Discard clothing and other materials thathave been drenched or heavily contaminated with this product s not reuse CONTROLSWhen handlers use enclosed cabs in a manner that meets the requirements list-ed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides[40 CFR (d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced ormodified as specified in the HAZARDSDo not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present orto intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff from treated areasmay be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas.

5 Do not con-taminate water when disposing of equipment wash FOR USESHAKE WELL BEFORE USINGIt is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent withits not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons,either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area dur-ing application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult theagency responsible for pesticide not apply when wind speed favors drift beyond the area intended for USE REQUIREMENTSUse this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the WorkerProtection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirementsfor the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, andgreenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains require-ments for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the state-ments on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), and restrict-ed-entry interval.

6 The requirements in this box only apply to uses of thisproduct that are covered by the Worker Protection not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI).Exemption: The Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances,allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with any-thing that has been not enter or allow workers entry into treated areas during the restrict-ed-entry interval (REI). The REI for each crop is listed in the directions foruse associated with that : If this product is applied by drenching, the Worker ProtectionStandard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treatedarea if there will be no contact with anything that has been required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under theWorker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that hasbeen treated, such as plants, soil, or water, is: Coveralls over long-sleeved shirt and long pants, Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof material, Chemical-resistant footwear plus socks, Chemical-resistant headgear for overhead INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATIONA pply Topsin with ground or aerial equipment, using sufficient volume ofspray to provide thorough coverage.

7 Continuous agitation is required to keepthe material in suspension. United Phosphorus, Inc. does not recommend tankmixes with highly alkaline pesticides, such as Bordeaux mixture or lime claim of compatibility with other pesticides is implied. Use the higher rateunder conditions of severe disease pressure. Also, see local State ExtensionService recommendations for application the fl. rate for concentrate sprays (less than 400 gallons on apples,less than 300 gallons on stonefruit). Use the fl. gals. rate for dilute groundapplications. For aerial applications, use a minimum of 5 gallons/A for row crops,and a minimum of 10 gallons/A for tree crops. For ground applications use aminimum of 20 gallons/A for row crops and 30 gallons/A for tree crops. Higherspray volume will generally result in better coverage and better disease of control when using below minimum spray volumes is solely at the riskof the applicator/user, including use of electrostatic instructions follow.

8 Do not apply through any irrigation systemunless these instructions are crops without labeled uses of thiophanate-methyl, observe a 30-day plant-back on all labeled non-bearing tree fruit and tree nuts:Topsin may beused for control of the diseases listed on the label for these crops during thenon-bearing years of new plantings, and on nursery stock. All use directions andlimitations must be followed, except for the PHI, which is not applicable. Beginapplications as disease is first observed or expected. Tank mixing with a pro-tectant fungicide is strongly recommended for resistance MANAGEMENT:To avoid the development of tolerant or resistantstrains of fungi, Topsin should always be tank-mixed with a fungicide ofdifferent chemistry, and/or a fungicide of different chemistry should be alter-nated with Topsin DO NOT USE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIABENDA-ZOLE OR OTHER PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIOPHANATE-METHYL INCOMBINATION, IN ROTATION, OR AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR TOPSIN ASTHEY ARE OF SIMILAR CHEMISTRY AND WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVEL-OPMENT OF RESISTANCE.

9 If after using Topsin as recommended, and thetreatment is not effective, a tolerant or resistant strain of fungi may be the use of Topsin for at least one season. As long as theseprecautions are followed, Topsin can be useful for disease control, evenif resistant strains are present.~ 3~TOPSIN not enter orallow workerentry intotreated areasduring therestricted-entryinterval (REI)of 3 RotBlossom Blight(Monilinia)Scab(Cladosporium)Jacke t Rot(Monilinia,Sclerotinia,Botrytis)Leaf Blight(Seimatosporium)20 - 30 Apply as needed between pinkbud and petal may be appliedalone at pink bud for Brown Rotcontrol.
