DIRECTIONS FOR USE
MANDATORY DIRECTIONS
As BRAVO 720 SC contains minute quantities of HCB, a compound that can be taken up by grazing stock to give unacceptable residues in meat and milk, it is a condition of registration that the following restrictions MUST be followed:
DO NOT
graze treated crops.
DO NOT
feed any part of treated crop to stock.
CULTIVATE
treated areas thoroughly (ie not direct drilling or other minimum tillage techniques) before sowing pasture or any animal feed crop.
It is an offence to use this product on animals.

Critical Comments: Apply as a full season cover spray at 10 to 14 day intervals from bud burst onwards. When disease pressure is high reduce the interval to 7 to 10 days. Use on wine grapes, especially white varieties, after the start of capfall, may result in fruit russet. DO NOT use on table grapes.

Use the low rate for preventative applications and the high rate as a curative application. Under conditions of high pressure repeat at 10 to 14 day intervals. As the surface of diseased turf may be hard to wet, especially where thatch is present, add a wetting agent to ensure adequate penetration and control of residual infection resources.
MUST NOT be used on areas to be grazed.

ΔBotrytis: BRAVO 720 SC applied as a full season cover spray will prevent Botrytis. However, during periods of high risk (wet, humid weather) use a specific Botrytis fungicide.

GENERAL INFORMATION
BRAVO 720 SC is a protectant fungicide that will provide effective control of fungus diseases on a wide range of vegetable, fruit, ornamental crops, turf and wheat. BRAVO 720 SC can be used effectively through high volume, low volume or aircraft spray equipment.
Note: BRAVO 720 SC must be used only as directed on this label.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
BRAVO 720 Fungicide contains A member of the CHLORONITRILE group of fungicides. BRAVO 720 is a Group M5 fungicide. Resistance to this fungicide could develop from repeated use. 

MIXING
If the container has been standing for some while, slowly invert several times to ensure a uniform mixture is drawn off. Add the required amount of BRAVO 720 SC to the partly filled spray tank and top up with water. Keep mechanical agitator or bypass running while filling, during spraying, and before recommencing spraying after a stoppage.

APPLICATION
Suggested spray volume: It is important that good spray coverage of the crop is achieved and for high volume spraying use a minimum of 800 litres of water per hectare, increasing as necessary to ensure complete foliar cover at all stages of crop development. The rates suggested are for high volume spraying to run off. For concentrate spraying adjust dilution rates accordingly.

COMPATIBILITY
BRAVO 720 SC is compatible with most commonly used fungicides and insecticides. Unless prior experience has shown the combination to be physically compatible and non-injurious to crop, DO NOT combine with emulsifiable formulations, including oils, in the spray tank. DO NOT use with lime sulphur or Bordeaux mixture. BRAVO 720 SC is compatible with streptomycin: when using add BRAVO 720 SC to the spray tank, top up, then add streptomycin containing product.
