GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
REVUS is a fungicide from the mandelamide group with translaminar and protectant properties. REVUS is best used as a protective treatment program to prevent spore germination.

Mixing
REVUS is a Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation that mixes readily with water and is applied as a spray.
1. Partly fill the spray tank with water.
2. Start the agitation.
3. Add the correct amount of product to the spray tank with the agitation system running.
4. Continue agitation while topping up the tank with water and while spraying.
5. Use the spray mix as soon as possible after preparation.
A non-ionic surfactant may be mixed where it is required for other compatible products mixed with REVUS but is not necessary when applying REVUS alone.

Application
Ground Application only
Apply by high volume (dilute) sprayer or by concentrate sprayer. Ensure that the correct amount of REVUS is applied per hectare irrespective of the total spray volume applied. Total volume of spray mix applied should be sufficient to ensure thorough spray coverage is achieved.
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. 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 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.
Concentrate Spraying
Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer that 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 on previous page) 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 on previous page: for example 1,000 L/ha.
2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: for example 250 L/ha.
3. The concentration factor in this example is 4 x (ie 1,000 ÷ 250 L = 4).
4. If the dilute label rate is 40 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 4 x 40, that is 160 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 and follow industry Best Practices.

APVMA Compliance Instructions for Mandatory COARSE or Larger Droplet Size Categories
These instructions inform users of this chemical product how to lawfully comply with the requirement of a COARSE or larger spray droplet size category for spray application.
Spray droplet size categories are defined in the ASAE S572 Standard (newer name may also be shown as ASABE) or the BCPC guideline. Nozzle manufacturers may refer to one or both to identify droplet size categories, but for a nozzle to comply with this requirement, the manufacturer must refer to at least one.
Complying with the label requirement to use a specific droplet size category means using the correct nozzle that will deliver that droplet size category under the spray operation conditions being used. The APVMA has approved only the following specific methods for choosing the correct nozzle. Use one of the methods specified in these instructions to select a correct nozzle to deliver a COARSE or larger droplet size category.
Mandatory instructions for ground applications for COARSE droplet size or larger categories

USE ONLY nozzles that the nozzles’ manufacturer has rated to deliver a COARSE, a VERY COARSE or an EXTREMELY COARSE droplet size category as referenced to ASAE S572 or BCPC. Choose a nozzle specified to provide the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraints.
DO NOT use a higher spray system pressure than the maximum the manufacturer specifies for the selected nozzle to deliver the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraint.

Compatibility
REVUS is physically compatible with a wide range of products including Thiovit Jet, Topas 100 EC, Switch, Proclaim, Ridomil Gold MZ, Kocide Blue Xtra, Oxydul DF; however the biological compatibility of some mixtures may not have been fully tested under all environmental and biological conditions.
A mixture of REVUS with any other product may in some circumstances be ineffective or may cause damage.
If tank mixes are to be used observe all directions, precautions and limitations on all products to be used.
As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Syngenta, and the quality of water may vary with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

GROUP 40 FUNGICIDE

Fungicide Resistance Warning
REVUS Fungicide belongs to the mandelic acid amide sub-group of the carboxylic acid amide fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, the product is a Group 40 fungicide.
Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 40 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 or other Group 40 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, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.

Export Wine
Where this product will be used on grapes that will be used to produce wine destined for export markets, seek advice from the Australian Wine Research Institute or Syngenta Crop Protection to ensure the wine will meet the requirements of the intended importing country.
