Mike, 

I received your application back from Ms. Joyner and she would like you 

to add the Ibs of ai per pound of product under the Ingredients section 

on the first page. Could you make this small edit and pdf me another 

version of the label. Sorry to keep contacting you with more revisions. 

I hope this will be the last request for this amendment.

Erin. 

I've attached two .pdf files. One file is the "tracked changes" version 

so you can see the changes I made, the other is the "clean" copy. 

In regard to your comment no. 5 as it pertains to California - the 

statement "**Thiophanate-mthyl 85% WDG is not registered for use on this 

disease in California" in the Restrictions column of the table refers to 

the double asterisk appearing next to "White Rot (Sclerotium)" under the 

"Diseases" heading as Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG is not registered for 

use on this disease in the state of California. 

Should you have any questions/comments on the proposed changes, please 

do not hesitate to contact me.

Good Morning Mike, 

You are correct the label rates I requested from the RED are lbs 

ai/acre. That was our oversight to request the deletion of the other 

values which, as you stated, are also very important for the user. If 

you could keep your values (lbs Thiophanate methyl 85% WDG per acre) as 

you have it and then add the lbs ai/acre equivalents in parentheses, as 

well as an addition to the heading to let users know what the values in 

parentheses are. That should satisfy our requirements for having the 

lbs. ai equivalents and keep the label understandable. Thanks for 

bringing this to my attention. 

Regards, 

Erin

Erin, 

Thank you for the label comments. I do have a question however. It 

appears as the majority of the application rate changes you've requested 

below are changing the label rates to TTlbs. a.i. TT (lbs. active 

ingredient). The application rates currently on the label are expressed 

in TTlbs. of product TT . Are you stating we need to rewrite the label from 

TTlbs. of productTT to TTlbs. of a.i.TT? Doing so will cause the applicator 

to have to calculate how much Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG (product) to be 

used based on a labeled active ingredient rate.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 

Do not apply directly to water, or areas where surface water is present or to intertidal 

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. 

Do not apply this- product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either 

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-methyI85% 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 combination 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% 

WOG 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 ornamentals. 

4 
11

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 ORNAMENTAL CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

NOTE: DO NOT APPLY BYCHEMIGATION 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 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. 

5 
12

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 prevent 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 before 

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 
13

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: 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. 

TURF 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG may be used on all fine turf areas such as athletic fields, 

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

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

CROP USES 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG may be applied using conventional ground or aerial 

application equipment. Thorough coverage of foliage is obtained by using sufficient 

volumes of spray solution. Certain crops may be treated with Thiophanate-methyl 85% 

WDG using chemigation. Do not apply through any type of irrigation unless specifically 

described in this label. 

Refer to the tables below for crop-specific use directions. For concentrate sprays 

(under 400 gallons) and aerial applications, refer to the Ibs. Thiophanate-methyl 85% 

WDG per acre rate. For dilute ground applications, refer to the Ibs. Thiophanate-methyl 

85% WDG per 100 gallon rate. The listed higher rates may be used for severe disease 

pressure. Consult your State Extension Service for recommendations on application 

timings. 

GENERAL MIXING DIRECTIONS 

Fill the spray tank 113 to 112 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 
19

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 a!terthe 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 other type of irrigation system. 

Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from 

non-unifonn distribution of treated water. 

If you have any questions about calibration, 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 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 
20

• 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 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. 

Apply Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG 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 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 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 
21

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.

Erin, 

I've attached two .pdf files. One file is the "tracked changes" version so 

you can see the changes I made, the other is the "clean" copy. 

In regard to your comment no. 5 as it pertains to California - the statement 

"**Thiophanate-mthyl 85% WDG is not registered for use on this disease in 

California" in the Restrictions column of the table refers to the double 

asterisk appearing next to "White Rot (Sclerotium)" under the "Diseases" 

heading as Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG is not registered for use on this 

disease in the state of California. 

Should you have any questions/comments on the proposed changes, please do not 

hesitate to contact me.

Good Morning Mike, 

You are correct the label rates I requested from the RED are lbs ai/acre. 

That was our oversight to request the deletion of the other values which, as 

you stated, are also very important for the user. If you could keep your 

values (lbs Thiophanate methyl 85% WDG per acre) as you have it and then add 

the lbs ai/acre equivalents in parentheses, as well as an addition to the 

heading to let users know what the values in parentheses are. That should 

satisfy our requirements for having the lbs. ai equivalents and keep the label 

understandable. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

Erin, 

Thank you for the label comments. I do have a question however. It appears 

as the majority of the application rate changes you've requested below are 

changing the label rates to "lbs. a.i." (lbs. active ingredient). The 

application rates currently on the label are expressed in "lbs. of product". 

Are you stating we need to rewrite the label from "lbs. of product" to "lbs. 

of a.i."? Doing so will cause the applicator to have to calculate how much 

Thiophanate~Methyl 85% WDG (product) to be used based on a labeled active 

ingredient rate.

Mike, 

I really appreciate the prompt response. You also corrected almost 

every issue. Unfortunately, when the font size increased the tables 

were split on some pages. Most of them are fine because the headers 

repeat, but a few charts need to be edited: 

~On page II, carry the heading "Bulbs including Easter Lily, Tulip, 

Gladiolus, Daffodil, and Iris" to the top of the chart on page 12. 

~On page 23, remove the header box under grapes. It is fine on the next 

page and doesn't need to be at the bottom of 23. 

~Page 27, same thing as grapes but this time for cherries. If you could 

fit all the Cherries info on one page from the head to the chart, then 

put it all on page 28, if not then just get rid of the unnecessary 

header at the bottom of 27. 

Page 29, same thing as grapes and cherries. 

Peaches info on one page from the header to 

on page 30, if not then just get rid of the 

bottom of 29. 

Again, if you could fit all 

the chart, then put it all 

unnecessary header at the 

~Page 31, Same thing for Strawberries as above, looks like it could all 

fit on 32. 

A few other minor things I noticed in my second read through: 

~Page 3, in the Resistance Management paragraph: Change the fifth 

sentence from "Signs of fungal resistance include ineffective results 

after a Thiophanate~methyl 85% WDG application," to "Fungal resistance 

is indicated by ineffective results after a Thiophanate~methyl 85% WDG 

application. " 

~Page 9, in the second Turf Diseases box: In the first sentence of the 
51

application instructions where you have "other diseases" in parentheses, 

instead specify the diseases for which you are referring to. Or you 

could write, "Apply 3.5 ounces or 3-3.53 ounces (Stripe Smut only) of 

Thiophanate-methyl ..... " 

-Page 14, In the sixth paragraph under Instruction for Sprinker 

(Overhead) Irrigation: change the last sentence to, "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." 

-On page 21, where I had you change target spot within the Directions 

box. I apologize at the time I did not think of the disease and I was 

thinking the general target spot. But the original capitalization is 

correct. 

-Page 35, the unnecessary unit is still in the Rate header box. There 

are lbs in parenthesis but no lb values in the corresponding cells. 

That unit should be erased out of the header. 

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. 

Thanks again,

Mike, 

I am in receipt of your application for an amendment for 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG (EPA Reg no: 84229-3). During my review, I 

noticed a few issues that need to be addressed before we can accept your 

amendment. 

text is 

at least 

1} The Label Review Manual requires that label 

a size 12 font. I believe your label is size 9. Adjust all 

font sizes so that the smallest is 12 and the headers and 

titles are larger. 

2} 

heading I the 

first 

On page 2, under the Directions for Use 

sentence in the second paragraph is unacceptable intended 

user language according to the Label Review Manual (Chapter 

11-7). Erase the "Not for homeowner use" statement and the 

rest of that language should be acceptable. 

3) On page 4, the third paragraph under System 

Requirements is 

a larger font size than the surrounding text. If that 

paragraph is not supposed to be set apart from the 

surrounding text, then please adjust to match the rest. 

4) On page 4, the fifth paragraph under 

Instructions for

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS 

Do not apply directly to water, or areas where surrace water is present or to intertidal 

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 tuJi being grown for sale or other 

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

set. 

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either 

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-methyl 85% 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 combination or in rotation with Thiophanate-methyl 

85% WDG because of the similarity in chemistry between the two active ingredients. -k §igns, of fungal resistance include 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 ornamentals. 

4 
58

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

Thorough coverage offoliage 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 ORNAMENTAL CHEMIGATION 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 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. 

5 
59

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 prevent 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 peliormance. Do not apply when wind speed favors drift, 

when system connections or fittings leak, when nozzles do not provide unifonn 

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 before 

turning off irrigation water. 

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

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

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

peliormance and should be avoided. 

6 
60

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: 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. 

TURF 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG may be used on all fine turf areas such as athletic fields, 

cemeteries, golf course greens, tees, and fairways, 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, S1. 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 gallons per 1,000 sq. 

ft.) 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 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 

7 
61

suspension during application. Use properly calibrated equipment. Prepare spray 

mixtures of Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG and use the same day.

CROP USES 

GENERAL INFORMATION 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG may be applied using conventional ground or aerial 

application equipment Thorough coverage of foliage is obtained by using sufficient 

volumes of spray solution. Certain crops may be treated with Thiophanate-methyl 85% 

WDG using chemigation. Do not apply through any type of irrigation unless specifically 

described in this label. 

Refer to the tables below for crop-specific use directions. For concentrate sprays 

(under 400 gallons) and aerial applications, refer to the Ibs. Thiophanate-methyl 85% 

WDG per acre rate. For dilute ground applications, refer to the Ibs. Thiophanate-methyl 

85% WDG per 100 gallon rate. The listed higher rates may be used for severe disease 

pressure. Consult your State Extension Service for recommendations on application 

timings. 

GENERAL MIXING DIRECTIONS 

Fill the spray tank 113 to 112 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. 

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 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 calibration, 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 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. 

• 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. 

13 
67

• 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 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. 

Apply Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG 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 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 nearesWhe well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray being applied to this 

area. A-

'\V 

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. 

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. 

14 
68

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 fiush 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-MethyI85% 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

Mike, 

I am in receipt of your application for an amendment for 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG (EPA Reg no; 84229-3). During my review, I 

noticed a few issues that need to be addressed before we can accept your

The Label Review Manual requires that label text is at 

a size 12 font. I believe your label is size 9. Adjust all 

font sizes so that the smallest is 12 and the headers and 

titles are larger. 

On page 2, under the Directions for Use heading, the first 

sentence in the second paragraph is unacceptable intended 

user language according to the Label Review Manual (Chapter 

11-7). Erase the "Not for homeowner use" statement and the 

rest of that language should be acceptable. 

On page 4, the third paragraph under System Requirements is 

a larger font size than the surrounding text. If that 

paragraph is not supposed to be set apart from the 

surrounding text, then please adjust to match the rest. 

On page 4, the fifth paragraph under Instructions for 

sprinkler (overhead) Irrigation, change the last sentence 

from "In a center pivot system, block the nozzle set nearest 

the well/pivot/injection unit to prevent spray being applied 

in this area," to "In a center pivot system, block the 

nozzle set nearest to the well/pivot/injection unit to 

prevent spray being applied in this area." 

On page 5, top paragraph, change the spelling of "insure" 

"ensure." 

On page 6, first paragraph under Ornamentals, 

sentence "cutting" should be changed to "cuttings."

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 ornamentals 

---- 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 altemate 

fungicides. 

GENERAL MIXING DIRECTIONS 

Fill the spray tank 1/3 to t/2 full with water and begin agitation. Then add the required amount of Thiophanatemethyl 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 ORNAMENTAL CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS 

GENERAL tNSTRUCTIONS 

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 ca~brations, 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 if such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly

Systems utilizing a pressurized water and peficide 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 prevent 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 

,..r; 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 

h:. ,,;t-5i2:.Q when the water pressure decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems must flN \I use a metering pump, such as positive displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump) effectively designed 

0-, t'k'1firrVl and constructed of materials that are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 

~ "'-oJ' - , INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPRINKLER (OVERHEAD) JRRIGATION: 

···IV Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above. 

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

/rJ1:'Fmr)'[~ Maintain a gentle continuous agitation in mix tank during mixing and application to assure a uniform suspension. 

7\-\,,"""'--- 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 setAnearesj;. the well/pivoUinjection unit to prevent spray 

being applied to this area. ~~ 

When sprinkler distribution pattems do not overlap suffiCiently, unacceptable disease control may result. 

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

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 tl2 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 INSTRUCTtONS 

Follow all directions under the section above under System Requirements. Set the sprinkler system to deliver O. t 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 

4 
96

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..iFmrre adequate mixing. 

NOTE: After completing the Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG treatme~te the treated area for 24 to 48 

hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop. 

TURF 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG may be used on all fine turf areas such as athletic fields, cemeteries, golf course 

greens, tees, and fairways, home lawns (by professional applicators), and industrial lawns. Used according to label 

directions, Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG is not phytotoxic to Bentgrasses, Blue Grasses, Bermudagrasses, 

Fescues, Ryegrasses, St. 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 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft.) 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 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. Use properly calibrated equipment. Prepare spray 

mixtures of Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG and use the same day.

GENERAL INFORMATION 

85% WDG may be applied using conventional ground or aerial application equipment. ~~ Thorough 

coverage of foliage is obtained by using sufficient volumes of spray solution. Certain crops may be treated with \....f.....o' 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG using chemigation. Do not apply through any type of irrigation unless specifically 

described in this label. @ Refer to the tables below for crop-specific use directions. For concentrate sprays (under 400 gallons) and aerial 

applications, refer to the Ibs. Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG per acre rate. For dilute ground applications, refer to the 

Ibs. Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG per too gallon rate. The listed higher rates may be used for severe disease 

pressure. Consult your State Extension Service for recommendations on application timings. ? 

\~ '2lV GENERAL MIXING DIRECTtONS 

Fill the spray tank tf3 to t/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. 

ROTATION CROP RESTRICTION 

For any crop not listed on this label, do not plant back that crop for30-days after the last application. 

ESISTANCE 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-methyl 85% 

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 combination 

or in rotation with Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG because of the similarity in chemistry between the two active 

ingredients. Signs of fungal resistance include ineffective results after a Thiophanate-melhyl 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 .

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, "Or...hand move, or drip (mini-micro sprinklers, strip tubing, trickle) irrigation systems. 

Do not apply this product through ny other type of irrigation sy.stem. 

Crop injury, lack of effectiveness; or iII:~al""~~"~;~d';:~~s in the crop can result from non-unifonn distribution of 

treated water. 

If you have any questions about calibration, 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 supervisor of the 

responsible person, shall shutthe 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. 

• The pesticide injection pipe~ne 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, 

nonnally 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 atrected. 

• 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. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPRINKLER (OVERHEAD) IRRtGATION

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 

perfonnance. 

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 

9

center pivot system, block the nozzle set nearest the well/pivoVinjection unit to prevent spray 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. 

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 trrigation: Follow all directions under the section above under System Requirements. Set the sprinkler 

system to deliver O. t 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~~t~.iL 

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.

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 ornamentals, 

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 Agriculturel 

Experiment Station, or your State Agricultural Extension Service for advice on your options for use of alternate 

fungicides. 

GENERAL MIXtNG DtRECTIONS 

Fill the spray tank tI3 to 112 full with water and begin agitation. Then add the required amount of Thiophanatemethyl 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 sut!ur), 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 ORNAMENTAL CHEMtGA TlON INSTRUCTIONS 

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS 

NOTE: DO NOT APPLY BY CHEMIGATION tN CALIFORNtA 

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. 

3 
125

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 if SUCh system has at least t5 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 prevent the flow of fluid back toward the iniection 

pump. 

The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a functional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve located on 

the intake Side of the irl;ection pump and connected to the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn 

from Ihe 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 pumpJ effectively designed 

and constructed of materials that are compatible with pestic1des and capable of being fitted with a system interlock. 

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPRINKLER (OVERHEAD) IRRIGA nON: 

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 the weliJpivotiinjection unit to prevent spray 

being applied to this area. 

When sprinkler distribution patterns do not overlap sufficienlly, unacceptable disease control may result. 

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

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 112 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 tRRIGATION APPLtCA TlON 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 tine to 
126

deliver the desired rate per acre, The suspension of Thiophanate-Metllyl 85% WOG should be injected with a 

positive displacement pump into tlle main line ahead of a right angle to insure adequate mixing. 

NOTE: After completing the Thiophanate-methyl 85% WOG treatment, do not irrigate the treated area for 24 to 48 

hours to prevent washing the chemical off the crop. 

TURF 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WOG may be used on all fine turf areas such as athletic fields, cemeleries, golf course 

greens, tees, and fairways, home lawns (by professional applicators), and industrial lawns. Used according to label 

directions, Thiophanate-methyl 85% WOG is not phytotoxiC to Bentgrasses, Blue Grasses, Bermudagrasses, 

Fescues, Ryegrasses, 51. Augustine grasses or tlleir mixtures, Thiophanate-methyl 85% WOG provides both 

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

Make applications after turf has been mowed {or wait t2 hours after mowing before making an application}. Use a 

suffiCient amount of water (3 to 5 gallons per t,OOO sq, ft.) 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% WOG Application Rates' for application 

restrictions and maximum rates allowed at different siles. 

Mixing Instructions: Fill the spray tank 1f3 to 112 full with water and begin agitation. Then add the required 

amount of Thiophanate-methyl 85% WOG. Fill the spray tank with the remaining amount of water. Continue 

agHa\ion to mainta'ln a uniform suspension dur"lng appilcaiion, Use properly cal'lbrated equ'lpment, Prepare spray

CROP USES 

GENERAL INFORMATtON 

Thiophanate-methyI85% WOG may be applied using conventional ground or aerial application equipment Thorough 

coverage of foliage is obtained by using sufficient volumes of spray solution. Certain crops may be treated with 

Thiophanate-methyl 85% WOG using chemigation. 00 not apply through any type of irrigation unless specifically 

described in this label. 

Refer to the tables below for crop-specific use directions, For concentrate sprays (under 400 gallons) and aerial 

applications, refer to the Ibs, Thiophanate-methyl 85% WOG per acre rate. For dilute ground applications, refer to the 

Ibs. Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG per toO gallon rate. The listed higher rates may be used for severe disease 

pressure. Consult your State Extension Service for recommendations on application timings. 

GENERAL MIXING DIRECTtONS 

Fill the spray tank 113 to tl2 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-methyI85% 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. 

ROT ATtON CROP RESTRtCTION 

For any crop not listed on this label, do not plant back that crop for 30-days after the last application. 

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-methyl 85% 

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% WOG with fungicides of a different chemistry. Tide 

tnternational, USA, Inc. does not recommend the use of fungicide products containing thiabendazole in combination 

or in rotation with Thiophanate-methyl 85% WDG because of the similarity in chemistry between the two active 

ingredients. Signs of fungal resistance include 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% WOG 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.

CROP USE CHEMtGATtON tNSTRUCTtONS 

GENERAL tNSTRUCTtONS 

NOTE: tn California, chemigation may be used onty forthe foltowing crops: Beans, Curcurbits (cucumbers, 

metons, pumpkins, squash), Peanuts, Soybeans, and Strawberries, 

Appty this product onty through sprinkler irligation system inctuding center pivot, laterat move, end tow, side (wheet) 

rotl, traveter, big gun, sotid set, or hand move, or drip (mini-micro sprinklers, strip tubing, trickle) irrigation systems. 

00 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 calibration, 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 supervisor of the 

responsible person, shalt shut the system down and make necessary adiustments should the need arise. 

00 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 f5 service connections or regularly 

serves an average of at least 25 individualS daily at least 60 days out of the year. 

SYSTEM REQUtREMENTS 

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, 

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 controts 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 in(ection 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. 

INSTRUCTtONS FOR SPRINKLER (OVERHEAD) IRRIGATION 

Observe the requirements in the System Requirements section above. 00 not apply when wind speed favors drift 

beyond the area intended for treatment. 

Apply Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG 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 inSll"e simultaneous shut-off, 

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 i? , ' 

9 
131

center pivot system, block the nozzle set nearest the welltpivotJiniection unit to prevent spray 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. 

Thiophanate-MethyI85% WDG may be applied in coniunction with chemically neutral liquid fertilizers. Application in 

coniunction 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. 

PREPARATtON OF SPRAY SUSPENSION 

Clean and remove scale, pestiade residues, and other foreign matter frem the chemical tank and the entire injector 

system. Use clean water to flush the system. Add 112 or 3t4 the required amount of water to a mixing tank. Begin 

agitation (mechanical or hydraulic). Slowly add the required amoont 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. 

APPLICATtON INSTRUCTIONS 

Sprinkler trrigation: 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 intect the suspension of Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WOG into the 

irrigation water line to deliver the desired rate per acre. The suspension of Thiophanate-Methyl 85% WDG should be 

iniected with a positive displacement pump into the main line ahead of a right angle to insure 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 Sprinkters, Strip Tubing, Trtckte) Irrigation: Observe all System Requirements and Application
