WHEAT
Disease: Leaf Rust (Puccinia recondita, Puccinia triticina), Yellow Spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis), Septoria Nodorum Blotch (Phaeosphaeria nodorum), Stem Rust (Puccinia graminis), Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis)
Rate: 420-840 mL/ha
Critical comments: Apply when conditions favour disease development and prior to development of high levels of disease in the crop. Aim to apply between stem elongation and complete ear emergence (Z32-59). Use the higher rate when disease is present on the top leaf or conditions are favourable for development during these stages of crop development.
Regularly monitor the crop 3-4 weeks post-application. Repeat spraying may be required, particularly if infection occurs early.

Disease: Powdery Mildew (Blumeria graminis tritici)
Rate: 420-840 mL/ha
Critical comments: Apply at the first sign of the disease during the tillering stage (Z21-22). Regularly monitor the crop 3-4 weeks post-application. Apply a second spray if infection pressure persists.

BARLEY
Disease: Leaf Rust (Puccinia hordei), Leaf Scald (Rhynchosporium secalis), Net form of Net Blotch (Pyrenophora teres f. sp. Teres)
Rate: 420-840 mL/ha
Critical comments: Apply when conditions favour disease development and prior to the development of high levels of disease in the crop. Aim to apply from jointing (Z30) if disease is present and/or if conditions favour disease development.
Repeat spraying may be required, particularly if infection pressure persists. Regularly monitor the crop from 3-4 weeks after application for signs of re-infection.
Use the higher rate when disease pressure is high.
Do not apply later than Z59 as yield responses are unlikely.

Disease: Powdery Mildew (Blumeria graminis f. sp. hordei)
Rate: 420-840 mL/ha
Critical comments: Apply at the first sign of the disease during the tillering stage (Z21-22). Regularly monitor the crop 3-4 weeks post-application. Apply a second spray if infection pressure persists prior. Do not apply later than Z59 as yield responses are unlikely.

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

WITHHOLDING PERIODS
Grazing: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FEED FOR 6 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION.
Harvest: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 6 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION.

LIVESTOCK DESTINED FOR EXPORT MARKETS
The grazing withholding period only applies to stock slaughtered for the domestic market. Some export markets apply different standards. To meet these standards, ensure that in addition to complying with the grazing withholding period, the Export Slaughter Interval is observed before stock are sold or slaughtered.

EXPORT SLAUGHTER INTERVAL
After observing the withholding period for grazing or cutting for stock food, livestock that have been grazed on or fed treated crops should be placed on clean feed for 7 days prior to slaughter.

WARNING
DO NOT spray when conditions favour drift beyond the area intended for application. Conditions that may contribute to drift include thermal inversions, excessive wind speed, certain sprayer nozzle/pressure combinations, small spray droplet size etc.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Check the crop regularly for any symptoms of disease infection. Apply prior to or as soon as disease is present as indicated in the Directions for Use. The objective of spraying is to keep the upper 2-3 leaves, ear and stem green and functioning through grain filling. Economic responses may not be gained by spraying crops past flowering stage. Thorough coverage of the crop is necessary for best results.

Fungicide Resistance Warning
RADIAL® Fungicide is a combination of a DMI and Quinone outside Inhibitors (Qols) group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is both a Group 3 and a Group 11 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 and/or Group 11 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 epeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product or other Group 3 and/or Group 11 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, Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of RADIAL Fungicide to control resistant fungi.

APPLICATION
Mixing: Add the required quantity of RADIAL Fungicide to water in the spray vat while stirring or with agitators in motion. Rinse the empty container with water and add rinsings to spray tank.
Ground Application: Apply in a water volume of between 50 and 100 L/ha using a medium quality spray. Use the higher water volume in crops with heavier canopies.
Aerial Application: Apply with suitable aircraft, set up and operated to apply fungicides to cereal crops in a water volume of between 20 and 30 L/ha using a medium quality spray. Use the higher water volume in crops with heavier canopies. Aircraft should fly as low as possible under the prevailing conditions to minimise drift.

COMPATIBILITY
For information on compatibility please contact your local reseller or Adama Australia Pty. Ltd. representative.

PRECAUTION
Re-entry period
DO NOT enter treated areas for low exposure activities, such as irrigation and scouting, until the spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
DO NOT enter treated areas for medium exposure activities, such as hand weeding and machine harvesting, until day 7, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
