`
`2. You are required to submit to the Agency the following studies by the dates indicated below.
`
`a. Acute oral toxicity to larval honey bees.
`b. Chronic oral toxicity to larval honey bees.
`c. Chronic oral toxicity to adult honey bees.
`
`Protocols for both of the chronic bee studies must be submitted within 60 days of the
`registration. The deadline for you to submit each of the bee studies is 09/01/18.
`
`Tier II studies are required if triggered by the Tier I studies listed above. In the event Tier III
`studies are triggered by the Tier II results, they will also be required. If any higher tier
`studies are necessary, you must submit them to EPA within 3 years of notification by the
`agency that such higher tier studies are required.
`
`d. A controlled water monitoring study to provide further data on the environmental fate of
`benzovindiflupyr in the aquatic environment must be submitted to the Agency. A protocol
`must be submitted within 90 days of the registration. A preliminary report must be submitted
`by 12/31/16. An updated report must be submitted by 12/31/17. The completed study must
`be submitted by 09/01/18. If the EPA does not respond to the submitted protocol within
`sixty (60) days of receipt, EPA and the Registrant will discuss and agree to reasonable
`extensions of the dates for submission of the preliminary report and study.
`
`e. Field study to determine the effectiveness of vegetative filter strips (VFS). The study should
`address effectiveness relative to run-off reduction, sediment transport rates and delivery
`totals of benzovindiflupyr in water bodies. A protocol must be submitted within 90 days of
`the registration. A preliminary report must be submitted by 12/31/16. The deadline for you to
`submit the study is 09/01/18. If the EPA does not respond to the submitted protocol within
`sixty (60) days of receipt, EPA and the Registrant will discuss and agree to reasonable
`extensions of the dates for submission of the preliminary report and study.
`
`f. Based on the EPA’s review of the results of the studies in pagragraphs d. and e., EPA may
`determine either that the study described in paragraph d. must be extended or that other
`studies or monitoring are needed in order to allow the Agency to continue to conclude that
`benzovindiflupyr does not pose unreasonable adverse effects on the environment insofar as
`aquatic risk are concerned as per the agreement letter of August 28, 2015.
`
`g. In addition to the VFS study, the registrant within one hundred and twenty (120) days of
`registration must submit plans for an educational program on VFS. The program will start in
`2015. It will include educational resources on best practices for construction and
`maintenance of filter strips and information on the effectiveness of vegetative filter strips as
`related to their size. The educational resources will be focused on use by landowners and
`those leasing land. The resources may be generic (not chemical or product-specific) and will
`be developed in collaboration with partners in the Extension, University, State Lead Agency,
`and other education communities to meet State and local needs. Copies of all educational
`materials must be submitted to the Agency. Additionally, status reports on the materials’
`
`

`

`Decision No. 473381
`
`creation, distribution efforts, and any public feedback resulting from trainings/dissemination
`of the materials are required.
`
`h. An additional chronic (42-d) sediment toxicity study with the freshwater amphipod, Hyalella
`azteca. A protocol must be submitted within ninety (90) days of the issuance of the
`registration. The deadline for the study is 09/01/17.
`
`If the EPA determines, based on the data submitted pursuant to the conditions in the Notice or on any
`other data or other information received by the Agency, that one or more label revisions are required to
`prevent unreasonable adverse effects on the environment insofar as aquatic risks are concerned, EPA
`may notify the Registrant of the Agency’s determination that identified revisions to the label are
`necessary as per the agreement letter from the Registrant dated August 28, 2015. If labels revisions are
`necessary to mitigate adverse effects, you must incorporate all revisions identified by the Agency and
`submit for approval a revised label within sixty (60) days of the Agency’s notification to you of the need
`for such a revised label. In the event of such a revision, product may not be released for shipment under
`the terms of this registration more than twelve (12) months after the Agency approves such a revised
`label unless the product bears the appropriate revised label.
`
`3. Make the following label changes before you release the product for shipment:
`
` Revise the EPA Registration Number to read, “EPA Reg. No. 100-1480.”
`
`4. Submit one copy of the final printed label for the record before you release the product for
`shipment.
`
`Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please be aware
`that with such a reference, the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide Fungicide and
`Rodenticide Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the
`product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40
`CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition,
`regardless of whether a website is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may
`not substantially differ from those claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should
`the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements
`or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be referred to the
`EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
`
`If you fail to satisfy these data requirements, EPA will consider appropriate regulatory action including,
`among other things, cancellation under FIFRA section 6(e). Your release for shipment of the product
`constitutes acceptance of these conditions.

`(cid:120) Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves
`before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean
`clothing.
`
`Environmental Hazards
`
`Benzovindiflupyr and azoxystrobin are toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates.
`Benzovindiflupyr is toxic to mammals. Drift and runoff may be hazardous to aquatic
`organisms in water adjacent to treated area.
`
`For terrestrial uses: Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is
`present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate
`water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate
`
`The active ingredients in this product can be persistent for several months or longer.
`
`Ground Water Advisory
`
`Azoxystrobin has degradation products which have properties and characteristics
`associated with chemicals detected in ground water. This chemical may leach into
`ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water
`table is shallow.
`
`

`

`Elatus Fungicide
`Page 4
`
`
`Surface Water Advisory
`
`This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is
`especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow ground water. A 15-foot
`vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water
`features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of
`benzovindiflupyr and azoxystrobin from runoff water and sediment. Do not cultivate
`within 15 feet of the aquatic areas to allow growth of a vegetative filter strip. Runoff of
`this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is
`expected to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this
`product’s potential to reach aquatic sediment via runoff.

`PRODUCT INFORMATION
`
`Elatus Fungicide is a broad-spectrum product containing two fungicides. It has
`preventive, systemic and curative properties and is recommended for the control of
`many important plant diseases. Elatus Fungicide provides excellent disease control of
`many leaf spots and powdery mildews. Elatus Fungicide is applied as a foliar spray and
`can be used in block, alternating spray or tank-mix programs with other crop protection
`products. All applications should be made according to the use directions that follow.
`
`
`

`

`Elatus Fungicide
`Page 7
`
`
`ATTENTION
`
`
`Elatus Fungicide is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple varieties.
`
`AVOID SPRAY DRIFT. Extreme care must be used to prevent injury to apple trees
`(and apple fruit).
`
`DO NOT spray Elatus Fungicide where spray drift may reach apple trees.
`
`DO NOT apply to greenhouse tomatoes.
`
`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.
`
`DO NOT use spray equipment which has been previously used to apply Elatus
`Fungicide to spray apple trees. Even trace amounts can cause unacceptable
`phytotoxicity to certain apple and crabapple varieties.
`
`AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE APPLICATOR.
`
`USE INFORMATION
`
`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, Syngenta recommends
`the use of a Chemical Producers and Distributors Association certified adjuvant.
`
`Use of Adjuvants: Under certain weather conditions (particularly high temperatures),
`Elatus Fungicide in combination with high rates of silicone-based or oil containing
`(petroleum or crop) additives or adjuvants may cause injury. Do not exceed 0.125%
`adjuvant (v/v). Consult a Syngenta representative for more information concerning
`additives or adjuvants.
`
` A
`
` tank mixture with Dimethoate may cause crop injury.
`
`
`On fresh market tomatoes, do not use adjuvants or tank mix Elatus Fungicide with any
`EC product.
`
`Efficacy: Under certain conditions conducive to extended infection periods, use
`another registered fungicide for additional applications if the maximum amount of Elatus
`Fungicide has been used. If resistant isolates to Group 7 or Group 11 fungicides are
`present, efficacy can be reduced for certain diseases. The higher rates in the rate
`
`

`

`Elatus Fungicide
`Page 8
`
`
`range and/or shorter spray intervals may be required under conditions of heavy infection
`pressure, with highly susceptible varieties, or when environmental conditions are
`conducive to disease.
`
`Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Elatus Fungicide 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.
`Consult your local agricultural authorities for additional IPM strategies established for
`your area. Elatus Fungicide may be used in State Agricultural Extension advisory
`(disease forecasting) programs which recommend application timing based on
`environmental factors favorable for disease development.
`
`Resistance Management
`
`GROUP 11
`
`Elatus Fungicide contains two fungicides - azoxystrobin, a strobilurin fungicide in Group
`11 and benzovindiflupyr, a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) in Group 7.
`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 agricultural authorities for resistance
`management strategies that are complementary to those in this label. Resistance
`management strategies may include rotating and/or tank mixing with products having
`different modes of action or limiting the total number of applications per season.
`Syngenta encourages responsible resistance management to ensure effective long-
`term control of the fungal diseases on this label. Elatus Fungicide should not be
`alternated or tank mixed with any fungicide to which resistance has already developed.
`
`As part of a resistance management strategy:
`
`7 FUNGICIDES
`
` (cid:120)
`
` Apply no more than 2 sequential applications unless otherwise stated in the crop
`section.
`(cid:120) When tank mixing or alternating, use an effective partner – one that provides
`satisfactory disease control when used alone at the mixture rate.
`(cid:120) Apply early to keep fungal populations low.
`(cid:120) Incorporate integrated pest management (IPM) practices into your program which
`can help reduce disease development and spread.

`
`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 combinations 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.
`
`Greenhouse Use: To help manage fungicide resistance, do not use Elatus Fungicide
`for commercial transplant production. Do not apply to greenhouse tomatoes.
`
`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 determines the potential for spray drift. AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT THE

`MIXING AND APPLICATION METHODS
`
`Spray Equipment
`
`Nozzles
`
` (cid:120)
`
` Equip sprayers with nozzles that provide accurate and uniform application.
`(cid:120) Nozzles should be the same size and uniformly spaced across the boom.
`(cid:120) Calibrate sprayer before use.
`It is suggested that screens be used to protect the pump and to prevent nozzles
`(cid:120)
`from clogging.
`(cid:120) Screens placed on suction side of pump should be 16-mesh or coarser.
`(cid:120) Do not place a screen in the recirculation line.
`(cid:120) Use 50-mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom, and where required,
`at the nozzles.
`(cid:120) Check nozzle manufacturer’s recommendations.
`
`Pump
`
` (cid:120)
`
` 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.
`(cid:120) Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube for agitation.
`(cid:120) Do not air sparge.
`
`For more information on spray equipment and calibration, consult sprayer

`(cid:120) Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been sprayed.
`
`Elatus Fungicide + Tank Mixtures: Elatus Fungicide is usually compatible with all
`tank-mix partners listed on this label. To determine the physical compatibility of Elatus
`Fungicide with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate
`amounts of the products to 1 qt of water. Add wettable powders and water dispersible
`granular products first, then liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After
`thoroughly mixing, let stand for at least 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or
`can be remixed readily, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven,
`use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.
`
`Tank Mixtures: All directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution rates, precautions,
`and limitations which appear on the tank-mix product label must be observed. The label
`dosage for the tank-mix partner is not to be exceeded, and the most restrictive label
`precautions and limitations are to be followed.
`
`Mixing in the Spray Tank
`
` (cid:120)
`
` Add ½-(cid:1152) of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank.
`(cid:120) With the agitator running, add the tank-mix partner(s) into the tank in the same order
`as described above.
`(cid:120) Allow the material to completely dissolve and disperse into the mix water. Continue
`agitation while adding the remainder of the water and Elatus Fungicide to the spray
`tank.
`(cid:120) Allow Elatus Fungicide to completely disperse.
`(cid:120) Spray the mixture with the agitator running.
`
`Application Instructions
`
`Elatus Fungicide 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.
`
`Ground Application – Broadcast spray
`
` (cid:120)
`
` Apply in a minimum of 10 gallons of water per acre, unless specified otherwise.
`(cid:120) Do not apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system.
`(cid:120) Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control.

`
`Ground Application Precautions
`
`OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS WHEN SPRAYING IN THE VICINITY
`OF AQUATIC AREAS SUCH AS LAKES, RESERVOIRS, RIVERS, PERMANENT
`STREAMS, MARSHES OR NATURAL PONDS, ESTUARIES, AND COMMERCIAL
`FISH PONDS.
`
` (cid:120)
`
` Do not apply within 15 ft of bodies of water such as lakes, reservoirs, rivers,
`permanent streams, natural ponds, marshes or estuaries.
`(cid:120) Shut off the sprayer when row ends.
`(cid:120) Do not cultivate within 15 ft of aquatic areas in order to allow growth of a vegetative
`filter strip.
`(cid:120) Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. Do not apply
`when gusts or sustained winds exceed 10 mph.
`(cid:120) Do not apply during a temperature inversion. Mist or fog may indicate the presence
`of an inversion in humid areas.
`(cid:120) For perennial crops such as blueberries and grapes: Spray last three rows
`windward of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed away
`from aquatic areas. Adjust or turn off top nozzles to prevent spray going over the
`tops of plants. Shut off nozzles on the side away from the field/vineyard when
`spraying the outside row. Shut off nozzles when turning at ends of row or passing
`gaps in the rows.
`
`
`Aerial Application
`
` (cid:120)
`
` Use only on crops where aerial applications are indicated.
`(cid:120) Thorough coverage is necessary to provide good disease control.
`(cid:120) Apply in a minimum of 2 gallons of water per acre unless specified otherwise.
`(cid:120) Avoid application under conditions when uniform coverage cannot be obtained or
`when excessive spray drift may occur.
`(cid:120) Do not apply directly to humans or animals.
`(cid:120) Do not apply through any ultra-low volume (ULV) spray system.
