Headline SC, a suspension concentrate (SC), containsthe active ingredient pyraclostrobin, a member of thestrobilurin class of chemistry derived from a naturalantifungal substance. Preventive applications optimize dis-ease control, resulting in improved plant health. Theincrease in plant health comes from the combined effect ofdisease control (including fungal diseases listed in Crop-specific directions), improved growth efficiency andimproved stress tolerance. Overall increased plant healthmay result in an improvement in crop growth and cropquality as well as increased crop yields.

Information regarding the contents and levels of metals inthis product is available on the Internet athttp://www.aapfco.org/metals.htm.

To maximize disease control, apply Headline SC in a reg-ularly scheduled protective spray program and use in arotation program with other fungicides.

Because of its high specific activity, Headline SC hasgood residual activity against target fungi.

Headline SC is not for use in greenhouse or transplantproduction.

Mode of Action

Pyraclostrobin, the active ingredient of Headline SC,belongs to the group of respiration inhibitors classified bythe US EPA and Canada PMRA as quinone outsideinhibitors (Qol) or target site of action Group 11fungicides.

Resistance Management

Headline SC is effective against pathogens resistant tofungicides with modes of action different from those of Qolfungicides (target site Group 11), such as dicarboximides,sterol inhibitors, benzimidazoles, or phenylamides.

Fungal isolates resistant to Group 11 fungicides, such aspyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, fluoxastrobin, trifloxystrobin,and kresoxim-methyl, can eventually dominate the fungalpopulation if Group 11 fungicides are used predominantlyand repeatedly in the same field in successive years as theprimary method of control for the targeted pathogenspecies. This can result in reduction of disease control byHeadline SC or other Group 11 fungicides.

DO NOT exceed the maximum seasonal use rate or thetotal number of Headline SC applications per season andthe maximum number of Headline SC applications statedin Restrictions and Limitations - All Crops andTable 2. Headline® SC fungicide Crop-specificRequirements. Follow the label instructions for use. ofHeadline SC or other target site of action Group 11fungicides that have a similar site of action on the samepathogens.

When using a Group 11 fungicide as a solo product, thenumber of applications should be no more than 1/3 of thetotal number of fungicide applications per season.

rest

In programs applying or using tank mixes or pre-mixes ofa Group 11 fungicide with a fungicide of another group,the number of Group 11 fungicide (Qol)-containing appli-cations must not be more than 1/2 of the total number offungicide applications per season. In programs applying orusing Group 11 fungicides with both solo products andmixtures, the number of Group 11 fungicide (Qol)-containing applications must not be more than 1/2 of thetotal number of fungicide applications per season.

In fungicide alternation programs of Group 11 (Qol)-containing fungicides with non-Group 11 fungicides ofdifferent modes of action, the maximum number ofsequential applications stated in Restrictions andLimitations - All Crops and Table 2. Headline8 SCfungicide Crop-specific Requirements must be alter-nated with at least an equal number of applications of anon-Group 11-containing fungicide prior to using theGroup 11 (Qol)-containing fungicide again. If two sequen-tial applications of a Group 11 (Qol)-containing fungicideare made, follow this block of applications with 2 or moreapplications of a non-Group 11-containing fungicide priorto using the Group 11 (Qol)-containing fungicide again.

Resistance Management AdvisoryThe following instructions may delay the development offungicide resistance:

1. Tank mixtures - Use tank mixtures with effective fungi-cides from different target site of action groups that areregistered/permitted for the same use and that are effec-tive against the pathogens of concern.

Use at least the minimum labeled rates of each fungicidein the tank mix.

2. IPM - Integrate Headline SC into an overall diseaseand pest management program. Follow cultural practicesknown to reduce disease development. Consult your localextension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or BASFrepresentative for additional IPM strategies established foryour area. Headline SC can be used in agricultural exten-sion advisory (disease forecasting) programs, whichrecommend application timing based on environmentalfactors favorable for disease development.

3. Monitoring - Monitor efficacy of all fungicides used inthe disease management program against the targetedpathogen and record other factors that may influencefungicide performance and/or disease development. If aGroup 11 target site fungicide, such as Headline SC,appears to be less effective against a pathogen that itpreviously controlled or suppressed, contact a BASF rep-resentative, local extension specialist, or certified cropadvisor for further investigation.


Apply Headline SC rates as instructed in Table 2. Crop-specific Requirements. Apply Headline SC with groundsprayer, aerial equipment, or through sprinkler irrigationequipment. Check equipment frequently for calibration.

For containers 5 gallons or less, shake well prior touse. For containers greater than 5 gallons, recircu-late prior to use. Consult BASF Representatives for addi-tional information regarding agitation and recirculation.

Under low-level disease conditions, use minimum applica-tion rates. For severe or threatening disease conditions,use maximum application rates and shortened sprayintervals.

Cleaning Spray Equipment

Spraying equipment must be cleaned thoroughly beforeand after applying this product, particularly if a productwith the potential to injure crops was used prior toHeadline SC.

Ground Application

Apply Headline SC in sufficient water to ensure thoroughcoverage of foliage, blooms, and fruit for optimum diseasecontrol. Refer to Additives and Tank MixingInformation section for adjuvant or crop oil restrictions forground applications in corn. See Table 2. Headline0 SCfungicide Crop-specific Requirements for infurrowinstructions.

Aerial Application

For aerial application in New York State, DO NOTapply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as,but not limited to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams,marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fishponds).

Unless otherwise specified in this label or in supplementallabeling, use no less than 5 gallons of spray solution peracre. For aerial application to citrus orchards, use no lessthan 10 gallons of spray solution per acre. DO NOT applywhen conditions favor drift from target area.

Aerial Application to Alfalfa, Barley, Corn,Oats, Rye, Soybean, Wheat and Triticale

Aerial applications of Headline SC can be made to corn,soybean, wheat and triticale in water volumes of 1 or moregallons of spray solution per acre (gpa). Aerial applicationsof Headline SC can be made to alfalfa, barley, oats andrye in water volumes of 2 or more gallons of spray solutionper acre (gpa). The use of a crop oil or adjuvant can beused to improve spray coverage (see Additives and TankMixing Information section). Refer to the adjuvantproduct label for specific use directions and restrictions.

For optimum results in high disease pressure, use aminimum spray volume of 4 gpa. Select spray nozzles,pumping pressure, and sprayer height to provide medium-to-fine spray droplets that penetrate throughout the cropcanopy. Spray calibration must be conducted to confirmspray droplet sizes. Continue to monitor spray application(including weather conditions) to ensure proper dropletsize and canopy penetration.

Spray volumes of 5 gallons or more per acre. Forapplications with spray volumes of 5 gallons or more per

acre, an adjuvant can be used to improve spray coverage(see Additives and Tank Mixing Information). Refer tothe adjuvant product label for specific use directions andrestrictions.

Select spray nozzles, pumping pressure, and sprayerheight to provide medium-to-fine spray droplets thatpenetrate throughout the crop canopy. Calibrate spray toconfirm spray droplet sizes. Monitor spray applicationincluding weather conditions to ensure proper droplet sizeand canopy penetration.

Spray Drift Management

DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond areaintended for application. Conditions that may contribute todrift include thermal inversion, wind speed and direction,spray nozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size,temperature/humidity, etc. Contact your state extensionagent for spray drift prevention guidelines in your area. Allaerial and ground application equipment must be properlymaintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers.Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsi-bility of the applicator.

Aerial Application Methods and EquipmentThe interaction of many equipment-related and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. Theapplicator and the grower are responsible for consideringall these factors when making decisions.

DO NOT apply under circumstances where possible driftto unprotected persons, to food, forage, or other plantingsthat might be damaged, or crops thereof rendered unfit forsale, use or consumption can occur.

DO NOT release spray at a height greater than 10 feetabove the crop canopy unless a greater height is requiredfor aircraft safety.

The following drift management requirements must befollowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerialapplications to agricultural field crops. These requirementsDO NOT apply to forestry applications, public health uses,or to applications using dry formulations.

1. The distance of the outermost nozzles on the boommust not exceed 3/4 the length of the fixed wingspan or90% of the rotor blade diameter.

2. Nozzles must always point backward parallel with theair stream and never be pointed downward more than45 degrees.

Where states have more stringent regulations, they mustbe observed.

The applicator must be familiar with and take into accountthe aerial drift reduction advisory information.

Information on Droplet SizeThe most effective way to reduce drift potential is to applylarge droplets. Use the largest droplet size consistent withacceptable efficacy. Applying larger droplets reduces driftpotential but will not prevent drift if applications are madeimproperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions

(see Wind; Temperature and Humidity; andTemperature Inversions).

Controlling droplet size:

• Volume - Use high flow rate nozzles to apply the highestpractical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flowsproduce larger droplets.

• Pressure - DO NOT exceed the nozzle manufacturer'srecommended pressures. For many nozzle types, lowerpressure produces larger droplets. When higher flowrates are needed, use higher flow rate nozzles instead ofincreasing pressure.

• Number of Nozzles - Use the minimum number of noz-zles that provide uniform coverage.

• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that the sprayis released parallel to the airstream produces largerdroplets than other orientations and is recommendedpractice. Significant deflection from the horizontal willreduce droplet size and increase drift potential.

• Nozzle Type - Use a nozzle type that is designed for theintended application. With most nozzle types, narrowerspray angles produce larger droplets. Consider usinglow-drift nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles oriented straightback produce the largest droplets and the lowest drift.

WindDO NOT apply at wind speeds greater than 15 mph. Driftpotential is lowest when wind speed does not exceed10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size andequipment type, determine drift potential at any givenspeed. Avoid applications below 2 mph due to variablewind direction and high inversion potential. Local terraincan influence wind patterns. Every applicator must befamiliar with local wind patterns and how they affect spraydrift.

Temperature and HumidityLow humidity and high temperatures increase the evapora-tion of spray droplets and, therefore, the likelihood ofincreased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions oflow humidity and/or high temperatures. When makingapplications in low relative humidity, set up equipment toproduce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation.Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions areboth hot and dry.

Temperature InversionsApplications must not occur during a temperature inver-sion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversionsrestrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspendeddroplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud canmove in unpredictable directions due to the light, variablewinds common during inversions.

Temperature inversions are characterized by increasingtemperatures with altitude and are common on nights withlimited cloud cover and light-to-no wind. They begin toform as the sun sets and often continue into the morning.Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, iffog is not present, inversions can also be identified by themovement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraftsmoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in

6

a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicatesan inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidlydissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.

Sensitive AreasThe pesticide should only be applied when the potentialfor drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g. bodies of water ornontarget crops) is minimal and when wind is blowingaway from the sensitive areas.

Directions For Use Through SprinklerIrrigation Systems

Chemical tank and injector system must be thoroughlycleaned. Flush system with clean water.

Application InstructionsApply Headline® SC fungicide at rates and timings spec-ified in this label.

Sprinkler Irrigation Applications Use Precautions

• Apply this product only through sprinkler irrigation sys-tems including center pivot, lateral move, end tow, side(wheel) roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand move irri-gation systems. DO NOT apply this product through anyother type of irrigation system.

• Add this product to the pesticide supply tank containingsufficient water to maintain a continuous flow by theinjection equipment. In continuous moving systems,inject this product/water mixture continuously, applyingthe labeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT exceed1/2 inch (13,577 gallons) per acre. In stationary or non-continuous moving systems, inject the product/watermixture in the last 15 to 30 minutes of each set allowingsufficient time for all of the required pesticide to beapplied by all the sprinkler heads and applying thelabeled rate per acre for that crop. DO NOT apply whenwind speed favors drift beyond the area intended fortreatment. Crop injury, lack of effectiveness, or illegalpesticide residues in the crop can result from non-uniform distribution of treated water. Thorough coverageof foliage is required for good control. Maintain agitationduring the entire application period.

• Contact state extension service specialists, equipmentmanufacturers, or other experts for calibration questions.

• The system must contain a functional check valve,vacuum-relief valve, and low-pressure drain appropriatelylocated on the irrigation pipeline to prevent water-sourcecontamination from backflow.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,automatic, quick-closing check valve to prevent the flowof fluid back toward the injection pump.

• The pesticide injection pipeline must also contain a func-tional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valve locatedon the intake side of the injection pump and connectedto the system interlock to prevent fluid from being with-

drawn from the supply tank when the irrigation system iseither automatically or manually shut down.

• The system must contain functional interlocking controlsto automatically shut off the pesticide-injection pumpwhen the water pump motor stops.

• The irrigation line or water pump must include a func-tional pressure switch that will stop the water pumpmotor when the water pressure decreases to the pointwhere pesticide distribution is adversely affected.

• Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positivedisplacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump),effectively designed and constructed of materials that arecompatible with pesticides and capable of being fittedwith a system interlock.

• Allow sufficient time for pesticide to be flushed through alllines and all nozzles before turning off irrigation water. Aperson knowledgeable of the chemigation system andresponsible for its operation, or under supervision of theresponsible person, shall shut the system down andmake necessary adjustments should the need arise.

• DO NOT connect an irrigation system (including green-house systems) used for pesticide application to a. publicwater system unless the pesticide label-prescribed safetydevices for public water systems are in place.

Specific Instructions for Public WaterSystems

1. Public water system means a system for the provisionto the public of piped water for human consumption ifsuch system has at least 15 service connections or reg-ularly serves an average of at least 25 individuals dailyat least 60 days out of the year.

2. Chemigation systems connected to public water sys-tems must contain a functional, reduced-pressure zone,back-flow preventer (RPZ) or the functional equivalent inthe water supply line upstream from the point of pesti-cide introduction. As an option to the RPZ, the waterfrom the public water system must be discharged into areservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. There shallbe a complete physical break (air gap) between the out-let end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rim of thereservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameter of thefill pipe.

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain afunctional, automatic, quick-closing check valve to pre-vent the flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

4. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain afunctional, normally closed, solenoid-operated valvelocated on the intake side of the injection pump andconnected to the system interlock to prevent fluid frombeing withdrawn from the supply tank when the irriga-tion system is either automatically or manually shutdown.

5. The system must contain functional interlocking controlsto automatically shut off the pesticide injection pumpwhen the water pump motor stops, or in cases wherethere is no water pump, when the water pressure

decreases to the point where pesticide distribution isadversely affected.

6. Systems must use a metering pump, such as a positivedisplacement injection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump),effectively designed and constructed of materials thatare compatible with pesticides and capable of being fit-ted with a system interlock.

Additives and Tank Mixing Information

Headline1" SC fungicide can be tank mixed with mostrecommended fungicides, insecticides, herbicides, liquidfertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants, and addi-tives as specified in Table 2. Headline"' SC fungicideCrop-specific Requirements.

Under some conditions, the use of additives or adjuvantsmay improve the performance of Headline SC. However,all varieties and cultivars have not been tested with possibletank mix combinations. Local conditions can also influencecrop tolerance and may not match those under whichBASF has conducted testing. Physical incompatibility,reduced disease control, or crop injury can result from mix-ing Headline SC with other products. Therefore, beforeusing any tank mix (fungicides, insecticides, herbicides,liquid fertilizers, biological control products, adjuvants andadditives), test the combination on a small portion of thecrop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response willnot occur as a result of application. Follow the most restric-tive label.

Adjuvant or Crop Oil Use Limitations onCorn (ground and aerial applications)Adjuvant crop damage can occur when an adjuvant orcrop oil is used after the V8 stage and before the VT stage(the VT stage is defined as when the tassel's last branch iscompletely visible outside the whorl). If an adjuvant or cropoil is used after the V8 stage and before the VT stage, thegrower and user are responsible for contacting the adju-vant source (adjuvant distributor, retailer, or manufacturer)for advice and confirmation that the adjuvant has beentested and proven to be safe for application from V8 to VTcorn stage. Refer to adjuvant and/or crop oil labels forspecific use directions and restrictions. Always follow themost restrictive label.

Another fungicide or an insecticide may be included in thetank mix if needed and labeled for use on corn. Refer tothe tank mix pesticide product labels for specific use direc-tions and restrictions. Always follow the most restrictivelabel.

Mixing Order

1. Water - Agitate a thoroughly clean sprayer tank 3/4 fullof clean water.

2. Agitation - Maintain constant agitation throughout mix-ing and application.

3. Inductor - If an inductor is used, rinse it thoroughlyafter each component has been added.

4. Products in PVA bags - Place any product containedin water-soluble PVA bags into the mixing tank. Wait

until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dissolved andthe product is evenly mixed in the spray tank beforecontinuing.

5. Water-dispersible products (such as Headline SC,dry flowables, wettable powders, suspension concen-trates, or suspo-emulsions) - For containers 5 gallonsor less, shake well prior to use. For containersgreater than 5 gallons, recirculate prior to use.Consult BASF Representatives for additional informationregarding agitation and recirculation.

6. Water-soluble products7. Emulsifiable concentrates (such as oil concentrates

when applicable)8. Water-soluble additives (such as ammonium sulfate

[AMS] or urea ammonium nitrate [DAN] when applicable)9. Remaining quantity of water

Make sure each component is thoroughly mixed andsuspended before adding tank mix partners. Maintainconstant agitation during application. See Table 2.Headline® SC fungicide Crop-specific Requirementsfor more details.

Restrictions and Limitations - All Crops

• DO NOT exceed the maximum product rate (fl ozs/A)per year (season), the maximum rate per application, orthe total number of applications of Headline SC peryear (season) as stated in Table 1. Headline"1 SC fungi-cide Restrictions and Limitations Overview andTable 2. Headline0 SC fungicide Crop-specificRequirements. Preharvest interval (PHI) restrictions arealso included in these tables.

• DO NOT use Headline SC in greenhouse or transplantproduction.

• For aerial application in New York State, DO NOTapply within 100 feet of aquatic habitats (such as,but not limited to lakes, reservoirs, rivers, streams,marshes, ponds, estuaries, and commercial fishponds).

Crop Rotation Restriction

Crops listed on the Headline SC, Cabrio® EG fungicideand Pristine® fungicide labels may be planted immedi-ately following the last application. For all other crops,DO NOT plant sooner than 14 days after the last appli-cation.

Ground Application Directed or BandedSpraysThe application rates shown in the following tables pertainto both aerial and ground (broadcast) methods of applica-tion. Headline SC may also be applied as a directed orbanded spray over the rows or plant beds with alleys orrow middles left unsprayed. For such uses, reduce theHeadline SC rate in proportion to the area actuallysprayed. This adjustment is necessary to prevent applyingthe product at use rates higher than permitted on thislabel.

Use the following formula to determine the broadcastequivalent rate for directed or banded sprays:

sprayed bed width + unsprayed row middles = total row width

sprayed bed width in inches y broadcast rate band ratetotal row width in inches treated acre ~ field acre

EXAMPLE: Directed spray application to 45-inch plantbeds separated by 15-inch unsprayed row-middles at a12 fl ozs/A label broadcast rate:

Application Directions. Begin Headline SC applications prior to disease development. To maximize yields in cere-als, protect the flag leaf. Apply Headline SC immediately after flag-leaf emergence for optimum results.

Headline SC does not control Fusarium head blight (head scab) or prevent the reductions in grain quality that canresult from this disease. When head blight is a concern, manage this disease with fungicides that are labeled for andeffective in managing this disease, and with cultural practices like crop rotation and plowing to reduce crop residuesthat serve as an inoculum source.



DO NOT harvest barley hay or feed green-chopped barley within 14 days of last application.

*For early season control of net blotch, Septoria leaf and glume blotch, spot blotch, and tan spot when conditionsfavor disease development, apply 3 to 6 fl ozs per acre of Headline SC either in combination with a herbicide appli-cation or when conditions favor disease development. When the 3 to 6 fl ozs early season application rate is used, asecond application of Headline SC may be required to protect the emerged flag leaf. Environmental conditions fordisease or current disease pressure at the time of flag-leaf emergence should be used to determine the HeadlineSC rate for the second application. For high disease pressure, use the higher rate of Headline SC. Early seasoncontrol is not registered for use in California.

Application Directions. Begin Headline SC applications prior to disease development and continue on a 7- to14-day interval if conditions are favorable for disease development.

Use the higher rate and shorter interval when disease pressure is high. Under high disease pressure for Northern cornleaf blight and Southern corn leaf blight, apply 9 to 12 fl ozs per acre.

Headline SC can be used with adjuvants in corn. See Additives and Tank Mixing Information and Mixing Ordersections for more details. -


Resistance Management. To limit development of resistance, DO NOT apply more than 1.18 Ibs ai pyraclostrobin(72 fl ozs of Headline SC) per acre per season.

In field corn, DO NOT make more than two (2) Headline SC applications per season.

DO NOT make more than two (2) sequential Headline SC applications before alternating to a labeled non-Group 11fungicide with a different mode of action. If more than two (2) Headline SC applications are made in a multiple sprayprogram, alternate each subsequent Headline SC application with at least one (1) application of a non-Group 11fungicide.

*The maximum product rate, per season includes the combination of infurrow and foliar uses.

"The use rate in California is 9 to 12 fl ozs per acre.

Application Directions. Begin Headline SC applications prior to disease development. To maximize yields in cereals,protect the flag leaf. Apply Headline SC immediately after flag-leaf emergence for optimum results.

Headline SC does not control Fusarium head blight (head scab) or prevent reductions in grain quality that can resultfrom this disease. When head blight is a concern, manage this disease with fungicides that are labeled for and effectivein managing this disease, and with cultural practices like crop rotation and plowing to reduce crop residues that serveas an inoculum source.
