GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Fungicide Resistance Warning Sindon 500 SC Fungicide is a member of the dicarboximide group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, the product is a Group 2 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 2 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 this product or other Group 2 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, Sinon Australia Pty Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.

Resistance Management Rotate use of this product with as many different modes of action as possible to reduce the possibility of resistance development where alternatives are available. Where specific resistance management strategies are established, these are detailed on the CropLife Australia website (http://www.croplifeaustralia.org.au) or from your local agronomist.

Export of Treated Produce Growers should note that MRLs or import tolerances may not exist in all markets for produce treated with Sindon 500 SC. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Sinon Australia Pty Ltd for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using Sindon 500 SC.

Mixing Note: Sindon 500 SC may be unstable in conditions where the pH is 7 or higher. It is therefore essential to check the pH of the spray solution before adding Sindon 500 SC. A suitable registered buffering agent may have to be added to bring the pH down below 7. Add the required amount of Sindon 500 to the spray tank containing half the required volume of water. Mix thoroughly and make up to the required volume with water.

Application Good disease control requires even, thorough coverage of the target area. Application should be made using appropriate spray equipment and sufficient water to provide adequate penetration and coverage. Equipment settings and water volume may need to vary, depending on the growth stage of the crop.

Special Instructions for Tree Crops/Vines Dilute Spraying Use a sprayer designed to apply high spray volumes, 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 spray solution to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required spray volume to achieve the point of run-off may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, or from industry guidelines or other expert advice. Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use Table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. The required dilute spray volume to achieve the point of run-off 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 spray 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 spray 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: EXAMPLE ONLY

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

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

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

4. If the dilute label rate is 10mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, that is, 30 mL of product per 100L water for concentrate spraying. 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.

Compatibility Sindon 500 SC is compatible with the following products: *Aliette WG (see NOTE below), Bugmaster Flowable, calcium chloride, chlorpyrifos 500 EC, copper oxychloride, dimethoate, Dithane, Dithane M-45, endosulfan, Kelthane EC, maldison, metalaxyl, methomyl or parathion-methyl. When tank mixing products the order of mixing is determined by formulation type. As a guide, the following mixing sequence is recommended: 1. Wettable powders 2. Suspension concentrates 3. Water Dispersible Granules 4. Suspo-emulsions (e.g., Sindon 500 SC) 5. Soluble powders 6. Solutions 7. Emulsifiable concentrates 8. Soluble concentrates 9. Wetting agents and oils. With any mixture, thoroughly agitate immediately before applying. It is not recommended to mix this product with more than one of the above chemicals in the tank. The use of a surfactant or spray oil is not recommended with Sindon 500 SC as it may result in crop damage to sensitive plants. DO NOT mix with fertilisers. NOTE: Mixing Sindon 500 SC with Aliette WG may result in some settling out. As formulations of other manufacturers' products are beyond the control of Sinon Australia Pty Limited, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply the products under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment that may cause spray drift onto nearby plants/ crops, cropping lands or pasture.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Toxic to aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Keep out of reach of children. Store in the closed, original container in a secure, cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Protect from frost. This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Dispose of rinsate by adding it to the spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with the cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection point or similar container management program site. The cap should not be replaced but may be taken separately. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the empty containers below 500 mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots. Empty containers and product should not be burnt. For Refillable containers (110L): Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill or storage.
