General Instructions
Mixing: Add the required amount of Shiba to the partly filled 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 spray tank overnight.
Disease Management Principles: Use of fungicides for management of diseases should always be considered in conjunction with cultural turf management practices to optimize turf health regarding soil fertility, moisture-holding capacity, drainage, and pH. Turf stress will result in sub-optimal disease control from fungicide applications. Avoid overlapping sprays. For leaf and crown diseases, application volume should be sufficient to ensure even and thorough coverage of turf leaves and penetration into the crown. Use a minimum of 400L water. For root diseases, the spray needs to reach the soil zone, so higher water volumes and coarse droplets may be required followed by sufficient irrigation (up to 10mm of water) to ensure correct placement.
Fungicide Resistance Warning: Group 14 Fungicide: For fungicide resistance management, Shiba is a Group 14 Fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Shiba and other Group 14 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 repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Shiba or any other Group 14 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction of efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Sumitomo Chemical Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.
Protection of Wildlife, Fish, Crustaceans, and Environment: Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with this product or used containers.
Precautions: Not to be used by equipment carried on the back of the user.
Re-entry Statement: Do not enter treated areas 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 allow for public access to treated areas until spray has dried.
