areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff from treated areas may be hazardous 

to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing 

of equipment wash water. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its 

labeling. 

For use only by certified applicators or those under their immediate supervision. Do not 

apply with fixed wing or rotary aircraft. Not for use on turf being grown for sale or other 

commercial use as sod. Do not apply to home orchards/backyard fruit trees after fruit 

set.

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. 

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 

There are inherent risks of pests developing tolerance to any product, therefore it is 

strongly advised that Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG be used in a sound resistance 

management program. Thiophanate-metbyI85% WDG should be tank-mixed with other 

fungicide active ingredients that have different modes of action. Another option is to 

rotate the applications of Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG with fungicides of a different 

chemistry. Tide International, USA, Inc. does not recommend the use of fungicide 

products containing thiabendazole in conibination or in rotation with Thiophanate-methyl 

85% WDG because of the similarity in .chemistry between the two active ingredients. 

Fungal resistance is indicated by ineffective results after a Thiophanate-methyl 85% 

WDG application. If resistance is suspected, wait until the following season before 

making the next application of Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG. Do not replace 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG applications with products containing thiabendazole to 

prevent further resistance development. Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG will still be a 

useful tool for control of fungal diseases, even if resistant strains are present, as long as 

these recommendations and precautions are followed. 

NOTE: Do not exceed maximum rate per acre when applying Thiophanate-methyl 85% 

WDG as a dilute spray.

TURF AND ORNAMENTAL USES 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG contains the active ingredient thiophanate-methyl, a 

broad-spectrum fungicide for use in turf and ornamentals. When used according to 

the directions on this label, Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG provides both curative 

(control) and protection (prevention) of the listed diseases in turf and omamentals. 

4 
26

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG may be applied using ground equipment only. 

Thorough coverage of foliage is obtained by using sufficient volumes of spray solution. 

Do not apply through any type of irrigation unless specifically described in this label. 

Refer to the tables below for specific turf and ornamental use directions. The listed 

higher rates may be used for severe disease pressure. Consult your State Extension 

Service for recommendations on application timings. 

Signs of fungal resistance include ineffective results after a Thiophanate-methyl 85% 

WDG application. If resistance is suspected, contact your local Tide International, 

USA, Inc. representative, your State Agricultural Experiment Station, or your State 

Agricultural Extension Service for advice on your options for use of alternate 

fungicides. 

GENERAL MIXING DIRECTIONS 

Fill the spray tank 1/3 to 1/2 full with water and begin agitation. Then add the required 

amount of Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG. Fill the spray tank with the remaining 

amount of water. Continue agitation to maintain a uniform suspension during 

application. Do not tank mix Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG with highly alkaline 

pesticides (such as Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur). Before using other pesticides, 

test a small amount for compatibility before preparing large tanks of the mixture. 

Refer to the Chemigation Instructions section for mixing directions for chemigation 

applications. 

TURF AND ORNAMENTALCHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

NOTE: DO NOT APPLY BY CHEMIGATION IN CALIFORNIA 

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. 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 calibrations, you should 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 IT 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 

Systems 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 back flow. The pesticide injection pipeline 

must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to preve~t 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. Systems must use a metering pump, such 

as 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. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPRINKLER (OVERHEAD) IRRIGATION: 

Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above. 

Do not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 

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. 

Application of more than recommended quantities of irrigation water per acre may 

result in decreased 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 to the 

well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray being applied in this area. 

When sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease 

control may result. 

Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles b~fore 

turning off irrigation water. 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG may be applied in conjunction with chemically neutral 

liquid fertilizers. Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, such as 

aqueous ammonia, may cause a degradation of the pesticide, resulting in reduced 

performance and should be avoided. 

6 
28

Check local restrictions and requirements regarding sprinkler irrigation applications, as 

they may vary from state to state. 

PREPARATION OF SPRAY SUSPENSION 

Clean and remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical 

tank and the entire injector system. Use clean water to flush the system. Add 1/2 or 3/4 

the required amount of water to a mixing tank. Begin agitation (mechanical or 

hydraulic). Slowly add the required amount of Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG to the 

tank. Then fill the tank with the remaining amount of water. Continue agitation to 

maintain a uniform suspension. 

SPRINKLER IRRIGATION APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

Follow all directions under the section above under System Requirements. Set the 

sprinkler system to deliver 0.1 to 1.25 inches of water per acre. Reduced efficacy could 

occur if volumes of water higher than this amount are used. Start the sprinkler and then 

inject the suspension of Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG into the irrigation water line to 

deliver the desired rate per acre. The suspension of Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG 

should be injected with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right 

angle to ensure adequate mixing. 

NOTE: Alter completing the Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG treatment, do not irrigate 

the treated area for 24 to 48 hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop. 

TURF 

Thiophanate-methyI85% WDG may be u~ed on all fine turf areas such as athletic fields, 

cemeteries, golf course greens, tees, -and failWays, home lawns (by professional 

applicators), and industrial lawns. Used according to label directions, Thiophanatemethyl 85% WDG is not phytotoxic to Bentgrasses, Blue Grasses, Bermudagrasses, 

Fescues, Ryegrasses, Sf. Augustine grasses or their mixtUres. Thiophanate-methyl 

85% WDG provides both curative (control) and protection (prevention) of the listed 

diseases in turf. 

Make applications after turf has been mowed (or wait 12 hours after mowing before 

making an application). Use a sufficient amount of water (3 to 5 galions per 1,000 sq. 

It.) to provide a thorough, uniform coverage to the turf. The highest rate is 

recommended for conditions of severe disease pressure. Aprons and approaches of 

golf greens must also be treated. Refer to the "Table of Maximum Thiophanate-methyl 

85% WDG Application Rates" for application restrictions and maximum rates allowed at 

different sites. 

Mixing Instructions: Fill the spray tank 1/3 to 1/2 full with water and begin agnation. 

Then add the required amount of Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG. Fill the spray tank 

with the remaining amount of water. Continue agitation to maintain a uniform

timings. 

GENERAL MIXING DIRECTIONS 

Fill the spray tank 1/3 to 1/2 full with water and begin agitation. Then add the required 

amount of Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG. Fill the spray tank with the remaining 

amount of water. Continue agitation to maintain a uniform suspension during 

application. Do not tank mix Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG with highly alkaline 

12

pesticides (such as Bordeaux mixture or lime sulfur). Before using other pesticides, test 

a small amount for compatibility before preparing large tanks of the mixture. Refer to 

the Chemigation Instructions section for mixing directions for chemigation applications. 

ROTATION CROP RESTRICTION 

For any crop not listed on this label, do not plant back that crop for 3~-days after the last 

application. 

CROP USE CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

NOTE: In California, chemigation may be used only for the following crops: 

Beans, Curcurbits (cucumbers, melons, pumpkins, squash), Peanuts, Soybeans, 

and Strawberries. 

Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation system including center pivot, lateral 

move, end tow, side (wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, hand move, or drip (minimicro sprinklers, strip tubing, trickle) irrigation systems. Do not apply this product 

through any oth er 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, you should contact State Extension Service 

specialists, equipment manufacturers or o~her experts. 

A person knowledgeable of the chemigation system and responsible for its operation, or 

under the supervisor 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 

Systems 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. 

13 
35

• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing 

check valve to prevent the flow of liquid 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 injector 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. 

• 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 wfth pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system Interlock. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPRINKLER (OVERHEAD) IRRIGATION 

Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above. Do not apply 

when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. 

Apply Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WOG only through systems containing anti-syphon 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 

ensure 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. 

Application of more than recommended quantfties of irrigation water per acre may result 

in decreased 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 to the well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray from being applied 

to this area. 

Where sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficiently, unacceptable disease 

control may result. 

Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through all lines and all nozzles before 

turning off irrigation water. 

14 
36

Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG may be applied in conjunction with chemically neutral 

liquid fertilizers. Application in conjunction with highly alkaline fertilizers, such as 

aqueous ammonia, may cause a degradation of the pesticide resulting in reduced 

performance and should be avoided. 

Check local restrictions and requirements regarding sprinkler irrigation applications, as 

they may vary from state to state. 

PREPARATION OF SPRAY SUSPENSION 

Clean and remove scale, pesticide residues, and other foreign matter from the chemical 

tank and the entire injector system. Use clean water to flush the system. Add 1/2 or 3/4 

the required amount of water to a mixing tank. Begin agitation (mechanical or 

hydraulic). Slowly add the required amount of Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG to the 

tank. Then fill the tank with the remaining amount of water. Continue agitation to 

maintain a uniform suspension. 

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS 

Sprinkler Irrigation: Follow all directions under the section above under System 

Requirements. Set the sprinkler system to deliver 0.1 to 1.25 inches of water per acre. 

Reduced efficacy could occur if volumes of water higher than this amount are used. 

Start the sprinkler and then inject the suspension of Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG into 

the irrigation water line to deliver the desired rate per acre. The suspension of 

Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG should be injected with a positive displacement pump 

into the main line ahead of a right angle to ensure adequate mixing. 

NOTE: After completing the Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG treatment, do not irrigate 

the treated area for 24 to 48 hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop. 

Drip (Mini-Micro Sprinklers, Strip Tubing, Trickle) Irrigation: Observe all System 

Requirements and Application Instructions as described above.
