DO NOT APPLY BY AIR.
Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide can be used effectively in dilute spray. Thorough,
uniform coverage is essential for disease control.
NOTE: Slowly invert container several times to assure uniform mixture.
Dosage rates on this label indicate litres of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide per
hectare, unless otherwise stated. Under conditions which favour disease development the
shortest application interval should be used.
The required amount of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide should be added slowly into
the spray tank during filling. Keep agitator running when filling spray tank and during
spray operations.
Rotational Crop Restrictions
Areas treated with Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide may be replanted with potatoes
and dry shelled beans as soon as practical after the last application. Other root crops and
leafy vegetables can be planted 30 days after the last application. All other crops can be
planted 70 days after the last application.

Integrated Pest Management
Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide is an excellent disease control agent when used
according to label directions for control of late blight of potato. Allegro 500F
Agricultural Fungicide is recommended for use as part of an Integrated Pest Management
(IPM) program, which may include the use of disease resistant potato varieties, cultural
practices, biological control agents, pest scouting and disease forecasting systems aimed
at preventing economic pest damage. Practices known to reduce disease development
should be followed. Consult your provincial agricultural authorities for additional IPM
strategies established in your area. Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide may be used in
disease forecasting programs, which recommend application timing based on
environmental factors that favour disease development.

classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
DO NOT apply by air.
Buffer zones:
Use of the following spray methods or equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone: hand-
held or backpack sprayer and spot treatment.
The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct
application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as
grasslands, forested areas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and
shrublands), sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie
potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands) and estuarine/marine

wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured outside of the
treatment area on the upwind side.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
(Continued)
Buffer zones (metres) Required for the Protection of: *For field sprayer application, buffer zones can be reduced with the use of drift reducing spray shields. When using a spray boom fitted with a full shield (shroud, curtain) that extends to the crop canopy, the labelled buffer zone can be reduced by 70%. When using a spray boom where individual nozzles are fitted with cone-shaped shields that are no more than 30 cm above the crop canopy, the labelled buffer zone can be reduced by 30%.

Spray volume: minimum of 1000 liters per hectare. Maximum of 9 applications per year. No more than 3 sequential applications of Allegro 500F before alternating to another fungicide belonging to a different chemical family. Allegro 500F should be applied as a broadcast spray on a preventative basis. For apple scab control, begin applications at green tip or when conditions are favorable for primary scab development. All subsequent applications are to be made at 7 to 14-day intervals. The higher rate and shortest intervals should be used for more susceptible varieties and/or heavy disease pressure. For control of flyspeck and sooty blotch, begin applications before disease occurs and continue on a 7- to 14-day schedule. Use the higher rate and shorter interval when disease pressure is high. When Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide is used as directed to control listed disease in apples, suppression of European red mite, apple rust mite and two-spotted spider mite present at the time can be expected. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated apples to perform thinning activities during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 3 days. For Control of:

Resistance Management Recommendations

For resistance management, please note that Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide
contains fluazinam, a Group 29 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain
individuals naturally resistant to this product and other Group 29 fungicides. The
resistance biotypes may dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used
repeatedly in the same field. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of
action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also
exist. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance:

For resistance management, please note that Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide
contains a Group 29 fungicide which is considered to have a low risk of resistance
development. However, as a general principle, it is recommended not to rely exclusively
on the same product for pest control. To prolong effectiveness of this product, the
following resistance management strategies should be followed:
•
Do not make more than three consecutive sprays of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide or other Group 29 fungicides in a block sequence before switching to a fungicide with a different mode of action. Several three-application blocks of Allegro 500F Agricultural Fungicide may be applied in a season if separated by applications of fungicides with a different mode of action. Fungicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. Monitor efficiency of all fungicides used in the disease management program and record other factors that may influence fungicide performance and/or disease development. If this product appears to be no longer effective against a pathogen which it previously controlled or suppressed, contact the manufacturer and your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor to assist in determining the cause of reduced performance. Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. For further information and to report suspected resistance, contact Mark Gelin at 1-440-357-4644 Outside Canada (Long distance charges apply) or at [email protected]. PRECAUTIONS
