GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE

For the control of black scurf (soil borne) in potatoes as specified in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE table.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Fungicide Resistance Warning
Emesto Prime is a member of the carboxamide group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management Emesto Prime is a Group 7 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Emesto Prime and other Group 7 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 this product and other Group 7 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, Bayer CropScience Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that result from failure of Emesto Prime to control resistant fungi.

Application
Emesto Prime is applied as an in-furrow application at planting. Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed into the furrow at the seed as a 15-20 cm band to apply product just before the seed is covered. Alternatively use a 2 nozzle system per row spraying the furrow prior to seed drop and after it has dropped just prior to covering. To reduce the potential for seed piece breakdown, strictly follow label instructions regarding water volume and follow industry recommended seed piece handling and planting practices.

Mixing
Prior to decanting, shake or agitate the container vigorously, then add the required quantity of Emesto Prime to water in the tank while stirring or with agitators in motion. Maintain agitation until spraying is complete.

Compatibility
For the latest compatibility recommendations contact the Bayer CropScience Technical Enquiry Hotline 1800 804 479 or your local Bayer CropScience representative.

Cleaning Up
Equipment should be thoroughly cleaned with water. In the event of changing from this water based flowable formulation to a solvent-based liquid formulation, it is essential to rinse equipment with methylated spirits after thoroughly cleaning with water. If changing from a solvent based liquid to this water based flowable, thoroughly clean with methylated spirits then rinse with water. Failure to do so may result in clogging of equipment.

Application Equipment
Rinse all equipment with clean water immediately after use and dispose of rinsings according to State/Territory legislative requirements.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

POTATOES
Disease: Soil borne black scurf (rhizoctonia root rot; Rhizoctonia solani)
Rate: 4 mL / 100 m row
Critical comments: Apply Emesto Prime once as an in-furrow spray at planting. Mount the spray nozzle so the spray is directed into the furrow at the seed as a 15-20 cm band applied just before the seed is covered. Alternatively use a 2 nozzle system spraying the furrow prior to seed drop and after it has dropped just prior to covering. Apply Emesto Prime in 1-3 L of water/100 m of row. Ensure the water volumes applied do not wash off any previously applied seed treatments. To reduce the potential for seed piece breakdown, strictly follow label instructions regarding water volume and follow industry recommended seed piece handling and planting practices.
