GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING: This product is suitable for application through conventional spray equipment calibrated to ensure thorough crop coverage. Add the required amount of product to the partially filled spray tank with the agitator running and complete filling the tank with water. Do not mix with alkaline water. Continue thorough agitation during spraying and after stoppage. Do not let prepared spray solution sit in the tank overnight.

APPLICATION - Dilute Spraying (Tree and Vine Crops only): 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, avoiding 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.

APPLICATION - Concentrate Spraying (Tree and Vine Crops only): 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. 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: For example 1500L/ha 2. Your chosen spray volume: For example 500L/ha 3. The concentration factor in this example is; 3X (i.e. 1500L divided by 500L = 3) 4. If the dilute label rate is 10 mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, that is 30 mL/100L of concentrate spray. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100L 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 specified in the Critical Comment. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

TANK MIXTURES: Read and follow all label directions including application rates and safety directions for the tank mix products.

WETTING AGENT: Add a non-ionic surfactant at the rate directed on the wetting agent label.

RESISTANCE WARNING: Genfarm Proflex 500 Fungicide is a member of the dicarboximide group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, this product is a Group 2 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 2 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product and other Group 2 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, Landmark Operations Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi. Specific resistance management strategies for dicarboximide fungicides can be found on the Croplife Australia website.

PRECAUTIONS: DO NOT use treated seed for human consumption. Do not allow treated seed to contaminate grain or other seed intended for animal or human consumption. When treated seed is stored, it should be kept apart from other grain, and the bags or other containers should be clearly marked to indicate that the contents have been treated with this product. Bags or containers which have held treated seed are not to be used for any other purpose. Re-entry into treated areas is not allowed until the spray has dried. If prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, elbow-length chemical-resistant gloves, and goggles.
