Registration pending in California
** Not registered, label withdrawn or inactive.
1 Group numbers are assigned by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) according to different modes of actions (for more information, see http://www.frac.info/). Fungicides with a different group number are suitable to alternate in a resistance management program. In California, make no more than one application of fungicides with mode of action Group numbers 1, 4, 9, 11, or 17 before rotating to a fungicide with a different mode of action Group number; for fungicides with other Group numbers, make no more than two consecutive applications before rotating to fungicide with a different mode of action Group number.
2 To reduce the risk of resistance development start treatments with a fungicide with a multi-site mode of action; rotate or mix fungicides with different mode of action FRAC numbers for subsequent applications, use labeled rates (preferably the upper range), and limit the total number of applications/season.
3 Causes severe phytotoxicity on Concord grape.
4 Phytotoxic if used within 2 weeks of Captan or sulfur.

TREATMENT TIMINGS FOR KEY DISEASES

Note: Not all indicated timings may be necessary for disease control.
Disease Dormant Budbreak Full bloom Pre-close Veraison Preharvest/

Rating: +++ = most effective, ++ = moderately effective, + = least effective, and ---- = ineffective
1  Apply only if rain is forecast.
2 Use 10 gal lime sulfur per acre in at least 100 gal water.
3 Apply bud break and full bloom treatments every year.
4 Apply as needed (a disease risk assessment model is available to help determine need for spray).
