Rates by Diseases
P t t i d d t th t t di
Rates by Diseases
Pageant use rate is dependent upon the target diseases and or conditions favorable to disease
B t U d A P t tiBest Used As PreventativeUse rate is 4-18 oz./100 gallons for foliar and crown pathogens
Drench rate is 12-18 for soilborne diseases
Use rate for dip treatments for ornamental bulbs is 23-35 oz./100 gallonsgallons
Do not exceed 7.3 lbs. (118 oz.) per use site per year

Initium®Initium(BAS 650F)
An innovative fungicideof a new chemical class
for the control of oomycetes
Initium is not registered by the US EPA and is not available for sale. This presentation is for informational purposes only and is not intended to promote the sale of the product. Any sale p p y p p yof this product after registration is obtained shall be solely on the basis of the EPA-approved product label, and any claims regarding product safety and efficacy shall be addressed solely by the label.

A New Choice In Resistance Management
Initium® displays no cross-resistance to fungicide classes of
phenylamides (e.g. metalaxyl)
Qo inhibitors (e g strobilurins)Qo inhibitors (e.g. strobilurins)
carboxylic acid amides (e.g. dimethomorph)
b i id l SDH i hibit t i l d i id lbenzimidazoles, SDH inhibitors, triazoles and imidazoles
As a pro-active measure, Initium will be marketed only as ready mixes inp , y y
combination with other fungicidal active ingredients of a different mode ofaction. The partners will complement the activity spectrum and deliver
built-in resistance management for Initium and vice versa.

In Summary: Di th id P 2009Dimethenamid-P 2009
BASF combined with IR-4 approximately 30 more woody speciesBASF combined with IR-4 approximately 30 more woody species will be added to FreeHand label for 2010.
FreeHand on perennials: label to list approx. 10 more species
FreeHand uses on annuals will need more trials. May be differences in landscape and in container production.
Tower label to allow Over-The-Top container and field applications
Tower additional woody species approx. 10-20 (trials in 2009)
Not enough information on perennials at this time. Priority could be for safety in landscape
2009 IR-4 Meeting
Both labels will identify plants where no safety was observed= risk high

IR-4 has worked with this active ingredient for 30 yearsIR-4 has worked with this active ingredient for 30 years
The ornamental and turf uses are sold by BASF Turf and OrnamentalsOrnamentals
IR-4 has identified 27 additional species that can be registered for Over-the-Top applications with possible single application p pp p g pprestriction to some.
To get label into EPA this fall for uses sometime in 2010 as supplemental.
