TANK MIXTURES

 

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 and Environmental Precautions 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.

 

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. Conduct a germination test on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to tank mixes that are not specifically listed on this label.

 

To determine the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test. Always read and follow label directions including WAMLEGS mixing order.

 

For control of certain insect pests and/or additional diseases not on the EVERGOL Energy product label, EVERGOL Energy may be combined with certain seed treatment insecticides and fungicides. Refer to the registered label of the tank mix partner(s) for application rates, precautions and directions for use associated with those products, and follow the most restrictive label precautions and limitations.

¹ For control of early-season Phytophthora in soybean, EVERGOL Energy may also be tank mixed with 35 mL of ALLEGIANCE^® FL per 100 kg seed.

 

 

 

COLOURATION OF TREATED SEED:

This product contains no colourant. An appropriate colourant must be added when this product is applied to seed. Regulations pertaining to colouration of treated seed enforced under the Seeds Act must be strictly adhered to when using this product.

 

SLURRY PREPARATION:

When preparing a slurry of EVERGOL Energy with dilatants such as water or liquid inoculants, additional or continuous agitation or mixing may be necessary to prevent EVERGOL Energy from settling out. Do not store diluted slurry mixtures.

 

SEED TREATMENT AND INOCULANTS:

Please check with inoculant manufacturers for application and compatibility details prior to use.

 

Seeds treated with EVERGOL Energy and seed inoculants may not flow through seeding equipment at the same rate as untreated seeds. Recalibrate the seeding equipment prior to planting treated seeds. Mixing EVERGOL Energy with seed inoculants may increase drying time while treating and extend the processing time.

 

SEED QUALITY:

Lab and field studies have shown that EVERGOL Energy treated seed can be stored without loss in germination or disease performance. Many large-seed legumes are prone to mechanical damage during seed handling, and a reduction in germination within a seed lot can occur should handling cause seed damage irrespective of seed treatment application. EVERGOL Energy-treated or untreated seed may drop in germination with age and germination drops are accelerated under adverse storage conditions or in seed with a high level of mechanical damage. Use handling equipment designed to minimize mechanical damage when moving seed. Due to seed quality and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Bayer CropScience Inc., no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over seed or propagating materials for all crop seed. Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigour and poor quality, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigour. Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct germination tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment.

 

 

 

USE RESTRICTIONS:

·       Treated seed must not be used for food, feed or oil processing.

·       Do not apply this product directly to freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs, ditches, and wetlands), estuaries, or marine habitats.

·       Do not contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

 

LABELLING TREATED SEED:

All bags containing treated seed must be labelled or tagged as follows: “This seed has been treated with EVERGOL^® Energy, which contains penflufen, prothioconazole and metalaxyl. When handling treated seed wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical-resistant gloves. DO NOT use for feed, food or oil processing. Store away from feeds and other foodstuffs.”

 

ROTATIONAL CROPS:

Registered crops for EVERGOL Energy, as well as Canola, Mustard, Rapeseed, Borage, Flax, Crambe and Potato, may be replanted at any time. For all other crops, do not plant-back within 30 days of seeding with EVERGOL Energy-treated seed.

 

 

 

For resistance management, please note that EVERGOL Energy contains a Group 3, 4, and 7 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to EVERGOL Energy and other Group 3, 4 and 7 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 EVERGOL Energy or other Group 3, 4 and 7 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.

·       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 EVERGOL Energy 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.
