Use BioSpectra 100SC as a postharvest dip, drench, flood, or spray for the control of certain postharvest fruit rots caused by:- Blue mold (Penicillium expansum.)
- Gray mold (Botrytis cinerea)
- Mucor rot (Mucor piriformis)

- Phacidiopycnis rot (Phacidiopycnis piri)
- Speck rot (Phacidiopycnis washingtonensis)
- Direction For Use
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact
workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may in the area during application. For any requirement specific to
your State and Tribe, consult the State/Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
General Information
BioSpectra 100SC is a stable aqueous suspension of Natamycin crystals, a natural fermentation product of Streptomyces natalensis. Natamycin is
classified as a macrolide polyene antifungal compound and has a unique mode of action binding to ergosterol which is present in the cell membranes of yeasts and fungi preventing germination of fungal spores and inhibiting beginning growth of hypha. Natamycin has no effect against other types of
microorganism or against fungal mycelium once growth begins.
Fungicide Resistance Management
Use of BioSpectra 100SC should be integrated into an overall disease management program within each packinghouse. Fungal pathways can develop resistance to products with the same mode of action when used repeatedly. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, use of postharvest
resistance management strategies should be practiced. These may include rotating and/or tank mixing with product having different modes of action. Responsible resistance management practices are necessary to ensure the long-term effectiveness for decay control.
Mixing Instructions Fill tank with half of the required amount of water or water wax and start mechanical agitation. Add the required amount of BioSpectra 100SC andthen add the remaining volume of water or water wax. Maintain agitation after mixing and do not allow treating solution to stand overnight or forprolonged periods. For in-line injection systems better distribution will be achieved by injecting a larger volume of a more dilute solution per unit oftime.The physical compatibility of BioSpectra 100SC with all tank mix partners and wax types has not been fully investigated. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Follow the more restrictive labeling requirements of any tank mix partner.
No label dosage rates for the individual products may be exceeded.Specimen LabelPrior to tank mixing with BioSpectra 100SC, conduct a jar test with the volumes and rates typically used for postharvest disease control. Add proportionate amounts of the products to a small container of water or water wax in the following order: Wettable powders and water-dispersible
granules first, followed by liquid flowables, and emulsifiable concentrates last. After thorough mixing, let stand for at least 15 minutes. Separation, globules, sludge, flakes or other precipitates are indicative of physical incompatibility. Physical compatibility is indicated if the combination remains
mixed or can be remixed readily. THE CROP SAFETY OF ALL POTENTIAL PESTICIDE TANK MIXES WITH BIOSPECTRA 100SC INCLUDING ANTI-SCALD AGENTS AND WAXES, HAS NOT BEEN TESTED ON ALL CROPS AND VARIETIES. BEFORE APPLYING ANY TANK MIXTURE, CONFIRM SAFETY TO THE TARGET CROP BEFORE USE.

- Precautionary Statements
HAZARDS TO HUMANS AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS-CAUTION: Harmful if swallowed. Causes moderate eye irritation. Avoid contact with eyes. Wear protective eyewear. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, and chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE): Mixers, Loaders, Applicators and all others handlers must wear:- Protective eyewear
- Long sleeved shirt
- Long pants
- Socks plus shoes
- Water proof gloves
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning/maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry.
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS:- Users should remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.

Storage & Handling
- Storage And Disposal
Do not contaminate water, food, or feed by storage or disposal.Pesticide Storage: Store in original container only in a cool, dry, dark place.
Pesticide Disposal: To avoid waste, use all material in this container by application according to label directions. If wastes cannot be avoided,
offer remaining product to a waste disposal facility or pesticide disposal program (often such programs are run by state or local governments or by
industry).
Container Handling: Nonrefillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drop. Fill the
container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds. Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or
disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drop. Repeat this procedure two more times. Offer for recycling if available or dispose of in a sanitary landfill or by other procedures approved by state and local authorities
