FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS
AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE
CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
Notes:
Apply in sufficient water to ensure adequate coverage using a minimum
of 20 gallons of water per acre. If downy mildew is present in the
production area, the first application should be made in tank mixture
with another registered downy mildew fungicide; once activated,
the supplemental applications of Actigard 50WG should be applied
alone.
Notes:
1. Allow 7 days between the last application and harvest.
2. Do not make more than 4 applications per crop per year.
3. Do not apply more than 4 ounces of Actigard 50WG per acre per
season.
Actigard 50WG is a selective, systemic compound used for the control
of downy mildew of cole crops and leafy vegetables, bacterial leaf
spots of tomato, and blue mold of tobacco. Actigard 50WG is an inducer
of host plant resistance. Actigard 50WG exhibits a unique mode of
action which mimics the natural systemic activated resistance (SAR)
response found in most plant species. Actigard 50WG has no direct
activity against target pathogens.
For best performance, always follow
these directions:
**Actigard 50WG should be applied to plant foliage preventively,
before disease is observed in the field.
**Actigard 50WG moves systemically within the plant; however uniform
spray coverage is essential for best performance. Apply Actigard
50WG in sufficient water to ensure uniform coverage (see specific
water volumes for each crop in Directions for Use tables).
**An Actigard 50WG application mimics the SAR response in plants.
Maximum disease control is normally obtained 4 days after an Actigard
50WG application.
Actigard 50WG provides protection against certain diseases in the
crops listed on this label. Actigard 50WG provides sufficient protection
to reduce disease levels but should be tank mixed with other registered
products with curative activity if disease is present at the time
of application, to ensure adequate disease control or to broaden
the spectrum of disease control.
Resistance Management
Actigard 50WG exhibits a mode of action unique from currently available
fungicides and bactericides. Since Actigard 50WG has no direct activity
on plant pathogens, the likelihood of pathogen development of insensitivity
is low. However, plant pathogens are known to develop tolerance
to host plant resistance and to products used repeatedly for control.
Because insensitivity development cannot be fully predicted, the
use of this product should conform to sensitivity management strategies
established for the crop and use area. Such strategies may include
rotating and/or tank mixing with products with different modes of
action as well as the use of good cultural practices. Consult your
local pest control advisor or extension office for details. If insensitivity
to this product develops in your area, this product or other products
with a similar mode of action may not provide adequate control.
If you experience difficulty with control, and insensitivity is
a likely cause, consult your local Syngenta Crop Protection representative,
local agricultural extension office, or pest control advisor for
the best alternative method of control. Syngenta encourages responsible
product stewardship to ensure effective long-term disease control.
