This organic wettable powder fungicide uses the active ingredient of Pseudomonas chlororaphis strain AFS009 to work inside the plant microbiome to attack the pathogenic fungi that cause plant diseases. It does this by producing natural antibodies that directly attack the fungi and enzymes that break down fungal cell walls and prevent spore attachment. All of this action induces a resistance response in the plants that further inhibits fungal growth.

Do not apply by aerial application. To reduce the risk of phytotoxicity, test a small portion of the crop for sensitivity before treating entire crop.
MIXING DIRECTIONS -
Important -Do not add to the mix tank before introducing the correct amount of water. Add water to the mix tank. Start the mechanical or hydraulic agitation to provide moderate circulation before adding Howler. Maintain circulation while loading and spraying. Do not mix more Howler than can be used in 24 hours.
- Spray volume: For in-furrow spray applications, use at least 5 gallons of total volume per acre in water-based sprays.
- Tank mixing: Do not combine Howler in the spray tank with other pesticides, surfactants, adjuvants, or fertilizers if there has been no previous experience or use of the combination to show it is physically compatible, effective, and non-injurious under your use conditions. Observe the most restrictive of the labeling limitations and precautions of all products used in mixtures. To ensure compatibility of tank-mix combinations, they must be evaluated prior to use. To determine the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test. Using a quart jar, add the proportionate amounts of the products to one quart of water with agitation. Add dry formulations first, then flowables, and then emulsifiable concentrates last. After thoroughly mixing, let this mixture stand for 5 minutes. If the combination remains mixed or can be readily remixed, it is physically compatible. Once compatibility has been proven, use the same procedure for adding required ingredients to the spray tank.
For information on chemigation use/application, please refer to the manufacturer's label under the DOCS tab.
