INTEGRATED PEST/DISEASE MANAGEMENT <br />This product provides excellent control of fungal diseases when used according to label directions for control of a broad spec- <br />trum of plant diseases. This product is recommended for use in programs that are compatible with the principals of Integrated <br />Pest Management (IPM), including the use of disease resistant crop varieties, cultural practices, pest scouting, and disease <br />forecasting systems which reduce unnecessary applications of pesticides. <br />RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT GUIDANCE <br />For resistance management, this product contains azoxystrobin, a Qol Group 11 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain <br />individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Qol Group 11 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may <br />occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance -management strategies <br />should be followed. <br />Fungal isolates with acquired resistance to Group 11 may eventually dominate the fungal population if Group 11 fungicides are <br />used repeatedly in the same field or in successive years as the primary method of control for targeted species. Cross resistance <br />has been shown between all members of the Qol fungicides. Since Qol fungicides are a high risk for resistance, this may result <br />in partial or total loss of control of those species. <br />To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: <br />• Rotate the use of (name of product) or other Group (mode of action group number) fungicides/bactericides within a growing <br />season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. <br />• Use tank mixtures with fungicide/bactericides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such <br />use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer. <br />• Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide/bactericide use that includes scouting, uses historical in- <br />formation related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental <br />conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. <br />• Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide/bactericide applications. Note that using <br />predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance. <br />• Monitor treated fungal/bacterial populations for resistance development. <br />Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance management and/or <br />IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. <br />Follow the crop specific resistance management guidance listed in the Crop Use Directions table. If resistance management <br />guidance is not specified in the Crop Use Directions table, then follow the guidance provided in the table below. <br />Total fungicide applications planned per crop <br />1 <br />2 <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br />7 <br />8 <br />9 <br />10 <br />11 <br />12 <br />Application of Qol fungicides applied alone <br />1 <br />1 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />3 <br />3 <br />3 <br />3 <br />4 <br />Application of Qol fungicides applied in <br />mixture (tank -mix or formulated) <br />1 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />2 <br />3 <br />3 <br />4 <br />4 <br />5 <br />5 <br />6 <br />
