GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Introduction to Cheers:

• Cheers is a protectant fungicide.
• It must be applied proactively before diseases occur or become established for optimal effectiveness.
• Disease warning services or past history should guide the timing of the first spray.
• For existing diseases, use an eradicant product mixed with Cheers.

Resistance Warning:

• Cheers 720 Weathershield is a Group M5 fungicide.
• Warning about naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Cheers 720 Weathershield and other Group M5 fungicides.
• Resistant fungi can dominate the population with repeated use, leading to reduced efficacy and possible yield loss.
• Difficult to detect resistant fungi before use; no liability for losses due to Cheers 720 Weathershield's failure to control resistant fungi.
• May be subject to specific resistance management strategies.

Mixing:

• Invert container for uniform mixture.
• Mix the required quantity of Cheers with water in the spray tank with the agitator operating.

Application (Tree and Vine Crops): Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high water volumes.
• Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy, applying sufficient water to cover to the point of run-off.
• Determine water volume using industry guidelines or expert advice.
• Add Cheers as specified in the Directions for Use table per 100L of water and spray to the point of run-off.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying.
• Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy with the chosen water volume.
• Determine dilute spray volume for the crop canopy to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.
• Calculate mixing rate using the concentration factor.
  • Example: Dilute spray volume 1500L/ha, concentrate spray volume 500L/ha, concentration factor 3.
  • Dilute label rate 40mL/100L, concentrate rate becomes 3 x 40, i.e., 120mL/100L of concentrate spray.
• Adjust spray volume, product amount, and sprayer setup as the crop grows.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK:

• DO NOT contaminate feed or foodstuffs with Cheers or empty containers.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS, AND ENVIRONMENT:

• Dangerous to fish.
• DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used container.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:

• Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
• Rinse containers before disposal; DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site.
• Follow recycling or burial procedures according to regulations.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS:

• Cheers can cause eye and skin irritation.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin; DO NOT inhale spray mist.
• Sensitive workers should use protective clothing.
• After use, wash hands, arms, face, and contaminated clothing thoroughly.

ADDITIONAL HAZARD AND PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENTS:

• Suspected of causing cancer, causing serious eye damage, and damaging fertility or the unborn child.
• Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/hot surfaces; avoid unintended environmental release.
• Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS 78) for additional information.

COMPATIBILITY:

• Compatible with wettable powder formulations of commonly used fungicides, insecticides, and miticides.
• DO NOT combine with oil-based emulsifiable or flowable pesticides unless prior experience confirms non-injury to turf grass.
• Avoid spraying oils on crops treated with Cheers and vice versa for at least 10 days.
• Wetting agents may not improve performance; certain surfactants can cause plant injury under specific conditions.
