SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 Table 51.  Summary of Labeling Changes for
Mancozeb

Description	Amended Labeling Language	Placement on Label

Manufacturing Use Products

For all Manufacturing Use Products	“Only for formulation into a
fungicide for the following uses: [registrant fills in blank with only
those uses being supported by MP registrants].”

Technical and end-use product labels must be revised to delete all
references to and use-directions for the following cancelled use
patterns: foliar use on cotton, pineapple propagation use, all uses on
turfgrass in residential settings and athletic fields, and all uses on
pachysandra.

Manufacturers of products formulated as wettable powders must prohibit
the following:

- application of wettable powder products to turf on sod farms

- application of wettable powder formulations to turf unless packaged in
water soluble packaging

Manufacturers of products formulated as liquids must prohibit the
following:

- application of liquids by aerial or chemigation methods to golf
courses

- application of liquids aerially to sod farms.

≥ 50,000 cwt per week (2,500 tons/week) to prevent dusts from
contacting handlers or other persons during seed piece treatment. 

Manufacturers of products formulated as wettable powders applied wet
that have use directions for seed treatment must require, on the end-use
product labels,  use of a dust collection system in mixing and loading
wettable powder to prevent dusts from contacting handlers or other
persons during mixing and loading.	Directions for Use

One of these statements may be added to a label to allow reformulation
of the product for a specific use or all additional uses supported by a
formulator or user group	“This product may be used to formulate
products for specific use(s) not listed on the manufacturing use product
label if the formulator, user group, or grower has complied with U.S.
EPA submission requirements regarding support of such use(s).”

“This product may be used to formulate products for any additional
use(s) not listed on the manufacturing use product label if the
formulator, user group, or grower has complied with U.S. EPA submission
requirements regarding support of such use.”	Directions for Use

Environmental Hazards Statements Required by the RED and Agency Label
Policies	“This pesticide is toxic to aquatic organisms.  Drift and
runoff from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in
neighboring areas.  Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where

water mark.  Do not contaminate water when cleaning equipment or
disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate.”	Precautionary
Statements: Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals

Spray Drift Label Language for Products Applied as a Spray	"SPRAY DRIFT
MANAGEMENT”

“A variety of factors including weather conditions (e.g., wind
direction, wind speed, temperature, relative humidity) and method of
application (e.g., ground, aerial, airblast, chemigation) can influence
pesticide drift.  The applicator must evaluate all factors and make
appropriate adjustments when applying this product.” 

Wind Speed

“Do not apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. 

 Temperature Inversions

“If applying at wind speeds less than 3 mph, the applicator must
determine if a) conditions of temperature inversion exist, or b) stable
atmospheric conditions exist at or below nozzle height.  Do not make
applications into areas of temperature inversions or stable atmospheric
conditions.”

Other State and Local Requirements

“Applicators must follow all state and local pesticide drift
requirements regarding application of mancozeb.  Where states have more
stringent regulations, they must be observed.”

Equipment

“All aerial and ground application equipment must be properly
maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers or surrogates.”

Additional requirements for aerial applications:

1.  “The boom length must not exceed 75% of the wingspan or 90% of the
rotor blade diameter.”

 “Release spray at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and
flight safety.  Do not release spray at a height greater than 10 feet
above the crop canopy unless a greater height is required for aircraft
safety.”

3.  “When applications are made with a crosswind, the swath must be
displaced downwind.  The applicator must compensate for this
displacement at the up and downwind edge of the application area by
adjusting the path of the aircraft upwind.”

Additional requirements for ground boom application:

1.  “Do not apply with a nozzle height greater than 4 feet above the
crop canopy.”	Spray Drift Label Language for Products Applied as a
