FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING:

Ipral Fungicide is a member of the dicarboximide group of fungicides, belonging to Group 2. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Ipral and other Group 2 fungicides may exist due to normal genetic variability. The resistant individuals can dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are repeatedly used, resulting in reduced efficacy and possible yield loss. Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty Ltd accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of Ipral to control resistant fungi.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT:

To reduce the possibility of developing resistant strains of fungi, it is advisable to rotate the use of products with as many different modes of action as possible. Specific resistance management strategies, if established, are detailed in the Critical Comments.

EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE:

Growers intending to export produce treated with Ipral should check with Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty Ltd for the latest information on Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and import tolerances before using Ipral.

MIXING:

• Ipral may be unstable at pH levels of 7 or higher. Check the pH of the spray solution before adding Ipral.
• Shake well before use.
• Add half of the required water volume to the spray tank with the agitation mechanism operating.
• Add the required volume of Ipral and then add additional water to reach the required volume.

APPLICATION:

• Good disease control requires even, thorough coverage of the target area.
• Use appropriate spray equipment and sufficient water for adequate penetration and coverage.
• Equipment settings and water volume may need adjustment based on the crop's growth stage.
• High pressure, prolonged, and vigorous agitation, especially with high Ipral concentration, may reduce suspension properties, leading to scum or sediment formation.
• If agitation issues arise, consider using Ippon Aquaflo where registered.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TREE CROPS/VINES:

DILUTE SPRAYING:

• Use a sprayer designed for high spray volumes, up to the point of run-off.
• Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Apply sufficient spray solution to cover the crop to the point of run-off.

CONCENTRATE SPRAYING:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying.
• Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy with the chosen spray volume.
• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

EXAMPLE OF CONCENTRATE SPRAYING:

1. Dilute spray volume determined: e.g., 1500L/ha.
2. Chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g., 500L/ha.
3. Concentration factor: e.g., 3x (1500L ÷ 500L = 3).
4. If the dilute label rate is 10mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3x10, i.e., 30mL of product per 100L water for concentrate spraying.

• Adjust spray volume, product amount per 100L of water, and sprayer setup as the crop grows.
• For more information on concentrate spraying, consult industry guidelines, undergo appropriate training, and follow Best Practices.
