GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

Mixing:
Shake well before use. Half fill the spray tank with water. Pour in the required quantity of Xivana Prime 20 SC Fungicide with agitators running, then top up with water. Use spray mixture immediately after preparation, do not allow it to stand.

Application:
Application should be by vertical sprayer or backpack sprayer equipment only. Thorough coverage of the target area is essential. Apply in sufficient water and use suitable application equipment to ensure thorough and even coverage of leaves and fruit. Adjust water volumes according to the crop growth stage.

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed to apply high spray volumes, 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 spray volume to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off.

• 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 to achieve the point of run-off will change, and the sprayer setup 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 spray 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 spray volume.

• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

• The chosen spray volume, the amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows.

Adjuvant:
Apply Xivana Prime with a spray adjuvant such as MaxxTM, Pulse® Penetrant, or Hasten®. Apply the adjuvant at the recommended label rate. For alternative adjuvants, please contact Bayer Crop Science for more information.

Sprayer Clean Up:
If clean up of spray equipment is required, rinse equipment twice with clean water after use.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING:
Xivana Prime 20 SC Fungicide is a member of the piperidinyl thiazole isooxazoline group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, the product is a Group 49 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 49 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 49 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, Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi. Xivana Prime may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. For further information contact your local supplier, Bayer Crop Science representative, local agricultural department agronomist, or refer to the CropLife Australia website.

COMPATIBILITY:
For information on the compatibility of Xivana Prime with other products, contact your local Bayer Crop Science representative.

PRECAUTIONS:
Re-entry period: DO NOT enter treated areas until the spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS, AND ENVIRONMENT:
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or watercourses with this product or used containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:
Keep out of reach of children. Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to the recycler or designated collection point. 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 specially 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. Do not re-use empty containers for any other purpose.
