PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Applicators and other handlers must wear:

 Long-sleeved shirt and long pants

 Waterproof gloves

 Shoes plus socks

 Mixer/loaders and applicators must wear a dust/mist filtering respirator meeting NIOSH 

standards of at least N-95, R-95, or P-95. Repeated exposure to high concentrations of 

microbial proteins can cause allergic sensitization.

Follow manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and maintaining PPE. If no instructions are 

available, use detergent and hot water for washables. Keep and wash PPE separately from other 

laundry.

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

requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides, the 

handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.

USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

Users should:

 Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticides get inside. Then wash thoroughly and put 

on clean clothing.

 Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before 

removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS

For Terrestrial Uses: 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. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift or runoff 

from treated areas.

GENERAL INFORMATION

CX-9032 is a broad-spectrum preventative biofungicide/bactericide for control or suppression of 

fungal and bacterial plant diseases. The active ingredient of CX-9032 is a naturally occurring

strain (D747) of the beneficial bacterium Bacillus subtilis var. amyloliquefaciens. CX-9032 kills

pathogenic organisms on foliage and other plant parts by producing antibiotic compounds 

(iturins) which disrupt pathogen cell wall production. CX-9032 also colonizes plant root hairs, 

preventing establishment of disease-causing fungi and bacteria.

CX-9032 can be applied alone or in combination and/or rotation with chemical fungicides as a 

tool for integrated disease management in agricultural crops, ornamental and nursery plants, and 

turfgrass. CX-9032 offers a valuable tool for management of resistance to chemical fungicides 

through its multiple and unique modes of action.

CX-9032 is exempt from the requirement for residue tolerance and therefore can be applied up to 

and including the day of harvest.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

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

any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the State or Tribal agency responsible 

for pesticide regulation.

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.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard 40 

CFR Part 170. This standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on 

farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains 

requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also 

contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about 

personal protective equipment (PPE), and restricted entry intervals. The requirements in this box 

only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 

4 hours.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection 

Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil or 

water is: coveralls, waterproof gloves, shoes plus socks.

Exception: If the product is soil injected or soil incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, 

under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact 

with anything that has been treated.

MIXING AND HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the required amount of CX-9032 in water with sufficient agitation to maintain a uniform 

suspension in the spray or mixing tank. Tank should be cleaned prior to use. Do not use highly

alkaline or highly acidic water to mix sprays. Use a buffering agent if necessary to maintain 

neutrality (pH 6 to 8) of water in the tank. Maintain agitation during application. Apply

immediately after mixing; do not allow spray mix to stand overnight.

CX-9032 can be mixed and used with other agricultural chemicals for which such mixing is 

permitted by the product labels, in accordance with the most restrictive of those label limitations 

and precautions. If such a mixture is planned, a compatibility “jar test” should first be conducted 

by mixing the correct proportions of CX-9032 and these products in a small volume of water.

APPLICATION METHODS

Ground: CX-9032 can be applied in most commonly-used ground application equipment, such 

as (but not limited to): tractor-mounted boom, airblast, high clearance, hose-end, backpack, and

Footnotes:

*Suppression only; for improved control mix or rotate with chemical fungicide approved for such use.

1 Tank mix or rotate with copper-based fungicides at label rates for improved control.

2Apply at or immediately following planting (but before plant emergence) as a banded seedline treatment 4 to 6 inches wide. Make second 

application at thinning or cultivation in sufficient water and multiple nozzles to ensure thorough coverage of lower leaves and surrounding soil 

surface. Incorporation with light irrigation after application may improve disease control. Repeat at 10-14 day intervals if conditions 

promoting disease persist.

3 For greasy spot suppression, apply at first new foliar flush and repeat with each new flush. Tank mix with spray oil or copper based fungicide 

at labeled rates.

4 For suppression of citrus scab, start applications at first new foliage flush and repeat at petal fall and when fruit are 1⁄2 inch in diameter.

5 Make first application at or before tight cluster if conditions favor disease development. Repeat at 7-10 day intervals through the second cover 

spray or longer on susceptible varieties or if environmental conditions favor rapid disease development.

6 Begin applications before bloom when environmental conditions favor disease development, repeating at 7 to 14 day intervals or as needed. 

Control may be enhanced by addition of a surfactant to improve spray coverage. Use only surfactants known to be safe for use on the crop 

and for which such use is allowed.

7Rotate with antibiotics registered for fire blight control for improved performance. Begin applications at 1-5% open blossoms and repeat every 

3-7 days as necessary until petal fall, when intervals can be increased to 7 days. CX-9032 can also be used in summer “cover spray” 

applications to control the shoot blight phase of fire blight and summer diseases. Can be mixed with copper fungicides to improve control.

8Make first application at popcorn stage and repeat every 7 days.

9

Start applying at early bloom stage and repeat every 7 days through petal fall.

10 Pre-harvest applications in sufficient water to cover fruit or other harvested plant parts may improve control of postharvest infections.

11Begin applications at or before pistillate bloom, repeating every 7-10 days. Apply before rainfall if possible, and tank mix or rotate with a 

copper-based bactericide registered for such use for improved control.

12

Start applications at or just before flowering and repeat every 7-10 days as needed through harvest.

13 Apply before fall rains and again during dormancy before spring growth.

14

Start applications when new shoots are 1⁄2 to 11⁄2 inches long. Repeat at 3-5 inches, 8-10 inches, and then at 7-10 day intervals until disease 

conditions no longer exist. 

15 Apply at bloom, before bunch closure, at veraison, and before harvest.

16 Apply when shoots are 1⁄2 to 1 inch long and again when 6-8 inches long.

17 Mix 2 fluid ounces CX-9032 per gallon of water and apply to pruning wounds. 

18 Apply at budbreak and repeat on 14-21 day interval as needed through harvest.

19 Apply at flowering and repeat on 14-21 day interval as needed through harvest

20 Apply at first appearance of leaves and repeat at 7-21 day intervals as needed, in sufficient water to obtain thorough coverage of foliage. 

Tank mix with spray oil or other registered fungicides for improved control.

21 Mix 6 to10 fluid ounces CX-9032 per 100 gallons of water and apply in minimum of 20 gallons per acre form emergence to training, 50 

gallons per acre from training to wire, and 100 gallons per acre from wire touch through harvest.

22

For treatment of horseradish or strawberry roots immediately before transplanting: immerse bare roots (individually or in bunches) for 10 

seconds in a suspension of 1 to 2 pints CX-9032 per gallon of water.

Foliar application: For control of diseases on foliage, flowers, fruit, or other above-ground 

parts of plants: Mix CX-9032 in water and apply as a spray at a rate of 0.5 to 6 quarts of CX9032 per acre in sufficient water to achieve thorough coverage of the crop canopy with minimal 

runoff. Begin applications at crop emergence, transplanting, or when conditions are conducive 

to development of disease. Repeat application every 3 to 10 days, or as needed, for as long as 

conditions favor disease development. Lower rates (0.5 to 3 quarts per acre) may be applied 

under light disease pressure, to smaller (e.g. newly-emerged) plants, or when CX-9032 is used in 

a tank mix with other fungicides whose labels allow such use. Under moderate to severe disease 

pressure, or when environmental conditions and plant stage are conducive to rapid disease 
CX-9032 DRAFT Master Label 11/1/2011

Page 8 of 17

development, use higher label rates (3-6 quarts/acre), apply more frequently (every 3-7 days), 

and mix or rotate CX-9032 with other fungicides for improved performance.

Soil application: For control of soilborne diseases infecting seeds, seedlings, roots, crown, stems, 

or other plant parts below ground or in contact with soil: Apply CX-9032 at 0.5 to 4.5 pints 

per acre. Mix the required amount in sufficient water to apply by one of the following methods:

 Soil drench applied to transplants in flats or pots in the greenhouse or nursery any time prior 

to transplanting (see additional drench instructions under “Nurseries, greenhouses, shade 

houses, and ornamental plants” below).

 Soil drench at transplanting, using a “water wheel” injector, spray nozzles/hoses, or other 

method to drench each root ball and/or planting hole. 

 Soil or seedline drench, or banded spray (in-furrow) at planting. See the section on “Banded 

(in-furrow) application” below for additional instructions.

Follow-up (post-planting) preventative applications can be made every 2-4 weeks by one or 

more of the following methods, if needed:

 Drip (trickle) or any type of sprinkler irrigation, any time after planting or transplanting. 

See Chemigation Instructions for additional information.

 Spray directly onto the soil surface and/or lower plant parts. If targeting root disease, follow 

immediately with sufficient overhead sprinkler irrigation to move CX-9032 to the root zone. 

 Injection directly into the rooting zone using shanks or similar equipment. 

Lower rates (0.5 to 2 pints of CX-9032

per acre) may be applied under light disease pressure, to smaller plants, or when CX-9032 is 

used in a tank mix with other fungicides whose labels allow such use. Under moderate to severe 

disease pressure, or when environmental conditions and plant stage are conducive to rapid 

disease development, use higher label rates (2 - 4.5 pints per acre), apply more frequently (every

2 weeks), and mix or rotate CX-9032 with other fungicides for improved performance.

Banded (in-furrow) application: Use the table below (rate CX-9032 per acre) to determine the 

correct application rate in fluid ounces per 1,000 row feet based on row spacing and desired rate 

per acre. Mix the required amount of CX-9032 in water and apply as banded spray (4” to 6” 

wide) or seedline drench centered over the planting furrow. Apply directly over seeds in the 

furrow just before they are covered with soil. The volume of water required per acre or per 

1,000 row feet will depend on the application equipment used. Consult your local cooperative 

extension service if you need assistance calibrating band spraying equipment.

Nurseries, greenhouses, shadehouses, and ornamental plants

Spray application: Mix 0.5 to 6 quarts of CX-9032 per 100 gallons of water and apply as a 

foliar spray of sufficient volume to wet the entire plant with minimal runoff. Begin preventative 

applications at plant emergence and repeat every 3-28 days as needed (every 3-7 days if disease 

pressure is high or environmental conditions are highly favorable to disease outbreak, 10-28 days 

under low pressure or less conducive conditions).

Drench application: Mix 0.5 to 4.5 pints of CX-9032 per 100 gallons of water and apply as a 

drench or coarse spray to soil or other growing media in pots, flats, plugs, trays, or planting beds, 

for control or suppression of soilborne diseases of seedlings, cuttings, bedding plants, and 

transplants (including vegetables and other transplanted food crops). Make first application at or 

immediately before seeding, sticking, germination, or transplanting. Repeat applications every

14-28 days as needed. Transplants can be treated immediately before transplanting into field

soils to protect against damping-off and other diseases that reduce plant establishment. 

Cutting or root dip: Dip basal end of cuttings or bare roots (individually or in bunches) in a 

suspension of 1 to 2 pints of CX-9032 per gallon of water. Immerse for 5-10 seconds 

immediately before planting.

Chemigation: Mix 0.5 to 4.5 pints of CX-9032 per 100 gallons of water and apply via drip, 

handheld, or sprinkler irrigation systems. Refer to “Chemigation Instructions” for more details.

CHEMIGATION INSTRUCTIONS

General information:

Apply this product only through drip (trickle) irrigation (including micro-irrigation through 

spaghetti tubes or individual tubes) or sprinkler irrigation (including impact or microsprinklers, 

microjet, overhead boom, water gun, solid set, lateral move, end tow, side-roll, center pivot, or 

hand move, including mist-type systems); or with hand-held calibrated irrigation equipment 

(such as a hand-held wand with injector). Do not apply this product through any other type of 

irrigation system.

Crop injury or lack of effectiveness can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water.

If you have questions about calibration, contact State Extension Service specialists, equipment 

manufacturers or other experts.

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.

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.

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.

Chemigation systems connected to public water systems must contain a functional, reducedpressure 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.

The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional, automatic, quick-closing check 

valve to prevent the flow of fluid back toward the injection.

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.

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.

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.

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

GENERAL INFORMATION

CX-9032 is a broad-spectrum preventative biofungicide/bactericide for control or suppression of 

fungal and bacterial plant diseases. The active ingredient of CX-9032 is a naturally occurring 

strain (D747) of the beneficial bacterium Bacillus amyloliquefaciens. CX-9032 kills pathogenic 

organisms on foliage and other plant parts by producing antibiotic compounds (iturins) which 

disrupt pathogen cell wall production. CX-9032 also colonizes plant root hairs, preventing 

establishment of disease-causing fungi and bacteria.

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 State or Tribal agency responsible for 

pesticide regulation.

Mixing instructions:

CX-9032 must be mixed with water and applied as a spray to fruit and foliage, or as a drench to 

plant roots. See below for specific mix rate information.

Application rates and methods:

Spray application for control of powdery mildews, leaf spots, anthracnose, gray mold, and other 

diseases affecting leaves, flowers, fruit, and other above-ground plant parts of ornamental home 

garden plants: Mix 1 teaspoon of CX-9032 per gallon of water and apply directly to plants using

a hand pump sprayer or other suitable spray equipment. Spray just enough to wet all leaves and 

fruit with minimal run-off or dripping. Total coverage depends on the size of plants to be sprayed 

and the type of sprayer used. Repeat as needed to maintain disease control, typically every 7-10 

days. If disease is prevalent or environmental conditions such as high humidity favor disease 

outbreak, increase the mixing rate to 1 tablespoon per gallon and shorten the interval between 

sprays to every 3-7 days. 

Drench application for control of diseases affecting plant roots, tubers, or other parts of 

ornamental plants in contact with soil in the home garden: Mix 1 teaspoon of CX-9032 per 

gallon of water and apply to the soil by one of the following methods:

1. For potted plants (indoors or outdoors), apply in sufficient water to wet the entire root 

mass using a watering can or tank-fed watering wand. Do not water plants again until 24 

hours after application. Alternatively, use a hand-pump or other sprayer to spray the 

mixture on the soil surface in each pot, then immediately apply sufficient water to move 

the product into the roots.

2. Drench the roots of transplants with approx. 4 fluid ounces of the mixture immediately

before transplanting into pots or garden soil. Allow to soak into the root ball before 

transplanting.

3. For outdoor-grown plants, use a watering can or sprayer to drench the soil in the planting 

furrow or transplant hole immediately before planting or transplanting. The amount of 

water required will depend on the size of the hole or length of furrow.

4. Alternatively, apply in the first watering after planting or transplanting, either by mixing 

directly into the water at the rate indicated above, or by spraying onto the soil surface at 

the base of each plant and immediately watering in with a watering can, hose, sprinkler, 

or other watering device.

CX-9032 can be applied up to and including the day of harvest.

For application to lawns and other turfgrass areas: Mix 1 teaspoon of CX-9032 per gallon of 

water and apply as a fine spray to the surface of the lawn or grass area. Total amount of mix 

required will depend on the type of sprayer used and area to be covered, but typically 2 to 5 

gallons of spray mix may be required per 1,000 square feet of turf. CX-9032 can be “watered in” 

for control of soilborne root and crown diseases by thorough watering immediately after 

application either with sprinklers or by spraying just before or during light rain.
