	Indications

	Shepherd provides suppression of the diseases listed. See label for detailed application instructions and recommendations.

	Timing of Shepherd Injections

•	Sycamore Anthracnose
•	Leaf Diseases Of Crabapple For these diseases, preventative applications of Shepherd Fungicide are most effective when applied in the late summer, around one month prior to the typical first frost. This allows the chemical to translocate into the bud before leaf drop. Next spring when the tree leafs out, the chemical will be in place to protect the leaf. Annual treatments are required for prevention.
•	Oak Wilt
•	Dutch Elm Disease Applications can be made at any time during the growing season, spring through fall, provided the bark is pliable enough to accept the chemical injections. One application provides season-long protection. Retreatment can be made 12 months after initial treatment and annually thereafter. Note: Use Shepherd Fungicide ONLY as a preventative for Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease. These fungi infect the vascular system and cause plugging throughout the tree and treatment of infected trees is rarely successful. It is recommended that Shepherd Fungicide be administered by applicators trained in injection techniques and in the identification of Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm disease.
