DIRECTIONS FOR USE

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE USE DIRECTIONS AND RESTRICTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN PLANT INJURY OR POOR DISEASE CONTROL.

Chemigation - Do not apply this through any irrigation/chemigation system.

RESTRICTIONS:

• Do not graze or feed clippings from treated turf areas to animals.
• Do not apply AzProp Select to the turf by air.

PRECAUTIONS:

• AzProp Select has demonstrated some phytotoxic effects when mixed with products that are formulated as EC’s. These effects are enhanced if applications are made under cool, cloudy conditions and these conditions remain for several days following application. In addition, adjuvants that contain some form of silicone have also contributed to phytotoxicity.

INTEGRATED PEST (DISEASE) MANAGEMENT

AzProp Select should be integrated into an overall disease and pest management strategy whenever the use of a fungicide is required. Cultural practices known to reduce disease development should be followed. The SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS section in this label identifies specific IPM recommendations. Consult your local turf authority for additional IPM strategies established for your area. AzProp Select may be used in State Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend application timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.

SPRAYING/MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Do not apply AzProp Select to the turf by air.

AzProp Select may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making ground applications. Do not apply AzProp Select through any type of ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system (less than 3 gals./A). Proper adjustments and calibration of spraying equipment to give good canopy penetration and coverage is essential for good disease control. The higher rates in the rate range and/ or shorter spray intervals may be required under conditions of heavy infection pressure, highly susceptible varieties, or when disease conducive environmental conditions exist.

Apply AzProp Select in sufficient water volume for adequate coverage.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare the spray solution, partially fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the specified amount of AzProp Select to the tank, allowing time for good dispersion, then add an adjuvant, if recommended. If tank mixes are required, the product should be added to the spray tank in the following order: AzProp Select, wettable granular or dry flowable formulations, wettable powders, and flowable (aqueous suspensions) products. Finish filling the tank to the desired volume to obtain the proper spray concentration. Maintain agitation throughout the spraying operation.

Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. Make-up only the amount of spray required for immediate use. Sprayers should be thoroughly cleaned immediately after application.

Do not use silicone-based products with AzProp Select due to possible phytotoxicity.

If the spray-tank mixture is unsprayed for more than 18 hours (overnight), the re-suspend product with agitation for 20 minutes.

AzProp Select is compatible with many commonly used fungicides, liquid fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, and biological control products. If tank mixes are desired, observe all directions, precautions, and limitations on labeling of all products used.

Consult compatibility charts or your local or State turf authority for compatibility information. Do not combine AzProp Select in the spray tank with pesticides, surfactants, or fertilizers, unless compatibility charts or your own prior use has shown that the combination is physically compatible, effective, and non-injurious under your conditions of use. If physical compatibility is unknown, the following procedure should be followed. Pour the specified proportions of the products into a suitable container of water, mix thoroughly and allow to stand at least twenty (20) minutes, if the combination remains mixed or can be re-mixed readily, the mixture is considered physically compatible.

SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS

AzProp Select is recommended for control of certain pathogens causing foliar, stem, and root diseases, including leaf and stem blights, leaf spots, patch diseases, mildews, anthracnose, fairy rings, molds, and rusts of turfgrass plants. AzProp Select may be used to control certain diseases on turf in golf courses, lawns, and landscape areas around residential, institutional, public, commercial and industrial buildings, parks, recreational areas, and athletic fields.

Integrated Pest (Disease) Management (IPM): Sound turf management resulting in healthy, vigorous turf is the foundation of a good IPM program. Cultural practices such as proper choice of turf variety, nutrient management, proper cutting height, thatch management, and proper watering, drainage, and moisture stress management shall be integrated with the use of fungicides to increase turf vigor and reduce the susceptibility to disease. Immunoassay detection kits and extension service diagnostic services can assist in the early and accurate identification of causal organisms and corresponding selection of the proper fungicide when required.

Application Directions

AzProp Select must be applied prior to disease development. Mix AzProp Select with the required amount of water and apply as a dilute spray application in 2 - 4 gals. of water per 1,000 sq. ft. (87 - 174 gals./acre).

Apply AzProp Select at rates and timings as described in this label.

Repeat applications at specified intervals for as long as required. For spot treatments, use 1.5 fl. oz. AzProp Select per 1 - 2 gals. of water. Do not apply more than 8.1 gals. product per acre per year (23.75 fl. oz. product/1,000 sq. ft./year). Applications may be made by ground only.

For Use With Soil Injection Applications

AzProp Select may be applied through a liquid fungicide injector for the control of Ectotrophic root diseases including summer patch and take-all patch. Use AzProp Select only in liquid injection equipment specifically designated for pesticide use.

Apply AzProp Select at 1.5 - 3.0 fl. oz. per 1,000 sq. ft. Spray carrier volume should fall within 30 - 150 gals. of water per 1,000 sq. ft. Injection hole spacing of 1 inch by 1 inch is specified for optimum control. Injection depth must be no greater than 2 inches. One inch depth is specified for optimum results. The application must follow disease control strategies used for normal broadcast spray programs.

For Use in the Establishment of Turfgrass From Seed or in Overseeding of Dormant Turfgrass

AzProp Select may be used for control of certain turfgrass diseases associated with turfgrass establishment from seed. AzProp Select may also be used during overseeding of dormant turfgrass.

AzProp Select may be safely applied before or after seeding or at seedling germination and emergence to ryegrass, bentgrass, bluegrass, and fescue turfgrass types. Optimum application timing is during seeding. See Application Directions section.
