GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:

• Product Registration: Zanoctine is not registered in all countries overseas. Check with a Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty Ltd representative before treating produce destined for export.

• Fungicide Resistance Strategy:

  • Zanoctine Liquid Fungicide is a Group M7 fungicide for fungicide resistance management.
  • Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Zanoctine and other Group M7 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population.
  • Resistant fungi may dominate the population with repeated use, leading to a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss.
  • Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty. Ltd. accepts no liability for losses resulting from the failure of Zanoctine to control resistant fungi.
  • AFRAC anti-resistance strategy for post-harvest dip:
    1. Handle fruit carefully to minimize potential infection sites caused by injury.
    2. Promptly remove diseased fruit from the field and packing house, and destroy it.
    3. Dip fruit promptly after harvest.
    4. Avoid storing fruit in the packing house – move it through the packing house quickly.
    5. Dispose of mouldy fungicide-treated fruit at harvest – do not bring it into the packing house.
    6. For the last pre-harvest spray, use a fungicide with a different mode of action than the one planned for use as a post-harvest dip.
    7. Rotate to use as many different modes of action as possible if alternatives are available.
    8. Remove mouldy fruit from storage and isolate it from other fruit.
    9. Do not move fruit between packing houses, especially mouldy fruit.

• Mixing:

  • Add the required amount of product/s to the water in the dip tank with thorough mixing between each addition.
  • Agitate the solution during the dipping process.
  • Dip ingredients MUST NOT be mixed together in concentrated form; add separately to the full volume of water in the dip tank.
  • To restore the original volume in the dip tank, add the required water and then the appropriate amounts of non-ionic wetting agent and Zanoctine.
  • Replace dip when dirt begins to accumulate.
  • Ensure the temperature of the fruit and dip solution is the same.

• Preparing Spray (Tomatoes only – non-recirculating spray):

  • Water should be at ambient temperature during application.
  • Apply as a very fine spray using hollow cone nozzles.
  • Apply sufficient spray to wet the entire surface of the fruit without causing significant runoff.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT:

• Dangerous to fish. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, or waterways with the chemical or used containers. Do not discharge waste liquid into streams.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL:

• Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
• Store in a locked room or place away from children, animals, food, feedstuffs, seed, and fertilizers.
• Triple or preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to the spray tank.
• Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace the cap and return clean containers to the 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 empty 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.
