ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This product is toxic to mammals, fish, aquatic invertebrates, and freshwater/estuarine/marine aquatic plants. 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 contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or
rinsate.
Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils
with shallow ground water. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several
months or more after application. 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 loading of this product from runoff water
and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within
48 hours.
Ground Water Advisory
Degradates of prothioconazole are known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use.
These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is
shallow.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
• USF0115 is a broad -spectrum systemic fungicide for the control of Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Deuteromycetes
diseases in barley, corn (field corn, field corn grown for seed, popcorn, and sweet corn), peanut, and wheat. Under
conditions conducive to extended infection periods or high disease pressure, another registered fungicide may be needed
once this product’s maximum application rates have been reached. Under these conditions use another fungicide
registered for the crop/disease.
USE RESTRICTIONS
• Observe the following restrictions when spraying in the vicinity of aquatic areas such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
permanent streams, marshes or natural ponds, and estuaries.
o Apply only during alternate years in fields adjacent to aquatic areas listed above.
o Do not apply by ground or air within 100 feet of aquatic areas listed above.
o Do not cultivate within 10 feet of an aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.
o 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.
o 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.
o Apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of spray solution by acre by aircraft spray equipment, unless stated differently in
the CROP USE DIRECTIONS.
o 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.
o 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.
o Risk of exposure to sensitive aquatic areas can be reduced by avoiding applications when wind direction is toward
the aquatic area.
o 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.
o 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 applicat or may detect the presence of an inversion by producing smoke and
observing a smoke layer near the ground surface.
o DO NOT use with handheld application equipment, including backpack or mechanically/manually pressurized
hand equipment.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
• USF0115 may be applied by either ground, aerial and/or chemigation application equipment. Equipment must be properly
calibrated before use.
• 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.
• Thoroughly mix contents before use and application. Recirculate or mix the product for at least 5 minutes prior to each
use. For large containers, 15 gallons containers or more, mix the product with the built -in mixer for 5 -10 minutes before
each use.
Aerial Application
Apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of spray solution per acre unless stated differently in the RESTRICTIONS or the CROP USE
DIRECTIONS sections. Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when excessive spray drift
may occur. Aerial application is prohibited in New York State.
Check equipment calibration frequently.
Ground Application
Apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. Complete coverage and uniform application are essential for the m ost
effective results, especially when lower spray volumes are applied. If necessary, increase the spray volume per acre for complete crop
coverage.
CHEMIGATION
Apply USF0115 through irrigation equipment only to crops for which chemigation is specified on this label.
USF0115 alone or in combination with other pesticides, which are registered for application through irrigation systems, may be applied
through irrigation systems. Apply this product only through center pivot, solid set, hand move, or moving wheel irrigation systems. Do
not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform
distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment
manufacturers, or other experts. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to
a public water system, unless the pesticide label -prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. A person
knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or un der the supervision of the responsible person, shall
shut the system down and make necessary adjustments should the need arise.
Public water system
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. Chemigation
systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone (RPZ), back flow preventer, or the
functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an alternative 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 flow 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. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent
the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. Pesticide injection pipeline must 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 systems 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.
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.
Operating Instructions
1. 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.
2. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick -closing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back
toward the injection pump.
3. 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 w hen
the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.
4. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the wate r
pump motor stops.
5. 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.
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 fitted with a system interlock.
6
7. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment.
Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment
Notes: (1) Use only with drive systems, which provide uniform water distribution. (2) Do not use end guns when chemigating USF0115
through center pivot systems because of non-uniform application.
Determine the size of the area to be treated. Determine the time required to apply 1/8 -1/2 inch of water over the area to be treated
when the system and injection equipment are operated at normal pressures as recommended by the equipment manufacturer. When
applying USF0115 through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution. Run
the system at 80-95% of the manufacturer’s rated capacity. Using water, determine the injection pump output when operated at normal
line pressure. Determine the amount of USF0115 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount
of USF0115 and sufficient water to meet the injection time requirements to the solution tank. Make sure the system is fully charged
with water before starting injection of the USF0115 solution. Time the injection to last at least as long as it takes to bring the system
to full pressure. Maintain constant solution tank agitation during the injection period. Continue to operate the system until the USF0115
solution has cleared the sprinkler head.
Solid Set, Hand Move, and Moving Wheel Irrigation Equipment
When applying USF0115 through irrigation equipment use the lowest obtainable water volume while maintaining uniform distribution.
Determine the amount of USF0115 required to treat the area covered by the irrigation system. Add the required amount of USF0115
into the same quantity of water used to calibrate the injection period. Operate the system at the same pressure and time inte rval
established during the calibration. Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the system unt il the
USF0115 solution has cleared the last sprinkler head.
Adjuvants: USF0115 is recommended to be used with a registered non -ionic surfactant at the lowest specified labeled rate for
most uses. Refer to the USE DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC CROPS for adjuvant recommendations on corn.
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT. BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-
TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
Importance Of Droplet Size
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply large droplets. Use the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While applying
larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made improperly or under unfavorable
environmental conditions.
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
• 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 recommended 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 manufacturer’s recommendations for setting up nozzles. Generally, to reduce fine droplets,
nozzles should be oriented parallel with the airflow in flight.
Boom Height – Ground Boom
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level with the crop and have minimal bounce.
Release Height – Aircraft
Higher release heights increase the potential for spray drift.
Shielded Sprayers
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the shields are not
interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
Temperature And Humidity
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
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.
7
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.
COMPATIBILITY TESTING AND TANK MIX PARTNERS
Mixing Procedures
Prepare no more spray mixture than is necessary for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using th is
product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spray operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank.
Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to the previously treated area or dispose of the rinsate
according to local regulations. Do not tank mix with products containing a prohibition against tank mixing. Follow th e most restrictive
labeling requirements of any tank mix product.
USF0115 alone: Add ½ of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the USF0115 to the tank.
Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after the product has completel y and
uniformly dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
USF0115 + Tank-Mix Partners: Add ½ of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any
of the tank-mix partners. In general, tank-mix partners should be added in this order: products packaged in water-soluble packaging*,
wettable powders, wettable granules (dry flowables), liquid flowables, liquids, and emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank-
mix partner to become fully and uniformly dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the
remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
* Note: When using USF0115 in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank before any other
tank-mix partner, including USF0115. Allow the water -soluble packaging to completely disperse before adding any other tank -mix
partner to the tank.
If using USF0115 in a tank mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations;
which appear on the tank-mix product label. Label dosage rate must not be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and
limitations must be followed. This product must not be mixed with any product that prohibits such mixing. Tank mixtures or ot her
applications of products referenced on this label are permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are registered.
USF0115 is compatible with most insecticide, fungicide, herbicide, and foliar nutrient products. However, the physical compatibility of
USF0115 with tank-mix partners should be tested before use. To determine the physical compatibility of USF0115 with other products,
use a jar test, as described below.
Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt. of water. Add wettable powders and water-dispersible granular
products first, then liquids and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination
remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for
adding required ingredients to the spray tank. For further information, contact your local Bayer Crop Science representative.
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 specified on this label, the safety to the target crop should be confirmed. To test for crop safety, apply USF0115
to the target crop in a small area and in accordance with label instructions for the target crop.
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT (FRAC) RECOMMENDATIONS
For resistance management, please note that USF0115 contains both Group 3 (prothioconazole and tebuconazole) and Group 7
(fluopyram) fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to USF0115 and other Group 3 and Group 7
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.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of USF0115 fungicide within a growing season with other fungicide groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicide from a different group that are equally 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/bacterial 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.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1 -866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You
can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

The optimal time to apply USF0115 is as a
preventative foliar spray when barley heads on
the main stem are fully emerged (~ Feekes
Growth Stage 10.5). Spray equipment must be
set to provide good coverage of barley heads.
For thorough coverage of the barley head using
ground application equipment, use forward,
forward and backward mounted nozzles, or
nozzles that have a two-directional spray.
Nozzles should be operated within the spray
pressure directions suggested by the
manufacturer.
For aerial applications made prior to heading
(prior to Feekes Growth Stage 10.5), apply a
minimum of 2 gpa spray solution. For aerial
applications made at the heading growth stage
or later, apply in a minimum of 3 gpa spray
solution. Chemigation use is allowed only for
applications made prior to heading. Higher
carrier volumes increase the likelihood of more
complete coverage of the grain heads.
Restrictions:
• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): 32 days
• Do not make more than one application of USF0115 per year.
• Grazing livestock or feeding of green forage is only permitted 14 or more days after the last application of USF0115.
• Minimum ground application volume: 10 gallons/Acre
• For aerial applications made prior to heading (prior to Feekes Growth Stage 10.5), apply a minimum of 2 gpa spray
solution. For aerial applications made at the heading growth stage or later, apply in a minimum of 3 gpa spray solution.
Chemigation use is allowed only for applications made prior to heading.
• Maximum USF0115 allowed per year: 13.6 fluid ounces/Acre (0.177 lbs prothioconazole, 0.089 lbs tebuconazole, 0.089 lbs
fluopyram per acre).
• Regardless of formulation or method of application, do not apply more than 0.293 lbs prothioconazole per acre per year.
• Regardless of formulation or method of application, do not apply more than 0.113 lbs tebuconazole per acre per year.

Fusarium Head Blight and Ergot
Target application after 75% of the wheat
heads on the main stem are fully emerged until
flowering has ended. Optimal application
timing for deoxynivalenol (DON) reduction is
when first flowers emerge on the main heads.
Spray equipment must be set to provide good
coverage to wheat heads. For thorough
coverage of the wheat head using ground
application equipment, use forward, forward
and backward mounted nozzles, or nozzles
that have a two-directional spray. Operate
nozzles within the spray pressure directions
suggested by the manufacturer. When applied
through chemigation, large carrier volumes
may result in reduced activity against Fusarium
head blight and ergot.
For aerial application made prior to early flower
(prior to Feekes Growth Stage 10.51, apply a
minimum of 2 gpa spray solution. For aerial
applications made at the early flower growth
stage or later, apply in a minimum of 3 gpa
spray solution. Chemigation use is allowed
only for applications made prior to early flower.
Higher carrier volumes increase the likelihood
of more complete coverage of the grain heads.
Leaf and Stem Diseases
Apply USF0115 as a preventive foliar spray
when the earliest disease symptoms appear
on the leaves and stems. Wheat fields should
be observed closely for early disease
symptoms, particularly when susceptible
varieties are planted and/or under prolonged
conditions favorable for disease development.
