PRODUCT INFORMATION

A15457LG is a broad-spectrum fungicide. It has preventative, systemic and curative 

properties. A15457LG provides excellent disease control of many major turfgrass and 

ornamental diseases. A15457LG may be applied and integrated into a resistance 

management program. All applications should be made according to the use directions 

that follow. 

USE INFORMATION 

Application: Thorough coverage of foliage is necessary to provide good disease 

control. Make no more spray solution than is needed for application. For control of 

foliar diseases, allow A15457LG to completely dry prior to irrigating. For control of soilborne diseases A15457LG can be applied to turfgrass and watered in after application 

or applied by directed spray or drench application to ornamental crops. 

Adjuvants: When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, Syngenta recommends 

the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant and is 

approved for use in turfgrass or ornamental crops. 

Efficacy: Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, use 

another registered fungicide for additional applications if the maximum amount of 

A15457LG has been used. If isolates resistant to Group 7 fungicides are present, 

efficacy can be reduced for certain diseases. The shorter spray intervals may be 
A15457LG

Page 8

required under conditions of heavy infection pressure with highly susceptible varieties, 

or when environmental conditions are conducive to disease. 

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

A15457LG should be integrated into an overall disease and pest management strategy 

whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Sound pest management resulting in 

healthy, vigorous plants is the foundation of a good IPM program. Cultural practices 

such as proper choice of varieties; nutrient management; proper cutting height (for 

turfgrass); thatch management (for turfgrass); and proper watering, drainage, and 

moisture stress management should be integrated with the use of fungicides to increase 

plant vigor and reduce the susceptibility to disease. Immunoassay detection kits and 

extension service diagnostic services can assist in the early and accurate identification 

of causal organisms and corresponding selection of the proper fungicide when required. 

Resistance Management 

A15457LG contains benzovindiflupyr, an SDHI fungicide in Group 7. Fungal pathogens 

can develop resistance to products with the same mode of action when used 

repeatedly. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, use of this product 

should conform to resistance management strategies established for the crop and use 

area. Consult your local or State agricultural authorities for resistance management 

strategies that are complementary to those in this label. Resistance management 

strategies may include rotating with products having different modes of action or limiting 

the total number of applications per season. Syngenta encourages responsible 

resistance management to ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on 

this label. A15457LG should not be alternated or tank mixed with any fungicide to 

which resistance has already developed. 

Some turf and ornamental disease pathogens are known to have developed resistance 

to products used repeatedly for their control. A15457LG should be alternated with other 

registered fungicides that have a different mode of action and to which pathogen 

resistance has not developed. Since A15457LG is an SDHI fungicide (Group 7 

fungicide), avoid alternation with other SDHI fungicides. 

As part of a resistance management strategy: 

x Apply no more than 2 sequential applications to ornamental crops and landscape 

plants unless otherwise stated. 

x Apply no more than 3 sequential applications to turfgrass unless otherwise stated. 

x When tank-mixing or alternating, use an effective partner – one that provides 

satisfactory disease control when used alone at the mixture rate. 

x Apply early in the crop production cycle to minimize fungal pressure from listed 

diseases. 

Spray Drift Management: To avoid spray drift, do not apply when conditions favor drift 

beyond the target area. The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related 
A15457LG

Page 9

factors determines the potential for spray drift. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE 

APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR AND THE 

GROWER. 

MIXING AND APPLICATION METHODS 

Spray Equipment 

Nozzles

x Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application. 

x Nozzles should be the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. 

x Calibrate sprayer before use. 

x It is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles 

from clogging. 

x Screens placed on suction side of pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. 

x Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. 

x Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where 

required, at the nozzles. 

x Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations. 

Pump 

x Use a pump with capacity to: 

1. Maintain the recommend psi for the nozzles being used to apply the spray 

mixture. 

2. Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension - this 

requires recirculation of 10% of tank volume per minute. 

x Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation. 

x Do not air sparge. 

For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer 

manufacturers and state recommendations. For specific local directions and spray 

schedules, consult the current state agricultural recommendations. 

Mixing Instructions 

To prepare spray solution, partially fill the spray tank with clean water and begin 

agitation. Add the specified amount of A15457LG to the tank, allowing time for good 

dispersion, then add an adjuvant, if recommended. If tank mixes are required, product 

should be added to the spray tank in the following order: WG or dry flowable 

formulations, wettable powders and flowable (aqueous suspensions) products. Finish 

filling the tank to the desired volume to obtain the proper spray concentration. Maintain 

agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not allow spray mixture to stand 

overnight or for prolonged periods. Make up only the amount of spray required for 

immediate use. Sprayers should be thoroughly cleaned immediately after application. 

Do not use silicone based products with A15457LG due to possible phytotoxicity. If
A15457LG

Page 10

spray tank mixture is unsprayed for more than 18 hours (overnight), re-suspend 

product with agitation for 20 minutes.

x A15457LG is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation. 

x Prepare no more spray mixture than is required for the immediate operation. 

x Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. 

x Agitate the spray solution before and during application. 

x Rinse spray tank thoroughly with clean water after each day’s use and dispose of 

pesticide rinsate by application to an already treated area. 

A15457LG Alone (No Tank Mix)

x Add 1⁄2-Ҁ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. 

x With the agitator running, add A15457LG to the tank. 

x Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. 

x Begin application of the spray solution after A15457LG has completely dispersed 

into the mix water. 

x Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed. 

A15457LG + Tank Mixtures: A15457LG is usually compatible with many tank-mix 

partners registered for use on the listed use site. 

If tank mixes are desired, observe all directions, precautions, and limitations on labeling 

of all products used. Consult compatibility charts or your local or state turf or 

ornamental crop authority for compatibility information. Do not combine A15457LG in 

the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers unless compatibility charts or 

your own prior use has shown that the combination is physically compatible, effective, 

and non-injurious under your conditions of use. 

To determine the physical compatibility of A15457LG with other products, use a jar test. 

Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to 1 qt of water. Add 

wettable powders and water dispersible granular products first, then liquid flowables, 

and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 

minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be remixed readily, it is physically 

compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding 

required ingredients to the spray tank. 

Mixing in the Spray Tank 

x Add 1⁄2-Ҁ of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank. 

x With the agitator running, add the tank-mix partner(s) into the tank in the same 

order as described above. 

x Allow the material to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water. 

Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water and A15457LG to the 

spray tank. 

x Allow A15457LG to completely disperse. 

x Spray the mixture with the agitator running.

Application Instructions 

A15457LG may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making 

ground, foliar and aerial applications. Proper adjustments and calibration of spraying 

equipment to give good coverage is essential for good disease control.

Application through Irrigation Systems (Chemigation) – Ornamentals Only 

x Apply this product only through center pivot, solid set, overhead boom, hand 

move, moving wheel irrigation systems, ebb and flow and drip or micro irrigation 

equipment. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. 

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

result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. 

x Excessive water may reduce efficacy. 

x If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension 

Service specialists, equipment manufacturers, or other experts. 

x Do not connect an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for 

pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide labelprescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. 

x 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. 

Operating Instructions 

x The system must contain a functional check-valve, vacuum relief valve, and low 

pressure drain appropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to prevent watersource contamination from backflow. 

x The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quickclosing check-valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 

x 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. 

x The system must contain functional interlocking controls to automatically shut off 

the pesticide injection pump when the water pump motor stops. 

x 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. 

x 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. 

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

treatment.

calibration. 

x Stop injection equipment after treatment is completed. Continue to operate the 

system until the A15457LG solution has cleared the last sprinkler head or emitter. 

Aerial Application 

x Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. 

x Apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise. 

x Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or 

when excessive spray drift may occur. 

x Do not apply directly to humans or animals. 

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS FOR PUBLIC WATER SYSTEMS 

x 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 regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily at least 60 days out 

of the year. 

x Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a 

functional, reduced-pressure zone, back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional 

equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide 

introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the water from the public water system 

should be discharged into a reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There 

shall be a complete physical break (air gap) between the 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. 

x The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quickclosing check valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump. 

x 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. 
A15457LG

Page 13

x 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. 

x 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. 

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

treatment. 

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS 

GOLF COURSE TURF 

A15457LG is for control of certain pathogens causing foliar, stem, and root diseases, 

including leaf and stem blights, leaf spots, patch diseases, mildews, anthracnose, fairy 

rings, molds, and rusts of turf. 

Turfgrass Tolerance: A15457LG plant tolerance has been found to be safe for all 

turfgrass species on the label; however, not all possible tank-mix combinations have 

been tested under all conditions. When possible, test the combinations on a small 

portion of the turf to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of 

application. 

Apply by Ground Application Only: Apply in sufficient water to provide good 

coverage. Typical application volumes range from 30 to 175 gallons of spray per acre. 

Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control.

ORNAMENTALS 

A15457LG is for control of listed foliar and root diseases of ornamental plants. 

A15457LG may be applied to container, bench, flat, plug, liner, bed or field-grown 

ornamentals crops in greenhouses, shade-houses, lath houses, outdoor nurseries, and 

retail nurseries. A15457LG may also be applied to ornamental plants in commercial 

landscapes. 

A15457LG applications should begin prior to disease development and continue 

throughout the season at listed use rates and specified intervals following resistance 

management guidelines. A15457LG works best when used as part of a preventative 

disease management program. 

Apply A15457LG as a foliar broadcast or directed spray application. Apply foliar 

applications in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of the target plant for best 

control. Repeat applications at specified intervals. 

A15457LG may be applied to control soilborne, seedling, and crown diseases of 

production ornamentals as a preventative, directed spray or drench treatment prior to 

infection. Good coverage of the pre-infection area (root zone, root ball, crown, etc.) is 

necessary for satisfactory control. Apply directed sprays and drench applications prior 

to infection as healthy roots are necessary to optimize disease protection. 

For resistance management, do not make more than two sequential drench applications 

of A15457LG before alternating with a fungicide of a different mode of action. 

Caution should be taken before making application of A15457LG as a drench to small 

bedding plants in the seedling/plug stage due to possible phytotoxicity. A limited 

quantity of plants should be tested prior to full-scale application. 

Use of A15457LG as a "rescue" (late curative or eradicant) treatment may not always 

result in satisfactory disease control. 

Plant Safety 

Plant safety has been found to be acceptable for many ornamental crops; however, not 

all possible plant species and varieties have been tested under all conditions. It is 

recommended to test A15457LG alone and with any mixtures on a small portion of the 

crop to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur.
