DIRECTIONS FOR USE

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

General: AMV-1018 provides effective long-term sprout control by destroying the growing meristem of sprouting (“peepi ng”) potato tubers and “burning off” sprouts. Further sprouting of potatoes is prevented fo r 1-3 months depending on variety and storage temperatures.

Use Precautions:

 Do not make applications to potatoes in the field.

 Do not use on seed potatoes. Do not allow the thermal fog to come into
contact with or to enter areas used for storage of seed potatoes, potato handling or cutting equipment. Seed potatoes can be safely stored in potato storage which were previously treated with AMV-1018 only after full ventilation and clean out procedures have been followed. The air system including ducts, plenums and the st orage building itself must be thoroughly ventilated prior to storing seed potatoes.

 Follow all application equipment manufacturers’ use directions.

 Do not enter the treatm ent area during the time of application. Do not reenter until the ventilation per iod is complete. If ear ly reentry is required, the PPE required is coveralls worn over long sleeve shirt and long pants, socks, chemical resistant footwear , chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, face shield, or shielded safety glasses and a respirator.

Directions for use Non-Agricultural Use Requirements The requirements in this box apply to uses of this product that are not within the scope of the Worker Protection Standard fo r agricultural pesticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is used to produce agricultural plants on farms, forests, nurseries or greenhouses.

Keep unprotected persons out of treat ed areas until sprays have dried or
dusts have settled. Do not enter t he treatment area during the time of application. Do not reenter until the v entilation period is complete. If early reentry is required, the PPE required is coveralls worn over long sleeve shirt and long pants, socks, chemical resi stant footwear, chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, face shield, or shie lded safety glasses and a respirator.AMV1018.EP.20130115 AMV-1018 can effectively leverage the nat ural dormancy of potatoes when used according to label directions. AMV-1018 is generally used only when the dormancy period has ended. An applicati on should preferably be made when the tubers display “peeping” sprouts but more advanced sprouting can also be treated and controlled (see Sprout Cont rol Programs below). The interval between harvest and the onset of sprout ing is dependent on the cultivar and storage temperature.

The preferred method of application is through standard aerosol (thermal fogging) equipment. Thermal fogging provides the most efficacious and consistent sprout control.

Excellent movement of the fog through the potato pile is important for consistent efficacy.

Do not apply more than 16.8 fl oz/ton (0 .84 fl oz/cwt) per storage season.

Procedure for Thermal Fogging with AMV-1018:

1. Do not enter the treatm ent area during the time of application. Do not reenter until the ventilation per iod is complete. If ear ly reentry is required, the PPE required is coveralls worn over long sleeve shirt and long pants, socks, chemical resistant footwear , chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, face shield, or shielded safety glasses and a respirator.

2. Calculate the quantity of product required based on total tonnage of tubers in storage prior to application.

3. Prepare aerosol/fog generat ing equipment and insert intake hose into the
container with AMV-1018.

4. Configure settings such that the ai r-ducts are set to re-circulate with adequate pressure to move the fog th rough the potato pile. Turn off all humidifier units. These steps will ens ure good distribution of AMV-1018 inside the storages.

5. Place the exhaust end of the aerosol/f og generator in the center of the air mixing chamber or plenum pointed in t he direction of the air flow. Potato storages vary greatly in design and air movement patterns. It is therefore advisable to work with your local cu stom applicator to ensure accurate applications.

6. Adjust flow rate of AMV-1018 through the equipment to match the appropriate aerosol/fogging temperatur e. Do not allow the product to dribble out at the injection point.

7. Close off the ventilation system and turn on the fans/re-circulation system.

8. Turn on the fogging equipment and a llow the fog into the mixing chamber. Operate the fans to continuously re-cir culate the fog through the pile for 24
hours.

9. After recirculation is completed, open the ventilation louvers and allow fresh air to move back into the potato storage unit.AMV1018.EP.20130115 10. Within 3-5 days following application, tubers should exhibit “burnt out” or darkened sprouts.

Sprout Control Programs with AMV-1018:

(a) General Use Directions

AMV-1018 can effectively leverage the natural dormancy of stored potatoes when used according to label directions . Make first application when 75% of tubers show visible signs of sprouting (peeping). Apply AMV- 1018 at the rate of 4.20 fl oz. per ton or 0.21 fl oz/cwt. One gallon of AMV-1018 will treat 610 cwt. Reapply AMV-1018 as necessary when tubers show visible signs of re-sprouting. Minimum reapplication interval is 7 da ys. Potatoes can be removed from storages and shipped 24 hours after ventilation is resumed.

(b) Combinations of AMV-1018 with other Sprout Control Products:

AMV-1018 can be used effectively as part of a program which combines other sprout control products. However, AMV-1018 is effective only after sprouting has
commenced and can be used in combinatio n programs such as chlorpropham (CIPC), diisopropyl naphthalene (DIP N) or dimethyl naphthalene (DMN) products. Follow all product label instructions.

(i) AMV-1018 Sprout Control Programs wit h Chlorpropham (C IPC) or DIPN (Amplify®) or DMN (1,4 Sight®) During the storage cycle, when sprouting is observed on tubers where CIPC, or DIPN or DMN applications were made earlier, these can be treated with AMV1018 to burn off the sprouts. The best timi ng of application is when at least 75% of the tubers show visible signs of sp routing (“peeping”). Al ternatively, CIPC, DIPN or DMN and AMV-1018 can also be appl ied sequentially on the same day, when visible sprouting is observed. Either product may be applied first, immediately followed by t he other product or co-injected into the fogging equipment. Follow all use direct ions and product precautions.

(ii) AMV-1018 Sprout Cont rol Programs with Maleic hydrazide (Royal MH-30®): At dormancy break, potatoes treated with Royal MH-30 prior to harvest can be treated with AMV-1018 later in storage to furt her extend the spro ut-free period of tubers. Depending on storage temperature and potato vari ety, an additional 1-3 months of sprout control may be achi eved. Make additional applications as
needed.

(c) Sprout Control in Potat oes undergoing Reconditioning: When stored at low temperat ures, reducing sugars incr ease in tubers and affects the fry quality of potatoes. Such t ubers can be reconditioned by raising the storage temperature leading to lower r educing sugar content. Such conditions, however, favor sprouting. AMV-1018 can be used effectively to burn off sproutsAMV1018.EP.20130115 during the reconditioning phase, or even just prior to shipment. For best results, do not allow potato sprouts to exceed 1 inch (2.5 cm) at the time of treatment.

(d) Rescue of Storage Potatoes with Ex cessive Sprouting: In cases where storage conditions lead to undesirable sprout ing, especially during late in the storage cycle, AMV-1018 can be effectively us ed to “burn off” sprouts which are up to1 inch (2.5cm). Apply AMV1018 at the rate of 4.2 fl oz per ton (0.21 fl oz per cwt).
