GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

• Pacific Tebuconazole 430 SC Fungicide is a Group 3 Fungicide, a member of the DMI group.
• Resistance management is crucial to prevent dominance of resistant fungi populations.
• Some naturally occurring individual fungi may be resistant; Pacific Agriscience Pty Ltd is not liable for losses due to resistance.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS – PEANUTS

• Apply a maximum of 3 consecutive sprays of DMI fungicides (e.g., tebuconazole) before switching to a non-DMI fungicide.
• Apply a maximum of 5 DMI sprays per season.

SPECIAL WARNING – BANANAS

• Bag emerged bunches in circumstances where application to rapidly growing fruit in hot conditions with strong direct light to minimize risk of fruit marking.
• Do not include adjuvants other than water miscible oils with Pacific Tebuconazole 430 SC Fungicide sprays; wetting agents can cause phototoxicity to young fruit.

FOLIAR DISEASES ON CEREAL CROPS

• Do not apply to cereal crops more than once in a season; treatment provides approximately three weeks of disease suppression.
• Economic response may not be gained by spraying crops past the flowering stage.
• Effects of fungicide application may take 7-10 days to become evident.
• Economic responses are most likely with crops with a potential yield of over 3 t/ha.

SPRAY TIMINGS FOR STRIPE RUST CONTROL

• Refer to advisory literature from the Department of Agriculture for classification of resistant and susceptible varieties.
• Seedling Infections: Apply a spray when approximately 20 out of 100 leaves show signs of infection during tillering or jointing.
• Adult Infections:
  • Susceptible Varieties: Apply a spray when approximately 10 out of 100 leaves show the first sign of infection.
  • Moderately Susceptible Varieties: Apply a spray when approximately 15-20 out of 100 leaves show the first sign of infection; do not delay.
  • Moderately Resistant and Resistant Varieties: Monitor carefully, and if rust appears and spreads, spray within 1 week.
