Subdue GR Granular Fungicide

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Ornamentals:

• Soil and Growing Media Surface Application: When applying Subdue GR to the soil surface, irrigate with enough water to completely wet the root zone after application. Do not exceed specified rates or apply more frequently than directed, or plant injury may occur.

Citrus in Nurseries (Nonbearing):

• Use Subdue GR on nonbearing citrus for control of citrus foot rot, root rot, and trunk canker caused by Phytophthora spp. Apply to the soil surface as a broadcast application under the canopy of the trees. For best efficacy, 1/2 inch of irrigation or rainfall is required within 24 hours after application. For banded applications, use the formula in the Product Information section of the label to calculate the amount of Subdue GR needed per acre of trees. Make the first application of Subdue GR at the time of planting and make 2 additional applications at 3-month intervals throughout the growing season. Apply 200 lbs./A as a soil surface application broadcast or banded to the seedbeds, liners, or bedded stock. For banded applications, use a band wide enough to cover the root systems of the plants. Calculate the amount of Subdue GR needed for a banded treatment by using the formula in the Product Information section of the label.

Note: Do not use in greenhouse citrus nursery stock intended for commercial fruit production.

Conifers in Nurseries and Plantations (Including Christmas Trees):

• Subdue GR provides control of Phytophthora root rot of conifers. For best efficacy, 1/2 inch of irrigation or rainfall is required within 24 hours after application.
• Seedbeds and Plug-Plantings:
  • Soil Surface Application: Uniformly apply 6-30 lbs./A (2.2-11 oz./1,000 sq. ft.) in the spring and again in the fall.
• 2-0 Transplants:
  • Soil Surface Application: Uniformly apply 12-60 lbs./A (4.4-22 oz./1,000 sq. ft.) in the spring and again in the fall.

Deciduous Fruits and Nuts in Nurseries (Nonbearing):

• Subdue GR provides control of Pythium root rot and Phytophthora root, crown, and collar rot of nonbearing deciduous fruits and nuts. Make the first application of Subdue GR at the time of planting. Additional applications should be made at 3-month intervals throughout the growing season. For best efficacy, 1/2 inch of irrigation or rainfall is required within 24 hours after application. Soil Surface Application: Apply 200-400 lbs. per treated acre (4.75-9.25 lbs./1,000 sq. ft.) uniformly to the soil surface under the canopy of the trees. Treat sufficient surface area in nurseries to cover the root zone of the trees. Use the high rate in areas known to be infested with Phytophthora.

Note: Do not apply to trees that will bear harvestable fruit within 12 months of application, or illegal residues may result.

Turf:

• Subdue GR controls Pythium blight, Pythium damping-off and yellow tuft (downy mildew) in turfgrasses. Within the rate range given for turf, use the lower rate for the shortest interval listed and the higher rate for the longest interval. Under severe disease conditions, use the highest rate and shortest interval.
