FOR SUPPRESSION OF FUSARIUM HEAD BLIGHT (SCAB) AND CONTROL OF FOLIAR DISEASES ON WHEAT (SPRING, WINTER AND DURUM), BARLEY AND OATS

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
STORAGE: Store in a cool, dry place and in such a manner as to prevent cross contamination with other pesticides, fertilizers, food, and feed. Store in original container and out of the reach of children, preferably in a locked storage area.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
IMPORTANT: Read this entire label before using FUSE Foliar Fungicide. Ensure no bystanders are present during the application operation. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. Use mechanical flaggers only. Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
Spray Volume: FUSE Foliar Fungicide should be applied in a minimum of 100 litres of spray solution per hectare by ground sprayer or 47 litres of spray solution per hectare by aircraft spray equipment. Check equipment calibration frequently.
Chemigation: Do not apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
Mixing: Add the required amount of FUSE Foliar Fungicide into the spray tank while filling with water to the desired level. Operate the agitator while mixing. If other materials are added to the spray tank, the FUSE Foliar Fungicide should be thoroughly dispersed prior to the addition of other materials. FUSE Foliar Fungicide is recommended to be used with the registered non-ionic surfactant, Agral 90 or Agsurf at 0.125% vol/vol.
Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
Aerial application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.

SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT FOR AERIAL AND GROUND APPLICATIONS
For the protection of non-target habitats, overspray or drift to any body of water or other environmentally sensitive habitats must be avoided. Do not apply under conditions where drift to an unprotected person(s), occupied dwelling, or to food, forage, or other plantings can occur.
The interaction of many equipment- and weather-related factors determines the potential for spray drift. The applicator is responsible for considering all these factors when making application decisions.
1. SPRAY BOOM: For aerial applications, the spray boom should be mounted on the aircraft so as to minimize drift caused by wing tip vortices. The minimum practical boom length should be used and must not exceed 65% of the wing span or rotor diameter.
2. DROPLET SIZE: An important factor influencing drift is the droplet size. Small droplets (<150 to 200 microns) drift to a greater extent than large droplets. Within typical equipment specifications, applications should be made to deliver the largest droplet spectrum that provides sufficient control and coverage. Formation of very small droplets may be minimized by appropriate nozzle selection, by orienting nozzles away from the air stream as much as possible and by avoiding excessive spray boom pressure.
3. SPRAY HEIGHT: For aerial applications, spray should be released at the lowest height consistent with efficacy and flight safety. Applications more than 3 metres above the crop canopy should be avoided.
4. WIND: Do not apply during periods of dead calm, when winds are gusty or when wind speed is greater than 16 km/hour at flying height at the site of application. Use extreme caution when any body of water or other environmentally sensitive habitat is on downwind side of aircraft.
5. TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS: Do not make aerial or ground applications during temperature inversions. Drift potential is high during temperature inversions. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small suspended droplets to remain close to the ground and move laterally in a cloud. Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical mixing.
6. HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE: Low humidity and high temperatures increase the evaporation rate of spray droplets and therefore the likelihood of increased spray drift. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperature.

ROTATIONAL CROPS
Treated areas may be replanted immediately following harvest with any crop listed on this label. For crops not listed on this label, do not plants back within 120 days of last application
