GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
GROUP M1 FUNGICIDE
DuPont Kocide Blue Xtra is a protectant fungicide. Applications should begin prior to any sign of disease.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
For fungicide resistance management, DuPont Kocide Blue Xtra is a Group M1 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Group M1 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 Kocide Blue Xtra and other Group M1 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, DuPont accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.
Mixing Instructions
Fill the spray vat with good quality water. Remove top strainer from spray vat. With the agitation system operating, pour the required quantity of Kocide® Blue Xtra into the spray vat in a steady stream. DO NOT attempt to pre-mix Kocide Blue Xtra in water before adding to the spray vat. If other pesticides are being used, fully mix the Kocide Blue Xtra in the spray tank before adding other products. Always add and mix the Kocide Blue Xtra first. Sprays containing Kocide Blue Xtra should be used within 3 hours of preparation and they should be agitated continuously during this period.
Application to Tree Crops and Vines
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 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.
- Always apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off, otherwise under dosing will occur and disease control may be inadequate.
Concentrate Spraying
- Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which 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 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 spraying can then be calculated in the following way:
Example Only
- Dilute spray as determined above: For example 1,500 L/ha
- Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha
- The concentration factor in this example is 3X (i.e 1,500 L ÷ volume, Kocide Blue Xtra should be applied at double the dilute 500 L = 3)
- If the dilute label rate is 150 g/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 150, that is 450 g/100 L of concentrate spray.
- The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows.

DO NOT use a concentrate factor higher than that specified in the Critical Comments and the following table:

Crop: Almonds 
Maximum Concentration Factor: 2 times
Crop: Deciduous fruit
Maximum Concentration Factor: 2 times
Crop: Avocadoes & Mangoes 
Maximum Concentration Factor: 3 times
Crop: Vines 
Maximum Concentration Factor: 3 times
Crop: Citrus, Litchis, Walnuts
Maximum Concentration Factor: Dilute application only

For further technical information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow Industry Best Practices.
For concentrate application use a minimum spray volume of 250 L per hectare.

Application to Vegetables 
General:
Thorough coverage of the plant is essential for maximum effectiveness. To achieve thorough coverage:
- Spray volumes need to be increased as the plants grow.
- The configuration of the sprayer may need to be altered as the plants grow and change shape.
The coverage provided by the sprayer should be checked prior to each application and adjusted if necessary. This should only be done with water plus any required wetting agents.

Dilute Sprays:
Apply using a sprayer fitted with cone nozzles operated at pressures that produce a MEDIUM to FINE spray. The following volumes per SPRAYED HECTARE are suggested as a guide, since the required volumes will vary with foliage density and size of the plants.
Carrots, Parsnips, Potatoes, Silver beet, Spinach: 400 litres on plants up to 10 cm tall, increasing to 1,000 to 1,200 litres on mature plants.
Cucurbits, Lettuce: 400 litres on plants up to 10 leaves, increasing to 1,000 to 1,200 litres on mature plants.
Brassicas, Trellis Tomatoes: 400 litres on plants up to 10 leaves, increasing to 1,200 to 1,500 litres on mature plants.
Beans, Capsicums, Celery, Faba Beans, French Beans, Peas, Rhubarb, Bush Tomatoes: 400 litres on plants up to 15 cm tall, increasing to 1,000 to 1,200 litres on mature plants.
Red Beet: 400 litres on plants up to 8 leaves, increasing to 800 litres on mature plants.

Concentrate Sprays:
Kocide Blue Xtra™ may be applied to vegetables at lower water volumes than those specified for dilute application, provided the CONCENTRATION of Kocide Blue Xtra™ is INCREASED in inverse proportion to the reduction in volume from the specified dilute volume. EXAMPLE: if the spray volume is half the specified dilute rate. Spray volumes for concentrate sprays should not be less than 1/3 of the equivalent dilute volume. Thus spray concentrations should not exceed 3 times the dilute concentration. Apply using a sprayer fitted with cone nozzles operated at pressures that produce a FINE spray. Refer to VEGETABLES: DILUTE SPRAYS for dilute volumes.

Rhubarb Dip
Dispose of the spent dip solution in a disposal pit. See Storage and Disposal for details.

Wetting Agents
The addition of a wetting agent is required when Kocide Blue Xtra is being applied to BRASSICAS, FABA BEANS, PEAS and ONION, irrespective of the method of application. The addition of a wetting agent is also required when Kocide Blue Xtra is applied as a concentrate spray or by aircraft. Add a Wetting Agent at label rates when suitable for these purposes, irrespective of the spray volume applied. Where a wetting agent is not required for Kocide Blue Xtra, one may be added if required for other pesticides.

Application by aircraft
Apply in a minimum of 20 L of water per hectare. May be applied with hydraulic nozzles or rotary atomisers operated to produce droplets with a V.M.D. of around 150 microns. Avoid application in calm or very windy conditions or when temperature and humidity cause rapid drying. To ensure good spray coverage, applications should ideally be made in a light crosswind.

Compatibility
DuPont Kocide Blue Xtra is compatible with most insecticides/pyrethroids, dormant spraying oils, mancozeb, Ziram, Wettable Sulphur and Urea. Mixtures with more than one of the above products is not recommended. Such mixtures may be ineffective or may cause serious damage. DuPont Kocide Blue Xtra may NOT be compatible with some foliar fertilisers and a test should be conducted before use. Always add Kocide Blue Xtra to the spray solution and dissolve before other products are added.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
Single rinse before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Puncture and bury empty bags in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty bags and product should not be burnt.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
RESTRAINTS
