For the control of fungal diseases in fruit, ornamentals, turf, vegetables and wheat.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
Cavalry Fungicide is a protectant fungicide that will provide effective control of fungus diseases on a wide range of vegetable, fruit, ornamental crops, turf and wheat. Calvalry Fungicide can be used effectively through high volume, low volume or aircraft spray equipment.

By law, the following restrictions must be complied with: As Cavalry Fungicide contains minute quantities of HCB, a compound that can be taken up by grazing stock to give unacceptable residues in meat and milk, the following restrictions on the use of the product must be observed:
DO NOT graze treated crops  
DO NOT feed any part of treated crop to stock 
CULTIVATE treated areas thoroughly (i.e. not direct drilling or other minimum tillage techniques) before sowing pasture or any animal feed crop.

Disease: Rust
Rate/100 Litres Water: 175 to 210 mL
Rate/Ha: 1.4 litres

CELERY
Disease
: Septoria Leaf Spot
Rate/100 Litres Water: 210 to 245 mL
Rate/Ha: 2.1 litres
Critical Comments: Apply as a full season cover spray from immediately post-planting at 7 to 14 day intervals.

CUCUMBERS, MELONS, SQUASH
Disease: Downy Mildew, Powdery Mildew 
Rate/100 Litres Water: 175 to 210 mL
Rate/Ha: 1.4 litres
Critical Comments: Apply at seedling emergence and continue at 10 to 21 day intervals.

GRAPES
Disease: Black Spot, Downy Mildew, Powdery Mildew, *Botrytis
Rate/100 Litres Water: 210 to 245 mL
Rate/Ha: 2.1 litres
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.

LETTUCE
Disease: Ring Spot
Rate/100 Litres Water: 210 to 245 mL
Rate/Ha: 2.1 litres
Critical Comments:  Apply at seedling emergence and continue at 7 to 10 day intervals throughout the growing period. A regular protective program is necessary to prevent disease establishment.

PIPFRUIT
Disease: Black Spot 
Rate/100 Litres Water: 210 to 245 mL
Rate/Ha: 2.1 litres
Critical Comments: Apply as a full season cover spray at 14 to 21 day intervals. DO NOT apply to bearing trees as fruit Russell may occur.

POTATOES
Disease: Early Blight, Late Blight
Rate/100 Litres Water: 140 mL
Rate/Ha: 1.1 litres
Critical Comments: Apply at 7 to 14 day intervals or as needed to maintain disease control

APRICOTS, CHERRIES, NECTARINES
Disease: Leaf Cur
Rate/100 Litres Water: 160 to 210 mL
Critical Comments: Apply pre bud swell. Where disease levels are high repeat application from pink to shuck fall at 7 to 14 day intervals.

PEACHES, PLUMS
Disease: Brown Rot, Rust, Blossom Blight
Rate/100 Litres Water: 160 to 210 mL
Critical Comments: Apply from pink to shuck fall at 7 to 14 day intervals.

STRAWBERRIES
Disease: Alternaria Leaf Spot, *Botrytis
Rate/100 Litres Water: 210 to 245 mL
Rate/Ha: 2.1 litres
Critical Comments: Apply as a full season cover spray at 14 day intervals form bud burst onwards. When infection is severe reduce the interval to 7 to 10 days

TOMATOES (OUTDOOR)
Disease: Early Blight, Late Blight, *Botrytis
Rate/100 Litres Water: 210 to 245 mL
Rate/Ha: 2.1 litres 
Critical Comments: Apply at planting out and continue at 10 to 14 day intervals until harvest.

TURF, COTULA
Disease: Dollar Spot, Brown Patch, Leaf Spotting/Melting Out 
Rate/100 Litres Water: 70 to 140 mL/100 square metres

Disease: Anthracnose, Fusarium Patch, Red Thread 
Rate/100 Litres Water: 105 to 210 mL/100 square metres

Critical Comments: Spray in sufficient water to thoroughly wet foliage (7.5 to 10 litres per 100 square metres). 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.

WHEAT

Rate/Ha: 0.7 to 1.4 litres

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING
If the container has been standing for some time, roll the drum from side to side several times to ensure a uniform mixture is drawn off. Add the required amount of Cavalry Fungicide 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
May be tank mixed 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. Cavalry Fungicide is compatible with streptomycin: when using add Cavalry Fungicide to the spray tank, top up then add streptomycin containing product.
