DIRECTIONS FOR USE
| Crop | Disease | Rate | Critical Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potatoes | Black scurf (Rhizoctonia solani) (seed-borne infections only) | 150 mL/ tonne of seed potatoes | In order to achieve optimum results, Monstar application should achieve uniform coverage of all seed potatoes. Monstar can be applied either undiluted or mixed with 3 litres of water to ensure thorough even coverage of seed potatoes. Seed must be treated uniformly using suitable treatment machinery. Where conditions are likely to favour seed piece decay (eg. high temperatures and wet soil soon after planting): • Ensure cut tubers are properly cured before application • Ensure treated seed is dry prior to planting • Avoid treatment on the planter, or immediately prior to planting |
| Recreational turf: Golf greens, Bowling greens, Sports ovals and arenas | Fairy Ring | 150-200mL/100m2 Plus 250mL soil wetting agent/100m2. Spray in at least 400L water/ha to ensure even coverage, and follow up with 5-10mm irrigation or rain immediately. | Coring affected areas before application may assist penetration. Apply when ring becomes apparent and repeat at 2-4 week intervals up to a maximum of 3 applications per season. Use the higher rate for severe infections. |
NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION.

WITHHOLDING PERIOD NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Potatoes Monstar SC Fungicide is for the protection of potatoes against seed-borne black scurf (Rhizoctonia solani). Monstar is sprayed onto seed potatoes prior to planting. When applied as directed, this product will protect progeny tubers from infection via seed-borne Rhizoctonia solani. No claim is made for protection of tubers against soil-borne Rhizoctonia solani. Best results will be achieved where other management practices (such as crop rotation) are employed to reduce the occurrence of soil-borne Rhizoctonia solani.
Application Potatoes Monstar SC Fungicide is applied to seed potatoes prior to, or at planting. Application must be conducted with an applicator suitable for liquid treatments. The equipment must be properly calibrated to ensure even coverage and correct application rates. Monstar must be applied at the correct rate and achieve thorough even coverage of seed potatoes. Monstar should be applied onto dry tubers with a fine spray, ensuring even coverage of all surfaces. Tubers should be free from soil deposits at application. If using diluted Monstar, the tank mix should be constantly agitated in the spray tank during application. Do not store diluted product.
Turf Monstar can be applied using boomspray or vertispraying through a fish-mouthed nozzle. It is important to water in with the equivalent of 5mm rain immediately after application for control of fairy ring. Complying with the label requirement to use a specific droplet size category means that the correct nozzle that will deliver that droplet size category under the spray operation conditions being used. The APVMA has approved only the following specific methods for choosing the correct nozzle to deliver a COARSE or larger droplet size category. USE ONLY nozzles that the nozzles’ manufacturer has rated to deliver a COARSE, a VERY COARSE or an EXTREMELY COARSE droplet size category, as referenced in ASAE S572 or BCPC. Choose a nozzle that is specified to provide the droplet size category required in the label Spray Drift Restraints. DO NOT use a higher spray system pressure than the maximum the manufacturer specifies for the selected nozzle to deliver the droplet size category required in the Spray Drift Restraint.
Fungicide Resistance Warning GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE Monstar is a carboxamide fungicide. For fungicide resistance management, Monstar is a Group 7 fungicide. Some naturally-occurring fungal biotypes resistant to Monstar, and other Group 7 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Monstar and other Group 7 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, Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Monstar to control resistant fungi.
Trade Advice Growers should note that suitable MRLs or import tolerances may not be established in all markets for produce treated with Monstar SC Fungicide. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Colin Campbell (Chemicals) Pty Ltd for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using Monstar.
Equipment Monstar is applied to seed potatoes prior to, or at planting. Application must be conducted with an applicator suitable for liquid treatments. The equipment must be accurately calibrated to ensure even coverage and correct application rates.
