Precautionary Statements

Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals

WARNING. May be fatal if swallowed. Avoid contact with

skin or clothing.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Some materials that are chemically resistant to this

product are listed below. For more options, refer to

Category A on an EPA chemical-resistance category

selection chart.

Applicators and other handlers must wear:

• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants

• Waterproof gloves (such as natural rubber, nitrile, butyl,

neoprene and/or barrier laminate)

• Shoes plus socks

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and

maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables

exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE

separately from other laundry.

Engineering Controls Statement

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

Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE

requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in

the WPS.

Environmental Hazards

This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.

Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in

water adjacent to treated areas.

DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface

water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high

water mark. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing

of equipment washwaters or rinsate.

This product may impact surface water quality due to

runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater.

This product is classified as having high potential for

reaching aquatic sediment via runoff for several months or

more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with

shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that

contains this product. A level, well-maintained vegetative

buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied

and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and

springs will reduce the potential loading of this active

ingredient or its degradates from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding

applications when rainfall is forecast to occur within 48

hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this

product’s potential to reach aquatic sediment via runoff.

Groundwater Advisory

This chemical has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical

may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils

are permeable, particularly where the water table is

shallow.

Directions For Use

It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. 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.

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Users should:

• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum,

using tobacco, or using the toilet.

Product Information

This package contains BAS 703 01 F fungicide, a suspension concentrate (SC) containing fluxapyroxad and

pyraclostrobin. The active ingredients in BAS 703 01 F

belong to two classes of fungicides, the strobilurins or

Quinone Outside Inhibitors (QoI) and succinate-dehydrogenase (SDH) inhibitor classes. To maximize disease

control, apply BAS 703 01 F in a regularly scheduled protective spray program and use in a rotation program with

other fungicides.

Preventive applications optimize disease control, resulting

in improved plant health.

Because of its high specific activity, BAS 703 01 F has

good residual activity against target fungi.

BAS 703 01 F is not for use in greenhouse or transplant

production.

Modes of Action

Fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin, the active ingredients of

BAS 703 01 F, belong to the groups of respiration

inhibitors classified by the U.S. EPA and Canada PMRA as

target site of action Group 7 and Group 11 fungicides,

respectively.

Resistance Management

BAS 703 01 F contains fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin, a

premix of a Group 7 and a Group 11 fungicide, and is

effective against pathogens resistant to fungicides with

modes of action different from those of target site

Group 7 and Group 11, such as dicarboximides, sterol

inhibitors, benzimidazoles, or phenylamides. Fungal

isolates resistant to Group 7 or 11 fungicides may eventually dominate the fungal population if Group 7 or

Group 11 fungicides are used predominantly and repeatedly in the same field in successive years as the primary

method of control for the targeted pathogen species,

especially if resistance to either Group 7 or Group 11

fungicides is already present in the pathogen population.

This may result in reduction of disease control by

BAS 703 01 F or other Group 7 or Group 11 fungicides.

To maintain the performance of BAS 703 01 F in the field,

DO NOT exceed the specified number of consecutive

applications of BAS 703 01 F or the total number of applications of BAS 703 01 F per season stated in Table 1.

BAS 703 01 F fungicide Restrictions and Limitations

Overview and Table 2. BAS 703 01 F fungicide Cropspecific Directions. Adhere to the label instructions

regarding the consecutive use of BAS 703 01 F or other

target site of action Group 7 and Group 11 fungicides

that have a similar site of action on the same pathogens.

Resistance Management Advisory

The following recommendations may be considered to

delay the development of fungicide resistance:

1. Tank mixtures – BAS 703 01 F provides more effective resistance management of most of its target

pathogens, because it is a premix of two fungicides with

different modes of action. If BAS 703 01 F is used in

tank mixtures with fungicides from different target site of

action groups that are registered/permitted for the same

use and that are effective against the pathogens of concern, use at least the minimum labeled rates of each

fungicide in the tank mix.

2. IPM – Integrate BAS 703 01 F into an overall disease

and pest management program. Follow cultural practices known to reduce disease development. Consult

your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor

and/or BASF representative for additional IPM strategies

established for your area. BAS 703 01 F may be used

in agricultural extension advisory (disease forecasting)

programs, which recommend application timing based

on environmental factors favorable for disease development.

3. Monitoring – Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used in

the disease management program against the targeted

pathogen and record other factors that may influence

fungicide performance and/or disease development. If a

Group 7 or Group 11 target site fungicide such as

BAS 703 01 F appears to be less or no longer effective

against a pathogen that it previously controlled or suppressed, contact a BASF representative, local extension

specialist, or certified crop advisor for further investigation.

Application Instructions

Apply specified rates of BAS 703 01 F as instructed in

Table 2. BAS 703 01 F fungicide Crop-specific

Directions. Thorough coverage is best achieved by

ground application; however, aerial applications can be

4
made for those crops or in conditions where applications

are not possible using ground equipment. BAS 703 01 F

fungicide can also be applied through sprinkler irrigation

equipment. Check equipment frequently for calibration.

Under low-level disease conditions, the minimum application rates can be used while maximum application rates

and shortened spray schedules are recommended for

severe or threatening disease conditions.

Cleaning Spray Equipment

Spraying equipment must be cleaned thoroughly before

and after applying this product, particularly if a product

with potential to injure crops was used prior to

BAS 703 01 F.

Ground Application

Apply BAS 703 01 F in sufficient water to ensure thorough

coverage of foliage, bloom, and fruit. Thorough coverage

is required for optimum disease control.

Instructions for Directed or Banded Crop Sprays

The application rates shown in Table 1. BAS 703 01 F

fungicide Restrictions and Limitations Overview and

Table 2. BAS 703 01 F fungicide Crop-specific

Directions on this label reflect the amount of product to

be applied uniformly over an acre of ground on a broadcast basis. In some crops, BAS 703 01 F may be used as

a directed or banded spray over the rows or plant beds

with the alleys or row middles left unsprayed. For such

uses, reduce the rate of BAS 703 01 F in proportion to

the area actually sprayed. Make this adjustment to avoid

applying the product at use rates higher than permitted on

this label.

The following formula may be used to determine the

broadcast equivalent rate for doing directed or banded

sprays:

sprayed bed width + unsprayed row middle width = total

row width

Example: A directed spray application will be made to 

45-inch plant beds that are separated by 15 inches of

unsprayed row middles.

45 inches sprayed bed width + 15 inches unsprayed row

middles = 60 inches total row width

The calculation to determine the appropriate equivalent

rate of product to use for this situation based on a label

broadcast rate of 4 fluid ounces product/acre follows:

Aerial Application

For all crops listed in this label, aerial application can be

made and thorough coverage is required to obtain optimum disease control. Avoid applications under conditions

when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or when spray

drift may occur. Use no less than 2 gallons of spray solution per acre. For aerial applications to tree crops, use no

less than 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. For all

other crops, thorough coverage is required for optimum

disease control.

No aerial application in New York State except as

permitted under FIFRA Section 24(c), Special Local

Need Registration.

Spray Drift Management

DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond area

intended for application. Conditions that may contribute to

drift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction,

spray nozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size,

temperature/humidity, etc. Contact your state extension

agent for spray drift prevention guidelines in your area. All

aerial and ground application equipment must be properly

maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.

Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator.

Aerial Application Methods and Equipment

The interaction of many equipment-related and weatherrelated factors determines the potential for spray drift. The

applicator and the grower are responsible for considering

all these factors when making decisions.

DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible drift

to unprotected persons, to food, forage, or other plantings

that might be damaged, or crops thereof rendered unfit for

sale, use or consumption can occur.

DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feet

above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required

for aircraft safety or special weather conditions.

The following drift management requirements must be followed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerial applications to agricultural field crops. These requirements

DO NOT apply to forestry applications, public health uses

or to applications using dry formulations.

1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boom

must not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or

90% of rotor blade diameter.

2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with the

air stream and never be pointed downward more than

45 degrees.

Where states have more stringent regulations, they must

be observed.

The applicator should be familiar with and take into

account the information covered in the aerial drift reduction

advisory information.

Information on Droplet Size

The most effective way to reduce drift potential is to apply

large droplets. Use the largest droplet size consistent with

acceptable efficacy. Applying larger droplets reduces drift

potential but will not prevent drift if applications are made

improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions

(see Wind; Temperature and Humidity; and

Temperature Inversions).

Controlling Droplet Size:

• Volume — Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated

flows produce larger droplets.

• Pressure — DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer’s

recommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lower

pressure produces larger droplets. When higher flow

rates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead of

increasing pressure.

• Number of Nozzles — Use the minimum number of

nozzles that provide uniform coverage.

• Nozzle Orientation — Orienting nozzles so that the

spray is released parallel to the airstream produces

larger droplets than other orientations and is recommended practice unless inconsistent with product efficacy. Significant deflection from the horizontal will reduce

droplet size and increase drift potential.

• Nozzle Type — Use a nozzle type that is designed for

the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider

using low-drift nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles oriented

straight back produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.

Wind

DO NOT apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Drift

potential is lowest when wind speed does not exceed 10

mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and

equipment type, determine drift potential at any given

speed. Application should be avoided when wind speed is

below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. Local terrain can influence wind patterns.

Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns

and how they affect spray drift.

Temperature and Humidity

Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation of spray droplets and, therefore, the likelihood of

increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of

low humidity and/or high temperatures. When making

applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to

produce larger droplets in order to compensate for evaporation. Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions

are both hot and dry.

Temperature Inversions

Applications should not occur during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions

restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended

droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can

move in unpredictable directions due to the light, variable

winds common during inversions.

Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing

temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with

limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to

form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning.

Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if

fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the

movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft

smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in

a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates

an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly

dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

Sensitive Areas

The pesticide should only be applied when the potential

for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. bodies of water or

non-target crops) is minimal and when wind is blowing

away from the sensitive areas.

Directions for Use Through Sprinkler

Irrigation Systems

Sprayer Preparation

Clean chemical tank and injector system thoroughly. Flush

system with clean water.

Application Instructions

Apply BAS 703 01 F fungicide at rates and timings as

required in this label.

Use Precautions for Sprinkler Irrigation Applications

• This product can be applied through sprinkler irrigation

systems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow,

side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand

move irrigation systems. DO NOT apply this product

through any other type of irrigation system.

• Add BAS 703 01 F to the pesticide supply tank containing sufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by the

injection equipment. In continuous moving systems,

inject this product-water mixture continuously, applying

the labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT exceed

1/2 inch (13,577 gallons) of water per acre. In stationary

or noncontinuous moving systems, inject the productwater mixture in the last 15 to 30 minutes of each set

allowing sufficient time for all of the required pesticide to

be applied by all the sprinkler heads and applying the

labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT apply when

wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for

treatment. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal

pesticide residues in the crop can result from nonuniform

distribution of treated water. Thorough coverage of

foliage is required for good control. Maintain good agitation during the entire application period. 

• Contact a state extension service specialist, equipment

manufacturers or other experts for calibration questions.

• 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 fluid back toward the injection pump.

6
• 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 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.

• Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through

all lines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water.

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 an irrigation system (including greenhouse systems) used for pesticide application to a public

water system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safety

devices for public water systems are in place.

• DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the

area intended for treatment.

Specific Instructions for Public Water Systems

1. Public water system means a system for the provision

to the public of piped water for human consumption if

such system has at least 15 service connections or regularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals daily

at least 60 days out of the year.

2. Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone,

backflow 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.

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

flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

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

the intake side of the injection pump and connected to

the system interlock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system

is either automatically or manually shut down.

5. The system must contain functional interlocking controls

to automatically shut off the pesticide injection pump

when the water pump motor stops, or in cases where

there is no water pump, when the water pressure

decreases to the point where pesticide distribution is

adversely affected.

6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positive

displacement injection pump (e.g., diaphragm pump),

effectively designed and constructed of materials that

are compatible with pesticides and capable of being fitted with a system interlock.

Additives and Tank Mixing Information

BAS 703 01 F fungicide can be tank mixed with most

recommended fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquid

fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants, and additives as specified in Table 2. BAS 703 01 F fungicide

Crop-specific Directions. 

Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvants

may improve the performance of BAS 703 01 F. However,

all varieties and cultivars have not been tested with possible tank mix combinations. Local conditions can also influence crop tolerance and may not match those under

which BASF has conducted testing. Physical incompatibility, reduced disease control, or crop injury may result from

mixing BAS 703 01 F with other products. Therefore,

before using any tank mix (fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers, biological control products,

adjuvants, and additives), test the combination on a small

portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of application. 

When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, BASF

recommends the use of a Chemical Producers and

Distributers Association certified adjuvant.

Consult a BASF representative or local agricultural authorities for more information concerning additives.

If tank mixtures are used, adhere to restrictions due to

rates, label instructions and precautions on all labels.

Compatibility Test for Tank Mix Components

Add components in the following sequence using 2 teaspoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint of

label rate per acre:

1. Water — For 100 gallons per acre spray volume, use

16 cups (1 gallon) of water. For other spray volumes,

adjust rates accordingly. Use only water from the

intended source at the source temperature.

2. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables, wettable

powders, suspension concentrates, or suspoemulsions)

— Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles.

3. Water-soluble products — Cap the jar and invert 10

cycles.

4. Emulsifiable concentrates (oil concentrate or methylated seed oil when applicable) — Cap the jar and invert

10 cycles.

5. Water-soluble additives — Cap the jar and invert 10

cycles.

6. Let the solution stand for 15 minutes.

7. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The

7
spray solution should not have free oil on the surface,

nor fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, nor

thick (clabbered) texture. DO NOT use any spray solution that could clog spray nozzles.

Mixing Order

1. Water — Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer

tank 3/4 full of clean water.

2. Agitation — Maintain constant agitation throughout

mixing and application.

3. Inductor — If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughly

after each component has been added.

4. Products in PVA bags — Place any product contained in water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank.

Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved

and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before

continuing.

5. Water-dispersible products (such as dry flowables,

wettable powders, suspension concentrates including

BAS 703 01 F fungicide, or suspo-emulsions)

6. Water-soluble products

7. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrates

when applicable)

8. Water-soluble additives (such as ammonium sulfate

[AMS] or urea ammonium nitrate [UAN] when applicable)

9. Remaining quantity of water

Application Directions. For optimal disease control, begin applications of BAS 703 01 F prior to disease development and continue on a 7 to 14 day interval if conditions are conducive for disease development. Use the higher rate

and shorter interval when disease pressure is high.

*For applications based on dilute volume, plants should be sprayed to runoff. Apply a minimum of 20 gallons of spray

volume per acre, and increase the spray volume as the plants grow during the season. Spray volume should be proportional to the amount of plant tissue to be covered such that 100 gallons of spray per acre is used on mature plants.

Use of adjuvants. The use of additives or adjuvants may improve the performance of BAS 703 01 F on fruiting vegetables. However, BASF evaluations also indicate that under some conditions (particularly high temperatures and/or

high additive rates), application of BAS 703 01 F in combination with certain rates of silicone-based or oil-containing

(petroleum or crop) additives or adjuvants can cause injury to some fruiting vegetable crops.

BASF has not tested all varieties and cultivars with all possible tank mix combinations and rates of additives or adjuvants. Local environmental conditions also influence crop tolerance and may not match those under which BASF has

conducted testing. Physical incompatibility, reduced disease control, crop injury, or incompatibility due to additives,

adjuvants or other products used in combination with BAS 703 01 F may result from mixing BAS 703 01 F with other

products. Refer also to the Conditions of Sale and Warranty section of this label.

To minimize the likelihood of crop injury, BASF recommends testing BAS 703 01 F in combination with other products

for crop safety on a small portion of the crop. However, environmental variability precludes direct and consistent projection of small area test results to future use.

Consult a BASF representative for more information concerning additives or adjuvants.

Resistance Management. To limit the potential for development of resistance, DO NOT apply more than 16.5 fl ozs

of BAS 703 01 F per acre per season. DO NOT make more than two (2) consecutive applications of BAS 703 01 F

before alternating to a labeled fungicide with a different mode of action.

Management of Asian Soybean Rust

If Asian soybean rust spores are present in the area, soybean, beans or peas may be infected even if symptoms

are not present. Once Asian soybean rust is established

(infection level* greater than 3% to 5%) on the bean or pea

plant, control is difficult to achieve with a curative

approach. Optimum disease control is achieved by using

the combination of a preventive fungicide like

BAS 703 01 F plus an EPA-approved fungicide (non-Qol

and non-SDHI modes of action) with known curative activity** against Asian soybean rust.

A comprehensive monitoring and scouting program

must be continued after initial fungicide applications.

Fungicide treatments that include BAS 703 01 F will protect soybean, beans or peas against Asian soybean rust

for up to 21 days, but subsequent disease infection of

treated leaves can occur earlier if conditions are favorable

for disease development. New leaves emerging after treatment will not be protected from new infection pressure.

Monitoring for Asian Soybean Rust Presence

Information on the geographic distribution of Asian soybean rust can be gathered from multiple sources, including

local retailers, university extension, USDA, the Internet and

BASF. These sources must be evaluated frequently during

the growing season to determine the risk and local presence of rust spores in your geography. Rust spores can

move hundreds of miles in only a few days based on wind

direction and speed. If Asian soybean rust is present in the

area or if conditions exist where spore movement from

infected areas is expected or predicted, bean or pea fields

should be treated using the BAS 703 01 F program

described in Table 3.

Field Scouting

Scout bean or pea fields for presence of Asian soybean

rust frequently. Asian soybean rust establishment is

favored by high humidity, free moisture present on leaves

and moderate air temperatures. Asian soybean rust, in

most cases, becomes especially aggressive and visible

when plants reach the reproductive stage of growth (flowering). Check higher risk areas of bean or pea fields for

signs of disease first. These include: earlier planted or

maturing soybean, beans or peas; high moisture areas

near lakes, rivers or other water sources that keep humidity high; areas in the field that remain shaded longer

resulting in higher free leaf moisture; low areas of fields

where humidity (dew) can settle and persist longer. Look

for any signs of symptoms of soybean rust presence. If

Asian soybean rust is present in your field, immediately

implement the BAS 703 01 F program described in

Table 3.

SCOUTING TIP: Collect leaves from suspected plants,

place suspect leaves in a clear plastic bag, inflate bag with

breath (adds humidity to bag) and seal, place in warm

(75o to 90o F) environment and incubate in humid plastic

bags for 24 hours. Leaves in the bags should display

accelerated disease development and show spore pustule

development within 24 hours. Spore development should

occur approximately two times faster than under normal

field conditions.

BAS 703 01 F Instructions for Management

of Asian Soybean Rust

Preventive + Curative Treatment

Existing Infections and/or if Asian Soybean Rust

Spores are Present or Predicted to be in the Area.

A tank mixture with an EPA-approved fungicide (non-Qol

or non-SDHI modes of action) with known curative activity** against Asian soybean rust is required for control of

existing Asian soybean rust infections even if symptoms

are not present. If symptoms or Asian soybean rust lesions

and/or pustules are present on bean or pea plants, some

yield loss may have already occurred.
The BAS 703 01 F fungicide program described in

Table 3 must be used for Asian soybean rust if one or

more of the following conditions exists:

1. Asian soybean rust is present in the soybean, bean or

pea field based on field scouting.

2. Asian soybean rust is present in the local area.

3. Predictive models based on weather/wind have predicted that spores have reached or will soon reach your

area.

4. USDA and/or university extension report that Asian soybean rust (including spores) has been identified in your

geographical area.

Fungicide treatments that include BAS 703 01 F plus an

EPA-approved fungicide (non-Qol and non-SDHI modes of

action) with known curative activity** against Asian soybean rust will protect soybean, beans or peas for up to

21 days, but subsequent infection of treated leaves can

occur earlier if conditions are favorable for disease development. New leaves emerging after treatment will not be

protected from new infection pressure.

Because a second fungicide application may be required,

a comprehensive monitoring and scouting program must

be continued after the initial fungicide application. Base the

need for second application on soybean, bean or pea

growth stage, yield potential and conditions favorable for

continued Asian soybean rust infection.

Additional fungicide applications may be needed if Asian

soybean rust pressure is extremely high and conditions are

favorable for disease development later in the growing

season. Continue the monitoring and scouting program

and apply an EPA-approved fungicide (non-Qol and nonSDHI modes of action) with known curative activity** if a

third application is needed.

*Infection level = number of leaves with symptoms/signs

of Asian soybean rust per 100 leaves

**Contact your local, state or federal agricultural authorities

or local retailer for a list of fungicides approved in your

state with known curative properties against Asian soybean rust.

BAS 703 01 F (8 to 11 fl ozs/acre dry beans only, 4 to 5.5 fl ozs/acre all

other soybean, peas and beans)1 + adjuvant + EPA-approved fungicide (nonQoI and non-SDHI modes of action) with known curative activity against

Asian soybean rust2

Timing

This application must be made soon after first rust infection, preventively, or

at blooming start (growth stage R1 to R3), even if symptoms have not

appeared. Refer to the BAS 703 01 F Instructions for Management of

Asian Soybean Rust section and repeat application as necessary, depending on disease evolution.

Application 23 Treatment

Asian soybean rust2

Timing

21 days after Application 1

or

Earlier (no sooner than 7 days) if monitoring shows active disease

1 Higher labeled rates of BAS 703 01 F provide longer residual control of Asian soybean rust.

2 Contact your local, state or federal agricultural authorities or local retailer for a list of approved fungicides in your state

approved for this purpose.

3 Continue to carefully monitor and scout bean or pea fields as described in the Management of Asian Soybean

Rust section. Base need for second application on results of monitoring and scouting for disease, crop growth stage

and yield potential. Consult with your local retailer or university extension representative for guidance as needed.

Additional fungicide applications may be needed if Asian soybean rust pressure is extremely high and conditions are

favorable for disease development later in the growing season. Continue the monitoring and scouting program and

apply an EPA-approved fungicide (non-QoI and non-SDHI modes of action) with know curative activity if a third application is needed.
Preventive Treatment

Asian Soybean Rust (including spores) Not Present

or Predicted to be Present in the Field or Area

The preventive BAS 703 01 F program described in Table

4 should only be used if none of the conditions described

in one through four of the section immediately preceding

exist. Growers must continue to monitor and scout soybean, bean and pea fields as described in the Monitoring

for Asian Soybean Rust Presence and Field Scouting

sections. A second fungicide application may be needed if

Asian soybean rust (including spores) is detected or identified in the treated field or geographical area. Continue a

comprehensive monitoring and scouting program after the

initial application of BAS 703 01 F. Infection of treated

bean and pea leaves can occur, and new leaves emerging

after treatment will not be protected from Asian soybean

rust. The need for a second application should be based

on soybean, bean and pea growth stage, yield potential

and environmental conditions. If a second application is

necessary, apply BAS 703 01 F plus an effective EPAapproved fungicide (non-Qol and non-SDHI modes of

action) with known curative activity* against Asian soybean

rust.

Additional fungicide applications may be needed if Asian

soybean rust pressure is extremely high and conditions are

favorable for disease development later in the growing

season.Continue the monitoring and scouting program,

and apply an EPA-approved fungicide (non-Qol and nonSDHI modes of action) with known curative activity* if a

third application is needed.

*Contact your local, state or federal agricultural authorities

or local retailer for a list of fungicides approved in your

state with known curative properties against Asian soybean rust.

Need for Season-long Monitoring, Regardless of

BAS 703 01 F Program Selected

The key to adequate season-long control of Asian soybean rust is careful monitoring and scouting of soybean,

bean or pea fields all season, especially from initiation of

flowering through pod fill. After the first application, maintain a thorough monitoring and scouting program. Apply

follow-up fungicide treatments as needed based on crop

stage of growth, yield potential and as the residual protection of the first application begins to wane.

Thorough spray coverage of bean and pea plants is

essential for optimum control. Utilize spray application

techniques including sufficient water carrier per acre, pressure and proper nozzle selection that ensure thorough

coverage.

approved for this purpose.

3 Continue to carefully monitor and scout soybean, bean or pea fields as described in the Management of Asian

Soybean Rust section. If Asian soybean rust, including spores, is detected in your fields or local geography, the

treatment described in Application 2 may be needed. Base the need for this treatment on crop stage of growth,

environmental conditions and yield potential. Consult your local retailer or university extension representative for guidance, as needed. Refer to the Application Information section above. Additional fungicide applications may be

needed if Asian soybean rust pressure is extremely high and conditions are favorable for disease development later in

the growing season. Continue the monitoring and scouting program and apply an EPA-approved fungicide (non-QoI

and non-SDHI modes of action) with know curative activity if a third application is needed.

Recommendations for ground applications:

For best Asian soybean rust control, spray coverage should contact all soybean, bean or pea foliage, including both

upper and lower areas of the soybean, bean or pea canopy. Recommendations for best spray coverage include:

1. Select spray nozzles that maximize medium to fine droplets;

2. Increase spray volume per acre to a minimum of 15 gpa;

3. Increase spray pressure (within nozzle specifications) to maximize penetration of spray into the soybean, bean or pea

canopy.
