DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS

Table 1 – No-Spray Zones for Protection of the Aquatic
FOR AERIAL APPLICATION
Crop: Bananas
Downwind Mandatory No-: 30 metres

Crop: Bananas
Downwind Mandatory No-: 10 metres
Crop: Grapes
Downwind Mandatory No-: 10 metres

Downwind Mandatory No-: 160 metres

BANANAS
(bagged)
Disease: Leaf speckle (Mycosphaerella musae), leaf spot (Mycosphaerella musicola), Black Sigatoka (Mycosphaerella fijiensis)
Rate: 300 to 400 mL plus 3 to 5 L of water miscible oil/ha.
WHP (Days): -
Critical Comments: Maintain good crop hygiene by regularly removing old and diseased leaves to reduce the source of disease inoculum.
DO NOT use on bananas unless bunch covers are in place.
Ground applicationand aerial application: Apply by airblast sprayer or misting machine. Use the higher rates under conditions favouring disease infection.
Apply up to four sprays per season, as part of a preventive disease control programme, commencing early in the season and using alternative mode-of- action products in between CABRIO applications. Do NOT apply consecutive sprays of CABRIO or other Group 11 fungicides.
This use is subject to an CropLife Australia resistance management strategy.

GRAPEVINES
Disease: Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola), powdery mildew (Uncinula necator)
Rate: 
Dilute spray: 40 mL/100 L water
Concentrate spray: Refer to the “Application” section.
WHP (Days): 21
Critical Comments: Also see ‘CAUTION’ section re export commodities. Apply up to three sprays per season as part of a complete disease control programme.
Ideally, apply in a block of three sprays at 10 to 14 day intervals, commencing at flowering. Use the shorter intervals under conditions favouring disease infection.
Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same total amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods.
This use is subject to an CropLife Australia resistance management strategy.

MACADAMIA
Disease: Husk spot (Pseudocercospora macadamiae)
Rate: 40mL/100L in maximum spray volume of 2000L/ha
WHP (Days): -
Critical Comments: Apply up to two sprays per season as part of a complete disease control program.
Commence CABRIO application at match head timing stage and repeat application at 14 to 28 days later. Ensure that fungicides from an alternative chemical group are included in the spray program each season.

ALMOND
Disease: Rust (Tranzschelia discolor)
Rate: 40mL/100L
WHP (Days): -
Critical Comments: Apply up to two sprays per season as part of a complete disease control program. Commence application at flowering and repeat application at 10 to
14 days later. Ensure that fungicides from an alternative chemical group are included in the spray program each season.

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

WITHHOLDING PERIODS:
HARVEST:
ALMOND, BANANAS (BAGGED), MACADAMIA - NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.
GRAPES - DO NOT HARVEST FOR 21 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
MIXING
To ensure even mixing, half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of product. If required, add compatible products and agitate thoroughly, then add the remainder of the water. Agitate again before spraying commences.

APPLICATION
Bananas:
Ground application: Apply by airblast sprayer or misting machine to ensure even coverage.
Aerial application: Apply in a minimum volume of 20 L/ha.
Grapevines/ Macadamia/ Almond:
Dilute Spraying
- Use a sprayer designed to apply high spray volumes, up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed.
- Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient spray solution to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off.
- The required spray volume to achieve point of run off may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, or from industry guidelines or other expert advice.
- Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use Table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run- off.
- The required dilute spray volume to achieve point of run off 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 spray volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed.
- Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen spray volume.
- Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (See Dilute Spraying above) 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
- Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500 L/ha
- Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha
- The concentration factor in this example is: 3 X (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3)
- If the dilute label rate is 20 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 20 (that is 60 mL of product per 100 L water for concentrate spraying).
- 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.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
GROUP 11 FUNIGICIDE
CABRIO Fungicide is a member of the strobilurin group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, CABRIO Fungicide is a Group 11 fungicide. Some naturally-occurring individual fungi resistant to CABRIO Fungicide and other Group 11 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 CABRIO Fungicide or other Group 11 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, BASF Australia Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of CABRIO Fungicide to control resistant fungi.

PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.

RE-ENTRY PERIOD
Do NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

CAUTION
EXPORT OF TREATED FRUIT OR WINE
Growers should note that Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) or import tolerances do not exist in all markets for fruit treated with CABRIO Fungicide. Additionally, some export markets have established MRLs different to those in Australia. If you are growing fruit for export (either fresh, dried or for wine production), please check with BASF Australia Ltd or the Australian Wine Research Institute http://www.awri.com.au for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using CABRIO Fungicide.
