Complete filling of the spray tank under constant agitation. DO NOT allow the spray mixture to remain in the tank for long periods without agitation.

Application Equipment: NOT to be applied by aircraft.

• Grapevines: Protector 400SC can be applied using suitable dilute or concentrate ground application equipment, ensuring penetration of the canopy and coverage of flowers or bunches.
• Strawberries: Protector 400SC can be applied using suitable high or low volume application equipment, ensuring penetration of the canopy and coverage of flowers and/or fruit.
• Ornamentals: Protector 400SC can be applied using suitable high volume ground or hand-held application equipment, ensuring penetration of the canopy and coverage of foliage and flowers.

Water Volume:

• Grapevines: Refer to Special Instructions for Grapevines.
• Strawberries: Use water volumes of 350 to 1000L/ha depending on equipment and crop stage to ensure adequate penetration of the canopy and coverage of foliage, flowers, and/or fruit.
• Ornamentals: Apply Protector 400SC to the point of "run-off" to ensure adequate penetration of the canopy and coverage of the foliage and flowers.

Special Instructions for Grapevines:

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high spray volumes, up to the point of run-off, and matched to the crop.
• Set up and operate the sprayer for even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Apply sufficient spray volume to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off.
• Adjust the product amount if more than 1000L/ha is required to ensure no more than 2.0L/ha product is applied.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying and matched to the crop.
• Set up and operate the sprayer for even coverage throughout the crop canopy using the chosen spray volume.
• Calculate the mixing rate for concentrate spraying based on your chosen spray volume per hectare.

Resistance Management Strategy: Protector 400SC is a Group 9 fungicide. Adhere to CropLife resistance management strategies:

• Follow specified limitations on the number of sprays containing Group 9 fungicides.
• Alternate applications of Group 9 fungicides with effective fungicides from other groups.
• Late-season fungicide treatments should be applied before infection reaches unacceptable levels.

Export of Treated Produce: Check with Nufarm Australia Limited or the Australian Wine Research Institute for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using Protector 400SC for export.
