DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Restraint
DO NOT apply more than 6 applications of this product per season. The effect of BOGARD 100 WG could be diminished if rain falls within 2 hours of application.

APPLES, PEARS
Disease: Protective and curative control of Apple Scab, Venturia inaequalis and Pear Scab, Venturia pirina
Rate: 
Dilute Spraying: 35 g alone or 25 g plus full recommended rate (tank mix) of a registered protectant Scab fungicide per 100 L
Concentrate Spraying: Refer to the Application section
Critical Comments: Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods.
This use is subject to an CropLife anti-resistance strategy.
Commence fungicide spray program at green tip stage with an approved fungicide.
SPURBURST TO PETAL FALL
Protective Program
Apply BOGARD 100 WG from spurburst. Repeat applications at 7 to 10 day intervals until full petal fall. Use the high rate (35 g) if applying BOGARD 100 WG alone or at the low rate (25 g) only in mixture with a registered protectant Scab fungicide.
Apply no more than 4 applications of BOGARD 100 WG alone. After 4 applications, apply BOGARD 100 WG only as a tank mix with a protectant Scab fungicide. See instructions below.
Curative Program
Apply BOGARD 100 WG within 5 days of the beginning of an infection period or when the spore warning service indicates that an infection period has occurred.
After petal fall apply BOGARD 100 WG only as a tank mix with a protectant Scab fungicide. See instructions for Petal Fall Onwards.

Disease: Protective and curative control of Apple Scab, Venturia inaequalis and Pear Scab, Venturia pirina
Rate: 
Dilute Spraying: 25 g plus full recommended rate (tank mix) of a registered protectant Scab fungicide
Concentrate Spraying: Refer to the Application section
Critical Comments: Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods.
PETAL FALL ONWARDS
Protective Program
Apply the tank mixture of BOGARD 100 WG plus a registered protectant Scab fungicide at 14 to 21 day intervals as required, depending on weather conditions and disease incidence.
Curative Program
Apply the tank mixture of BOGARD 100 WG plus a registered protectant Scab fungicide within 5 days of the beginning of an infection period or when the spore warning service indicates that an infection period has occurred.

Disease: Suppression of primary infection and control of secondary infections of Powdery Mildew Podosphaera leucotricha
Rate:
Dilute Spraying: 50 g
Concentrate Spraying: Refer to the Application section
Critical Comments: Apply BOGARD 100 WG 10 days after spurburst at approximately the pink stage (late September/early October). Repeat 4 to 5 times at 10 to 14 day intervals.
If susceptible varieties need further sprays after 6 applications of BOGARD 100 WG have been made, switch to an alternative Powdery Mildew fungicide.
Refer to the Application section for appropriate application volumes.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION

WITHHOLDING PERIOD
Apples, Pears: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 4 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing
BOGARD 100 WG is a water dispersible granule (WG) fungicide which mixes readily with water. Partly fill the spray tank with water. Start the agitation and add the correct amount of product to the spray tank with the agitation system running. Continue agitation while topping up the spray tank with water and while spraying.

Tank Mixing
When mixing BOGARD 100 WG and other water dispersible granule (WG) or wettable powder (WP) formulations, ensure they are added and mixed well prior to adding emulsifiable concentrate (EC) or suspension concentrate (SC) products. Wettable powder (WP) formulations should be pre-mixed separately and then added to the spray tank.

Application
Apply by high volume (dilute) sprayer or by concentrate sprayer.
Dilute Spraying
Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of runoff and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of runoff. Avoid excessive runoff. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Direction for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of runoff. The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows.
Concentrate Spraying
Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of runoff) and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:
Example only
1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: for example 2000 L/ha
2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: for example 500 L/ha
3. The concentration factor in this example is: 4 x (ie, 2000 L ÷ 500 L = 4)
4. If the dilute label rate is 35 g/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 4 x 35, that is 140 g/ 100 L of concentrate spray.
The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

Compatibility
BOGARD 100 WG can be mixed with Chorus, Delfin, Dipel, Insegar, Mavrik, Pirimor, Pyranica, Supracide and some formulations of azinphos-methyl, calcium chloride, calcium nitrate, carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, diazinon, endosulfan, magnesium sulphate, parathion, propargite and the protectant Scab fungicides dithianon, mancozeb, metiram and ziram.

Fungicide Resistance Warning
BOGARD 100 WG is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management BOGARD 100 WG is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to BOGARD 100 WG and other Group 3 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by BOGARD 100 WG 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, Syngenta Crop Protection Pty Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of BOGARD 100 WG to control resistant fungi.
