DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Restraints

• Cereals only: DO NOT apply more than 2 applications of AC AMAZER 280 (or any other Group 11 or Group 3 fungicide) in any one season on the same paddock.

• DO NOT exceed a combined total of 800 mL/ha of AC AMAZER 280 in any one season on the same paddock.

SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS

Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at www.apvma.gov.au/spraydrift

• DO NOT allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud.

• DO NOT apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact to native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production, or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities, outside the application site from spray drift. The buffer zones in the relevant buffer zone table/s below provide guidance but may not be sufficient in all situations. Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas.

• DO NOT apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application.

• DO NOT apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site during the time of application. Surface temperature inversion conditions exist most evenings one to two hours before sunset and persist until one to two hours after sunrise.

Mixing

AC AMAZER 280 is a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation that mixes readily with water and is applied as a spray.

1. Partly fill the spray tank with water

2. Start the agitation

3. Add the correct amount of product to the spray tank with the agitation system running

4. Continue agitation while topping up the tank with water and while spraying

5. Use the spray mix within 24 hours of preparation

Growing Conditions

In general AC AMAZER 280 should be applied under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. AC AMAZER 280 should not be applied to crops that are under stress due to very dry, very wet, frosty conditions, nutrient deficiency or high insect pressure, as this may give less than reliable results.

Spray Timing

Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results will be achieved from applications made in the earliest stages of disease development or as a protectant treatment following a disease risk assessment.

Cereals: Applications of AC AMAZER 280 should be made within the crop growth stages ranging from tillering to early flowering (Z26 to Z62). The object of spraying is to keep the upper 2 to 3 leaves green and functioning through grain filling stage.

Peanuts: The object of spraying is to control diseases and stop defoliation during pegging or pod fill stages to ensure stems are sufficiently strong for harvesting.

Application

May be applied by boom spray or aircraft. Ensure complete coverage of all leaves and stem is obtained.

Cereals:

• Boom Application: As a guide, apply in spray volumes ranging from 50 to 100 L water per hectare. The use of flat fan nozzles is recommended using a fine to medium quality spray pattern, with pressures in the range 100 to 400 kPa.

• Aerial Application: As a guide, apply using 20 to 30 L water per hectare using a fine to medium quality spray. Use the lower rate when applications are made with a cross wind of not less than 5 knots. Use the higher rates when applying to dense crops.

Peanuts:

• Boom Application: As a guide, apply in spray volumes ranging from 150 to 500 L water per hectare. The use of hollow cone nozzles or flat fans is recommended using a fine to medium quality spray pattern, with pressures in the range of 500 to 1000 kPa for the hollow cones and 150 to 300 kPa for flat fan nozzles.

• Aerial Application: As a guide, apply 25 to 60 L water per hectare using a fine to medium quality spray. Use with the lower rate when applications are made with a cross wind of not less than 5 knots. Use the higher rates when applying to dense crops.

Compatibility/Tank Mixing

AC AMAZER 280 is physically compatible with a wide range of products, however, the biological compatibility of these mixtures may not have been fully tested under all environmental and biological conditions.

A mixture of AC AMAZER 280 with any other product may in some circumstances be ineffective or may cause damage.

If tank mixes are to be used observe all directions, precautions and limitations on all products to be used. As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Crop Smart, and the quality of water may vary with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

Trade Advice

EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL: DO NOT slaughter animals destined for export within 7 days of consumption of treated cereal forage or straw, or peanut forage or fodder.
