### PRECAUTIONS

Keep out of reach of children. Harmful if swallowed, i nhaled, or absorbed through skin. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or clothing. Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the

toilet.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.

Prothioconazole-desthio (a degradate of prothioconazole) is toxic to shrimp. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.

Prothioconazole-desthio (a degradate of prothioconazole) is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground-water contamination.

This product may contaminate water through drift of spray in wind. This product has a high potential for runoff for several months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow watertables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours.Page 3 of 9 

### STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.

Pesticide Storage : Do not store below freezing. If stored for 1 year or longer, shake well before using. Store the tightly closed container away from feeds, seeds, fe rtilizer, plants and foodstuffs. Keep the product in the original container during storage.

Pesticide Disposal: Pesticide wastes may be toxic. Improper disposal of unused pesticide, spray mixture, or rinse water is a violation of federal law. If these wastes cannot be used according to label instruction, contact your State Pesticide or Environmental Control Agency, or the Hazardous Waste representative at the nearest EPA Regional Office for guidance in proper disposal methods.

Container Disposal: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Offer for recycling, if available. Triple rinse container (or equivalent) prompt ly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Fill the container 1⁄4 full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two more times. After triple rinsing procedure, dispose of container.



### Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

Applicators and other handlers must wear long-sleeved sh irt and long pants, shoes plus socks, and chemicalresistant gloves made of any of any waterproof material such as natural rubber > 14 mils. (if more options are needed, follow the instructions for category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category selection chart).

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions exist for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.

### AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about pers onal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker

Protection Standard.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 48 hours for all crops.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and thatinvolves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water is: coveralls over longsleeved shirt and long pants, socks and shoes, and chemical -resistant gloves made of any of any waterproof

GENERAL INFORMATION PROPULSE is a broad-spectrum fungicide with prevent ative, systemic and curative properties recommended for the control or suppression of certain crop diseases. When reference is made to disease suppression, suppression can mean either erratic control from good to fair or consistent control at a level below that obtained with the best commercial product.

LABELED USES Dried beans, peanut, and sugarbeet.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENTThe active ingredients in PROPULSE Fungicide belong to two different fungicide groups, the pyridinyl-ethylbenzamides (Group 7) and the DMI or demethylation inhibi tors (Group 3). To maintain long-term effectiveness of this fungicide, follow the specific resistance management guidance listed at the bottom of each crop label. Additionally, the following general recommendations should be considered to delay the development of fungicide resistance.

1. Start spray programs early: Spray programs that begin before pathogens attack keep fungal populations

low and reduce the likelihood of resistance. Consult your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or manufacturer representative for recommendations on when to begin spray programs.

2. Alternate products: Use spray programs that include alternation of products from different fungicide groups. Group numbers are listed in a box at the top right of product labels.

3. Use at least the minimum labeled rate and do not extend spray intervals beyond crop use

recommendations: Use of rates below the minimum labeled rate can shorten the useful life of a fungicide. Furthermore, stretching application intervals too long may leave a crop unprotected, allowing the pathogen population to multiply, and increasing the likelihood for resistance to develop.

4. IPM: Applications of fungicides should be integrated in to an overall disease and pest management program. Cultural practices known to reduce disease development should be followed. Consult your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or manufacturer r epresentative for additional IPM strategies established for your area. This product may be used in Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting or riskPage 5 of 9 assessment) programs, which recommend application ti ming based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

Use sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage to obtain the most effective disease control. Do not make applications when conditions favor drift beyond the target application area. Avoid spraying when windy, high temperature, drought, dusty, low relative humidity, or temperature inversion

conditions exist.

Ground Application

For ground application equipment, a minimum of 50 gallons of water per acre for tree crops and 10 gallons of water per acre for field and vegetable crops is recommended.

Aerial Application

For aerial application equipment, a minimum of 15 gallons of water per acre for tree crops and 5 gallons of water per acre for field and vegetable crops is recommended. No aerial application is allowed on Long Island,

New York.

Air-Blast Application

Air-assisted or air-blast sprayers move spray droplets into the crop canopy using a forced-air system. The fan should be set up to deliver only enough air volume to penetrate the canopy and provide good coverage. Adjust deflectors or other aiming devices to direct spray only to the target area. Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application.

SPRAY MIXING AND COMPATIBILITY Begin with clean spray equipment and add one-half of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank and start agitation. Add the required quantity of fungicide and the tank-mix partner if applicable to the water and complete filling with water to the required total volume. Follow the recommendations of your State Cooperative Extension Service for tank-mixing with ot her products. In general, follow the order beginning first with water soluble packaging (wait for it to completely dissolve), wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products, liquid flowables and suspension concentrates, and emulsifiable concentrates last. Maintain agitation throughout spraying. Do not allow spray mixture to remain in the tank overnight, or for long periods during the day without agitation.

PROPULSE is physically compatible with most comm only used fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, and foliar nutrient products. However, the compatibility of PROPULSE with all potential tank-mix partners has not been fully investigated. If tank mixing with other pesticides is desirable, conduct a jar test with the volumes and rates typically used in agricultural application. Using a small container of water, add the proportionate amounts of the products: wettable powders and water-dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 15 minutes. Look for signs of separation, globules, sludge, flakes, or other precipitates. Physical compatibility is indicated if the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily.

The crop safety of all potential tank-mixes with PROPULSE has not been tested on all crops. Before applying any tank-mixture not specifically recommended on this labe l, safety to the target crop should be confirmed on a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure an adverse response will not occur.

GENERAL RESTRICTIONS AND LIMITATIONSPage 6 of 9 Do not apply more than the maximum seasonal rate for each specific crop from any combination of products containing FLUOPYRAM or PROTHI OCONAZOLE. Areas treated with this product may be replanted immediately following harvest with any crop for which a FLUOPYRAM and PROTHIOCONAZOLE tolerance exists. This includes but is not limited to: dried beans, peanut, and sugarbeet. Alfalfa, apple, cherry, cotton, potato, strawberry, tree nuts, watermelon, and wine grapes may be planted into treated areas 30 days after the last application. Additionally, following dried beans t hese crops may be immediately planted: canola, cereal grains (except rice), corn, and soybean. Do not plant all other crops for one year following the last application.
