Chemigation Application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) medium classification. Applications MUST be conducted WITHOUT the use of end guns.

 

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

 

Do not apply when wind speed causes non‐uniform distribution and/or favours drift beyond the area intended for treatment.

 

Apply this product only through drip irrigation systems, and only to crops where specified under SECTION 9 of this label. Do not apply this product through any other type of irrigation system. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues in the crop can result from non‐ uniform distribution of treated water. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact provincial extension service specialists, equipment manufacturers or other experts. 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. This product has not been sufficiently tested when applied through irrigation systems to assure consistent product performance for all labeled uses. The following application techniques are provided for user reference but do not constitute a warranty of fitness for application through drip irrigation equipment. Users must check with provincial and local regulatory agencies for potential use restrictions before applying any agricultural chemical through sprinkler or drip irrigation equipment.

 

Do not connect an irrigation system used for pesticide application to a public water system, unless the pesticide label prescribed safety devices for public water systems are in place. ‘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, reduced‐pressure zone (RPZ), back flow preventer, or the functional equivalent in the water supply line upstream from the point of pesticide introduction. As an alternative 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 flow 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 pump. 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 systems 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.

 

Spray mixture in the chemical supply tank must be agitated at all times, otherwise settling and uneven application may occur. Apply pesticide continuously for the duration of the water application. For mixing instructions, please refer to directions in SECTION 11 of this label.

 

This product may be used through drip irrigation on crops where specified under SECTION 9 of this label. 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 back flow. With stationary systems, an effectively designed in‐line Venturi applicator unit is preferred to support even and quick distribution. However, a positive‐ displacement pump can also be used. Mix desired amount of this product for area to be covered with water so that the total mixture of this product plus water in the injection tank is equal to the quantity of water used during calibration. Provide chemical supply tank agitation sufficient for mixing until chemigation is completed. Operate entire system at normal pressures recommended by the manufacturer of injection equipment used, for amount of time established during calibration. This product can be injected during the irrigation cycle or as a separate application. For drip irrigation systems, introduce fungicide into irrigation solution for a period sufficient to distribute the product uniformly in the crop. Fungicide should be added near the end of the normal irrigation cycle so that subsequent watering will not flush the product from the root zone. Stop injection equipment with any system after treatment is completed and continue to operate irrigation system until this product has been cleared from the last drip irrigation line. See crops section on the label for recommended treatment rates and additional use information.

Spray Buffer zones:

           

A spray buffer zone is NOT required for:

•          uses with hand-held application equipment permitted on this label, and

•          low-clearance hooded or shielded sprayers that prevent spray contact with non-target crop, fruit or foliage.

 

The spray buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine habitats.

Section 11: MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

 

PROLINE GOLD must be applied with properly calibrated, clean equipment.

Prior to adding PROLINE GOLD to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean:

·      Add one-half of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank and start agitation.

·      Add the required quantity of PROLINE GOLD to the water and complete filling with water to the required total volume.

 

 

Section 12: RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

 

For resistance management, PROLINE GOLD contains a Group 7 and a Group 3 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to PROLINE GOLD and other Group 7 and Group 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

 

To delay fungicide resistance:

·      Where possible, rotate the use of PROLINE GOLD or other Group 7 and Group 3 fungicides with different groups that control the same pathogens.

·      Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that is effective on the target pathogen when such use is permitted.

·      The total number of sprays containing Group 7 fungicides in a mixture should not exceed half of the total number of fungicide applications in a season.

·      Fungicide use should be based on an integrated disease management program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.

·      Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications.

·      Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. Notify Bayer if reduced sensitivity of the pathogen to PROLINE GOLD is suspected.

·      If disease continues to progress after treatment with this product, do not increase the use rate. Discontinue use of this product, and switch to another fungicide with a different target site of action, if available.

·      Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and disease problems in your area.

 

For further information and to report suspected resistance, contact a Bayer representative at 1-888-283-6847 or at www.cropscience.bayer.ca.
