Resistance Management Advisory for Cereal Crops:

Repeated applications of standalone demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides should not be used on the same crop in one season against high risk pathogens, such as cereal powdery mildew, in areas of high disease pressure for that particular pathogen. Mixture products, tank mixtures or alternation with fungicides having a different mode of action applied at effective rates have been shown to protect against the development of resistant forms of disease.

TANK MIXES

This product may be tank mixed with a fertilizer, a supplement, or with registered pest control products, whose labels also allow tank mixing, provided the entirety of both labels, including Directions For Use, Precautions, Restrictions, Environmental Precautions, and Spray Buffer Zones are followed for each product. In cases where these requirements differ between the tank mix partner labels, the most restrictive label must be followed. Do not tank mix products containing the same active ingredient unless specifically listed on this label.

In some cases, tank mixing pest control products can result in reduced pesticide efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Bayer CropScience Inc. at 1-888-283-6847 or www.cropscience.bayer.ca for information before applying any tank mix that is not specifically recommended on this label.

Do not tank mix with herbicides or fungicides unless specifically listed on this label.

Bayer CropScience Inc. has not fully assessed performance (efficacy) and/or crop tolerance (phytotoxicity) of all potential tank mixes under all environmental conditions or for all crop varieties. Tank mixes that are not specifically listed on this label should be tested on a small area first, under local conditions and using standard practices, to confirm the tank mix is suitable for widespread application.

Spray Buffer Zones:

A spray buffer zone is NOT required for uses with hand-held application equipment permitted on this label.

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. In addition to the buffer zones specified in the table below, users must also observe spray buffer zones specified under APPLICATION IN FIELDS ADJACENT TO AQUATIC AREAS.

Method of application	Crop		Spray buffer zones (metres) required for the protection of
			Freshwater habitat of depths		Estuarine/Marine habitat of depth		Terrestrial habitat
			Less than 1 m	Greater than 1 m	Less than 1 m	Greater than 1 m	Terrestrial habitat
Field sprayer	Barley, Wheat (winter, spring and durum), Barley, Oats, Triticale (Spring, winter)		1	0	1	0	1
Aerial	Wheat (winter, durum, spring), Barley, Oats, Triticale (Spring, winter)	Fixed-wing	2	0	0	0	15
Aerial		Rotary-wing	1	0	0	0	10

When tank mixes are permitted, consult the labels of the tank mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) spray buffer zone of the products involved in the tank mixture and apply using the coarsest spray (ASAE) category indicated on the labels for those tank mix partners.

The spray buffer zones required for the protection of terrestrial habitats for this product can be modified based on weather conditions and spray equipment configuration by accessing the Buffer Zone Calculator on the Pesticide portion of the Canada.ca web site.

APPLICATION IN FIELDS ADJACENT TO AQUATIC AREAS:

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, AND ESTUARIES.

DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water body.

Do not cultivate within 3 metres of an aquatic area to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip.

Do not apply by ground or air within 30 metres of aquatic areas listed above.

The aquatic buffer zone of 30 metres may not be modified by the Buffer Zone Calculator on the Pest Management Regulatory Agency web site.

Volume: Apply the recommended rate in a minimum spray volume of 50 L of water/ha.

SECTION 13: RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

For resistance management, please note that PROSARO XTR Fungicide contains two Group 3 fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to PROSARO XTR Fungicide and other Group 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. 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 PROSARO XTR Fungicide or other Group 3 fungicides with different groups that control the same pathogens.
Do not apply more than one application of PROSARO XTR Fungicide per season.
Use tank mixture with fungicides from a different group that is effective on the target pathogen when such use is permitted.
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 CropScience Inc. if reduced sensitivity of the pathogen to PROSARO XTR Fungicide 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 pathogens.

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