PRODUCT INFORMATION
ACTIGARD 50WG is a selective, non-pesticidal systemic compound used for the suppression
bacterial spot and bacterial speck of tomatoes and the control of blue mold of tobacco. ACTIGARD
50WG is an inducer of host plant resistance. ACTIGARD 50WG exhibits a unique mode of action
which mimics the natural systemic activated resistance (SAR) response found in most plant species.
ACTIGARD 50WG has no direct activity against target pathogens.
A plant back interval of 30 days is required for all crops other than those listed on the ACTIGARD
50WG label.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN
CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control
aquatic pests.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of
equipment or disposal of wastes.
For best performance, always follow these directions:
ACTIGARD 50WG should be applied to plant foliage preventively, before disease is observed in the
field.
ACTIGARD 50WG moves systemically within the plant; however uniform spray coverage is essential
for best performance. Apply ACTIGARD 50WG by ground application in sufficient water to ensure
uniform coverage. See instructions with each crop for specific recommendations.
An ACTIGARD 50WG application mimics the SAR response in plants.
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this
product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society
of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above
the crop or ground.
DO NOT apply by air.
Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the
generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label.
