)
GENERAL USE PRECAUTIONS
Do not plant the following crops for a period of 12 months (unless an azoxystrobin product is
registered for use on that crop): sorghum, barley, buckwheat, millet, oats, rye, wild rice, non-grass
animal feeds (alfalfa, clover), triticale and wheat. A plantback interval (PBI) of 36 days is required
for Leafy Vegetables (except brassica) group; Brassica, Leafy Greens subgroup; Vegetables, Root sub
group; Vegetable (Tuberous and Corm) subgroup; and Vegetables, Leaves of Root and Tuber group.
Azoxystrobin is registered for use on all other rotated crops and all other crops may be planted immec
dia~ely after the last treatment.
Do not use for disease control in food crops grown in greenhouses. Use for disease control in green
houses for non-agricultural uses on grass, turf or ornamental plants (listed on this label) are permitted.
GENERAL INFORMATION
Diploma is a broad spectrum, preventative fungicide with systemic and curative properties recom
mended for the control of many important plant diseases. Diploma may be applied as a foliar spray
in alternating spray programs or in tank mixes with other registered crop protection products. All
applications must be made according to the use directions that follow.
Restrictions
Do not use for disease control in food crops or tobacco grown in greenhouses.
GENERAL USE INSTRUCTIONS .
Application: Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control. Make no more spray
solution than is needed for application. Avoid spray overlap, as crop injury may occur.
Adjuvants: When an adjuvant is to be used with this product, the use of an adjuvant that meets the
standards of the Chemical Producers and Distributors Association (CPDA) adjuvant certification is
recommended.
Efficacy: Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, use another registered
fungicide for additional applications if maximum amount of Diploma has been used. If resistant
isolates to Group 11 fungicides are present, efficacy can be reduced for certain diseases. The higher
rates in the rate range and/or shorter spray intervals may be required under conditions of heavy
infecti9n pressure, with highly susceptible varieties, or when environmental conditions are conducive
to disease.
INTEGRATED PEST (DISEASE) MANAGEMENT
Diploma 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. This should include selection of varieties with disease tolerance, removal of plant debris
in which inoculum overwinters, and proper timing and placement of irrigation. Consult your local
agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established for your area. Diploma may be used
in State Agricultural Extension advisory (disease forecasting) programs which recommend application
timing based on environmental factors favorable for disease development.
010f lo3·
Crop Tolerance: Plant tolerance has been found to be acceptable for all crops on the label, however,
not all possible tank-mix combinations have been tested under all conditions. When possible, it is
recommended to test the co.mbinations on a small portion of the crop to ensure that a phytotoxic
response will not occur as a result of application. See precautions regarding apple phytotoxicity.
Spray Drift Management: To avoid spray drift, do not apply when conditions favor drift beyond the
target area. The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential
for spray drift. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE APPLICATION SITE IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
APPLICATOR AND THE GROWER. More information on managing spray drift can be found on the
SYNGENTA CROP PROTECTION website under Stewardship (http://www.syngentacropprotection-us.
com/enviro/driftmanagementlindex.asp?nav=drift_management.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
I III I
GROUP FUNGICIDE
Diploma (azoxystrobin) is a Group 11 fungicide. The mode of action for Diploma is the inhibition
of the Qo (quinone outside) site within the electron transport system [Group 11]. Fungal pathogens
can develop resistance to products with the same mode of action when used repeatedly. Because
resistance development cannot be predicted, use of this product should conform to resistance
management strategies established for the crop and use area. Consult your local or State agricul
tural authorities for resistance management strategies that are complementary to those in this label.
Resistance management strategies may include alternating and/or tank-mixing with products having
different modes of action or limiting the total number of applications per season. Syngenta encour
ages responsible resistance management to ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases
on this label.
Follow the crop specific resistance management recommendations in the directions for use.
If no resistance recommendation on number of applications is specified in the directions for use,
follow the recommendations in the table below. '
If planned 'total number of fungicide
1 2 3 4 5 ,6 ,7 8 9 10 11 1_2
applications per crop is:
Recommended Solo Qol fungicide sprays 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 ,3 3 4
Recommended Qol fungicide sprays in
1 2 2 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6
mixture (tank-mix or formulated)
In situations requiring multiple sprays, develop season long spray programs for Group 11 (Qol)
fungicides. In crops where two sequential Group 11 fungicide applications are made, they should
be alternated with two or more applications of a fungicide that is not in Group 11. If more than 12
applications are made, observe the following guidelines:
• When using a Qol fungicide as a solo product, the number of applications must be no more than
'/3 (33%) of the total number of fungicide applications per season.
• For Qol mixes in programs in which tank mixes or premixes of Qol with mixing partners of a dif
ferent mode of action are utilized, the number of Qol containing applications must be no more
than '12 (50%) of the total number of fungicide applications per season .
• In programs in which applications of Qol are made with both solo products and mixtures, the
number of Qol containing applications must be no more than '12 (50%) of the total number of
fungicide applications per season.
at
)0 to~
)
.
If a Group 11 fungicide is applied to the seed or soil, do not make another application with a Group
11 fungicide for at least 3 weeks.
SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
ATTENTION
DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond area intended for application. Conditions which
may contribute to drift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction, sprayer nozzle/pressure
combinations, spray droplet size, etc. Contact your State extension agent for spray drift prevention
guidelines in your area.
AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
Diploma 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.
Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from treated areas to non-target aquatic habitat.
MIXING AND APPLICATION METHODS
Spray Equipment
Diploma may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making ground and
aerial applications. Proper adjustments and calibration of spraying equipment to give good canopy
penetration and coverage is essential for good disease control.
Nozzles
• Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application.
• Nozzles should be the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom.
• Calibrate sprayer before use.
• It is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles from clogging.
• Screens placed on the suction side of the pump should be 16-mesh or coarser.
• Do not place a screen in the recirculation Ii·ne.
• Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required, at the nozzles.
• Check nozzle manufacturer's recommendations.
Pump
• Use a pump with capacity to:
(1) Maintain 35-40 psi at nozzles
(2) Provide sufficient agitation in tank to keep mixture in suspension -this requires recirculation of
10% of tank volume per minute.
• Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation.
• Do not air sparge.
