GENERAL USE INFORJ\.IATlON -Agricultural Use 

Rhapsody ASO is an effective broad spectrum, preventative 

biofungicide for the control of many importunt foliar und 

20fi8 

soil-borne diseuses. Rhapsody ASO is nn ideal 

resistance management tool given its unique, multiple modes 

of action. It may be applied as a roliar spray or soil drench 

alone, in alternating spray programs or in tank mixcs with 

otlter registered crop protection products. For maximum 

effectiveness, apply Rhapsody ASO prior to or in the early 

stages of disease devclopment. When conditions arc 

conducive to heavy disease pressure, usc Rhapsody ASO 

in a rotational program with other registered fungicides. 

Rhapsody ASO may be applied with spray equipment 

commonly used for making ground or aerial applications 

and sprinkler/irrigation systems commonly used for 

chemigation. Rhapsody ASO can be used for organic 

production. 

{OPTIONAL STATEMENT: Rhapsody ASO is most 

effecth'ely used in a pre\'enth'e disease management 

program. For improved performance use Rhapsody 

ASO in a tank-ntb: or rotational program with otlter 

registered fungicides. When using Rhapsody ASO alone 

for tlte first time a rate of 4 quarts per acre is 

recommended. Depending upon disease pressure the 

rate can be increased and/or spray illten'als decreased. 

To enhance performance it is recommended that a 

surfactant {such as Biotune], known to be safe to the 

target crop, be added to the spray tank to improve 

penetration and coverage of above-ground portions of 

the plant.] 

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (lPM) 

For discase resistance managcment, integrate Rhapsody 

ASO into an nverall disease and pest management strategy 

whenever fungicide use is necessary. FolJow practices 

known to reduce disease development. Consult local 

agricultural authorities for specific IPM strategics developed 

for your crnp(s) and location. 

Be sure use of this product conforms to resistance 

management strategies, which may includc rotating and/or 

tank-mixing with other products with different modes of 

nction. 

USE RATE DETERMINATION -Agricultural Use 

Carefully read and follow alliabcl directions, usc rates and 

restrictions. Apply Rhapsody ASO prior to or in the early 

stages of disease development. Use maximum label rates 

and shortened spray intervals for conditions conducive to 

rapid disease devclopment. For proper application, 

determine the area to be treated, Ihe recommended label use 

rate and select appropriate spmy volume to give good 

canopy penetration and coverage of plant pans to be 

protected. Prepare only the amount of spray solution 

required 10 treat the measured acreage. Accurate spray 

equipment calibration is essential prior to use. 

PREHARVEST INTERV AL- Agricultural Use 

Rhapsody ASO can be applied up to and including the day 

oflmrvest.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS - Agricultural Use 

GENERAL: A voiding spray drift at the application site 

is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 

many equipment~and-weather-related factors dctermine 

the potential for spray drift. The applicator and the 

grower/treatment coordinator are responsible for 

considering all of these factors when making decisions. 

Where states have more stringent regulations, they 

should be observed. Note: This section is advisory ill 

natnre and does not supersede the mandatory label 

requirements. 

GROUND: Be sure to maintain agitation during mixing and 

application to assure uniform product suspension. Thorough 

coverage of all foliage is essential for effective disease 

~ontrol. Rhapsody ASO can be applied in commonly 

used ground equipment, hose-end. pressurized. greenhouse. 

and hand-held sprayers. To achieve good ~overage use 

proper spray pressure, gallonage per acre, nozzles. nozzle 

spacing und ground speed. Consul! spray nozzle and 

accessory catalogues for specific in/ormation on proper 

• equipment calibmtion. 

• 

AERIAL: This product can be applied by aerial 

application. Refer to the Aerial Drift Reduction 

Advisory Information section of this lahel for general 

directions and precautions. Use the application rate 

indicated for the approptiate crop in sufficient water to 

achieve thorough coverage, or a minimum of 3 gallons of 

water per acre. 

CHEMICA TlON: This product can he applied through 

sprinkler or drip type irrigation systems, including a 

center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side wheel roll, 

traveler, solid set, and hand move, Refer to the 

Chemigation Directions for Use section of this label for 

genenti directions and precautions. Use the applicatioll 

rate indicated for the appropriate crop as specified in the 

Usc Recommendations section of this label. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS - Agricultural Use 

MIXING: Rhapsody ASO must be diluted with wuter for 

spray applications. Panially fill the spray tank with clean 

wuter and begin agitation. Add the specified amount of 

Rhupsody ASO to the tank. Finish tilling the tank to the 

desired volume to obtain the proper spray concentration. It 

is critical that the spray solution be agitated during mixing 

and application to assure a uniform suspension. Do not 

allow the spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged 

periods. [Optional Statement: Maintain a spray solution pH 

between 4.5 and 8.5]. 

Rhupsody ASO muy be tank-mixed with other registered 

fungicides to enhance plant disease control. Do 110t exceed 

recommendcd dosage rates. Rhapsody ASO cannot be 

mixed with any product with prohibition against such 

mixing. Use of the resll1ting tank mix must be in accordance 

with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions.

COMPATIBILITY: Do not combine Rhapsody 

ASO in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or 

fertilizers if there has been no previous experience or use of 

the combination to show it is physically compatible, 

effective and non-i njurious IInder your use conditions. 

Rhupsody ASO is compatible with many commonly used 

pesticides, fertilizcrs, adjuvants and smfactants but has not 

been fully evaluated with all of these. To ensure -

compatibility of tank-mix combinations they should be 

evaluated prior to use, as follows: Using a suitable container 

add proportional amounts of product to water. Add wcttable 

powders first, followed by wuter dispersible granules, then 

by liquid flowables and lastly, emulsifiable Concentrates. 

Mix thoroughly and let stand for at least five minutes. If the 

combination stays mixed or can be remixed, it is physically 

compatible. Test the combination on a small portion of 

the crop to be treated to ensllre tllat a phytotoxic 

response will not occur as a rcsult of application. 

[OPTIONAL STATEMENT: Do not usc with penetranttype adjuvants.] 

ADDITIVES: Rhapsody ASO is compatible with a wide 

range of additives. Since the product is primarily a 

protectant, thorough coverage of all above-ground plant 

parts is required for effective product performance. To 

improve plant surface coverage, it is rccommended to add 

-a non-phytotoxic adjuvant [such as Biotunenf] to spray 

tank.

AERIAL DRIFT REDUCTION ADVISORY 

INFORMATION 

General: Avoiding spray drift at the application site is 

the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of 

many cquipment-and-weather-related factors determine 

the potcntial for spray drift. The applicator and the 

grower are responsible for considering all these factors 

when making decisions. Where states have more 

stringent regulations, they should be obscrved. Note: This 

section is advisory in nature and docs not supersede the 

mandatory label requiremenls. 

5
20 February 2006 Rhapsody ASO Masler Label 50fl8 

INFORMA TION ON DROPLET SIZE: The most wind patterns and how they affect spray drift. 

effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply large 

droplets. The best drift management strategy is to apply 

the largest droplets that provide sufficient coverage and 

control. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, 

but will not prevent drift if applications are made 

improperly, or under unfavorable environmental 

conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity. and 

Temperature Inversions). 

CONTROLLING DROPLET SIZE: Volume - Use high 

now rale nozzles to apply the Ilighest practical spray 

volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger 

droplets. Pressure -Do not exceed the nozzle 

manufacturer's recommended pressures. For man,Y 

nozzle types lower pressure produces larger droplets. 

When high now rates are needed, use higher now rate 

nozzles instead of increasing pressure. # of Nozzles - Use 

the minimum number of nozzles that provide uniform 

coverage. Nozzle OrieHtation - Orienting nozzles so that 

the spray is relcased paraliel to the airstream produces 

larger droplets than other orientations and is the 

• 

rccommended practice. Significant deflection from 

horizontal will reduce droplet size and increase drift 

potential. Nozzle Type - Usc a nozzle type that is 

• 

designed for the intended application. With most nozzfe 

types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. 

Consider using low-drift nozzles. Solid stream nozzles 

oriented straight back produce the largest -droplets and 

the lowest drift. 

BOOM WIDTH: For aerial applications, the bOom width 

must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the 

rotary blade. Use upwind swath displacemeut and apply 

only when wind speed is 3 -- IO mph as measured by an 

anemometer. Use medium or coarser spray according to 

ASAE 572 definition for standard nozzles or VMD for 

spinning atomizer nozzles. If application includes a nospray zone, do not release spray at a height greater tlmn 

10 feet above the ground or the crop canopy • 

APPLICATION HEIGHT: Do not make application at a 

height greater than IO feet above the top of the largest 

plants unless a greater height is required for aircraft 

safety. Making applications at the lowest height that is 

safe reduces exposure of droplets to evaporation and 

wind. 

SWATH ADJUSTMENT: When applications arc made 

with a crosswind, the swath will be displaced downward. 

Therefore, on the up and downwind edges of the field, 

the applicator must compensate for this displacement by 

adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind. Swath 

adjustment distance should increase, with inereasing 

drift potential (higher wind, smaller drops, etc.). 

WIND: Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2 

- IO mph. However. many factors, including droplet size 

and equipment type determine drift potential at any 

given speed. Application should be avoided below 2 mph 

due to variable wind direction and high inversion 

potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind 

patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local 

TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY: When making 

applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment 

to produce larger droplet') to compensate for 

evaporation. Droplet evaporatioH is most severe when 

conditions arc both hot and dry. 

TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: Do not apply during a 

temperature inversion because drift potenlial is high. 

Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, 

which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a 

concentrated cloud. This cloud can mOve in 

unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds 

common during inversions. Temperature inversions arc 

characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude 

and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and 

light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and 

often continue into the morning. Their presence can be 

indicatcd by gronnd fog; however, if fog is not present, 

inversions can also be identified by the movement of 

smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke 

generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a 

concentrated e10ud (under low wind conditions) indicates 

. an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and 

rapidly dissipates indicotes good vertical air mixing. 

SENSITIVE AREAS: The pesticide should only be 

applied when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive 

. areas (e.g. residential areas, bodies of water, known 

habitat for threatened or endangered species, non-target 

crops) is miuimal (e.g. when wind is blowing away from 

the sensitive areas). Do not allow spray to drift from tbe 

application site and contact people, structures people 

occupy at any time and the associated property, parks 

and recreation areas, non-target crops, aquatic and 

wetland arcas, woodlands, pastures, rangelands, or 

animals.

USE RATE DETERMINATION -Agricultural Use 

Carefully read and follow aU label directions, use rates and restrictions. Use maximum label rates and shortened spray 

intervals for conditions conducive to rapid disease development. For proper application, determine the area to be treated, 

the recommended label use rate and select appropriate spray volume to give good canopy penetration and coverage of 

plant parts to be protected. Prepare only the amount of spray solution required to treat the measured acreage. Accurate 

spray equipment calibration is essential prior to use. 

PREHARVEST INTERVAL - Agricultural Use 

Rhapsody ASO can be applied up to and including the day of harvest. 

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS - Agricultural Use 

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment-andweather-related factors determine the potential for spray drift. The applicator and Ihe grower/treatment coordinator are 

responsible for considering all of theses factors when making decisions. 

GROUND: Be sure to maintain agitation during mixing and application to assure uniform product suspension. Thorough 

coverage of all foliage is essential for effective disease control. 

_hapsody ASO can be applied in commonly used ground equipment, hose-end, pressurized greenhouse, and hand-held 

'8prayers. To achieve good coverage use proper spray pressure, gallonage per acre, nozzles, nozzle spacing and ground 

speed. Consult spray nozzle and accessory catalogues for specific information on proper equipment calibration. 

AERIAL: Do not apply this produc,t by air. 

CHEMIGATION: This product can be applied to soH in greenhouses and enclosed nurseries through sprinkler or drip type 

irr~gation systems. Do not apply this produqt through any other type of irrigation system. Re~er to the Che~igation 

Directions for Use section of this label for general and specific directions and precautions. Use the application rate 

indicated for the appropriate crop as specified in the Use Recommendations section. 

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS -Agricultural Use 

MIXING: Rhapsody ASO must be diluted with water for spray applications. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water and 

begin agitation. Add the specified amount of Rhapsody ASO to the tank. Finish filling the tank to the desired volume to 

obtain the proper spray concentration. It is critical that the spray solution be agitated during mixing and application to 

assure a uniform suspension. Do not allow the spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. Maintain a 

spray solution pH between 4.5 and B.S. 

_hapSOdY ASO may be tank-mixed with other registered fungiCides to enhance plant disease control. Do not exceed 

recommended dosage rates. Rhapsody ASO cannot be mixed with any product with prohibition against such mixing. Use 

of the resulting tank mix must be in accordance with the more restrictive label limitations and precautions. 

COMPATIBILITY: Do not combine Rhapsody ASO in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants or fertilizers if there has 

been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective and non-injurious 

under your use conditions. 

Rhapsody ASO is compatible with many commonly used pesticides, fertilizer and adjuvants. To ensure compatibility of 

tank-mix combinations they should be evaluated in a jar test prior to use, as follows: Using a suitable container add 

proportional amounts of products to water. Add wettable powders first, followed by water dispersible granules, then liquid 

flowables, and lastly, emulsifiable concentrates. Mix thoroughly and let stand for at least five minutes. If the combination 

stays mixed or can be remixed. it is physicaJly compatible. 

ADDITIVES: Rhapsody ASO is compatible with a wide range of additives. Since the product is primarily a protectantand thorough coverage of all above-ground plant parts is required - it is recommended that an adjuvant [such as 

Biotonen"j known to be non-phytotoxic to the plant be added to the spray tank.

located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water source contamination from back flow." 

It 

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

4, ''The system must contain functional inter·locking controls to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump 

when the water pump motor stops." 

5. "The irrigation line or water pump must include a funclfonal 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" 

REqUIREMENTS FOR CHEMIGATION SYSTEMS CONNECTED TO PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS 

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 regular serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 

days out of the year. 

2, Chemigation systems connected to public water systemS must contain a functional, reduced·pressure zon'e, back 

flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream form the point of pesticide 

introduction As an option 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. 

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. e 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 where there is no water pump, 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

Hi Gary, 

The label looks good. I have only one comment. 

Page 4: Under the "ADDITIVES" section have inctuded as option in brackets " ..•. it is 

recommended that an adjuvant [such as Biotone] known ........ " 

We do not generally permit use of the word recommended in labels (see PR Notice 2000·5). The 

Agency prefers use of directive terms for mandatory requirements and descriptive terms not 

non mandatory statements. See below. 

Your version: 

Since the product is primarily a protectant . and thorough coverage of all above·ground plant 

parts is required· it is recommended that an adjuvant such as Biotone known to be nonphytotoxic 

to the plant be added to the spray tank . 

Descriptive version: 

Since the product is primarily a protectant, thorough coverage of all above·ground plant parts is 

required for effective product performance. To improve plant surface coverage, add a 

non phytotoxic adjuvant, such as Biotone, to the spray tank. 

I also noticed that your Use Boxes 11ave a column titled 'Use Recommendations'. Please replace 

this with a more descriptive title (e.g. Applica·tion Instructions).

Attached as a ward document is the revised draft label for Rhapsody ASQ, incorporating the changes we 

have discussed. The changes should be highlighted in red. There were 16 page numbers inserted in the

Subiect: Re: Rhapsody ASQ, EPA File Symbol 69592·RO, Additional 

Comments Regarding Revised label!] 

I reviewed the Rhapsody ASO label. Here are my comments. 

1. On page 2, I will let you decide which NIOSH statement to use. 

2. For WPS products, you must include all three U?er Safety Recommendations statements (see 

LRM 10·18). 

3. On page 5, the statement "Since it is impossible to test all species and cultivars under all 

conditions it is recommended that a small·scale preliminary trial be conducted ... ". Please change 

the beginning of this sentence to "Since it is impossible to test all of the species and cultivars 

listed on this label. . .". The present sentence leads the reader to conclude that the product may be 

used on any species. This is not the case. The product may only be used on species that are listed 

on the label. 

4. Regarding your requests to expand the Chemigation language to include a wider variety of 

chemigation systems, please note that there are separate chemigation instructions for 'floor 

(basin), furrow, and border chemigation'. I'm assuming that you don't want to include instructions 

for these systems on your label. You may indicate that the product can be used in other sprinkler 

or drip· type system. However, do not use the sweeping 'statement "for all chemigatlon systems" 

unless you intend to include chemigation instructions for 'fldor (basin), furrow, arid border 

chemigatton' systems. 

Everything else looks OK. Since there's a rush on this label, please send me the updated version in 

a word file. When we agree on the final version, I will ask you to fax or over· night me a hard copy. 

Please let me know when to expect the updated label. 

Thanks, 

Tessa

Tessa, 

In addition, I have continued to review this label and have found other revisions which need to me made 

on the label hich were n~t addressed in your comments. Following are the revisions I am proposing; 

1. Page 4 of ,\vised Label, under CHEMIGATION heading: 

Would like to re~~e the first sentence to this section to read something like th'ls: "This product can be 

applied in greenh.fuses and enclosed nurseries through any type of sprinkler system commonty 

used, including bU\ not limited to hand move, solid set and drip(trickle) irrigation systems." 

The current sentence\~mits the use of the product through only two types of systems and they are not the 

only systems used, '\ 

2. Page 5 of Revised Lalj-el, under "Greenhouse and Outdoor Grown Plants" heading: 

\ 

In the first sentence, would like to revise "2 to 8 quarts of product in 100-300 gallons of water" to read 

"2 to 10 quarts of product i~00-300 gallons of water". 

Also at the end of the paragraph\under this heading, I would like to add the following sentence: "When 

more diluted or concentrated spray solutions are needed for the type of equipment being used, 

follow 'the "Use Rate Determinatiqn" section of this labet". 

\ 3. Page g of Revised Label, beginning, of the Chemigation Directions for Use, 

\ 

Delete the heading, "HAND MOVE AND ~RIP CHEMIGATION" and revise it to read "CHEMIGATtON 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE" \ 

Under the "GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: R\vise the first sentence to read; "Apply this product 

through any type of sprinkler system commb.[lly used in greenhouses and enclosed nurseries, 

including but not limited to hand move, solid set and drip(trickle) irrigation systems." ,

Again, the current sentence limits the use of the prOd\t through only two types of systems and they are 

not the only systems used.

Subject: Serenade MAX, EPA File Symbol 69592-RR and 

Rhapsody ASO, EPA File Symbol 69592-RO 

You should receive via FED EX this moming the revised CSF for Serenade MAX, EPA File Symbol 

69592-RR and a revised label for Rhapsody ASO EPA File Symbol 69592-RO, incorporating changes 

suggested in your comments to Don Edgecomb on May JO, 2004. 

The following comments addressing each of the suggested label revisions for Rhapsody was not included 

in the FED EX package: 

1. The bracketed statemerits are meant to be optional stat' fuents used when the package size is to small 

to allow the First Aid statements on the front panel. As y indicated, they are used as referral statements 

on the front panel of the label in those situations. In th ast brackets have been used to reflect optional 

s1atement on master labels. Found on Page 1 of re ed label. 

2. Under the PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) section your suggestions have been added 

to the label for discussion purposes since I some questions. I could not find any reference in the Label 

Review Manual or PR Notices addressing the statement "Mixer/loaders and applicators must wear a (\L 

dusVmist fif1ering respirator meeting NIOSH standards of at least N-95, R-95 or P-95. Repeated exposure 

to high concentrations of microbial proteins can cause allergic sensitization." The precau1ionary labeling 

reflects that the product is no more than a Tox Category Ifl for inhalation which does not require the use of 

respirators. Therefore, it would appear that this statement should not be required on the label. What is 

the basis for this request? Found on Page 2 of revised label. 

-1"' 

3. Under 1he USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS the following statements you suggested are \ ~<:t,:.: 

reflected on the label, with reservationS: "Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside.Then 'Jx' :0-"'-

wash 1horoughly and put on clean clothing. Remove PPE immediately after handling Ihis product. Wash ~ ~ .jY 

the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, was thoroughly and change into clean r ~ v" 

clothing". What is the jus1ification for including these on the label? Again, these statements appear to be .J.J-~ 

applicable to more toxic producls and therefore should not be required on subjectlabeJ. Found on Page 2 .:;:::.'*' 

of revised label. v4 

4. The NON-AGRICULTURE USE REQUIREM TS bo has been included on the label as requested. 

Found on Page 3 of revised label. 

5. The firs1 statement of the Mixing Instructions," hapsody ASO is intended for difution with water for 

spray applications" has been replaced, as su g sted with "Rhapsody ASO must be diluted with water for 

spray applications" but I believe they should b sed as optional altemate statements. 

55
6. The statements reflecting "prior experieLe been revised for clarification. Found on Pages 4 and 

10 of revised label. 

7. As suggested within the Application Rates s~, the words nspray solution" have been revised to 

"water", Found on page 5 of revised Jabel. 'J'"'''' 

8. The statement you suggested be revised for clarification now reads, "Since it is impossible to test aU 

species and cuJtivars under all conditions it is recommended that a smalJ·scale preliminary trial be 

conducted to check for sensitivity before using this product on a large number of plants, using the product 

in accordance with all label use directions", Found on page 5 of revised label. 

9. The section regarding Chemigation has been reVi~~S suggested, combining the Hand Move and 

Drip Chemigation sections. This is found on page~o o~ revised label. 

In addition I have revised the Hose-End Sprayer A~tiOn Instructions. Found on Page 12 of revised 

label. 

It would appear that the First Aid Statements to not frt the toxicology of the product and would like to 

discuss this with you, along with the above revisions once you have review the label.

Dear Donald, 

To: dedgecomb@agraquest.com 

cc: 

Subject: label amendment for Rhapsody ASO 

I reviewed the version of the Rhapsody ASO label that Lesley gave to me at our Wednesday (May 

5) meeting. My comments are listed below: 

L On pages 1 and 11, referrals to First Aid statements (top of column 2) are placed in brackets. I / 

am not sure what the brackets are intended to signify? Please note that when First Aid statements 

are placed anywhere other than the front panel of the label, a referral statement must be placed 

on the front panel of the label. 

2. On page 1, within the Personal Protective Equipment section, you must replace the bulleted 

statement "NIOSH approved respirator with any NRP or HE filter", with the non·bulletted 

statement, "Mixers/loaders and applicators must wear a dust/mist filtering respirator meeting 

NIOSH standards of at least N·95, R·95 or P-95. Repeated exposure to high concentrations of 

microbial proteins can cause allergic sensitization." This sentence may be followed by, "When 

handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements 

listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides (40 CFR 

170.240(d)(4·6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the 

WPS." This statement is optional and should only be included if some handlers will be using closed 

systems or enclosed cabs. 

3. On page 1. the User Safety Recommendations box should include all of the following 

statements: 

Users should: 

• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. 

• Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on 

clean clothing. 

• Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before 

removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. 

4. The product is labeled for non·agricultural uses (ornamentals and residential use), thus a 

Non·Agricultural Use Requirements box must be inserted after the Agricultural Use Requirements 

box on page 2. The box should include the following: 

NOli-Agricultural Use Requirements 

The requirements in this box apply to llses that are NOT with in tile scope oflhe Worker Protection Standard for 

agricultural pcsticides (40 CFR Part 170). The WPS applies when this product is llscd to produce agricultural plants 

on farms. forests, nllrseries or greenhouses. 

Keep ullprolt!ctetl persons Ollt of the treated areas ulltil sprays havc dricd. 

5. On page 2, the first sentence under Mixing Instructions is unclear. Consider changing it to 

"Rhapsody ASQ must be diluted with water for spray applications." 

6. On page 3, in the first paragraph of the Compatability section, and in the first paragraph on 

page 10, what does "prior experience" refer to? I'm assuming that you mean the jar test, but this 

should be clarified for the reader. 

7. On page 3, within the Application Rates section, you should replace the words "spray solution" 

with "water~. 

58
8. On page 3, within the second paragraph under Post Harvest, the label reads "However, it is 

impossible to test this product with all species and cultivars under all conditions. A sma!l·scale 

preliminary tnal should be conducted to check the cultivar sensitivity before using this product on 

a large number of plants." These statements lead the reader to question whether It is Ok to use 

the product on non· labeled use sites. There should be no question about this. The product may 

only be applied to labeled use sites. Please clarify the wording of these sentences. 

8. On page 10, use the same Specific Requirements for Hand Move and Drip Chemigation. It may 

be easiest to combine these sections, so that the heading reads "Hand Move and Drip (Trickle) 

Chemigation". This way the Specific Requirements will be listed only once for these Chemigation 

methods. Delete the requirements presently listed under Hand Move Irrigation Equipment. Place 

nonspecific requirements below the heading "Hand Move and Drip (Trickle) Chemigation and 

above Specific Requirements. Read instruction sets 1 and 2 for information on what to include in 

the Nonspecific ReqUirements section. You may choose not to use the Nonspecific ReqUirements 

heading. 

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding my comments. 

Best,

The subject pesticide product labels were a!l initia!ly conditionally registered, based upon 

AgraQuest's commitment to conduct or repeat several supporting studies and to respond to 

certain Agency concerns. Separate submissions were made on August 31, 2000 and July 16, 

2001 to fulfill all but one of the data requirements (a repeat honeybee toxicity study). The 

conditional registration status for these products was subsequently extended by the Agency to 

July 1,2004. The report of the repeat honeybee toxicity study was submitted to the Agency on 

January 9, 2004. 

On April 27, 2004, Ms. Susanne Cerrelli, Microbial Pesticides Branch, advised AgraQuest in an 

e-mail communication that "The bee study that was submitted to support all of the Bacillus 

slIbtilis QST 713 products is in review with the contractors, and is not due out until June 18, 

2004. Although we are committed to complete the ecological assessment quickly, it is possible 

that the assessment will not be completed before July 1,2004." 

Also, the December 23, 2003 notice of conditional registration for Serenade Garden Disease 

Control Ready To Use (EPA Reg. No. 69592-16) imposed a new registration condition,

year, until July 1,2005. ' . 

We would greatly appreciate an early response to this request to extend the conditional

Subject: RE: AgraQuest Correspondence Items 

I have some comments on the submitted label for Rhapsody ASO that I was hoping you could 

clarify. 

These include: 

1) On page 3, in the "COMPATIBILITY" section, it is mentioned that 'Rhapsody ASO may be tank 

mixed with other registered fungicides... Rhapsody ASO is compatible with many commonly used 

pesticides, fertilizer and adjuvants." It then says ''To ensure compatibility do not combine 

Rhapsody ASO in spray tank with pesticides, surfactants and adjuvants unless prior experience 

has shown the combination physically compatible, effective and non-injurious under your use 

conditions." 

• The statements appear to contradict each other. Are there specific fungicides, pesticides, 

• 

surfactants, and/or adjuvants that are recommended by'AgraQuest? Will some of these 

chemicals kill the active ingredient in Rhapsody ASO? Unless the user experiments with your 

product, it would be difficult to determine what combinations are physically compatible, effective 

and non-injurious, and it is noted that the warranty doesn't appear to cover such experimentation. 

Please comment and clarify the direction for use section. 

2) On page 3, under the "Greenhouse and outdoor grown plants" heading, 

it is not clear to the user how to make the "spray solution" or what the ·spray solution" is. 

3) On page 8·9, 

the chemigation statements are missing specific items from PR notice 87·1. Statements specific 

for each type of equipment are required. In addition it needs to be clarified whether agitation is 

recommended in the supply tank. Statements listed in section IX of the PR notice appear to be 

missing. Please go through PR 87·1 and ensure that all of the required statements are listed . 

4) On page 10, 

the first aid statements for the home and garden use are missing. 

Can you also please clarify whether the home and garden product will bear an alternate brand 

name? 

5) Are you sure that the correct CSF was submitted? The product name on the submitted CSF, 

"Rhapsody," does not match the product name on your application form "Rhapsody ASO.~ Please 

resubmit the correct CSF with the correct product name directly to me by courier. 

Please at you earliest convenience, address these comments and Fax me a copy of the revised 

label. However, if this is not resolved within 30 days, I may have to address the deficiencies 

formally with a letter instead, because of the pending deadlines under PRIA. Please contact me if 

you have questions at 7D3·308·8D77.

Re: Application for Registration of Rhapsody'" ASO (Active Ingredient 

Bacillussubtilis Strain QST 713) to Control Certain Plant Diseases on 

Ornamental Crops, Greenhouse Agricultural Crops, and Horne and 

Garden Plants 

Dear Mr. Szuhay: 

Per the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act, this submission is 

identified as BPPD Fee Category B66 (CR category 11), New product, MeToo, Fast Track, with a fee payable of $1000. AgraQuest, Inc., will submit this 

fee when EPA concurs with the category. 

AgraQuest, Inc., is hereby submitting an application for registration of Rhapsody 

ASO, an organic aqueous suspension formulation product, for the control of 

various Ornamental, Greenhouse Agricultural, and Home and Garden plant 

diseases including but not limited to powdery mildew, Alternaria, Botrytis, 

CercDspora, Sc/erotinia, and Xanthomonas. 

Rhapsody ASO contains the active ingredient Bacillus subtilis Strain QST 713. 

The Technical Grade of this active ingredient is already registered, EPA 

Registration Number 69592-5. Rhapsody ASO is identical in formulation to the 

recently registered product, Serenade® ASO, EPA Registration Number 69592-

12. The data requirements for registration therefore have been satisfied. A 

separate Data Matrix is submitted herein, which is identical to that supporting 

Serenade ASO.

April 2, 2004 

EPA is currently reviewing a honey bee study conducted with the active 

ingredient, QST 713 Technical, which was submitted to fulfill the last conditional 

registration requirement for the active ingredient and its end use products. Per a 

discussion with Susanne Cerrel/i, this review and an ecotoxicity risk assessment 

must be completed before EPA will consider outdoor use label expansions. 

The proposed label for Rhapsody ASO contains the same uses as the label for 

our currently registered product, Rhapsody AS, with the exception of the addition 

of use directions for greenhouse soil drench and herbs/spices. Both of these 

uses are restricted within a protected environment, thus their addition to the label 

should not be affected or approval delayed by the above review and risk 

assessment. 

In compliance with 40 CFR Part 172.4, the following information is included with 

this application, as numbered attachments to this cover letter . 

1. EPA Application Form (EPA Form 8570-1) 

2. Certification with Respect to Citation of Data (EPA Form 8570-29)
