RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

The Mode of Action of Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide has not yet been classified. Although resistance in nematode populations has not been proven, repeated exclusiv e use of any product may lead to a reduction in control due to enhanced biodegradation or other causes. Rotation with nematicides with a different mode of action is suggested. Contact your Cooperative Extension specialist, cert ified crop advisor and or product manufacturer for additional resistance management recomm endations or consult the Insect Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at http://www.irac.org for additional information on resistance monitoring and management.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide can be used to control Root-knot ( Meloidogyne spp.), Sting ( Belonolaimus spp.) Lance ( Hoplolaimus spp.) and Lesion nematodes ( Pratylenchus spp.) in turfgrass sit uations. A successful

treatment with Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide will not eradicate nematode populations and does not control bacteria, insects, viruses, we eds or pathogens which attack plants in treated areas. Consult your state Agricultural Experiment station, Extension service pr ovider or supplemental product labels for additional information and control measures for these pests.

Use Quali-Pro® Nimitz® 1.5 G Nematicide in accordance wi th all label directions. Quali-Pro® Nimitz® 1.5 G Nematicide should be used as part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program to control nematodes. IPM programs using cultural practices, sanitation, planting of resistant varieties to reduce infestations caused by nematodes, scouting or other detection methods, proper pest identification and rotation of nematicides with different modes of action will help prevent economic pest damage. Quali-Pro® Nimitz® 1.5 G Nematicide has shown excellent activity against the major genera for nemat odes attacking turfgrasses. When used according to
the directions Quali-Pro® Nimitz® 1.5 G Nematicide can provide season long control. Performance may be reduced if used in muck or high clay content soils.

It is recommended not to rotate turfgrass with plants/cr ops such as flowers or vegetable crops on treated areas for 365 days after application of the product as injury could result on sensitive plants.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal law to use this produ ct in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact wo rkers or other persons. Only protected handlers can be in the area during application. For any requi rements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.



### Turfgrass

Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide has shown excellent activity against the major genera for nematodes attacking turfgrasses. When used according to the directions Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide can provide season long control. Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide kills the nematodes. This is a new synthetic chemistry that is a true Nematicide and not a NemaStat. Ne matodes as they come into contact with this product will die soon after exposure or become inactive and die. Applications should be uni formly broadcasted overtop turfgrass suspected to have nematodes or with a history of nematodes.Page 4 of 6 Crop Rate Applic ation Information Turfgrass 60-120 pounds per acre Treated areas must be irrigated following applications in order to get the active ingredient into the root zone and soil. Irrigation amounts are variable depending on turfgrass thatch/density but generally 0.5 inch of water is adequate. Aerifications prior (1-10 days) to application have been shown to increase speed and improve control. Any type of aerification (solid tine, hollow tine, core or plugs or verti-cutting) will improv e product performance and improve soil and root penetration. Do not apply more than 240 pounds of product per acre per year. Do not apply more than 120 pounds per single application except as a rescue treatment for sod grass, for which 240 pounds can be applied in a single application. Do not allow treated turfgrass or grass clippings to be used as hay, forage to livestock animals.

Nematode counts/assays are an important part of an int egrated pest management program and are essential for developing a nematode management program. It is recomm ended that a nematode assay report be done prior to applications to identify populations and nematode sp ecies; however, nematode assay counts following applications can be variable. Nematode counts used as a measurement of control in many cases can be misleading due to normal variability. Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide has proven to provide excellent control of the nematodes following application. Nema tode counts have been reduced over time but nematode counts have been variable as to the optimum time of sampli ng. The best method of measurement for this product is root evaluation. A simple root core taken approximat ely 4-5 inches in depth has shown consistent increases in turfgrass root lengths, root density, root weights and healthy new roots. Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide has consistently provided healthier turf effects and r oot protection against nematodes. In certain cases depending on environmental conditions a positive turf grass response (green-up effect) can be seen.



### For Broadcast Applications on establishe d Bermudagrass, Zoysiagrass, Seashore Paspalum, St. Augustinegrass, Centipedegr ass and Tall Fescue. (Including golf course greens, tees, fairways, sport fields, co mmercial turfgrass areas and residential turfgrass). It is recommended this product be applied by a commercial applicator.

In the Southern US States, Apply Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide to turfgrass in early spring or as nematode symptoms become present. The earlier Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide is applied before symptoms become severe the more control and protection th is product will provide. In the transition area (where turfgrass goes dormant due to frost) make application fo llowing spring green-up or when the turfgrass is actively growing.

Crop Rate Product Information Bermudagrass, St. Augustinegrass, Zoysiagrass, Centipedegrass, Seashore Paspalum, and Tall Fescue 60-120 pounds per acre applied broadcast over the top of the turfgrass  60 pounds per acre may be applied at 1

month intervals for 4 consecutive months

 80 pounds per acre may be applied at 1

month intervals for 3 consecutive months

 120 pounds per acre may be made in spring or early summer with a second application of 120 pounds per acre 2-6 months following the initial broadcast application Do not apply more than 240 pounds of product per acre per year.

To improve the product penetration to the root zone/soil the broadcast application should follow aerification (1-10 days) prior to application. It is required to irrigat e following application with an adequate amount of waterPage 5 of 6 (generally 0.5 inches). The listed southe rn turfgrasses have shown good tolerance to Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G

Nematicide when applied as a broadcast application. Depending on nematode populations and damage, applications can be made monthly, bi-monthly or sequentially.



### Creeping Bentgrass (including Greens, Tees and Fairways)
Apply Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide to Creeping Bentgrass in early spring or as nematode symptoms become present. The earlier Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide is applied before symptoms become severe the more control and protection this product will provid e. Apply to Creeping Bentgrass when the turfgrass is
actively growing



### .

Crop Rate Product Information Creeping Bentgrass 60 pounds per acre at 4 week intervals (limited to 4 applications) Tolerance to Quali-Pro® Nimitz® 1.5 G Nematicide has been observed at rates of 60 pounds per acre. The tolerance to transition zone Creeping Bentgrass depends on the level of environmental stresses on the bentgrass prior to the broadcast application. Some research has shown slight phytotoxicity to transition zone Creeping Bentgrass which most likely was caused by higher levels of stress during application periods. Do not apply more than 240 pounds of product per acre per year.

To improve the product penetration to the root zone an d soil the broadcast application should follow aerification (1-10 days) prior to application. It is required to ir rigate following application with an adequate amount of water (generally 0.5 inches).



### Nematode Control as a Rescue Treatment for Sod Turfgrass of Zoysiagrass, Bermudagrass and St. Augustinegrass on Sod Farms
For Nematode control prior to harvesting/cutting turfgr ass sod on sod farms, make a broadcast application 1-2 months prior to harvesting or cutting turfgrass sod. Make an application of Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide at 120 – 240 pounds per acre to the established turfgrass sod. It is required to irrigate the sod following application with an adequate amount of water (generally 0.25- 0.5 inches). For low cut or fairway height turfgrass sod to improve the product penetration to the root zone and soil it is recommended that the broadcast application should follow aerification (1-10 days) prior to application. Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide has been shown to provide effective control of nem atodes and increase root tensile strength of newly harvested sod.

A dust filtering NIOSH approved P5 respirator is requi red for all mixer/loader activities for sod farms and for applicator activities in rescue treatments.



### Application Equipment

Quali-Pro ® Nimitz ® 1.5 G Nematicide can be applied as a broadcast applicat ion with typical turfgrass spreaders including Gandy, Scotts, Lesco, Spyker, Vicon, Lilly or others. Applicatio ns can be made with rotary spreaders or drop spreaders. It is recommended that the applicator ca librate their application equipment prior to application to ensure proper/uniform applications over the desired areas.

NOTE: Thoroughly clean application equipment prior to us e and also before using equipment for application of other pesticides.Page 6 of 6
