PRODUCT INFORMATION

MIRAVIS Prime 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) DO NOT apply by air.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
DO NOT apply using handheld mistblower/airblast or handheld fogging equipment.

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.
DO NOT APPLY THROUGH CHEMIGATION.
Follow recommendations provided by local disease monitoring services or provincial spray calendars regarding the appropriate application timing for protectant fungicides in your area.
Cultural practices such as canopy management and removal of overwintered plant debris should be integrated with the use of fungicides to reduce disease incidence. Use the higher rate, and the shorter application interval under conditions of heavy infection pressure, on highly susceptible varieties, or when environmental conditions are favourable for disease development. DO NOT apply by air.
MIRAVIS Prime Fungicide treatments should be integrated into an overall disease management strategy that includes selection of varieties with disease tolerance, plant residue management, crop rotation, and proper timing and placement of fertilizer and irrigation. Fungicide applications should begin prior to disease infection and continue throughout the season following a resistance management strategy (see Resistance Management Recommendations).

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 and Biological Engineers (ASABE S572.1) fine classification.
Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.
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. The user should contact Syngenta Canada Inc. at 1-87-SYNGENTA (1-877-964-3682) for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specif ically recommended on this label.

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 Prime 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
• 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 ASABE 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 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.

Spraying Instructions
1. Water Volume: Apply in a minimum spray volume of 500 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 ASABE 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.

Buffer zones
Spot treatments using hand-held equipment DO NOT require a buffer zone.
The buffer zones specified in the table below are required between the point of direct application and the closest downwind edge of sensitive terrestrial habitats (such as grasslands, forestedareas, shelter belts, woodlots, hedgerows, riparian areas and shrublands) and sensitive freshwater habitats (such as lakes, rivers, sloughs, ponds, prairie potholes, creeks, marshes, streams, reservoirs and wetlands)
