CONDITIONS OF USE

Product to be used:
LEXICON INTRINSIC BRAND FUNGICIDE (APVMA No. 86662)
Containing: 333 g/L PYRACLOSTROBIN and 167 g/L FLUXAPYROXAD as the only active
constituents.

RESTRAINTS:
DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms are forecast within 3 days.
DO NOT irrigate to the point of field runoff for at least 3 days after application.

Spray Drift Restraints
Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at

DO NOT allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud.
DO NOT apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact to native vegetation,
agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production, or cause contamination of
plant or livestock commodities, outside the application site from spray drift. The buffer zones in
the relevant buffer zone table/s below provide guidance but may not be sufficient in all
situations. Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray
drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas.
DO NOT apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the
application site during the time of application.
DO NOT apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the
application site during the time of application. Surface temperature inversion conditions exist
most evenings 1 to 2 hours before sunset and persist until 1 to 2 hours after sunrise.
DO NOT apply by a boom sprayer unless the following requirements are met:
• Spray droplets not smaller than a COARSE spray droplet size category.
• Minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive areas (see
‘Mandatory buffer zones’ section of the following table titled ‘Buffer zones for boom
sprayers’) are observed.

Buffer zones for boom sprayers

| Application Rate | Boom height above the target canopy | Mandatory downwind buffer zones |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| | | Natural aquatic areas |
| Up to maximum rate | 0.5 m or lower | 170 m |

Directions for Use:

| Crop | Disease | Rate |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Nursery Stock (non-food) seedlings, tubes, plugs, potted colour, trees, shrubs, foliage plants, palms, grasses, fruiting plants (non-bearing), cut flowers and ornamentals | Rhizoctonia, Sclerotinia, Basidiomycete fungi, Fusarium, Pythium, and Ectotrophic root infecting fungi (Rhizoctonia spp, Sclerotinia spp, Basidiomycetes spp, Fusarium spp, Pythium spp. and Ophiosphaerella spp. & Gaeumannomyces spp.) | 80-100 mL/100 L |

Critical Use Comments:
• Apply as a preventative treatment. Begin application when conditions are favourable for
fungal infection, prior to disease symptoms developing. Repeat application 14-28 days later.
• Apply as a soil drench or foliar spray via overhead track sprayer, boom sprayer, backpack
sprayer, hand wand sprayer or equivalent.
• Apply Lexicon in sufficient spray volume to provide complete soil coverage without runoff.
Thorough soil coverage is required to maximize the effectiveness of Lexicon. Use a
maximum spray volume of 1500 L/ha.
• DO NOT apply more than 2 applications per crop. Alternate to another registered or permitted
non-group 11 or 7 fungicide with a different mode of action.
• DO NOT apply less than 14 days after the initial treatment.
• Follow the fungicide resistance warning and restraints on the product label, especially
regarding spray drift restraints. Thorough coverage and wetting of root zone, crown and base
of the plant, and surrounding soil and growing media is necessary for best control. Avoid
watering plants for several hours before application in order to improve plant uptake of
Lexicon.
• Not compatible with integrated pest management (IPM) programs utilising beneficial
arthropods. Minimise spray drift to reduce harmful effects on beneficial arthropods in non-crop areas.

Withholding Period:
Harvest: Do not harvest food crops for 60 days after application.

Jurisdiction:
All States and Territories, except VIC.
Note: Victoria is not included in this permit, as their Control-of-Use legislation means a permit is not required to
legalise this off-label use in that State.

Additional Conditions:
This permit allows for the use of a product in a manner specified on the permit. Persons who
wish to prepare for use and/or use products for the purposes specified in this permit must read,
or have read to them, the details and conditions of this permit. Unless otherwise stated, the use
of the product must be in accordance with the product label.

The holder of the permit must notify the APVMA of new information, including relevant
information in accordance with section 161 of the Schedule to the Agricultural and Veterinary
Chemicals Code Act 1994, in accordance with the obligation imposed by that section.

To Avoid Crop Damage
The sensitivity of the crop to be treated under this permit has not been fully evaluated. It is
advisable to only treat a small area to ascertain the reaction before treating the whole crop.
