4. ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Carboxin 200g/L + thiram 200g/L
5. COST: $23.65 per L or kg.
6. CHEMICAL GROUP: G,Y.
7. RELATED PESTICIDES:
Carboxin 200g/L + thiram 200g/L
8. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
An agricultural fungicide applied as a seed dressing.
9. APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:
Ensure even and thorough coverage of all seed.
Passing grain through an auger after treatment helps ensure even distribution of fungicide on the seed.
Only treat seed with a moisture content of less than 15%.
10. ADJUVANTS, WETTERS, OILS:
None recommended
11. EQUIPMENT:
Use calibrated equipment provides even and thorough distribution of the product on the seed.
Pass through an auger after treatment to help ensure even coverage.
12. SPRAYER WASH OUT AND DECONTAMINATION:
Triple rinse with water plus wetting agent.
13. WATER OR CARRIER DATA:
Use clean water.
Agitate if mixture has been lest standing.
Water may be added provided ratio or product:water is less than 1:4 and for cereals the total volume of product plus water is less than 600 mL/100 kg seed.
14. WEATHER:
In very hot weather the addition of water may be desirable to help even distribution on seed.
In moist humid weather ensure the final seed moisture content after treatment is below 15%.
15. RAINFASTNESS:
Not applicable
16. SOIL:
This product is less affected by soil temperatures than some other seed treatments that don't contain carboxin.
17. PLANT HEALTH and OTHER EFFECTS:
Plant treated seed in the current season.
Treated grain does not flow as freely as untreated grain, so planting equipment may need to be recalibrated.
18. WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
Do not cut for stockfeed or graze plants that have been grown from treated seed for 6 weeks after sowing.
Do not cut for stockfeed or graze plants that have been grown from treated seed for 6 weeks after sowing.
19. PLANT BACK PERIODS or RECROPPING INTERVALS:
Not applicable
20. MODE OF ACTION:
Carboxin is a group G, oxathiin, systemic fungicide with protective and curative action. It is also a growth regulant that increases coleoptile length of cereal seedlings.
Thiram is a broad spectrum surface contact fungicide with multi site action.
21. PESTICIDE RESISTANCE:
Some species may be resistant or develop resistance with continued application. Rotate with products from alternative groups.
22. TOXICITY:
Poison schedule - S6
Summary: Toxic by inhalation. People with kidney or respiratory complaints should avoid exposure to the product.
Details:
Poison schedule - S6
Mammalian toxicity -
Acute oral LD50 - 4500 mg/kg (rats), [For comparison table salt is 3000 mg/kg]
Chronic dermal exposure may cause may cause dermatitis and sensitisation.
Carboxin is not carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic in animal tests. (i.e. does not cause cancer or reproductive problems).
Thiram is not carcinogen in animal tests. Some teratogenic effects have occurred at high maternotoxic levels in animals.
Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) -
Thiram interacts with alcohol to increase toxic effects.
23. TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:
Vomiting and head ache.
Overexposure to Thiram component may cause kidney problems and damage to the nervous system, blood and liver.
24. FIRST AID:
If SWALLOWED - If patient fully conscious give large quantities of water and induce vomiting preferably using Ipecac Syrup APF. Do NOT give alcohol. See a doctor.
If in EYES - Irrigate for 15 minutes with plenty of water. See a doctor.
If on SKIN - Rinse with plenty of water, remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap and water.
If INHALED - Remove patient to fresh air. See a doctor if breathing difficulties occur.
If patient has symptoms or is concerned contact a doctor immediately.
Advice to doctor - Treat symptomatically.
