For the control of Powdery mildew in field grown Capsicums, Cucurbits, Grapes, and Tomatoes as per the Directions for Use

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
GROUP 13 FUNGICIDE
DuPont Talendo fungicide is an emulsifiable concentrate containing 200 g/L proquinazid for the control of grape powdery mildew. Proquinazid is a new quinazolinone fungicide with a novel mode of action; it acts preventively on grape powdery mildew by inhibiting spore germination and appressorium formation.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING
DuPont Talendo fungicide is a member of the Quinazolinone group of fungicides. For resistance management the product is a Group 13 fungicide.
Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Group 13 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 13 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, DuPont accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.

Mixing Instructions:
Ensure the spraying equipment is clean and properly calibrated prior to application. DuPont Talendo mixes easily with water and should be added directly to the spray tank during filling. Washout container and add washings to the spray tank. Continue agitation until spraying is complete.

Mixing Order
The mixing sequence recommended is: water soluble bags, dry flowable or water dispersible granules, wettable powders, water based suspension concentrates, water soluble concentrates, oil based suspension concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates such as Talendo fungicide, soluble fertilisers.

Application
Apply to Cucurbits by boom equipment using spray volumes between 250 to 500 L/ha.
Apply to Capsicums and Tomatoes by boom equipment using spray volumes between 250 to 1500 L/ha. Ensure sufficient volume of water is used to achieve thorough coverage.

Dilute spraying
Use a sprayer fitted with high flow rate nozzles to apply the highest practical spray volume. Nozzles with higher rated flows produce larger droplets. Use the lower spray pressures recommended for the nozzle. Higher pressure reduces droplet size, DOES NOT improve canopy penetration and may increase drift potential. WHEN HIGHER FLOW RATES ARE NEEDED, USE A HIGHER-CAPACITY NOZZLE INSTEAD OF INCREASING PRESSURE. Use a nozzle type that is designed for the intended application. With most nozzle types, narrower spray angles produce larger droplets. Consider using low-drift nozzles.
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 runoff. 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 for Use table for each 100 L 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.
Always apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of runoff, otherwise under dosing will occur and disease control may be inadequate.

Concentrate Spraying (Grapes only)
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
Dilute spray as determined above: For example 1500 L/ha. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha. The concentration factor in this example is 3X (i.e 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3). If the dilute label rate is 25 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 25, that is 75 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 technical information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow Industry Best Practices.

Wetting Agents
Not required

COMPATIBILITY
DuPont Talendo fungicide can be tank mixed with most fungicides and insecticides used in grapes, such as:
Fungicides: Kocide Opti, Kocide Blue Xtra, mancozeb, Rubigan*, boscalid, pyrimthanil.
Insecticides: Avatar, formulations containing Bacillius thuringiensis.
However, since the formulations of products are always changing, it is advisable to test the physical compatibility of desired tank mixes and check for adverse effects like settling out or flocculation. To determine the physical compatibility, add the recommended proportions of the tank mix products to water, mix thoroughly and allow to stand for 20 minutes. If the combination remains mixed, or can be re-mixed readily, it is considered physically compatible.
The crop safety of all potential tank-mixes, including additives and other pesticides, on all crops has not been tested. Before applying any tank-mixture not specifically recommended on this label or other DuPont supplemental labelling, the safety to the target crop must be confirmed. To test for crop safety, apply the combination to a small area of the target crop in accordance with the label instructions to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur.

RAINFASTNESS
DuPont Talendo is rainfast two hours after application.

RE-ENTRY STATEMENT
DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

DuPont Talendo fungicide has no curative activity and does not control existing infections (including Powdery mildew between infection and visible stage).
Apply Talendo Fungicide or at the first sign of infection and repeat at 10 - 14 day intervals using the shorter interval during periods of heavy infection pressure.
DO NOT apply more than three (3) applications to any crop in any one season. No more than two (2) consecutive sprays should per crop. As a precaution, DO NOT exceed more than one third of the total Powdery mildew spray program with Talendo fungicide. Further treatments should be made with fungicides from a different fungicide group.

FRUITING VEGETABLES:
Capsicums, Tomatoes (Field grown only)
Disease: Powdery mildew (Leveillula taurica)
Rate: 500 mL/ha
Critical Comments: Use as a protectant treatment only.
Talendo fungicide has no curative activity and does not control existing infections (including powdery mildew between infection and visible stage).Apply Talendo fungicide at the first sign of infection and repeat at 7 - 14 day intervals using the shorter interval during periods of heavy infection pressure.
DO NOT use more than three (3) applications to any crop in any one season. No more than two (2) consecutive sprays per crop. Further treatments should be made with fungicides from a different fungicide group.

All rates are for dilute spraying. For concentrate spraying rates, refer to the Mixing/Application section. If using concentrate application, apply the same total amount of product to the target crop.

GRAPES
Disease: Powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator)
Rate: 
Dilute Spraying: 25 mL/100 L water
Concentrate Spraying: Refer to the Mixing/Applicatio n Section 
Critical Comments: Use as a protectant treatment only.
