DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
METTLE 210 ME FUNGICIDE is formulated as 210 grams of active ingredient per litre micro emulsion (ME). The active ingredient in METTLE 210 ME FUNGICIDE is tetraconazole, a triazole fungicide (Group 3) that works by inhibiting demethylation and other processes in sterol biosynthesis. Tetraconazole is a systemic, protectant and curative fungicide and is absorbed quickly into the plant tissue. Optimal disease control is achieved when METTLE 210 ME
FUNGICIDE is applied in a regularly scheduled spray program. METTLE 210 ME FUNGICIDE can be applied with a non-ionic surfactant at 0.2 – 0.25% v/v.

GROUND APPLICATION
Apply product in sufficient water for thorough coverage of foliage, vines and fruit. To obtain adequate coverage of typical agricultural crops, total spray volume usually will range from 200 to 1400 litres per hectare. Increase spray volume as plant growth increases. Spray coverage is affected by nozzle type and spacing, sprayer pressure, litres per hectare, applicator speed, and other factors.
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 S572.1) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

Airblast application:
DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT direct spray above plants to be treated. Turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and outer rows. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured outside of the treatment area on the upwind side.

AERIAL APPLICATION
Wheat, barley, corn and crop subgroup 20A (rapeseed/canola) only
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 S572.1) medium classification. Reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices. Nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotorspan.
Prior to aerial application, check aircraft for uniformity of spray pattern, spray swath width and output. Spray volumes of 50 litres/ha are generally optimum. If foliage is dense, use an output that will ensure optimum fungicide penetration. Spray swaths should be marked using flaggers who are in completely enclosed vehicles, by counting rows or by some other marking device.
Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label.
Label rates, conditions and precautions are crop specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment.
Ensure uniform application. To avoid streaked, uneven or overlapped application, use appropriate marking devices.
