GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING

To ensure even mixing, half-fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of Imtrade Roadster 500 EC Fungicide. If required, add compatible products and agitate thoroughly, then add the remainder of the water. Agitate again before spraying commences.

APPLICATION

Grapevines/Macadamia/Almond

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. Avoid 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 Imtrade Roadster 500 EC Fungicide specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100L 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 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:

  1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500L/ha

  2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500L/ha

  3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3X (i.e. 1500L ÷ 500L = 3)

  4. If the dilute label rate is 20 mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 20 (that is 60 mL of product per 100L water 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.

• For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training, and follow industry Best Practices.

Spray Volumes

For concentrate application, use a spray volume of at least 200 litres per hectare.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

Imtrade Roadster 500 SC Fungicide is a member of the strobilurin group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management Imtrade Roadster 500 EC Fungicide is a Group 11 Fungicide. Some naturally-occurring individual fungi resistant to Imtrade Roadster 500 EC Fungicide and other Group 11 Fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if Imtrade Roadster 500 EC Fungicide or other Group 11 Fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Imtrade Roadster 500 EC Fungicide or other Group 11 Fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since occurrence of resistant individuals is difficult to detect prior to use, Imtrade Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Imtrade Roadster 500 EC Fungicide to control resistant fungi.

PRECAUTIONS

• DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.

• RE-ENTRY PERIOD: DO NOT enter treated areas until spray has dried. If prior entry is necessary wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day's use.

• PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET CROPS: DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

• HIGHLY TOXIC TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS.

• DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

GROUP 11 FUNGICIDE

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

The method of disposal of the container depends on the container type. Read the Storage and Disposal instructions on the label that is attached to the container. Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. All other non-refillable containers: Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemical on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging for appropriate disposal to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers and product.

Envirodrum - Micro Matic Valve (110L)

Store the original sealed Envirodrum in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. DO NOT tamper with the Micro Matic valve or the security seal. DO NOT contaminate the Envirodrum with water or any other foreign matter. After each use of the product please ensure that the Micro Matic coupler, delivery system and hoses are disconnected, triple rinsed with clean water and drained accordingly. When the contents of the Envirodrum have been used, please return the empty Envirodrum to the point of purchase.

Refillable Containers (1000L only)

Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill or storage.
