SECTION 9: APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS and USE LIMITATIONS
9.1 GENERAL REMINDERS FOR SUCCESSFUL OPERATION
- DO NOT apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application.
- To avoid spray drift, do not apply when winds exceed 16 kph.
- Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity such as houses, cottages, schools and recreational areas is minimal. Take into consideration wind speed, wind direction, temperature inversions, application equipment and sprayer settings.
- DO NOT apply this product through any type of irrigation system.
- 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 allow spray mixture to remain in the tank overnight, or for long periods during the day without agitation.
- 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.
- Apply TATTOO Fungicide only by rotary or fixed-wing aircraft 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. 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.
Use Precautions for Aerial Applications:
- Apply only when meteorological conditions at the treatment site allow for complete and even crop coverage. Apply only under conditions of good practice specific to aerial application as outlined in the National Aerial Pesticide Application Manual, developed by the Federal/Provincial/Territorial Committee on Pest Management and Pesticides.
Operator Precautions for Aerial Applications:
- Do not allow the pilot to mix chemicals to be loaded onto the aircraft. Loading of premixed chemicals with a closed system is permitted.
- It is desirable that the pilot has communication capabilities at each treatment site at the time of application.
- The field crew and the mixer/loaders must wear chemical resistant gloves, safety goggles or face shield during mixing/loading, cleanup and repair. Follow the more stringent label precautions in cases where the operator precautions exceed the generic label recommendations on the existing ground boom label. All personnel on the job site must wash hands and face thoroughly before eating and drinking. Protective clothing, aircraft cockpit and vehicle cabs must be decontaminated regularly.
Product Specific Precautions for Aerial Applications:
- Read and understand the entire label before opening this product. If you have questions, call the manufacturer at 1-888-238-6847 or obtain technical advice from the distributor or your provincial agricultural representative.
- For tank mixes, consult the labels of the tank-mix partners and observe the largest (most restrictive) buffer zone of the products involved in the tank-mixture and apply using the coarsest spray (ASAE) category indicated on the labels for those tank-mix partners.
