Evito 480 SC Fungicide

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

APPLICATION GUIDELINES:

Broadcast Ground Sprayers

Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Applications using sufficient water volume to provide thorough and uniform coverage generally provide the most effective disease control. For ground application equipment, 10 gallons/A minimum is required.

Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide an accurate and uniform application. Be certain that nozzles are the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom. Calibrate the sprayer before use. Use a pump with the capacity to: (1) maintain a minimum of 35 psi at nozzles, and (2) provide sufficient agitation in the tank to keep the mixture in suspension (this requires recirculation of 10% of the tank volume per minute). Use jet agitators or a liquid sparge tube for vigorous agitation. Use screens to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging. Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser. Do not place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50-mesh screens at the nozzles. Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations. For information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer manufacturer’s and/or provincial recommendations. For specific local directions and spray schedules, consult the current provincial recommendations.

Mixing Procedures

Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product. Maintain maximum agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area.

EVITO 480 SC Fungicide Alone

Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the EVITO 480 SC Fungicide to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after the EVITO 480 SC Fungicide has completely and uniformly dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixtures has been applied.

EVITO 480 SC Fungicide + Tank-mix Partners

Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any tank-mix partners. In general, tank-mix partners should be added in this order: products packaged in water-soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules, dry flowables, liquid flowables, liquids, and emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank-mix partner to become fully and uniformly dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixtures has been applied.

Note: When using EVITO 480 SC Fungicide in tank-mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank-mix partner, including  EVITO 480 SC Fungicide. Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank-mix partner to the tank.

If using  EVITO 480 SC Fungicide in a tank-mixture, observe all directions for use, crop/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations, which appear on the tank-mix product label. No label dosage rate may be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed. This product must not be mixed with any product that prohibits such mixing. Tank-mixtures or application of other products referenced on this label is permitted only in those states in which the referenced products are registered.

USE DIRECTIONS FOR SPECIFIC CROPS:

EVITO 480 SC Fungicide provides control or suppression of several important diseases of corn (field, sweet, and hybrid seed corn), fruiting vegetables and leaf petiole vegetables, listed low growing berries, melons*, peanuts, potato and other tuberous and corn vegetables, sorghum*, rice*, soybean, and wheat. When reference is made to disease suppression, suppression can mean either erratic control from good to fair or consistent control at a level below that obtained with the best commercial disease control products.

*Not for use in California.

ROTATIONAL RESTRICTIONS:

Treated areas may be replanted immediately following harvest with any crop listed on the label. In addition, areas may be replanted with root vegetable subgroup (e.g., carrot, radish, sugarbeet, turnips), bulb vegetables (e.g., onion and garlic), leafy greens subgroup (e.g., lettuce, spinach), brassica vegetables (e.g. broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, mustard greens), alfalfa, cotton, legume vegetables (dry and succulent peas and beans), cereal grains, and forage grasses following a 30-day plant back interval. For all other crops, do not plant back within one year of the last field application. 

SOILBORNE/SEEDLING DISEASE CONTROL

(Only for corn (field, sweet and hybrid seed corn), soybean, low-growing berry (crop subgroup 13-07G), Melons* Squash and cucumbers (crop subgroup 9B)*, sorghum*, tuberous and corn vegetables, and peanuts. *Not for use in California

Evito 480SC Fungicide can provide control of many soilborne diseases if applied early in the growing season. Specific applications for soilborne diseases include in-furrow applications or banded applications applied over the row, either shortly after plant emergence or during herbicide applications or cultivation. These applications will provide control of pre- or post-emergence damping iff and diseases that infect plants at the soil-plant interface, The use of either type of application depends on the cultural practices in the region. In some locations, one type of application may provide better disease control than the other, depending on the timing of the disease epidemic. Seedling diseases are generally controlled by in-furrow applications while banded applications are more effective against soilborne diseases that develop later in the season. Consult your local expert to get some guidance regarding application type.

For banded application, apply Evito 480 SC Fungicide prior to infection as a directed spray to the soil, using single or multiple nozzles, adjusted to provide thorough coverage of the lower stems and the soil surface surrounding the plants. Band width must be limited to 7 inches or less. Apply at a rate of 0.16-0.24 fl oz/1,000 row feet. (These applications come into contact with the foliage and are counted as foliar applications when considering resistance management. They may be applied during cultivation or hilling operations to provide soil incorporation. For in-furrow applications, apply Evito 480 SC Fungicide as an in-furrow spray in 3 to 20 gallons of water at planting. Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed into the furrow just before the seed or seed pieces are covered. Use the higher rate when the weather conditions are expected to be conducive for disease development, if the field has a history of Pythium problems, or if minimum/low til programs are in place.
