General Information

Insignia® fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide for thecontrol of many important diseases of turfgrass andornamentals. For maximum efficacy, apply Insignia pre-ventively. Insignia may be applied as a solo treatment orin tank mixes with other registered fungicides. DO NOTexceed the specified application rate or fail to comply withuse restrictions listed in the Resistance Managementand Restrictions and Limitations sections. All applica-tions must be made according to the use directions thatfollow. Failure to follow directions and precautions on thislabel may result in injury and/or inferior disease control.

This package contains Insignia, a water-dispersible gran-ule (WG). The active ingredient in Insignia, pyraclostrobin,is a member of the strobilurin class of chemistry andis derived from a natural antifungal substance. Optimumdisease control is achieved when Insignia is applied in aregularly scheduled protective spray program and used ina rotation program with other fungicides. Because of itshigh specific activity, Insignia has good residual activityagainst target fungi.

Mode of Action. Pyraclostrobin, the active ingredient inInsignia, belongs to the group of respiration inhibitorsclassified by the U.S. EPA and Canada PMRA asQuinone Outside Inhibitors (QoI) or target site of actionGroup 11 fungicides.

Application Information

Spray Drift Management

DO NOT spray when conditions favor drift beyond areaintended for application. Conditions that contribute to driftinclude thermal inversion, wind speed and direction, spraynozzle/pressure combinations, spray droplet size, temper-ature/humidity, etc. Contact your state extension agent forspray drift prevention guidelines in your area. All applica-tion equipment must be properly maintained and calibrat-ed using appropriate carriers. Avoiding spray drift at theapplication site is the responsibility 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.

The following drift management requirements must befollowed to avoid off-target drift movement from aerialapplications to agricultural field crops.

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

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

Where states have more stringent regulations, they mustbe observed.

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 high-est practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher ratedflows produce 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 ofnozzles that provide uniform coverage.

• Nozzle Orientation - Orienting nozzles so that thespray is released parallel to the airstream produces larg-er droplets 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 forthe intended application. With most nozzle types, nar-rower spray angles produce larger droplets. Considerusing low-drift nozzles. Solid-stream nozzles orientedstraight back produce the largest droplets and the low-est drift.

WindDrift potential is lowest when wind speed does not exceed10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet sizeand equipment type, determine drift potential at any givenspeed. Application must be avoided below 2 mph due tovariable wind direction and high inversion potential. Localterrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator mustbe familiar with local wind patterns and how they affectspray drift.

Temperature and HumidityLow humidity and high temperatures increase the evapo-ration of spray droplets and, therefore, the likelihood ofincreased spray drift.

Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/orhigh temperatures. When making applications in low rela-tive humidity, set up equipment to produce larger dropletsto 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 inversionsare characterized by increasing temperatures with altitudeand are common on nights with limited cloud cover andlight-to-no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets andoften continue into the morning. Their presence can beindicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present,inversions can also be identified by the movement ofsmoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke genera-tor. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concen-trated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates aninversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dis-sipates 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.

Use Precautions for Sprinkler and DripIrrigation Applications

Drip IrrigationInsignia® fungicide may be applied through drip irrigationsystems to potted ornamentals or to bedded, field-grownornamentals for soilborne disease control. Apply 8 to

5

Page 6: KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN CAUTION/PRECAUCION · remove to chemical waste storage area until proper dis-posal can be made if product cannot be used according to label. • Dike

16 ozs Insignia® fungicide per acre as a preventive dis-ease application. The soil or potting media should haveadequate moisture capacity prior to drip application.

Terminate drip irrigation at fungicide depletion from themain feed supply tank or after 6 hours from start,whichever is shorter. For maximum efficacy, subsequentirrigation (water only) should be delayed for at least24 hours following drip application.

Sprinkler IrrigationInsignia may be applied through sprinkler irrigation to turf,to potted ornamentals, or to bedded, field-grown orna-mentals. Apply this product through sprinkler irrigationsystems, including center pivot, lateral move, end tow,side [wheel] roll, traveler, big gun, solid set, or hand moveirrigation systems. DO NOT apply this product throughany other type of irrigation system except as specified onthis label.

Apply with center pivot or continuous-move equipmentdistributing 1/2 acre-inch or less during treatment. In gen-eral, use the least amount of water required for properdistribution and coverage. If stationary systems (solid set,handlines or wheel lines other than continuous-move) areused, inject this product into no more than the last 20 to30 minutes of the set. DO NOT apply when wind speedfavors drift beyond the area intended for treatment. Plantinjury, lack of effectiveness, or illegal pesticide residues inthe crop can result from nonuniform treated water.Thorough coverage of foliage is required for good control.Maintain good agitation during the entire application peri-od. If you have questions about calibration, contact aState Extension Service specialist, equipment manufactur-ers or other experts. The system must contain a functionalcheck valve, vacuum-relief valve, and low-pressure drainappropriately located on the irrigation pipeline to preventwater-source contamination from backflow.

The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a functional,automatic quick-closing check valve to prevent the flow offluid back toward the injection pump. The pesticide injec-tion pipeline must also contain a functional, normallyclosed solenoid-operated valve located on the intake sideof the injection pump and connected to the system inter-lock to prevent fluid from being withdrawn from the supplytank when the irrigation system is either automatically ormanually shut down. The system must contain functionalinterlocking controls to automatically shut off the pesticideinjection pump when the water pump motor stops. Theirrigation line or water pump must include a functionalpressure switch, which will stop the water pump motorwhen the water pressure decreases to the point wherepesticide distribution is adversely affected. Systems mustuse a metering pump, such as a positive displacementinjection pump (e.g. diaphragm pump) effectively designedand constructed of materials that are compatible with pes-ticides and capable of being fitted with 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 the supervision of

the responsible 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 zoneback-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 should be discharged intoa reservoir tank prior to pesticide introduction. Thereshall be a complete physical break (air gap) betweenthe outlet end of the fill pipe and the top or overflow rimof the reservoir tank of at least twice the inside diameterof the fill pipe.

3. The pesticide injection pipeline must contain a func-tional, automatic quick-closing check valve to preventthe flow of fluid back toward the injection pump.

4. The pesticide injection pipeline must 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 systemis either automatically or manually shut down.

5. The system must contain functional interlocking con-trols to automatically shut off the pesticide injectionpump when the water pump motor stops, or in caseswhere there is no water pump, when the water pressuredecreases 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.

7. DO NOT apply when wind speed favors drift beyondthe area intended for treatment.

Resistance Management

Insignia contains pyraclostrobin, a Group 11 fungicide,and is effective against pathogens resistant to fungicideswith modes of action different from those of QoI fungi-cides (target site of action Group 11), such as thedicarboximides, sterol inhibitors, benzimidazoles, orphenylamides. Fungal isolates resistant to Group 11fungicides, such as pyraclostrobin, azoxystrobin, andtrifloxystrobin, may eventually dominate the fungal

population if Group 11 fungicides are used predominantlyand repeatedly in the same area in successive years asthe primary method of control for the targeted pathogenspecies. This may result in reduction of disease control byInsignia® fungicide or other Group 11 fungicides.

To maintain the performance of Insignia, DO NOTexceed the total number of sequential applications ofInsignia. Adhere to the label instructions regarding theconsecutive use of Insignia or other target site of actionGroup 11 fungicides that have a similar site of action onthe same pathogens.

The following recommendations may be consideredto delay the development of fungicide resistance:

1. Tank mixtures - Use tank mixtures with fungicidesfrom different target site of action groups that areregistered/permitted for the same use and that areeffective against the pathogens of concern. Use at leastthe minimum labeled rates of each fungicide in the tankmix.

2. IPM - Insignia should be integrated into an overall dis-ease and pest management program. Follow culturalpractices known to reduce disease development.Insignia may be used in advisory (disease forecasting)programs which recommend application timing basedon environmental factors favorable for disease develop-ment.

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 Insigniaappears to be less effective against a pathogen that itpreviously controlled or suppressed, contact a BASFrepresentative or local expert for further investigation.

In turfgrass, DO NOT make more than two (2) sequentialapplications of Insignia for Pythium blight, gray leaf spot,dollar spot, or anthracnose. Then alternate to an effectivenonstrobilurin fungicide before reapplying Insignia.

DO NOT make more than three (3) consecutive applica-tions of Insignia for all other turfgrass diseases. Thenalternate to an effective nonstrobilurin fungicide beforereapplying Insignia.

In ornamental plants, DO NOT make more than two (2)sequential applications of Insignia. Then alternate with afungicide of a different mode of action before reapplyingInsignia. DO NOT alternate Insignia with otherGroup 11 fungicides.

Addition of Additives

DO NOT use with organosilicate-based adjuvants or injurymay occur. Because of the large number of additives oradjuvants that may be used, neither the manufacturer northe seller has determined whether Insignia can be usedsafely with all additives.

General Tank Mixing Information

Tank Mix Partners/Components

Insignia is compatible with most fungicide, insecticideand fertilizer products. If tank mixtures are used, adhere torate restrictions, label recommendations and requirements,and precautions on all labels.

Physical incompatibility, reduced disease control, or plantinjury may result from mixing Insignia with fungicides, her-bicides, insecticides, additives, or fertilizers. To improvecontrol of certain diseases, Insignia may be tank mixedwith other effective (nonstrobilurin) fungicides.

Compatibility Test for Tank MixComponents

Add components in the following sequence using 2 tea-spoons for each pound or 1 teaspoon for each pint oflabel rate per acre.

1. Water - For 87 gallons per acre spray volume, use14.4 cups (3.5 liters) of water. For other spray volumes,adjust rates accordingly. Use only water from theintended source at the source temperature.

2. Water-dispersible products - (dry flowables, wettablepowders, suspension concentrates, or suspo-emulsions). Cap the jar and invert 10 cycles.

3. Water-soluble products - Cap the jar and invert10 cycles.

4. Emulsifiable concentrates - (oil concentrate ormethylated seed oil when applicable). Cap the jar andinvert 10 cycles.

5. Water-soluble additives - Cap the jar and invert10 cycles.

6. Let the solution stand for 15 minutes.7. Evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. The

spray solution should not have free oil on the surface,nor fine particles that precipitate to the bottom, northick (clabbered) texture. DO NOT use any spray solu-tion that could clog spray nozzles.

Mixing Order

Limit amount of spray mixture prepared to that needed forimmediate use.

1. Water - Begin by agitating a thoroughly clean sprayertank half full of clean water.

2. Products in PVA bags - Place the water-soluble PVAbag into the mixing tank. The water-soluble PVA bagwill dissolve in water to allow the contents to disperse.Wait until all water-soluble PVA bags have fully dis-solved, and the product is evenly mixed in the spraytank before continuing.

3. Water-dispersible products (dry flowables such asInsignia, wettable powders, suspension concentrates,or suspo-emulsions)

4. Water-soluble products5. Emulsifiable concentrates (oil concentrate or methy-

lated seed oil when applicable)

Use Insignia for control of certain pathogens causingfoliar, aerial, and crown rot diseases, including scab,blights, leaf spots, powdery and downy mildews, anthrac-nose, and rust of ornamental plants and flower bulbs.

Begin applications of Insignia prior to disease develop-ment and continue throughout the season at specifiedintervals following resistance management guidelines.Insignia works best when used as part of a preventivedisease management program. Use of Insignia as a latecurative or eradicant treatment may not always result insatisfactory disease control.

Integrate Insignia into an overall disease and pest man-agement program that includes selection of varieties withdisease tolerance, optimum plant populations, proper fer-tilization, pruning, plant residue management, propertiming and placement of irrigation, and manipulation ofenvironmental conditions to prevent fungal developmentwhere possible.

Plant Tolerance

The phytotoxic potential of Insignia has been assessedon a wide variety of common ornamental plants with nophytotoxicity observed. Refer to Table 6 for the list ofplants shown to be tolerant to Insignia. Not all plantspecies and their varieties and cultivars have been testedfor tolerance to Insignia, possible tank mix combinationsof Insignia, pesticide treatments preceding or followingthose of Insignia, and combinations of Insignia withadjuvants or surfactants. Local conditions can also influ-ence plant tolerance and may not match those underwhich BASF has conducted testing. Therefore, beforeusing Insignia, test the product on a sample of the plantto be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will notoccur prior to large-scale use.

Use with Additives

Label directions are based on data without additives.Additives or spray adjuvants are usually not necessary foruse with Insignia. If additives or spray adjuvants areincluded, use only surfactants approved for ornamentalplants in combination with Insignia. Test the product on asample of the plant to be treated to ensure that injury willnot occur prior to large-scale use. DO NOT use

organosilicone-based adjuvants with Insignia or injurymay result on certain ornamental species. Always test tankmixes on a small group of representative plants prior tobroadscale use.

Restrictions and Limitations

• For outdoor uses, DO NOT apply more than a total of15 pounds of Insignia per acre per year.

• For greenhouse uses, DO NOT make more than 8 appli-cations of Insignia per year.

• DO NOT apply to plants that show injury (leaf phytotoxi-city or plant stunting) produced by prior pesticideapplications.

• DO NOT use on crops intended for food or feed use.

• DO NOT apply by air in ornamental uses other than pro-duction ornamentals. Use sites permitted include:- Container and field nurseries- Flower bulb production- Forest and conifer nurseries

• DO NOT use in vegetables grown in greenhouses forcrop production, or in vegetable production of trans-plants for outdoor use.

• DO NOT expose wintercreeper (Euonymus vegetus) andnine bark (Physocarpus opulifolius) to spray or drift con-taining Insignia or injury may result.

• DO NOT expose Concord, Worden, Fredonia or Niagaragrapes, or related varieties, to spray or drift containingInsignia or injury may result.

• Be cautious when applying Insignia to impatiens(Impatiens spp.) and petunia (Petunia spp.) during flow-ering as discoloration may occur.

• Resistance Management - To limit the potential fordevelopment of resistance, DO NOT make more thantwo (2) sequential applications of Insignia. Then alter-nate to a labeled fungicide with a different mode ofaction.

Application Information

Apply Insignia® fungicide according to the rate, timing,resistance management and adjuvant use recommenda-tions in Tables 3 and 4 in this label. Insignia may beapplied by ground sprayer, aerial equipment, or throughsprinkler and drip irrigation systems.

Foliar-directed and Crown-directedApply Insignia at use rates and intervals stated inTables 3 and 4. Under light-to-moderate disease pres-sure, use the lower rates on a 7-day interval or the higherrates on a 14-day interval. Under environmental conditionsthat promote severe disease development, use the higherrates on a 7-day interval. Apply Insignia as a broadcast orbanded spray targeted at the foliage or crown of the plant.Apply to runoff in sufficient water to ensure complete cov-erage of the target plant. Thorough coverage and wettingof foliage, crown and base of the plant and growth mediasurrounding the crown is necessary for best control. Referto Table 3 for specific use directions for control of specificdiseases. Repeat applications at specified intervals (plusalternations for resistance management) for as long asrequired.

DrenchApply Insignia preventively as a drench treatment for con-trol of certain soilborne, seedling and crown diseases inproduction ornamentals. For control of Rhizoctonia solaniand Phytophthora spp., drench the soil with a solution of 8to 16 ounces of Insignia per 100 gallons. Thorough cov-erage and wetting of root zone, crown and base of theplant, and surrounding growth media is necessary for bestcontrol. Repeat applications as needed within 7 to 21days. See Table 4 for more information regarding drenchtreatments. BASF does not recommend using Insigniaafter symptoms of soilborne disease have become evidentbecause control may not be satisfactory.
