THIS REMEDY HAS BEEN EXTENSIVELY TESTED UNDER A LARGE VARIETY OF CONDITIONS. THE REGISTRATION HOLDER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT IT WILL BE EFFICACIOUS UNDER ALL CONDITIONS BECAUSE THE ACTION AND EFFECT THEREOF MAY BE AFFECTED BY FACTORS SUCH AS ABNORMAL CLIMATIC, SOIL AND STORAGE CONDITIONS, QUALITY OF DILUTION WATER, COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER SUBSTANCES NOT INDICATED ON THE LABEL, AS WELL AS BY THE METHOD, TIME AND ACCURACY OF THE APPLICATION. THE REGISTRATION HOLDER FURTHER MORE DOES NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO CROPS AND VEGETATION, THE ENVIRONMENT OR HARM TO MAN OR ANIMAL OR FOR LACK OF PERFORMANCE OF THE REMEDY CONCERNED DUE TO FAILURE OF THE USER TO FOLLOW THE LABEL INSTRUCTIONS OR TO THE OCCURRENCE OF CONDITIONS WHICH COULD NOT HAVE BEEN FORESEEN IN TERMS OF THE REGISTRATION. CONSULT THE SUPPLIER IN THE EVENT OF ANY UNCERTAINTY. PRECAUTIONS Avoid inhaling of spray mist. Wash with soap and water after use. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Do not contaminate food, feeds, rivers, dams and water sources. Clean application equipment before using with other remedies and dispose of wash water where it will not contaminate crops, grazing, rivers and dams. Avoid spray drift onto other crops, grazing, rivers and dams. Rinse empty container three times with a volume of water equal to a minimum of 10 % of that of the container. Add the rinsings to the contents of the spray tank before destroying the container in the prescribed manner. Do not re-use empty container but destroy by flattening and perforation. Prevent contamination of food, feeds, drinking water and eating utensils. DIRECTIONS FOR USE USE ONLY AS DIRECTED. Efficacy is greatly influenced by environmental factors, i.e. water stress and heat waves can have a negative influence. Ideally soil conditions should be at field capacity during application.

3 SPRAY VOLUME PER HECTARE Apply in sufficient amount of water to ensure thorough coverage without excessive run-off. Determine the spray volume required per hectare using the tree row volume model. Adjust spray volumes based on tree size and spacing. In many cases, spray volumes of approximately 750-1000 L/ha have been shown to be adequate. Consult the technical advisor of your Regulex 10 SG distributor. Apply Regulex 10 SG spray mix as a uniform fine mist spray, directing 85 % of the spray to the upper 2/3 of the tree. TIME OF APPLICATION 1. Apply when wind conditions will not cause excessive spray drift. 2. If conditions at full bloom are unfavourable, delay application until conditions favouring maximum absorption of Regulex 10 SG exist. High relative humidity, cool weather, damp and slow drying conditions at time of spraying or shortly thereafter, improves absorption. Spray in the early morning or evening. Conditions favouring rapid drying conditions of spray should be avoided. 3. Delay applying Regulex 10 SG after rain until flower parts/fruitlets and leaves are free of surface droplets. Application should be made only when a 6-hour rain free period is expected. If rain falls within 6 hours of application, reduced response should be anticipated. Do not re-spray in the event of rain falling within 6 hours of application. 4. Do not apply when temperatures are expected to be lower than 7 o C or higher than 32 0 C at the time of application. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS Do not pre-mix Regulex 10 SG. Half fill a clean spray tank with clean water and engage the agitator. Add the required amount of Regulex 10SG. Topup tank with water to required level. Use spray solution within 24 hours after mixing.

Mag oog-irritasie tot gevolg hê. Indien middel met oë in aanraking kom, was oë met genoegsame hoeveelhede water en\ verkry mediese advies. Mag uitdroging van vel tot gevolg hê. In geval van kontak met vel, was met seep en baie water en verwyder besoedelde klere. Mag ander gewasse beskadig. ALHOEWEL HIERDIE MIDDEL OMVATTEND ONDER 'N GROOT VERSKEIDENHEID TOESTANDE GETOETS IS WAARBORG DIE REGISTRASIEHOUER NIE DAT DIT ONDER ALLE TOESTANDE DOELTREFFEND SAL WEES NIE, AANGESIEN DIE WERKING EN EFFEK DAARVAN BEINVLOED KAN WORD DEUR FAKTORE SOOS ABNORMALE KLIMAATS-EN BERGINGSTOESTANDE; KWALITEIT VAN VERDUNNINGSWATER, VERENIGBAARHEID MET ANDER STOWWE WAT NIE OP DIE ETIKET AANGEDUI IS NIE, SOWEL AS DIE METODE, TYD EN AKKURAATHEID VAN TOEDIENING.

6 SPUITVOLUME PER HEKTAAR Dien toe in genoegsame hoeveelheid water om goeie bedekking te verseker sonder oormatige afloop. Bepaal die spuit volume benodig per hektaar deur gebruik te maak van die boom-ry-volume-model. Maak aanpassings t.o.v. die spuitvolume gebaseer op boomgrootte en spasiёring. In baie gevalle, sal n spuitvolume van 750-1000 L/ha voldoende wees. Raadpleeg die tegniese adviseur van u Regulex 10 SG verspreider. Dien die Regulex 10 SG spuitmengsel as 'n fyn spuitnewel toe en rig 85 % van die spuitmengsel op die boonste 2/3 van die boom. TYD VAN TOEDIENING 1. Dien toe wanneer windtoestande nie oormatige spuitnewel tot gevolg sal hê nie. 2. Indien toestande tydens volblom ongunstig is, vertraag die toediening tot meer gunstige toestande heers vir maksimum Regulex 10 SG opname. Hoë relatiewe humiditeit, koel weer, vogtige en stadigdrogende toestande tydens toediening of kort daarna verhoog die opname van Regulex 10 SG. Dien Regulex 10 SG vroeg in die oggend of in die aand toe. Moenie spuit wanneer toestande gunstig is vir vinnige afdroging nie. 3. Vertraag die toediening van Regulex 10 SG na reën totdat daar nie meer water druppels aanwesig is op blomdele/vruggies en blare nie. Toediening moet slegs geskied wanneer reën nie binne 6 uur na toediening verwag word nie. Indien dit sou reën binne 6 uur na toediening, moet 'n swakker resultaat verwag word. Moet nie oorspuit indien reën binne 6 uur van toediening val nie. 4. Moenie spuit indien verwag word dat temperature laer as 7 o C of hoër as 32 o C ten tye van toediening gaan wees. VERMENGING Moenie Regulex 10 SG vooraf meng nie. Vul skoon spuittenk half met skoon water en skakel die roerstelsel aan. Voeg die verlangde hoeveelheid Regulex 10 SG by. Vul op met water tot by die verlangde vlak. Gebruik die oplossing binne 24 h na vermenging.
