GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING:
- GROUP 40 FUNGICIDE:
- ACROBAT SC is a Group 40 fungicide.
- Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to ACROBAT SC may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population.
- Resistant fungi may not be controlled by ACROBAT SC and other Group 40 fungicides, leading to reduced efficacy and potential yield loss.
- BASF Australia Ltd accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of ACROBAT SC to control resistant fungi.
- For resistance management, use ACROBAT SC with mancozeb or POLYRAM. It should be part of a protective spray program and applied before disease symptoms appear.
- To prevent or delay the development of strains of disease fungi resistant to dimethomorph, use ACROBAT SC in spray programs with fungicides having different modes of action.
MIXING:
- Half fill the spray vat with water and begin agitation.
- Add the required volume of ACROBAT SC and let it disperse.
- Add the correct amount of mancozeb or POLYRAM as directed.
- Add the remaining water with agitation running.
- Add wetting agent if required when the spray tank is full.
- Ensure thorough mixing and constant agitation to keep the product in suspension.
APPLICATION:
- Ensure thorough coverage of plants, especially the underside of leaves and young grape bunches.
- DO NOT apply by aircraft.
APPLICATION TO GRAPEVINES:
Dilute Spraying:
- Use a sprayer designed for high volumes of water up to the point of run-off.
- Set up and operate the sprayer for even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
- Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off, avoiding excessive run-off.
- Determine the required water volume from industry guidelines or expert advice.
- Add the specified amount of product per 100 L of water and spray to the point of run-off.
- Adjust dilute spray volume and sprayer setup as the crop grows.
Concentrate Spraying:
- Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying, matched to the crop.
- Set up and operate the sprayer for even coverage throughout the crop canopy with the chosen water volume.
- Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy.
- Calculate the concentrate mixing rate based on the dilute spray volume and concentration factor.
- Use a spray volume of at least 250 liters per hectare for concentrate application.
- Adjust the chosen spray volume, product amount per 100 L, and sprayer setup as the crop grows.
Note: Consult relevant industry guidelines, undergo competency training, and follow Best Practices for concentrate spraying.
