on plants intended for aesthetic purposes or climatic modification and being grown in
exterior plantscapes, ornamental gardens or parks.

Mixing, Loading and Applying

This product is a liquid concentrate that readily mixes with water and can be used in a
tank-type manually operated or power sprayer.
This product is highly effective for the control of a broad spectrum of vegetable, fruit
and ornamental plant diseases when it is used according to the directions on this label.
Thorough uniform coverage of plant surfaces is essential for good disease control.
Shake well before using. Mix appropriate amount with water and use at once.

Apply this product at the rate indicated for each garden crop for the disease to be
controlled, by mixing in one gallon of water to cover approximately 200 square feet (10 ft.
x 20 ft.) of planted crop. Repeat applications at intervals specified. Use the 7 day schedule
during severe disease conditions or wet weather. Do not apply closer to harvest than the
indicated Preharvest Interval (PHI) for each type of crop. Do not apply more than the
specified amount of this product per 200 sq. ft. of garden area per year for each crop type.
Note: Avoid spraying plants during extremely hot and sunny weather. Do not apply to
wilted plants. Do not graze treated areas or feed treated plant parts to livestock.

Application Directions

Begin applications at budbreak (green tip). Repeat
applications until early bloom at 10 day intervals.
DO NOT apply after early bloom, otherwise
phytotoxicity may occur to the developing fruit.
Begin applications at leaf bud break and
repeat at 2 to 4 week intervals. Based on
available residue data, use of this product
on filberts is restricted to Oregon.
Begin treatment when conditions favor
development of disease and continue
treatments at 14 day intervals until weather
conditions no longer favor disease development.
Apply in sufficient water to obtain adequate
coverage of fruit and leaves. Begin applications
before fruit spots appear (April to July)
and re-apply at 14 day intervals until weather
conditions no longer favor disease development
Apply at leaf fall in late autumn. When conditions
favor high disease levels apply once or twice
more in mid to late winter before budswell.
Make one application at budbreak or
popcorn (pink, red or early white bud). If
weather conditions favor disease, make a
second application 10 days later (full bloom
to petal fall). Apply at shuck split to prevent
infections on young fruit. If additional disease
control is needed after shuck split and before
harvest, use another registered fungicide.

Apply only to conifers in landscape situations. Apply this product in sufficient water to obtain
uniform coverage of tree canopy, including the undersides of leaves, to the point of spray
runoff. Mix the indicated rate of this product into each 4 gallons of water to be used for each
application, generally sufficient to treat 200 square feet. Do not apply more than 16 fluid ounces
(100 teaspoonfuls) of this product per 1,000 square feet per year on field-grown conifers.

Note: Avoid spraying plants during extremely hot and sunny weather. DO NOT apply this
product within one week before or after application of oil or an oil-based pesticide.
Do not graze treated areas or feed treated plant parts to livestock. Do not use on forests.

Diseases: Scleroderris canker (pines), Swiss needlecast, Sirococcus tip blight,
Rhizosphaera needlecast (spruces), Scirrhia brown spot (pines) Application
Directions: Make the first application in spring when new shoot growth is ½ to 2 inches in length.

Make additional applications at 3 to 4 week intervals until conditions no longer favor disease
development. For use in nursery beds, apply the highest rate specified on a 3 week schedule.

Diseases: Cyclaneusma and Lophodermium needlecasts (pines) Application
Directions: Apply in early spring prior to budbreak. Repeat applications at approximately 6 to 8

week intervals, until spore release ceases in late fall. Apply monthly during periods of frequent rainfall,
and where Lophodermium infections occur during dormancy (Pacific Northwest). During drought
periods, applications may be suspended, then resumed upon next occurrence of needle wetness.
Diseases: Rhabdocline needlecast (Douglas-fir) Application Directions: Apply at budbreak and
repeat at 3 to 4 week intervals until needles are fully elongated and conditions no longer favor
disease development. When irregular budbreak occurs, apply weekly until all trees have broken
bud, then every 3 to 4 weeks as specified above. In nursery beds, apply on a 3 week schedule.
Diseases: Botrytis seedling blight, Phoma twig blight Application Directions: Begin
applications in nursery beds when seedlings are 4 inches tall and when cool, moist
conditions favor disease development. Make additional applications at 7 to 14 day
intervals as long as disease favorable conditions persist.

Diseases: Autoecious needle rust (Weir's cushion rust) (spruces) Application
Directions: Begin applications in nursery beds when 10% of buds have broken and

repeat twice thereafter at 7-10 day intervals.

FIRST AID

HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS-WARNING - AVISO

May be fatal if inhaled. Harmful if swallowed or absorbed through skin. Causes moderate
eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Do not breathe spray mist. Prolonged
or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reaction in some individuals.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Mixers, loaders, applicators and all other handlers

must wear: • Long-sleeved shirt and long pants; • Shoes plus socks;

• Protective eye wear; • Chemical resistant gloves (some of the materials that are

chemical-resistant to this product are barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile rubber, neoprene

rubber, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, or viton; If you want more options, follow the
instructions for category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart); • A
NIOSH approved respirator with an organic vapor (OV) cartridge or canister with any N, R, P,

or HE prefilter. Follow manufacturer's instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such
instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately
from other laundry. Keep children and pets off treated area until dry.

This product is toxic to aquatic invertebrates and wildlife. DO NOT apply directly to water or to
areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high-water mark.
Drift and runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring
areas. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.
Chlorothalonil can contaminate surface water through spray drift. DO NOT apply when
weather conditions favor drift from treated areas. Under some conditions, it may also have
a high potential for runoff into surface water for several days to weeks after application.
These include poorly draining or wet soils with readily visible slopes toward adjacent
surface waters, frequently flooded areas, areas overlaying extremely shallow ground water,
areas with in-field canals or ditches that drain to surface water, areas not separated from
adjacent surface waters with vegetated filter strips, and areas overlaying tile drainage
systems that drain to surface water.
Chlorothalonil degradates are known to leach through soil into ground water under certain
conditions as a result of label use. Use of this product in areas where soils are permeable,
particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
