GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
DO NOT use concentration factors exceeding 4X when applying through low volume application equipment, except when applying SMART AZ 250 FUNGICIDE by air. In these cases, adequate coverage of all plant surfaces is still required to achieve control of diseases.

TREE CROPS AND VINES
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 product specified in the Directions of 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:
Example only

1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: for example 1000 L/ha

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

3. The concentration factor in this example is: 2 x (ie 1000 L ÷ 500 L = 2)

4. If the dilute label rate is 80 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 80; 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.

MIXING
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Ensure product is agitated to mix thoroughly before use. Whilst filling the remainder of the spray tank add the required amount of SMART AZ 250 FUNGICIDE, adding any tank-mix products last. Maintain agitation until spraying is complete. DO NOT leave the spray mix in the sprayer overnight.

Compatibility/Tank Mixing
A mixture of Smart AZ 250 Fungicide with more than 1 of other products may be ineffective or may cause serious damage. The use of such a mixture is not recommended and would therefore be entirely at the user’s risk.
If tank mixes are to be used observe all directions, precautions and limitations on all products to be used. As formulations of other manufacturers’ products are beyond the control of Crop Smart Pty Ltd, and water quality varies with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.
Note: On some tomato varieties, tank mixtures of Smart AZ 250 Fungicide and Chlorpyrifos EC or fenthion or methidathion or dicofol have been found to be phytotoxic.
DO NOT tank mix these products with Smart AZ 250 Fungicide
On some grape varieties, tank mixtures of Smart AZ 250 Fungicide and Chlorpyrifos 500 EC have been found to be phytotoxic.
DO NOT tank mix Smart AZ 250 Fungicide with Chlorpyrifos 500 EC for use in grapes.

EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE
Grapes
While Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) have been set in many major wine export destinations, some export destinations have not finalised MRL applications. For further information regarding export tolerances please contact your winery, Crop Smart Pty Ltd representative or the Australian Wine Research Institute.
Other Crops
While Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) have been set in many major export destinations, it should be noted that MRLs or import tolerances may not be established in all export destinations. For further information regarding export tolerances please contact your export organisation or Crop Smart representative.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
GROUP 11 FUNGICIDE
SMART AZ 250 FUNGICIDE is a member of the Quinone outside Inhibitors (Qols). For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 11 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product 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 these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product or other Group 11 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, Crop Smart 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
HIGHLY TOXIC TO AQUATIC LIFE. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with this product or used containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store in direct sunlight.
For drumMUSTER containers: This container can be recycled if it is clean, dry, free of visible residues and has the drumMUSTER logo visible. Triple-rinse container for disposal. Dispose of rinsate by adding it to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemical on site. Wash outside of the container and the cap. Store cleaned container in a sheltered place with cap removed. It will then be acceptable for recycling at any drumMUSTER collection or similar container management program site. The cap should not be replaced but may be taken separately.
For non-refillable containers: If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm 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 or product.
For refillable containers: Empty contents fully into application equipment. Close all valves and return to point of supply for refill or storage.
