GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT apply more than 6 sprays per season.

Note: For cereals, the flag-2 leaf is the 3rd last fully emerged leaf, i.e., the second leaf below flag.

Wheat – Stripe Rust – susceptible varieties – apply when 10% leaves infected.

Wheat – Stripe Rust – moderately susceptible varieties – apply when 15 to 20% leaves infected.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING

TITAN Propiconazole 250 EC Fungicide is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, TITAN Propiconazole 250 EC Fungicide is a Group 3 Fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 3 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 TITAN Propiconazole 250 EC Fungicide or other Group 3 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, TITAN AG Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of TITAN Propiconazole 250 EC Fungicide to control resistant fungi.

MIXING

Shake well before use. Fill the spray tank and then add concentrate. Mix well.

Pineapples – Preplant dip: Add the required amount of TITAN Propiconazole 250 EC Fungicide directly to the dip and mix well. Avoid excessive contamination of the dip with organic matter.

APPLICATION

TITAN Propiconazole 250 EC Fungicide may be applied by ground rig, high or low volume, or by air.

Cereals: May be applied by boom spray or aircraft. Ensure complete coverage of all leaves and stems is obtained. The objective of spraying is to control disease on the upper 2-3 leaves during grain filling. With aircraft, as a guide, apply 10-20L/ha with the lower rate being used when applications are made with a crosswind of not less than 5 knots. Use the higher rate when applying to dense crops.

Bananas: Apply by misting machine, airblast sprayer, or aircraft. Use a minimum of 30L water if applying by air.

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 for 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:

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

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

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

  4. If the dilute label rate is 10mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, that is 30mL/100L of concentrate spray.

• The chosen spray volume, the amount of product per 100L 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

TITAN Propiconazole 250 EC Fungicide may be mixed with any one of the registered products containing azinphos-methyl, chlorothalonil, copper oxychloride, demeton-s-methyl, diazinon, dimethoate, mancozeb, metalaxyl, methomyl, parathion, propargite, and zineb.

PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK

Low hazard to bees. No special precautions are required.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT

DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

Store in the closed, original container in a well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and bury empty containers in a local authority landfill. If no landfill is available, bury the containers below 500mm in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation, and tree roots. Empty containers and products should not be burnt.

RE-ENTRY PERIOD

DO NOT enter treated areas until the spray has dried.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS

Harmful if swallowed. Will damage the eyes. Will irritate the nose, throat, and skin. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin. DO NOT inhale vapor. When opening the container, preparing the spray wear cotton overall buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat and elbow-length PVC gloves, goggles, and disposable fume mask. When using the prepared spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves, and goggles. If the product gets in the eyes wash out immediately with water. If the product is on the skin, immediately wash the area with soap. Wash hands after use. After each day's use wash gloves, goggles, and contaminated clothing.
