
||
Applications made to agricultural fields located within a conservation area are acceptable when
|
||
|
||
7
|
||
|
||
made in accordance with an approved pesticide management plan for the conservation area and the
|
||
restrictions on this label.
|
||
A 50% reduction in the required wind-directional buffer distance can be made if a windbreak or
|
||
shelterbelt (e.g., trees or riparian hedgerows) between the application site and conservation area is
|
||
present and meets the criteria listed in the ‘Windbreak-Shelterbelt Criteria’ section of this label.
|
||
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:

Spray Drift Buffer to Aquatic Habitats
|
||
x Do not apply within 15 feet of aquatic habitats (such as, but not limited to, lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
|
||
permanent streams or ephemeral streams when water is present, wetlands or natural ponds,
|
||
estuaries, and commercial fish farm ponds) when wind is blowing toward the aquatic habitat. On-
|
||
farm irrigation ditches, irrigation canals, other on-farm water conveyances, and irrigation
|
||
management structures such as tailwater collection ponds are not considered aquatic habitat. Any
|
||
land between the aquatic habitat and the application area can be included in the buffer (including
|
||
Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP)
|
||
areas).
|
||
A 50% reduction in buffer distance can be made if:
|
||
o the application is made with a hooded sprayer; or,
|
||
o a windbreak or shelterbelt (e.g., trees or riparian hedgerows) between the application site and
|
||
aquatic habitat is present and meets the criteria listed in the ‘Windbreak-Shelterbelt Criteria’
|
||
section of this label.
|
||
A 75% reduction in buffer distance can be made if a hooded sprayer is used and a downwind windbreak
|
||
is present and higher than the release height.
|
||
|
||
Spray Drift Buffer to Wildlife Conservation Areas
|
||
x Do not apply within 15 feet of any conservation areas when wind is blowing toward the conservation
|
||
area. Conservation areas include public lands and parks, national and state wilderness areas and
|
||
wildlife refuges, national and state forests, and national and state grasslands. Any land between the
|
||
conservation areas and the application area can be included in the buffer (including Conservation
|
||
Reserve Program (CRP) and Agricultural Conservation Easement Program (ACEP) areas).
|
||
Applications made to agricultural fields located within a conservation area are acceptable when
|
||
made in accordance with an approved pesticide management plan for the conservation area and the
|
||
restrictions on this label.
|
||
A 50% reduction in buffer distance can be made if:
|
||
o the application is made with a hooded sprayer; or,
|
||
o a windbreak or shelterbelt (e.g., trees or riparian hedgerows) between the application site and
|
||
conservation area is present and meets the criteria listed in the ‘Windbreak-Shelterbelt Criteria’

Airblast Applications:
|
||
x Sprays must be directed into the canopy.
|
||
x During application, the Sustained Wind Speed, as defined by the National Weather Service
|
||
(standard averaging period of 2 minutes), must register between 3 and 15 miles per hour.
|
||
x Winds speed and direction must be measured on location using a windsock or anemometer.
|
||
x Wind speed must be measured at the release height or higher, in an area free from obstructions
|
||
such as trees, buildings, and farm equipment.
|
||
x User must turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and when spraying outer row.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
Windbreak-Shelterbelt Criteria
|
||
A 50% reduction in the wind-directional buffer distance required above can be made if a windbreak or
|
||
shelterbelt (e.g., trees or riparian hedgerows) between the application site and aquatic habitat/conservation
|
||
area is present and meets the following criteria:
|
||
x The windbreak or shelterbelt must be downwind between the pesticide application and the aquatic
|
||
habitat/conservation area.
|
||
x The windbreak or shelterbelt must have a minimum of one row of trees and/or shrubs that have
|
||
foliage is sufficiently dense such that the aquatic habitat/conservation area is not visible on the
|
||
upwind side at the time of application.
|
||
x The row(s) of trees and/or shrubs in the windbreak/shelterbelt must run the full length of the treated
|
||
crop and must have foliage that is sufficiently dense such that the aquatic habitat/conservation area
|
||
is not visible on the upwind side.
|
||
x The height of the trees in the windbreak or shelterbelt must be at the same height or higher than the
|
||
release height of the application.
|
||
x The windbreak or shelterbelt must be planted according to local/regional/federal conservation
|
||
program standards; however, no state or federally listed noxious or invasive trees or shrubs should
|
||
be planted.
|
||
x The windbreak or shelterbelt must be maintained such that its functionality is not compromised.
|
||
|
||
A semi-permeable manmade structure, curtain, or netting that is raised prior to application can be used
|
||
instead of a windbreak or shelterbelt. This structure must be downwind between the pesticide application
|
||
and the non-managed area, cover the entire distance of field adjacent to non-managed area, and at the
|
||
same height or higher as the release height of the application.

||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A VOIDING 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. lf 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
|
||
|
||
9
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
HOODED OR 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 INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. 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.
|
||
|
||
MEASURING WIND SPEED AND WIND DIRECTION
|
||
Best Management Practices for measuring wind speed and direction of wind:
|
||
x Applicators should check and acquire the predicted wind speed and direction for the application site within
|
||
12 hours prior to conducting applications to determine the time periods wind speed is likely to fall outside
|
||
the applicable thresholds.
|
||
x Applicators should reassess wind speed and direction at the application site every 15 minutes while
|
||
applications are in progress.
|
||
x Measuring wind speed and direction can be done by:
|
||
o Relying on the application equipment that measures wind speed (e.g., aerial equipment).
|
||
o Using a tower anemometer with telemetry or handheld anemometer. Users should read user manual
|
||
on how to calibrate, operate and interpret the output from an anemometer. Ground applicators should
|
||
stop every 15 minutes to take a reading with a tower anemometer with telemetry or handheld
|
||
anemometer. Some anemometers may have software that would allow users to view wind
|
||
measurements in real time while making an application, and, those cases, applicators would not have
|
||
to stop to take measurements.
|
||
o Using a windsock. Wind can be estimated with a windsock using the strips on a windsock. The
|
||
applicator should consult the user manual for the windsock on wind speed estimation and direction of
|
||
wind. Applicators should look at the sock at least every 15 minutes to estimate wind speed and
|
||
direction.
|
||
o Using an aircraft smoke system. Laying down several puffs of smoke along different lines using an
|
||
aircraft smoke system can provide an accurate view of what the wind speed and direction for the
|
||
application.
|
||
o Checking behind the spray rig at least every 15 minutes to see if the spray has changed direction from
|
||
when the application started.
|
||
|
||
HANDHELD TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS
|
||
Take precautions to minimize spray drift.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: In the Aid in Control of Certain Canker Diseases Following Pruning
|
||
of Almonds, Apricots, Cherries, Grapes, Nectarines, Peaches, Plums and Prunes
|
||
To protect pruning cuts from canker diseases caused by fungal pathogens including Leucostoma persoonii (Cytospora),
|
||
Calosphaeria pulchella, Lasiodiplodia theobromae, and Diaporthe neotheicola (Phomopsis) apply T-Methyl 4.5F fungicide in
|
||
spray or paint-on to pruning wounds.
|
||
Spray: Apply T-Methyl 4.5F at 30 fl. ozs. (1.05 lbs. a.i.) per acre in a minimum of 30 gallons alone, or a minimum of 50 gallons
|
||
when tank mixed per acre, using power operated ground application equipment or a backpack sprayer. If backpack sprayer is
|
||
used, chemical-resistant coveralls or a chemical-resistant coat must be worn.
|
||
Paint-on: Apply T-Methyl 4.5F at 4.0 fl. ozs. (0.14 lb. a.i.) per 1 gallon water (20 fl. ozs. (0.7 lb. a.i.) per 5 gallons of water) as a
|
||
paint to cut or pruned surfaces immediately after cutting and before rain, dew, fog and fungal spores come into contact with
|
||
fresh wood.
|
||
Results are improved by thorough coverage of pruning wounds and by pruning at a time when little or no rain is expected soon
|
||
after treatment.
|
||
For improved management of canker diseases by fungal pathogens and for fungicide resistance management, it is directed to
|
||
apply T-Methyl 4.5F in a tank-mix with Rally® 40 WSP (EPA Reg. No. 62719-410, myclobutanil) at 6 ozs./acre for almonds,
|
||
apricots, cherries, nectarines, peaches, plums and prunes and/or in the tank mix with other fungicides registered for canker
|
||
disease management. Refer to the Rally 40 WSP (EPA Reg. No. 62719-410, myclobutanil) Special 2(ee) Recommendation for
|
||
further information on this use. Protect pruning cuts as soon as possible especially if irrigation, rainfall or fog is expected.
|
||
Application within 24 hours is highly advised. Applications after 24 hours are permitted, but disease control may be reduced.
|
||
Assure thorough coverage of all cut wood surfaces. For these pathogens, multiple applications may be needed. Make additional
|
||
applications at approximately two-week intervals, especially if irrigation, rainfall or high humidity conditions exist.
|
||
The addition of a labeled rate of a registered organo-silicone spray adjuvant may increase penetration of cut wood surfaces. It is
|
||
the responsibility of the user to assure that the organo-silicone spray adjuvant is safe to the crop under the existing conditions of
|
||
use and label on the adjuvant container. Addition of a registered spray dye to the tank mix, and visual inspection of the pruning
|
||
cuts after application, will help assure thorough coverage of susceptible tissue.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE THROUGH CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS
|
||
USE IN CALIFORNIA BY CHEMIGATION ONLY FOR BEANS, CUCURBITS (CUCUMBERS, MELONS,
|
||
PUMPKINS, SQUASH), PEANUTS, SOYBEANS, AND STRAWBERRIES
|
||
Chemigation Information
|
||
Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side (wheel)
|
||
roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move, or drip (mini-micro sprinklers, strip tubing, trickle) irrigation systems.
|
||
Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system.
|
||
Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of
|
||
treated water.
|
||
If you have any questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers
|
||
or other experts.
|
||
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 chemigation system to any public water system. Public water system means a system for the provision
|
||
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.
|
||
System Requirements
|
||
System utilizing a pressurized water and pesticide injection system must meet the following requirements:
|
||
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 functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on
|
||
the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn
|
||
from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
|
||
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 functional pressure switch which will stop the water pump motor
|
||
when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected.
|
||
System must use a metering pump, for example 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.
|
||
Application Instructions
|
||
Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above.
|
||
Apply this product only through systems containing anti-sip hon and check valves designed to prevent water source
|
||
contamination or overflow of the mix tank and containing interlocking controls between the metering device and the
|
||
water pump to ensure simultaneous shut-off.
|
||
Maintain a gentle continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure a uniform suspension.
|
||
Greater accuracy in calibration and distribution will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of a more dilute
|
||
suspension per unit time.
|
||
|
||
21
|
||
|
||
Application of more than specified quantities of irrigation water per acre will decrease product performance.
|
||
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, when system connections or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide
|
||
uniform distribution or when lines containing the product cannot be flushed and must be dismantled and drained. In
|
||
a center pivot system, block the nozzle set nearest the well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray being applied to this
|
||
area.
|
||
Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water.
|
||
Apply this product in conjunction with chemically neutral liquid fertilizers. Application in conjunction with aqueous
|
||
ammonia and other highly alkaline fertilizers causes degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reduced performance.
|
||
Spray Preparation
|
||
Remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical tank and entire injector system. Flush
|
||
with clean water.
|
||
Prepare a suspension of this product in a mix tank. Fill the tank with ½ or ¾ the desired amount of water. Start
|
||
mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Slowly add the required amount of this product and then the remaining volume of
|
||
water.
|
||
Sprinkler Irrigation – Notes:
|
||
Observe all System Requirements and application instructions above.
|
||
Set sprinkler system to deliver 0.1 to 0.25 inches of water per acre. Volume of water higher than this reduces efficacy.
|
||
Start sprinkler and then uniformly inject the suspension of this product into the irrigation water line so as to deliver
|
||
the desired rate per acre. Inject the suspension of this product with a positive displacement pump into the main line
|
||
ahead of a right angle turn to ensure adequate mixing. When treatment with this product has been completed, do not
|
||
irrigate the treated area for 24 to 48 hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop.
|
||
Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Where sprinkler distribution
|
||
patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease control is a result.
|
||
Check local restrictions and requirements regarding sprinkler irrigation application, as they vary from state to state.
|
||
Drip (mini-micro Sprinklers, Strip Tubing, Trickle) Irrigation-Notes:
|
||
Observe all system requirements and application instructions above. Use a pesticide supply tank.
|
||
|
||
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
