4 DIRECTIONS FOR USE CROP DISEASE RATE/100L WATER Beans Sclerotinia Botrytis CEREALS Barley Wheat Eyespot RATE/HA 2L in L of ml in 200L of CRITICAL COMMENTS Apply during the early season period immediately after emergence. For Botrytis control alternate with another botryticide. Use no more than 2 applications per season. Use the higher rate when leaf sheaths have lengthened (Feekes GS5). Ues the lower rate when the crop is at blade stage (Feekes GS7-8). To prevent the build-up of resistance strains of eyespot, do not apply on cereal crops in the same paddock for more than 2 consecutive seasons. Barley Scald ml in 200L of For combined eyespot and scald control use as for eyespot above. For scald control apply the higher rate at the first sign of disease. Apply no more than 2 applications per season. Citrus Blue Mould 50ml Dip fruit in the mixture for about 30 seconds. Resistance is widespread. Use only in regions where control of blue mould is still effective.

Apply in a program with alternative botrycides and make no more than four applications a season. Protection normally lasts for up to 6 weeks, so where possible pastures should be treated in anticipation of danger. In early February treat enough pasture for 14 days grazing. Then treat further areas as required so stock will graze 7-10 days after spraying. During danger periods limit stock in treated areas. In an emergency situation stock may graze pasture sprayed at least 24 hours earlier and obtain worthwhile protection. Ensure complete coverage of all areas likely to be grazed eg under and through fences, hedges and trees. Add a suitable surfactant such as AGPRO Wetter Penetrant. Re-treatment will be necessary if heavy rain occurs within 3 days folllowing application. Blackspot 25ml Apply in combination with a non-benzimidazole protectant fungicide.
