4. ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: Iprodione 250g/L

5. COST: $35.20 per L or kg.

6. CHEMICAL GROUP: B.

7. RELATED PESTICIDES:

Iprodione 250g/L

Iprodione 500g/L

Procymidone 500g/L

8. GENERAL DESCRIPTION:

A group B, dicarboximide agricultural fungicide usually applied as a seed dressing.

9. APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:

Ensure thorough coverage of seed.

For Lupins, use in combination with other disease management strategies such as stubble retention, direct drilling, shallow planting depths, clean seed, long rotations and early planting.

Iprodione will reduce beneficial rhizobia innoculum levels applied to seed.

10. ADJUVANTS, WETTERS, OILS:

None recommended

11. EQUIPMENT:

Seed treatment applicators or an eclosed drum or cement mixer can be used to apply to seed. Slowly add liquid while mixing seed.

12. SPRAYER WASH OUT AND DECONTAMINATION:

Don't burn product or containers as toxic compounds of carbon, nitrogen and chlorine may be produced.

Triple rinse with water plus wetting agent.

13. WATER OR CARRIER DATA:

Mix with water to make the total volume up to 600 mL and apply to 100 kg seed.

14. WEATHER:

15. RAINFASTNESS:

16. SOIL:

For lupins, use only on areas that have sufficient rhizobia levels to nodulate the crop.

17. PLANT HEALTH and OTHER EFFECTS:

18. WITHHOLDING PERIODS:

Lupins and Potaotes: Not required when used as directed.

Lupins and Potaotes: Not required when used as directed.

19. PLANT BACK PERIODS or RECROPPING INTERVALS:

20. MODE OF ACTION:

Contact fungicide. Protective and curative action. It inhibits the germination of spores and reduces the growth of fungal mycelium.

Dicarboximide group.

Absorbed by roots when in soil water.

21. PESTICIDE RESISTANCE:

Some species may be resistant or develop resistance with continued application. Rotate with products from alternative groups.

22. TOXICITY:

Poison schedule - S5

Summary: Low toxicity. May be harmful if very large amounts swallowed. Some formulations contain a hydrocarbon solvent.

Details:

Poison schedule - S5

Mammalian toxicity - No major health hazards are known.

Acute oral LD50 - 3500 mg/kg (rats), 4400 mg/kg (rabbit)[For comparison table salt is 3000 mg/kg]

Acute dermal LD50 - >1000 mg/kg (rabbit). >2500 mg/kg (rat).

Skin - Non irritating (Rabbit), non sensitising (Guinea Pig)

Eye - Slightly irritating (Rabbit). May be an eye irritant

Vapour inhalation - LC50 - >3.3 mg/L air (rat). May irritate mucous membranes of nose and mouth.

Chronic oral toxicity NOEL - 4 mg/kg bw/day for two years.

Not mutagenic in the Ames assay (i.e. not likely to cause birth defects). Classified as a Category 3 carcinogen (i.e. insufficient evidence to categorise as a carcinogen). Increased incidence of tumours have been reported in rodents fed high doses.

Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) - 0.04 mg/kg/day.

NOEL - 4 mg/kg/day.

23. TOXICITY SYMPTOMS:

Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and loss of coordination.

Small amounts (of the seed dressing formulation which contains hydrocarbon solvent) aspirated into lungs on vomiting after ingestion ma cause pulmonary oedema or bronchopneumonia.

24. FIRST AID:

If SWALLOWED - Rinse mouth with water. Do not induce vomiting. Rest patient and contact a doctor if any symptoms occur.

If in EYES - Irrigate for 15 minutes with plenty of water. Contact a doctorif symptoms occur.

If on SKIN - Rinse with plenty of water, remove contaminated clothing, wash with soap and water.

If INHALED - Remove patient to fresh air.

If patient has symptoms or is concerned contact a doctor immediately.

Advice to doctor - Treat symptomatically. Anticonvulsive therapy is not appropriate. No specific antidote. Care should be taken to prevent pulmonary aspiration as the product contains hydrocarbon solvents.

25. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:

Safety goggles and face shield.

Elbow length PVC gl;oves.

Cotton overalls and washable hat.

Boots.

28. ENVIRONMENTAL FATE:

Summary - Very toxic to aquatic organisms. Low toxicity to insects and earthworms. Not likely to contaminate the environment as it is rapidly metabolised in soil.
