GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This product is a protectant fungicide for the control of certain fungus diseases of many crops. For best results, apply as a regular spray program. Thorough coverage of the treated crop is essential.

APPLICATION

Dilute Spraying:

  • Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water 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 water to cover the crop to the point of 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 for each 100L of water. Spray to the point of run-off.
  • The required dilute spray volume will change as 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 concentrate spraying (a sprayer that applies water 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 the appropriate dilute spray (see dilute spraying above) for crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.
  • The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated.

EXAMPLE ONLY: i) Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500L/ha ii) Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500L/ha iii) The concentration factor in this example is: 3 x (i.e., 1500L 500L = 3) iv) If the dilute label rate is 10mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, that is 30mL/100L of concentrate spray.

  • The chosen spray volume, the amount of product per 100L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows.

For fruit trees and some row crops apply as a high volume dilute spray. The spray volume will vary according to the type of crop to be treated and should be increased in heavy growth and on large plants to ensure thorough coverage. The spray volume should also be increased as the size of treated crops increases throughout the growing season. As a guide for mature crops:

Aerial Application: May be applied by agricultural aircraft. Use at least 30 to 50 L/ha of spray mixture per hectare. (Refer to Directions for Use table). Spray Timing Treatments should begin before disease infection and continue until the threat of disease passes. Repeated applications may be required to protect new growth. Reduce the spray interval when weather conditions favor disease development.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

Kencozeb 750 DF is a member of the multi-site activity group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, Kencozeb 750 DF is a Group M3 Fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Kencozeb 750 DF and other Group M3 Fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Kencozeb 750 DF and other Group M3 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, Kenso Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Kencozeb 750 DF to control resistant fungi.

Mixing Slowly add the required amount of this product to the spray tank as it is being filled or thoroughly premix in a nurse tank for concentrate and aerial spraying. Add other products after Kencozeb 750 DF is in suspension. Continue agitation while spraying to prevent product settling out and to ensure a uniform spray mixture. Rinse out spray tank, pumps, 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 the desired final water volume.

COMPATIBILITY This product may be harmful to Typlodromus pyri and its use in orchards where integrated pest control is practiced should be avoided. Kencozeb 750 DF is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and miticides such as Azinphos, Carbaryl, Dicofol, Endosulfan, Pirimicarb, Propargite, Sulphur Power, Wetting Agent or Spreader-Sticker. Also compatible with D-C-Tron. The user is advised to check the label recommendation for the companion product before preparing tank mixes.

Surfactants The addition of a surfactant will improve initial spray deposits, fungicide redistribution, and weatherability. Refer to manufacturers label instructions for further details.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze treated turf/grass; or feed turf/grass clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Toxic to fish. Drift and run-off from treated areas may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used container. DO NOT re-use container.
