Stature SC Fungicide

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

Fill the spray tank until it is approximately 1/2 full with clean water. Shake the Stature SC container well; then slowly add Stature SC to the spray tank while agitating. Agitation must be engaged prior to the addition of the product to obtain a complete and uniform mixture of Stature SC.

Limit amount of spray mixture prepared to that needed for immediate use.

Mixing Order:

1. Water. Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayer tank half-full of clean water.
2. Products in PVA bags. Place the water-soluble PVA bag into the mixing tank. The water-soluble PVA bag will dissolve in water to allow the contents to disperse. Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved and the product is evenly mixed in the spray tank before continuing.
3. Water-dispersible products (wettable powders, dry flowables, suspension concentrates (including Stature SC), or suspo-emulsions)
4. Water-soluble products
5. Emulsifiable concentrates (oil concentrate or methylated seed oil when applicable)
6. Water-soluble additives (ammonium sulfate or urea ammonium nitrate when applicable)
7. Remaining quantity water. Maintain maximum constant agitation during application. Thorough agitation is required if the mixture is allowed to stand for a prolonged period of time.

PREPARATION OF SPRAY/DRENCH SOLUTION:

Read COMPATIBILITY OF MIXTURES section prior to any tank mixing with this product. Begin with clean equipment. Fill the spray tank until it is approximately 1/2 full with clean water. Add Stature SC to the spray tank while agitating. Agitation must be engaged prior to the addition of the product to obtain a complete and uniform mixture of Stature SC. Add other fungicides, insecticides, growth regulators, micronutrients, and spray adjuvants in the order described above. Once mixing is complete, add water to desired volume. DO NOT allow the spray/drench mixture to stand without agitation. If agitation is stopped for any reason, the solution must be thoroughly remixed prior to any further use.

When preparing spray solutions for use in a hand sprayer, premix as a slurry in a small container, and then add to sprayer containing 1/3 to 1/2 the desired final water volume and agitate. Once mixing is complete, add water to desired volume.

Disease pressure and environmental conditions will determine the length of the application interval. Under severe or threatening disease conditions, the minimum interval should be used.

For proper application, determine the number of square feet to be treated and the gallonage to be applied per 1000 square feet. Prepare only the amount of spray solution required to treat the measured area. Careful calibration of spray equipment is recommended prior to use. If you have questions about calibration, you should contact State Extension Service Specialist or Horticultural Consultant, equipment manufacturers or other experts.

Prepare only the amount of spray or drench solution needed to treat the area to be sprayed or drenched. Thorough coverage is essential for disease control.

Maintain agitation during mixing and application. Applications should be made immediately after the spray or drench solution is prepared. DO NOT allow the spray or drench mixture to stand without agitation. If agitation is stopped for any reason, the solution must be thorough remixed prior to any further use.

Rainfall or overhead irrigation within 1 hour of application may necessitate retreatment.

Tank Mixes With Fungicides:

Stature SC can be used in a tank mix with fungicides registered for control of downy mildews and Phytophthora spp. for resistance management or to expand spectrum of disease control. Potential tank mix partner fungicides include, but are not limited to, Aliette WDG fungicide, Banol fungicide, Cygnus fungicide, Insignia fungicide, or Subdue Maxx fungicide. Refer to the respective tank mix partner labeling for rates, methods of applications, proper timing, restrictions and precautions. Always use in accordance with the more restrictive label restrictions and precautions. No label dosage rates can be exceeded. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition.

Fungicide application should be made at the recommended label use rate and spray schedule, at the first sign of disease or during environmental conditions favorable for disease development. Follow resistance management guidelines for the total number of consecutive applications of Stature SC allowed.
