8. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

An broad spectrum agricultural protectant fungicide.

9. APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:

Ensure good coverage. Best results when the crop canopy is wet.

High volume, low volume, mister and aerial application.

For aerial and low volume ground applications spray when the canopy is wet.

Apply before diseases occur or become establish as chlorothalonil only has protectant action.

If disease is established use an eradicant for the first spray.

Slippery when split. Clean up spills immediately.

Apply before rain as spraying immediately after rain will not control infections that occurred during the rain event.

10. ADJUVANTS, WETTERS, OILS:

None recommended. Label advises against the use of spraying oils and wetting agents and mentions fruit damage may occur at some times or if oils have been used within the last 10 days or if tank mixed with EC formulations of other pesticides.

Wetting agents have not improved performance in trials.

11. EQUIPMENT:

Boom, mister, hand spray, aircraft.

12. SPRAYER WASH OUT AND DECONTAMINATION:

Triple rinse with water and wetting agent.

Physically clean deposits from strainers and other areas where deposits build up.

13. WATER OR CARRIER DATA:

High volume >500 L/ha

Low volume > 200 L/ha

Mister 75-225 L/ha

Summary:

Details:

Poison schedule - S6

Mammalian toxicity -

Acute oral LD50 - >10,000 mg/kg (rats), [For comparison table salt is 3000 mg/kg]

Acute dermal LD50 - > 10,000 mg/kg (rabbit).

Skin - Severe irritant. Contact dermatitis.

Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) - 0.01 mg/kg bw/day

Repeated doses produce kidney tumours in rats and male mice.

23. TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:

Ingestion of large amounts may cause general depression, diarrhoea, irritation of the mouth oesophagus and stomach.

It may be an eye irritant and may cause conjunctivitis and corneal opacity.

On skin it may result in irritation or sensitisation in sensitive individuals.

Inhalation may cause respiratory irritation.

Long term prolonged exposure may cause kidney disorders.

24. FIRST AID:

If SWALLOWED - Do NOT induce vomiting. Rinse mouth with water. Give a glass of water to drink. Seek medical advice.
