PRODUCT INFORMATION

MIRAVIS Duo Fungicide is a broad spectrum, preventative fungicide recommended for the control or suppression of many important plant diseases, formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC). Read all label directions before use. All applications must be made according to the use directions that follow.

General Use Precautions
DO NOT USE IN GREENHOUSES (ALONE OR IN TANK MIXTURES) FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.

Ground Application
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) FINE classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

Mixing Instructions
1. Ensure that the sprayer interior is clean, then fill the spray tank with ½ the required amount of water and engage gentle agitation. Good agitation is indicated by a rippling or rolling action on the surface of the water.
2. Add MIRAVIS Duo Fungicide and agitate to ensure complete mixing.
3. Finish filling the sprayer with water, maintaining good agitation.
4. After any break in spraying operations, agitate thoroughly before spraying again.
5. Spray the pesticide suspension the same day as mixing.
6. Do not mix, load or clean spray equipment where there is a potential to contaminate wells or aquatic systems.
When using chemical handling equipment to fill the sprayer, the following additional recommendations apply:
• SC formulations may be inducted or batch mixed.

Spraying Instructions
1. Water Volume: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 150 L/ha OR the volume given in the crop and pest specific instructions tabulated below, whichever is LARGER.
2. Sprayer Agitation: Use a jet agitator or liquid sparge tube which recirculates 7-10% of the tank per minute. DO NOT use an air sparger.
3. Pump: Screens should be used to protect the pump and prevent clogging. Use 16 mesh or coarser screens on the suction side of the pump. DO NOT place a screen in the recirculation line. Use 50 mesh or coarser screens between the pump and boom unless directed otherwise by the sprayer manufacturer.
4. Spray Nozzles: 80° or 110° drift reducing flat fan (e.g. those with a pre-orifice or turbulence chamber) or air induction nozzles are recommended. Use 50 mesh nozzle screens or as recommended by the nozzle manufacturer. DO NOT use flood type nozzles, controlled droplet application equipment, spray foils or hollow cone nozzles.
5. Pressure: As recommended by the nozzle manufacturer to achieve no smaller than ASAE fine sized droplets.
6. Apply at uniform speed and avoid overlapping. Shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to avoid potential crop injury from over application.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in overly fine particles (mist). DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. DO NOT spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.

Before Spraying
• Prior to using MIRAVIS Duo Fungicide, ensure that the spray tank, lines and filter are thoroughly clean.

After Spraying
• Thoroughly clean application equipment immediately after spraying. DO NOT allow MIRAVIS Duo Fungicide residue to dry within the spray tank.
• The following recommendations are provided:
1. Drain and flush tank walls, boom and all hoses for ten minutes with a clean water/detergent mixture. Rinse with clean water. DO NOT clean the sprayer near desirable vegetation, wells or other water sources.
2. Remove all nozzles and screens and wash separately.
3. Dispose of all rinsate in accordance with provincial regulations.
In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury.

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.

Spraying Instructions
1. Water Volume: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 375 L/ha OR the volume given in the crop and pest specific instructions tabulated below, whichever is LARGER. Water volume should exceed the minimum recommendation at later stages of fruit development.
2. Spray Quality: Select nozzles and pressure to achieve a minimum of ASAE fine sized droplets.
3. Spray Distribution: Select nozzles, orient deflectors, and adjust air speed and volume to ensure only the canopy is sprayed. Spray should just reach the top of the target.
Account for the shape and canopy density of the target when setting spray distribution.
4. Apply at uniform speed and avoid overlapping. Shut off spray boom while starting, turning, slowing or stopping to avoid potential crop injury from over application.
Coarse sprays are less likely to drift, therefore, avoid combinations of pressure and nozzle type that will result in overly fine particles (mist). DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm or when wind velocity and direction pose a risk of spray drift. DO NOT spray when the wind is blowing towards a nearby sensitive crop, garden, terrestrial habitat (such as shelter-belt) or aquatic habitat.

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 wingor rotorspan.
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 product specific. Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. When no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment.

Mixing Instructions
Mixing this product directly in the aircraft hopper IS NOT recommended. The use of chemical handling or managing equipment to load the hopper IS recommended. This product MAY BE inducted into a hopper which is prefilled with water or when the product and water are mixed prior to entering the hopper. This product MAY BE batch mixed and pumped into the hopper. In all cases the chemical handling equipment and hopper interior must be clean prior to use.
Follow the mixing order outlined below:
1. Pump water into the hopper to at least ¼ to ½ of the desired spray volume. Engage hopper circulation, if possible.
2. Induct or thoroughly batch mix MIRAVIS Duo Fungicide.
3. Pump batch mixed into the hopper.
4. Finish filling the hopper with water.
5. If it was not possible to engage hopper agitation in Step 1, do so as soon as possible once airborne.
6. Spray the pesticide suspension the same day as mixing.
7. Do not mix, load or clean equipment where there is a potential to contaminate wells or aquatic systems.
NOTE: MIRAVIS Duo Fungicide MAY BE inducted or batch mixed.
