For the control of Rhizoctonia and Pythium in Wheat and Barley, control of Stripe Rust in Wheat and suppression of Yellow Spot in Wheat, as per the Directions for Use

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

BARLEY, WHEAT
Disease: Rhizoctonia root rot (Rhizoctonia solani) and bare patch
Rate per ha: 300 or 400 mL
Critical Comments: Apply as an in-furrow liquid band or with granular fertilizer. Refer to general instructions.
Rhizoctonia control: Use the higher rate of 400 mL to provide improved control where paddock history or soil testing indicates a risk of Rhizoctonia root rot and where minimum tillage is used. Note that management of Rhizoctonia bare patch requires a fully integrated disease management strategy.
300 or 400 mL Split application
Apply as a split application at sowing, 150 or 200 mL/ha as an in-furrow band plus 150 or 200 mL/ha as a surface band above the seed row.
Combined surface and in-furrow delivery will provide improved control of Rhizoctonia to that provided by the equivalent rate applied in-furrow.

Disease: Rhizoctonia bare patch – suppression
Rate per ha: 200 mL plus registered seed treatment
Critical Comments: Apply as an in-furrow liquid band or with granular fertilizer in combination with a seed treatment registered for suppression of Rhizoctonia, e.g.: Vibrance. The combination of the two treatments will provide enhanced suppression of Rhizoctonia. Refer to general instructions.

Disease: Pythium Root Rot (Pythium spp.)
Rate per ha: 200 to 400 mL
Critical Comments: Apply as an in-furrow liquid band or with granular fertilizer. All rates will provide control of Pythium.

WHEAT
Disease: Stripe Rust (Puccinia striiformis)
Rate per ha: 200 to 400 mL
Critical Comments: Apply as an in-furrow liquid band or with granular fertilizer. For up to 100 days control of Stripe rust in wheat use 300 to 400 mL/ha. For up to 100 days suppression of Stripe rust in wheat use 200mL/ha. Where heavy Stripe rust pressure is expected, use 400mL/ha only.

Disease: Yellow Spot (Pyrenophora tritici-repentis) – suppression
Rate per ha: 300 to 400 mL
Critical Comments: Apply as an in-furrow liquid band or with granular fertilizer. Both rates will provide suppression for up to 60 days. Use the higher rate, where heavy pressure is expected or planting into infected stubble from the previous year.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION

WITHHOLDING PERIODS
Cereals: Harvest: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED
Grazing: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR STOCK FOOD FOR 6 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Uniform may be applied in a mix with liquid or coated onto granular fertilizer, or alone in an in-furrow liquid band, or as a combined in-furrow and surface band. Uniform should be used in combination with a registered seed treatment for control of seedborne disease such as smuts and bunts, e.g. Vibrance.

In Furrow Application
Granule fertilizer: Ensure treated fertilizer is dry before sowing.
Treated fertilizer should be sown in the same furrow as the seed, not broadcast. Note that the flow rate of fertilizer may be changed after treatment, and the seeder should be calibrated with the treated material to ensure that the correct rates of fertilizer and fungicide are delivered. DO NOT mix seed with treated fertilizer prior to planting. Once fertilizer has been treated, protect from direct sunlight, exposure to water and extreme environmental conditions prior to planting. Treated fertilizer should not be kept for extended periods of time for more details please speak to your local Syngenta representative.
Spray product evenly onto granulated fertilizer, and immediately mix thoroughly in a mechanical mixer or auger. Apply at a rate which will deposit the specific rate of the product on the quantity of fertilizer required to be sown in-furrow per hectare, using the table below as a guide.

* Application volumes over 400mL per 100kg of fertilizer may adversely affect the flow rate and handling characteristics of dusty/poorly granulated fertilizers and some high nitrate fertilizers.
† Application volumes under 300mL per 100kg of fertilizer should be diluted with water to a total slurry volume of 300mL per 100kg of fertilizer to improve coverage.

Liquid: Uniform can be used on seeding equipment by liquid banding below or beside the seed. Uniform can be mixed with water or liquid fertilizers (ie UAN, MAP and DAP liquids). Ensure there is a separation between the seed and liquid band, use the minimum distance recommended with the fertilizer. When applying Uniform diluted in water use a minimal separation distance of 15mm. When applying Uniform as an in-furrow band, use a total solution volume of 20-100 L/ha at planting. When injecting Uniform with liquid fertilizers it is advised to use no more than 100 litres per hectare to avoid seedling damage.

Split Application
Liquid in-furrow and surface banding: UNIFORM can be applied as a split in-furrow band (150 or 200 mL/ha) and surface band (150 or 200 mL/ha). With liquid in-furrow application ensure there is separation between the seed and liquid band, using a total volume of 50-100 L/ha at planting. As a surface band, apply with water using a nozzle directed over the furrow ie. inside the plant row in a total volume of 50 - 100 L/ha. Maximum amount of Uniform to be applied per hectare is 400mL.Ensure that there is a minimal separation distance of 15mm between where the seed is planted and the surface banded application. Maximum band width of surface band should be 10cm.

Compatibility
Check compatibility prior to use, contact your local Syngenta representative for further information.

Mixing
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation. Agitate the closed UNIFORM container prior to use. Whilst filling the remainder of the spray tank add the required amount of UNIFORM, adding any tank mix products last. Maintain agitation until spraying is complete. DO NOT leave the spray mix in the sprayer overnight.

GROUP 11 4 FUNGICIDE

Fungicide Resistance Warning
Uniform is a combination of a Quinone outside Inhibitor and a phenylamide group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management UNIFORM is both a Group 11 and a Group 4 fungicide.
Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to UNIFORM and other Group 11 and/or Group 4 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by UNIFORM or other Group 11 and/or Group 4 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss.
Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Australian Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of UNIFORM to control resistant fungi.

Fungicide Resistance Management
When plants have been treated with UNIFORM, the first foliar fungicide spray should be from a different fungicide group (ie not Group 11 or Group 4).
