GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Foliar diseases on cereal crops:

Monitor the crop regularly for symptoms of disease. Generally spray at the first sign of disease, although this will depend on factors such as expected weather conditions and the particular crop variety resistance. Refer to Directions for Use for particular disease recommendations. Up to two sprays of AC Mightyzole 420 may be applied per season to the crop. Ensure good coverage of all susceptible plant parts.

Disease control in oats:

Caution: Application of tebuconazole (present in AC Mightyzole 420) to some varieties of oats may result in early senescing and bronzing of leaves. Varieties most at risk may also exhibit this trait under various stress conditions not related to fungicide sprays. Mitika variety of oats has been identified as being susceptible to this condition when tebuconazole is applied, although other varieties may also be susceptible. The potential disease control to be achieved by using AC Mightyzole 420 in Mitika oats should be weighed against the risk of crop damage. For further information on oat tolerance, contact Axichem.

Disease control in canola:

Blackleg: Higher blackleg risk can be expected in higher rainfall districts (above 500 mm annual rainfall), where crops are grown within 500 m of a previous year’s stubble and in later sown crops (May to August). Up to two sprays of AC Mightyzole 420 may be applied per season to the crop.

Sclerotinia: AC Mightyzole 420 is most effective when application is made prior to conditions conducive to sclerotinia infection. Infection and disease development are most conducive in warmer winter or spring conditions with extended periods of leaf wetness due to rainfall, dew, and high humidity. Control of sclerotinia stem rot is more effective in crops which have a uniform flowering. Uneven flowering may require two sprays. Generally, a single application at 20 to 30% flowering will control sclerotinia in crops with a short flowering interval. Crops with an extended flowering period may require a second application prior to 50% flowering.

Disease control in pyrethrum:

Apply only as instructed by the pyrethrum adviser.

Mixing:

Prior to pouring, shake the container vigorously, then add the required quantity of AC Mightyzole 420 to water in the spray vat with agitators in motion. Add the required amount of adjuvant if necessary and mix thoroughly.

Application:

Ground:

• Wheat, barley, oats, and triticale: Apply product using a spray volume of 70 – 100 L/ha and a MEDIUM spray quality.

• Canola: Apply product using a spray volume of 60 – 100 L/ha and a MEDIUM spray quality.

• Pyrethrum: Apply product using a spray volume of 250 L/ha or above and a MEDIUM spray quality.

Aerial: (not pyrethrum) Apply product using a minimum spray volume of 20 L/ha and a MEDIUM spray quality.

Compatibility:

For information on compatibility, please contact Axichem Pty Ltd.

USE OF ADJUVANT:

Depending on the disease that is to be treated in the crop, some benefit in efficacy may be gained from the addition of an appropriate adjuvant to the spray mixture. Follow these guides when deciding on the addition of an adjuvant to the tank mixture prior to spraying.
