GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment is a novel quinazoline-based triazole fungicide for the protection of wheat against the root disease, Take-all and protection of canola against Blackleg. When Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment is applied as a seed treatment to wheat, the development of take-all is suppressed. Suppression of Take-all with Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment is characterized by reduced root lesions and a reduced number of whiteheads. Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment also provides season-long control of Common Bunt, seed- and soil-borne Flag Smut, and Loose Smut in wheat. In addition, Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment provides early-season control of Leaf Rust, Stripe Rust, and suppression of Septoria tritici blotch in wheat. Suppression of Septoria tritici blotch with Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment results in a reduction in the visible symptoms of this disease. When applied to barley, Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment provides early-season control of Powdery Mildew and Scald, with good suppression of both diseases for an extended period. In order to provide adequate control of Loose Smut and Covered Smut in barley, Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment must be applied in a tank mixture with a full label rate of Tebuconazole/Triflumuron seed treatment as indicated in the Application Rate section of the Directions for Use Table. Ensure thorough mixing to maintain a uniform application rate of the seed to ensure even coverage and correct application rates. For best results, Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment should be used to treat only undamaged, cleaned seeds of high viability.

Wheat: Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment is a water-based flowable product that can be applied neat or diluted with water. When applying the diluted product, prepare sufficient solution for the quantity of grain to be treated. DO NOT store diluted product. DO NOT dilute Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment with water such that greater than 6L dilute product per tonne of seed is applied.

Barley: Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment must be mixed with Tebuconazole/Triflumuron seed treatment prior to application. This mixture may be applied neat or diluted with water. DO NOT dilute the mixture of Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment and Tebuconazole/Triflumuron seed treatment with more than 2.0 liters of water for each tonne of barley seed to be treated. Prepare sufficient solution only for the quantity of grain to be treated. DO NOT store diluted product.

Canola: Apply Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment neat to canola seed. Do not add water.

Mixing Instructions Wheat and barley only: If mixing other compatible products or water with Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment, mix only sufficient product for immediate use.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment is a member of the triazole group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment and other Group 3 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, AIRR APPARENT Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment to control resistant fungi.

CROP SAFETY Canola: Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment may shorten the hypocotyl length of canola. To avoid possible negative effects, AIRR APPARENT Pty Ltd recommends following good canola sowing practices. Avoid sowing Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment treated canola deeper than 20mm, or into soils prone to crusting. Ensure Apparent Hoop 167 Seed Treatment treated seed is sown in the season of treatment.

PRECAUTIONS DO NOT use treated seed for human or animal consumption. DO NOT allow treated seed to contaminate grain or other seed intended for human or animal consumption.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Treated seed could be harmful to game and wildlife. DO NOT feed treated seed to wild or domestic birds. Any spillage of treated seed, however minor, must be cleaned up immediately, preferably recovered and used. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or watercourses with either this product, washings of this product, treated seed, or any container which has held product (see Storage and Disposal for directions).

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT feed treated seed to livestock, including poultry.
