Product information
Compass is a site-specific herbicide for use on turfgrass and ornamentals with protective and curative activity. It penetrates the plant and provides translaminar activity via a high affinity for the waxy layer of the plant surface, localized vapor movement and re-deposition on the plant.
Mixing Procedures
Prepare no more spray mixture than is needed for the immediate operation. Thoroughly clean spray equipment before using this product. Agitation is necessary for proper dispersal of the product. Maintain agitation throughout the spraying operation. Do not let the spray mixture stand overnight in the spray tank. Flush the spray equipment thoroughly following each use and apply the rinsate to a previously treated area.
Compass Alone: Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. With the agitator running, add the product to the tank. Continue agitation while adding the remainder of the water. Begin application of the solution after it has completely dispersed into the mix water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
Compass Tank Mixtures: Add 1/2 of the required amount of water to the mix tank. Start the agitator running before adding any tank mix partners. Add tank mix partners in this order: (1) products packaged in water soluble packaging, wettable powders, wettable granules such as Compass Fungicide; (2) liquid flowables, liquids; and (3) emulsifiable concentrates. Always allow each tank mix partner to become fully dispersed before adding the next product. Provide sufficient agitation while adding the remaining water. Maintain agitation until all of the mixture has been applied.
NOTE: When using Compass Fungicide in tank mixtures, add all products in water-soluble packaging to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including Compass Fungicide. Allow the water-soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank.
Use with additives: Use of spray additives are not required. Evaluate any spray additive prior to use. Do not use in conjunction with organosilicate-based products, or plant injury may occur. Label directions are based on data with no additives.
Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Aerial application: Do not apply by aerial application.
Resistance Management: Compass belongs to the strobilurin class of chemistry which exhibits no known cross-resistance to other chemical classes including sterol inhibitors, dicarboximides, benzimidazoles, anilino pyrimidines, or phenylamides. However, certain fungal pathogens are known to develop resistance to products used repeatedly. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product must conform to resistance management strategies. Such strategies may include rotating and/or tank mixing with products having different modes of action; or limiting the total number of applications per season.
Maximum Use Rates
For turfgrass, up to 34 1/2 oz of Compass can be applied per acre per year.
For plants grown in outdoor nurseries, outdoor seedbeds, field plantings, and landscapes, up to 34 1/2 oz of the product per acre of production or acre of landscape per year or crop cycle can be used. For seedlings and plants grown in greenhouses, containers, and other enclosed structures, up to 120 oz of it per acre per year or crop cycle can be used. In California only, do not apply more than 34 1/2 oz of it per acre per year or crop cycle to seedlings or plants grown in greenhouses, containers, and other enclosed structure.
