GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

FOLIAR DISEASES ON CEREAL CROPS

Monitor the crop regularly for symptoms of disease. Generally spray at the first sign of disease, although this will depend on factors such as expected weather conditions and the particular crop variety resistance. Refer to Directions for Use for particular disease recommendations. Up to two sprays of DALBIE 800 WG may be applied per season to the crop. Ensure good coverage of all susceptible plant parts.

DISEASE CONTROL IN OATS

Caution: Application of tebuconazole (present in Imtrade Turbulence 800 WG Fungicide) to some varieties of Oats may result in early senescing and bronzing of leaves. Varieties most at risk may also exhibit this trait under various stress conditions not related to fungicide sprays. Mitika variety of Oats has been identified as being susceptible to this condition when tebuconazole is applied, although other varieties may also be susceptible. The potential disease control to be achieved by using DALBIE 800 WG + Imtrade Turbulence 800 WG Fungicide in Mitika Oats should be weighed against the risk of crop damage.

DISEASE CONTROL IN CANOLA

Blackleg

Higher Blackleg risk can be expected in higher rainfall districts (above 500mm annual rainfall), where crops are grown within 500m of a previous year’s stubble and in later sown crops (May to August). Other factors will also increase the risk of Blackleg infection, including the intensity of canola cropping in a district, rainfall before sowing, and the frequency of growing the same canola cultivar. Consult industry guidelines for more detailed assessment of blackleg risk in specific situations. Up to two sprays of DALBIE 800 WG may be applied per season to the crop.

Sclerotinia

DALBIE 800 WG in combination with Imtrade Turbulence 800 WG Fungicide is most effective when application is made prior to conditions conducive to sclerotinia infection. Infection and disease development are most conducive in warmer winter or spring conditions with extended periods of leaf wetness due to rainfall, dew, and high humidity. Sclerotinia is most likely to develop where day temperatures are warmer coinciding with a saturated soil profile and rainfall events. Refer also to industry guidelines for advice on conditions under which sclerotinia are most likely to develop. Control of Sclerotinia Stem Rot is more effective in crops which have a uniform flowering. Uneven flowering (e.g. caused by staggered germinations) makes optimum spray timing difficult and two sprays may be required in these crops. Generally a single application of DALBIE 800 WG + Imtrade Turbulence 800 WG Fungicide at 20 to 30% flowering will control sclerotinia in crops with a short flowering interval. Crops with an extended flowering period may require a second application prior to 50% flowering (full-bloom) to adequately control sclerotinia if conditions late in the season are conducive to development of disease. Length of protection may be reduced in bulky crops where coverage is difficult and where there is growth dilution of the fungicide. For optimum protection, application should be directed to obtain coverage on petals, leaves, and stems.

FOLIAR DISEASES ON PEANUTS

Monitor the crop regularly for symptoms of disease. Generally spray at the first sign of disease, although this will depend on factors such as expected weather conditions and the particular crop variety resistance. Refer to Directions for Use for particular disease recommendations. Up to four sprays of DALBIE 800 WG per season may be applied to the crop. Ensure good coverage of all susceptible plant parts.

MIXING

Add the required quantity of DALBIE 800 WG to water in the spray vat while under agitation. Allow to fully disperse before adding products with other formulation types.

Ground:

• Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Triticale: Apply product using a spray volume of 70 – 100L/ha and a MEDIUM spray quality as defined by the ASABE S572 Standard.

• Canola: Apply product using a spray volume of 60 – 100L/ha and a MEDIUM spray quality as defined by the ASABE S572 Standard.

• Peanuts: Apply using a spray volume of 150 to 450L/ha and a nozzle that provides spray droplets not smaller than a (MEDIUM) spray droplet size category. Ensure thorough coverage of foliage.

Aerial: (not Pyrethrum or Peanut)

Apply product using a minimum spray volume of 20L/ha and a MEDIUM spray quality as defined by the ASABE S572 Standard.

USE OF ADJUVANT

Depending on the disease that is to be treated in the crop, some benefit in efficacy may be gained from addition of an appropriate adjuvant to the spray mixture. Follow these guides when deciding on the addition of an adjuvant to the tank mixture prior to spraying.
