General Instructions for Grochem Thiram 800 WG:

Foliar Application:

• Apply when conditions favor disease development or at the first sign of disease.
• It is a protectant fungicide, not effective against existing infections.
• Spray to achieve thorough coverage of stems, leaves, buds, and flowers.

Seed Dressing:

• Does not adversely affect germination if used as directed.
• When used with Rhizobium inoculum, apply fungicide first, let it dry, then apply inoculum.
• Sow into a moist seed-bed immediately after treatment to avoid reduction in nodulation.
• Seed flow characteristics may be altered; recalibrate the drill using treated seed.
• Clean equipment with water after use.
• DO NOT carry over treated seed from season to season.

Mixing for Foliar Application:

• Mixes readily with water; no pre-mixing required.
• Spray vat should be no more than 25% full during mixing.
• Vigorous agitation is required during product addition.
• Pour the product steadily; do not dump all at once.
• Add Spreadwet 600 Wetting Agent (16mL per 100 liters) after product dispersion.

High Volume Application:

• Mix specific rates per 100L water and spray to the "point of run-off."

Low Volume Application:

• Use specified rates per hectare with effective low-volume equipment.
• Aim for even droplet coverage over all plant surfaces.
• Water volumes may range from 30 to 500L/ha depending on crop and equipment.

Instructions for Avocado Crops:

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high water volumes up to the point of run-off.
• Set up for even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of first run-off.
• Determine water volume through tests or expert advice.
• Add the specified amount of product for each 100L of water.
• Spray to the point of run-off.
• Adjust dilute spray volume and sprayer setup as the crop grows.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying.
• Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy with chosen water volume.
• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy.
• Consult local advisors or Department of Agriculture for volume determination.
• Calculate concentrate mixing rate.

Example for Concentrate Spraying:

• Dilute spray volume: e.g., 1,500L/ha
• Chosen spray volume: e.g., 500L/ha
• Concentration factor: 3x (1,500L ÷ 500L)
• If dilute label rate is 200 g/100L, concentrate rate becomes 3 x 200, which is 600g/100L of concentrate spray.
• Adjust spray volume, product amount, and sprayer setup as the crop grows.

Compatibility:

• DO NOT mix with lime sulfur or Copper Sulfate/Lime Mix.

Resistance Warning:

• Group M3 Fungicide.
