• Pre-emergent, so it prevents weeds from germinating and emerging.
• Selective, so it will not damage desirable crop plants.
• Can be used in a variety of crops, including pastures, orchards, vineyards, and amenity plantings.
• Can be used on a variety of soil types.
• Long-lasting, providing up to 12 months of weed control.

MIXING
Add the required amount of product to the water in the spray tank/reservoir and stir thoroughly to ensure complete mixing. Add anti-foaming agent in situations where foaming of the dip solution could be a problem. Prepare and use spray and dip solutions only in well-ventilated areas.

APPLICATION – POST-HARVEST
Dip pineapples as directed.
For other fruit, until a topping-up recommendation is available, this product should be used in non-recirculating spray systems only. Treat fruit as soon as possible after harvest at shed temperature. Thorough coverage is essential. Adjust spraying equipment to ensure exposure of fruit for the periods recommended in the Critical Comments above. DO NOT use this product as a foliar spray on fruit as it may cause burning of foliage.

MIRAGE Fungicide is a member of the imidazole group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management MIRAGE is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to MIRAGE and other Group 3 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 or 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, ADAMA Australia accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.
Resistance management strategies
Resistant strains of fungi can develop to this and other fungicides, and therefore it is recommended that the following strategies be adopted to reduce the possibility of this occurrence:
Post-harvest dipping of fruit
1. For the last pre-harvest spray, use a fungicide with a different mode of action to the fungicide planned for use as a post-harvest treatment.
2. Where alternatives are available, rotate to use as many different modes of action as possible.
3. Dip fruit with a recommended fungicide promptly after harvest.
4. Don't store fruit in the packing house - move it through the packing house quickly.
5. Dispose of mouldy fungicide-treated fruit at harvest - DO NOT bring it into the packing house.
6. For the last pre-harvest spray, use a fungicide with a different mode of action to the fungicide planned for use as a post-harvest dip.
7. Resistant strains of fungi can develop within the packing house. Where alternatives are available, rotate to use products with as many different modes of action as possible.
8. Remove mouldy fruit from storage - isolate from other fruit.
9. DO NOT move fruit between packing houses - especially mouldy fruit.
