FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

Imtrade Cracker 250 EC Fungicide is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, Imtrade Cracker 250 EC Fungicide is a Group 3 Fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Imtrade Cracker 250 EC Fungicide and other Group 3 Fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi populations if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Imtrade Cracker 250 EC Fungicide 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, Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Imtrade Cracker 250 EC Fungicide to control resistant fungi. Resistance should not be assumed without first reviewing the method of application, the coverage, and the timing of application.

MIXING

Shake well before use. Fill the spray tank and then add concentrate. Mix well.

Pineapples Pre-Plant Dip

Add the required amount of Imtrade Cracker 250 EC Fungicide directly to the dip and mix well. Avoid excessive contamination of the dip with organic matter.

APPLICATION

Imtrade Cracker 250 EC Fungicide may be applied by ground rig, high or low volume, or by air.

  • Cereals: May be applied by boom spray or aircraft. Ensure complete coverage of all leaves and stems are obtained. The objective of spraying is to control disease on the upper 2 to 3 leaves during grain filling. With aircraft, apply to 10 to 20L/ha with the lower rate used in crosswinds of not less than 5 knots and the higher rate in dense crops.
  • Apricots, Plums, and other Stone Fruits: Apply by high volume (dilute) sprayer or concentrate sprayer.
  • Bananas: Apply by misting machine, air blast sprayer, or aircraft. Use a minimum of 30L of water if applying by air.

Dilute Spraying

Use a sprayer designed for high volumes of water up to the point of run-off. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Adjust water volume and sprayer settings as the crop grows.

Concentrate Spraying

Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy. Calculate the concentrate-mixing rate based on the concentration factor.

COMPATIBILITY

Imtrade Cracker 250 EC Fungicide may be mixed with registered products containing azinphos-methyl, chlorothalonil, demeton-s-methyl, diazinon, methomyl liquid, metalaxyl, propargite, parathion, dimethoate, copper oxychloride, mancozeb, and zineb.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
