Imtrade Defend 400 EC Fungicide - Product Instructions

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT Imtrade Defend 400 EC Fungicide, a DMI group fungicide, is classified as a Group 3 Fungicide for resistance management. Resistant fungi may exist due to normal genetic variability in any fungal population. Continuous use of Imtrade Defend 400 EC Fungicide or other Group 3 Fungicides may lead to resistant fungi dominating the population, reducing efficacy and potentially causing yield loss. Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of the fungicide to control resistant fungi.

MIXING Add the required amount of Imtrade Defend 400 EC Fungicide directly to the spray tank and mix thoroughly.

APPLICATION Thorough coverage is crucial for effective results. For aerial application, use 20 to 30L water/ha. For ground application, use at least 100L water/ha.

Crop-Specific Application:
