water.

3. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts.

4. Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety de vices for public water systems are in place.

5. 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.

Connection of the irrigation system to a public water system is not recommended, however if the irrigation system is connected to the public system:

1. 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 regularl y serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out of the yea r. 2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone, back flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system sh ould be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shall be a complete phy sical 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.

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection.

4. The 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located on the intake side of the injection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.

5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops, or in cases wher e there is no water pump, when the wate r 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.

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

For Overhead Sprinkler Chemigation

1. The system must contain a functional check valve, vacuum relief valve, and low pres sure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow.

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.6 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 when the irrigation system is either automatically or manually shut down.

### GREENHOUSE USE - ORNAMENTALS

POST-PLANT APPLICATIONS TO PLANTS GROWN IN PROPAGATION BEDS

Water in the MULTIGUARD® PROTECT EC through tubes or drip tapes at 3.0 to 5.2 gallons per treated acre (0.069 to 0.103 gal/1000 sq ft, or 22.3 to 45 lb/a). This application method moves the MULTIGUARD® PROTECT EC into the plant r oot zone. Use sufficient drip lines to gi ve complete coverage of the planting bed. Prior to application, MULTIGUARD® PROTEC T EC should be diluted at least 1: 9 with water. Dilution at less than 1:9 may be made if the mix tank has adequate mech anical and/or bypass agitation to keep the mixture in suspension. The recommended minimum dilution rate is 5 gallons of the product in 45 gallons of water. Apply 4-8 applications per crop at 14-28 day intervals. Post-plant applications control plant parasitic nematodes and certain fungal diseases.

DRENCH APPLICATIONS

MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC may be used as a pre-plant or post-plant drench in water for the control of stem and root diseases in potted plants . Begin applications before the plants become infested. Apply as a full pot drench at 2.5 to 5.0 fl oz. in 100 gallons of water, on a 7-28 day schedule throughout the growing season. Use 5.0 fl oz/100 gallons of water when high infesta tion levels are expected. Normally the 14 to 28 day application schedule is acceptable, however follow the 7 da y application schedule if hi gh levels of infestations are expected or if there has been a history of high leve ls of infestation. Apply the solution until it begins to drip through the bottom of the pots. For most potting me dia apply at least 1 pint of drench solution to each square foot of plants grown in 4 inch deep pots. This volume of drench is equivalent to 125 gallons of

water/1000 ft 2 . For deeper pots increase the amount of drenchi ng solution to maintain this ratio of drench solution to potting media volume in order to obtain complete movement through the potting media.

DRIP IRRIGATION WATER OR FERT ILIZER SOLUTION APPLICATIONS

MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC can be watered into the grow ing media through drip irrigation systems. Prepare a stock solution of 1 gallon of product in 99 gallons of water or liqui d fertilizer and inject it into the7 irrigation stream at a 1:200 ratio duri ng one irrigation cycle per day. This d ilution gives a final concentration of 50 ppm of furfural in the ir rigation water and if 125 gallons of water is applied/1000ft 2 of surface area the use

rate of MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC is 0.75 fl oz /1000 ft 2 for each irrigation. If a nother injection ratio is used, adjust the concentration of MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC in the stock solution appropriately. This use controls the nematodes and funga l diseases listed on this label. Do not inject MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC into the drip irrigation system for the fi rst and last hour of the irrigation session.

OVER THE TOP APPLICATIONS WITH SPRAY BOOM OR OVERHEAD IRRIGATION SYSTEM.

MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC may be applied over the top of the plant canopy with either a spray boom or irrigation system. Begin applications prior to plants becoming infested. Apply MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT

EC at 8 to 16 fl oz/ 1000 ft 2 of plant/potting media surface in a mi nimum of 20 gallons solution per 1000 ft 2 on a 7-28 day schedule throughout the gr owing season. The 16 fl oz/1000ft 2 rate should be used when high infestation levels are expected. Normally the 14 to 28 da y application schedule is ac ceptable, however use the 7 day application schedule if hi gh levels of infestations are expected or if there has been a history of high levels of

infestation. Immediately after the app lication, apply additional irrigation wa ter irrigation that does not contain

MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC over the plant ca nopy to water in the MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC, giving a total of at least 125 gallons of water/1000 ft 2 of plant canopy/potting media surface. For the

MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC to be effective at controlling the soil pathogens/nematodes, it must be moved into the plant root zone.

SPOT TREATMENTS WITH LOW PR ESSURE BACK PACK SPRAYER

MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC may be applied over the top of the plant canopy with a low pressure back pack type sprayer. Applications should begin prio r to plants becoming infested. Apply MULTIGUARD ®

PROTECT EC at 8 to 16 fl oz/1000 ft 2 of plant/potting media surface in a minimum of 20 gallons solution per

1000 ft 2 on a 7-28 day schedule throughout the gr owing season. Use the 16 fl oz/1000ft 2 rate when high infestation levels are expected. Normally the 14 to 28 day application schedule is ac ceptable, however use the 7 day application schedule if hi gh levels of infestations are expected or if there has been a history of high levels of

infestation. Immediately after the MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC application appl y additional irrigation water

that does not contain MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC over the plant canopy to water in the MULTIGUARD ®
PROTECT EC, giving a total of at least 125 gallons of water/1000 ft 2 of plant canopy/potting media surface.

For the MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC to be effective at control ling the soil diseases/nematodes, it must be moved into the plant root zone

A single applicator must not apply spot treatments to an area of more than 2,000 ft 2 per day using hand-held methods for application of MULTIGUARD ® PROTECT EC.
