GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
Mycloss Xtra Fungicide is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 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 product and other Group 3 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, Dow AgroSciences accepts no liability for any losses that result from failure of this product to control resistant fungi.
Fungicide Resistance Management Strategy
1. Apply no more than 3 Group 3 sprays per season.
2. Use a non-Group 3 fungicide for mid to late season control of powdery mildew.

MIXING
Two-thirds fill the spray tank with water and agitate or stir while adding the required quantity of Mycloss Xtra Fungicide. Add other products after Mycloss Xtra Fungicide has been fully mixed. Top up spray tank to the required level and agitate before commencing spraying.

APPLICATION in VINEYARDS
Mycloss Xtra Fungicide may be applied with conventional drive past orchard sprayers. DO NOT apply by aircraft.

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 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.
For grapevines, a minimum volume of 800 L/ha pre-flowering and 1000 to 1500 L/ha from flowering onwards is recommended.

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) for the crop canopy or consult your local adviser, agronomist or Department of Agriculture to determine this volume. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.
The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:
Concentrate Spraying Example
1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1000 L/ha
2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha
3. The concentration factor in this example is: 2X (ie 1000 L ÷ 500 L = 2)
4. If the dilute label rate is 16 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 16, that is 32 mL/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 rate higher than that specified in the CRITICAL COMMENTS.
For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

COMPATIBILITY
Mycloss Xtra Fungicide may be mixed with some formulations of the following chemicals: metiram, phosphorus acid, mancozeb + benalaxyl and wettable sulphur. Before preparing tank mixes of Mycloss Xtra Fungicide with other products, the user is advised to check the manufacturers’ recommendations on the product labels. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Dow AgroSciences Australia Ltd, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

Export of Treated Fruit
Growers should note that MRLs or import tolerances do not exist in all markets for fruit treated with Mycloss Xtra Fungicide.
Additionally, some export markets have established MRLs different to those in Australia. If you are growing grapes for export (either fresh, dried or wine), please check with your exporter or the Australian Wine Research Institute for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using Mycloss Xtra Fungicide.

PRECAUTION: Re-entry Period
DO NOT enter treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC gloves and footwear. Grape girdling should not be performed for 4 days after application, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing), elbow-length PVC gloves and footwear.
