For control of powdery mildew of melons (except watermelons), apples and ornamentals. Combines both eradicant and protectant action.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS:
DO NOT apply during abnormally hot, cold or slow drying conditions.
DO NOT use rates higher than those recommended as chlorosis of leaves and leaf fall may occur.

MELONS
(except watermelons)
Pest: Powdery Mildew
State: Qld, NT, NSW, ACT, WA only
Rate (mL/100L): 60 mL
WHP: 1 day
Critical comments: Spray thoroughly at 7 day intervals. Ensure thorough coverage.
Resistance Management: use a registered protectant fungicide until fruit set. However, if a scheduled spray is interrupted by, for example, rain, apply NIMROD in a tank mix with the protectant at the first opportunity. After fruit set, alternate or tank mix NIMROD applications with the protectant, or alternate NIMROD with other registered systemic fungicides. Systemic fungicides from 3 different activity groups should be used per crop.

RATE: In this table the rates given are for dilute spraying. For concentrate spraying, refer to the Application section.
Critical Comments: Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods.

APPLES
Pest: Powdery Mildew
State: All States
Rate (mL/100L): 40 mL
WHP: 7 days
Critical comments: Spray thoroughly at pink stage and thereafter at 10-14 day intervals, while disease persists, depending on the severity of the disease.
Rate (mL/100L): 60 mL
WHP: 7 days
Critical comments: When the disease is severe – shorten interval.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION

WITHHOLDING PERIODS
MELONS: DO NOT APPLY LATER THAN 1 DAY BEFORE HARVEST.
APPLES: DO NOT APPLY LATER THAN 7 DAYS BEFORE HARVEST.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Use a high volume spray, ensure all foliage and buds are thoroughly covered with spray. The efficacy of and plant tolerance to this product applied alone or in combination with compatible products may be effected by climatic conditions during and after application. This product or such combination should not be applied during abnormally hot, cold or slow drying conditions.

Fungicide Resistance Warning
Nimrod Fungicide is a member of the Hydroxy-(2-amino)-pyrimidine group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management Nimrod is a Group 8 fungicide.
Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Nimrod and other Group 8 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 Nimrod and other Group 8 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss.
Some fungal diseases may develop resistance to particular fungicides resulting in failure to control. This occurrence cannot be predicted and may occur at any time. It is not due to a fault in the product and Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to crops arising from resistance. However, resistance should not be assumed without first reviewing the method of application, the coverage and the timing of application.

Resistance strategy
To reduce the risk of resistance, it may be necessary to tank-mix or alternate this product with a different fungicide of an unrelated chemical group. Consult your district adviser or Adama representative for advice on suitable products.

Mixing
Half-fill spray tank with clean water, add the required amount of product and agitate during the completing of filling.

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 first 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 runoff.
The required dilute spray volume will change and the 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 (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 or consult your local advisor, 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:
Example only
1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: e.g. 1500 L/ha
2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: e.g. 500 L/ha
3. The concentration factor is 3 x (1500 ÷ 500 = 3)
4. If the dilute label rate is 40 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 40, i.e. 120 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.
For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training. Always follow Industry Best Practices.

Compatibility
Nimrod may be mixed in the spray vat with any one of the following products: Omite†, Pirimor†, Shirwet† 6003 and Endosan†. Nimrod must not be mixed with any other products or combinations. The efficacy of and plant tolerance to Nimrod applied alone or in combination with compatible products may be affected by climatic conditions during and after application. Nimrod or such combinations should not be applied during abnormally hot, cold or slow drying conditions.
