Agree.
But, as memory serves, one of the issues with at least one the Almond
fungicides was that they were combined with insect growth inhibitor but
only identified as a "fungicide". As I recall that allowed them to be
sprayed close to or during bloom. So the additional issue is just what
constitutes the "fungicide".
