GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Fortuna Globe 750 WG is a protectant fungicide for the control of certain fungal diseases in many crops. For best results, apply as a regular spray program. Thorough coverage of the treated crop is essential.

MIXING

• Slowly place into the tank as it is being filled, or thoroughly premix in a nurse tank for concentrate or aircraft sprayers.

• Add other co-applied fungicides, insecticides, surfactants, etc., after Fortuna Globe 750 WG has been placed into suspension.

• Maintain sufficient agitation during mixing and spraying to prevent the product from settling out and to ensure a uniform spray mixture.

• Rinse out spray tank, pumps, and nozzles at the end of the day.

• When preparing spray solutions for use in a hand sprayer, premix as a slurry in a small container, and then add to the sprayer containing one-third to half of the desired final water volume.

SURFACTANTS

• The addition of agricultural surfactants to Fortuna Globe 750 WG will improve initial spray deposits, fungicide redistribution, and weatherability.

• Use a Spreader-Sticker per label directions if needed.

APPLICATION

DILUTE SPRAYING – TREE AND VINE CROPS ONLY

• Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and match to the crop being sprayed.

• Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy.

• Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of the first run-off. Avoid excessive run-off.

• The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from Industry guidelines, or expert advice.

• Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off.

• The required dilute spray volume will change, and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows.

CONCENTRATE SPRAYING – TREE AND VINE CROPS ONLY

• Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and match to the crop being sprayed.

• Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume.

• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy. Consult your local advisor, agronomist, or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate-mixing rate.

• The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated based on the dilute spray volume and label rate.

AERIAL APPLICATION

• May be applied by agricultural aircraft.

• Use at least 30 to 50 liters of spray mixture per hectare. Consult the Directions for Use for the correct rate to be applied in specific crop situations.

SPRAY TIMING

• Treatments should begin prior to disease infection and continue until the threat of disease has passed.

• Repeated applications are necessary to protect new plant growth.

• Reduce the spray interval when weather conditions favor disease development.

COMPATIBILITY

• Fortuna Globe 750 WG may be harmful to Typhlodromus pyri, and its use in orchards where integrated control is practiced should be avoided.

• This product is compatible with most commonly used agricultural fungicides and insecticides; however, the user is advised to check compatibility with the other manufacturer’s recommendations before preparing tank mixes.

Resistance Warning:

• Fortuna Globe 750 WG is a Group M3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to this product and other Group M3 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, resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss.

• Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Melpat International Pty Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Fortuna Globe 750 WG to control resistant fungi.

Precautions:

• Protection of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans, and Environment: This product is toxic to fish. Drift and run-off from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. DO NOT contaminate ponds, waterways, or drains with the chemical or used containers. DO NOT reuse container.

• Protection of Livestock: DO NOT graze treated turf or feed turf clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock.
