A DMI fungicide.

9. APPLICATION METHODS AND TIPS:

Apply as a low or high volume spray to ensure even coverage of foliage.

If exporting produce check that MRL's or import tolerances have been established for these export markets.

10. ADJUVANTS, WETTERS, OILS:

None recommended.

11. EQUIPMENT:

Orchard sprayers that provide even coverage of all foliage.

Not suitable for aerial application.

12. SPRAYER WASH OUT AND DECONTAMINATION:

Rinse equipment with water.

13. WATER OR CARRIER DATA:

For high volume spraying use 800 L/ha pre flowering and 1000-1500 L/ha after flowering.

For low volume spraying use sufficient water to obtain good coverage.

14. WEATHER:

Apply in fine weather.

20. MODE OF ACTION:

21. PESTICIDE RESISTANCE:

Some strains of fungus may be resistant or develop resistance with continued application.

Apply no more than 3 group C fungicides during the season. Use a non group C fungicide for mid to late season control.

22. TOXICITY:

Poison schedule - S5

Harmful by inhalation.

Irritating to eyes with risk of serious eye damage.

Irritating to skin. Prolonged contact can have a drying or defatting effect. Solvent can be absorbed through intact skin.

May cause lung damage if inhaled. Inhalation can cause irritation of respiratory tract, drowsiness, slurred speech, headache, dizziness, nausea, stupor and unconsciousness.

Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. (Embryotoxicity observed in rats and rabbits)

Not oncogenic - does not cause birth defects.

Not mutagenic - does not cause cancer.

Slightly decrease testicular weight and minimal testicular atrophy observed in 2 year chronic study on rats.

Prolonged or repeated exposure to the solvents may cause liver and kidney damage.

Toxic decomposition products may be produced if burnt.
