GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING

Note: TITAN Iprodione Aquaflow 500 Fungicide may be unstable in conditions where the pH is 7 or higher. It is therefore essential to check the pH of the spray solution before adding TITAN Iprodione Aquaflow 500 Fungicide. A suitable registered buffering agent may have to be added to bring the pH down below 7. Add half the required water volume to the spray tank or vat with the agitation mechanism operating. Add the required volume of this product and then add additional water to the volume required.

TURF NUTRITION

This product acts very rapidly and where the turf is of a low nutritional status, a slight yellowing may be seen. This will be corrected by nitrogenous fertilizer application. Where possible, it is recommended that the fertilizer program should precede the fungicide application.

APPLICATION

Good disease control requires even, thorough coverage of the target area. Application should be made using appropriate spray equipment and sufficient water to provide adequate penetration and coverage. Equipment settings and water volume may need to vary, depending on the growth stage of the crop.

Tree and Vine Crops

Dilute Spraying:

Use a sprayer designed to apply high spray volumes, up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient spray solution to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required spray volume to achieve point of run-off 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 100L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume to achieve point of run-off will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows.

Concentrate Spraying:

Use a sprayer designed and set up for the concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies spray volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched 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 (See Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate can then be calculated in the following way:

EXAMPLE ONLY

1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500L/ha.

2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500L/ha.

3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3x (i.e. 1500L ÷ 500L = 3).

4. If the dilute label rate is 10mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x10, that is 30mL/100L of concentrate spraying.

The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

COMPATIBILITY

TITAN Iprodione Aquaflow 500 Fungicide is compatible with the following products: Aliette WG, Bugmaster Flowable, calcium chloride, chlorpyrifos 500 EC, copper oxychloride, dimethoate, Dithane, Dithane M-45, endosulfan, Kelthane EC, maldison, metalaxyl, methomyl or parathion-methyl.

When tank mixing products the order of mixing is determined by formulation type. As a guide the following mixing sequence is recommended.

1. Wettable powders

2. Suspension concentrates

3. Water dispersible granules

4. Suspo-emulsions (e.g. TITAN Iprodione Aquaflow 500 Fungicide)

5. Soluble powders

6. Solutions

7. Emulsifiable concentrates

8. Soluble concentrates

9. Wetting agents and oils

With any mixture, thoroughly agitate immediately before applying. It is not recommended to mix this product with more than one of the above chemicals in the tank. The use of a surfactant or spray oil is not recommended with TITAN Iprodione Aquaflow 500 Fungicide as it may result in crop damage to sensitive plants. DO NOT mix with fertilizers.

Note: Mixing TITAN Iprodione Aquaflow 500 Fungicide with Aliette WG may result in some settling out. As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of TITAN AG Pty Ltd, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

Resistance Warning: FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

GROUP 2 FUNGICIDE

TITAN Iprodione Aquaflow 500 Fungicide is a member of the dicarboximide group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 2 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 2 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 TITAN Iprodione Aquaflow 500 Fungicide or other Group 2 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, TITAN AG Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.

Precautions: Protections

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS

DO NOT apply the product under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby plants/crops, cropping lands or pasture.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

Toxic to aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with chemical or used containers.
