GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Farmalinx RINKALS Fungicide is a systemic anilide fungicide recommended for the control of Bunch rot (Botrytis cinerea) in grapevines. Optimal disease control is achieved when used preventatively in a scheduled spray program and as part of a rotational strategy with other effective fungicides.

EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE:

• Check Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) or import tolerances in export markets before using RINKALS Fungicide.
• MRLs may vary between countries, and compliance with export regulations is crucial.

RESISTANT WEEDS WARNING:

• RINKALS Fungicide is a member of the oxathiin group (Group 7 Fungicide).
• Fungicide resistance management is essential, and the product should be used as part of an integrated pest management strategy.
• Some naturally occurring individual fungi may be resistant to RINKALS Fungicide. Continuous use may lead to resistant fungi dominating the population.

MIXING:

• Partially fill the spray tank with water and add RINKALS Fungicide while stirring.
• If required, add compatible products and agitate thoroughly.
• Continue agitation during tank filling.
• Agitate again before spraying commences.
• When tank mixing with other formulations, ensure proper mixing order, especially with water dispersible granule (WG) or wettable powder (WP) formulations.

APPLICATION:

DILUTE SPRAYING:

• Use a sprayer designed for high volumes of water up to the point of runoff, matched to the crop.
• Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of runoff, avoiding excessive runoff.
• Determine the required water volume based on test volumes, guidelines, or expert advice.
• Add the specified amount of RINKALS Fungicide per 100L of water and spray to the point of runoff.
• Adjust dilute spray volume and sprayer setup as the crop grows.

CONCENTRATE SPRAYING:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying (applies water volumes less than runoff) matched to the crop.
• Achieve even coverage with the chosen water volume.
• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy.
• Calculate the concentrate mixing rate based on the concentration factor.

COMPATIBILITY:

• RINKALS Fungicide is compatible with metiram (700 g/kg), mancozeb (750g/kg or 420g/L).
• Compatibility with other agricultural chemicals should be confirmed through a jar test.

RE-ENTRY PERIODS:

• Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried unless wearing appropriate protective clothing.
• Re-entry with cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrists, chemical-resistant gloves, and proper protective gear.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS, AND ENVIRONMENT:

• Toxic to aquatic life; prevent contamination of water sources.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:

• Store in the closed, original container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
• Triple-rinse containers before disposal, and do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site.
• Follow recycling or waste management facility guidelines for container disposal.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS:

• May irritate eyes; avoid eye contact.
• Wear appropriate protective clothing when handling and applying the product.
• Wash hands and contaminated clothing after use.
