GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: MISSILE Fungicide

Product Composition:

• MISSILE is a water dispersible granule prepack mixture of cyprodinil and fludioxonil.
• Cyprodinil is a systemic compound absorbed into the cuticle and waxy layers of leaves and fruit.
• Fludioxonil is the residual component that stays mainly on leaf and fruit surfaces.

APPLICATION:

• Ground Application Only: Ensure thorough coverage of foliage and fruit using equipment delivering a MEDIUM spray quality.
• Apply the correct amount of MISSILE per hectare irrespective of water application rate.

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high volumes of water up to the point of runoff.
• Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of runoff, avoiding excessive runoff.
• Determine the required water volume based on industry guidelines or expert advice.
• Add the specified amount of product per 100 L of water.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying, matched to the crop.
• Set up to achieve even coverage using your chosen water volume.
• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy to calculate concentrate mixing rate.
• Calculate concentrate rate based on dilute label rate and concentration factor.
• Adjust settings as the crop grows. Consult industry guidelines and Best Practices for concentrate spraying.

MIXING:

• MISSILE is a water dispersible granule (WG) fungicide that mixes readily with water.
• Partly fill the spray tank with water, start agitation, add the correct amount of product, and continue agitation while topping up with water.
• Add a non-ionic surfactant at registered rates (if required) at the completion of filling. Continue agitation during spraying.
• For tank mixing with other WG or WP formulations, ensure they are added and mixed before adding EC or SC products.

COMPATIBILITY:

• Compatible with Bugmaster Flowable, Delfin WG, MANZEB, Gusathion, Kelthane, Kocide, CHLORPOS, Polyram DF, Ridomil Gold Plus, Copper + Metalaxyl, Sanmite, Thiovit, Farmalinx Sulfur 800 WG, and Topas.
• Mixtures with more than one of the above are not recommended. Test mixtures before commercial quantities.
• May not be compatible with chlorothalonil.

Resistance Warning: FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

• MISSILE is both a Group 9 and a Group 12 fungicide (anilinopyrimidine and phenylpyrrole).
• Resistance may develop in individual fungi through normal genetic variability.
• Fungi resistant to MISSILE and other Group 9 and Group 12 fungicides may dominate if used repeatedly.
• Control may be reduced, resulting in yield loss.
• Incorporate MISSILE into a program with different modes of action fungicides. Alternate or mix fungicides for resistance management.
• Apply as part of a protective spray program. Do not wait until disease levels build up. Follow CropLife Fungicide Resistance Management Strategies for specific crops.
• Limit the use of fungicides from any activity group to a maximum of 1/3 of total applications per crop. Apply a maximum of 2 consecutive applications of MISSILE.
