DIRECTIONS FOR USE

APPLICATION:
Apply Mancozeb Fungicide at 160-210 grams per 100 litres of water in full coverage, dilute sprays unless otherwise specified. For low volume sprayers adjust the mixing rate to give equivalent rates per hectare. Thorough, uniform coverage is essential for good disease control.

CLEANING SPRAY EQUIPMENT:
Rinsing
After using Mancozeb Fungicide: - empty the spray tank completely and drain the whole system. Thoroughly wash inside the unit using a pressure hose. Drain spray unit and clean any filters in the tank, pump, lines, hoses and nozzles.
- after cleaning the spray unit as above, quarter fill with clean water and circulate the water through the pump, lines, hoses and nozzles. Drain and repeat the rinsing procedure twice.

Do not premix Mancozeb Fungicide into a smaller tank. Pour Mancozeb Fungicide into a ¼ filled spray tank while the agitator is running then add remaining water. Do not let Mancozeb Fungicide settle out in an unagitated spray tank. When preparing spray solutions for use in a hand sprayer, premix as a slurry in a small container and add to sprayer containing ¼-½ final water volume and then add remaining water.

COMPATIBILITY
Mancozeb Fungicide is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and miticides, however compatibility should be checked before using EC formulations. Mancozeb Fungicide is not compatible with Bordeaux mixture or lime sulphur.
