| Grapes Note russetting of some table grape varieties may occur | Downy Mildew (Plasmopara viticola), Bunch Rot (Botrytis cinerea) | All States | 160-210mL /100L | Dessert 7 Wine 14 | Make the first application as soon as conditions favour the development of the disease. Apply at 7 to 14 day intervals particularly during wet weather and periods of rapid growth. Bunch Rot : Apply at early full bloom, 2 weeks later, at veraison and 2 weeks prior to harvest. Table Grapes : Russeting of some varieties may occur. Use only up to capfall in these varieties. |
| Black Spot (Anthracnose) (Elsinoe ampelina) | All States | 210mL /100L | If Black Spot has occurred in the vineyard in any of the last 3 years, apply at budburst and 14 days later when shoots are 10 to 15 cm long. If wet/humid conditions persist, spray again when shoots are 20 to 30 cm long to protect new growth. Some initial minimal leaf damage on the new shoots of sensitive varieties can occur if spray treatments are applied at budburst and in the first 14 days after budburst. In vineyards with no history of Black Spot, make the first application as soon as conditions favour the development of the disease on the foliage and then at 7 to 14 day intervals if wet/humid conditions persist. Applications up to capfall will not cause russeting in table grape and dried fruit varieties. |

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Cheers is a protectant fungicide only. Cheers must be applied before diseases occur/become established to be highly effective. Use disease warning services or past history to determine timing of first spray. If diseases are already present, then an eradicant product should be used first and mixed with Cheers.
Resistance Warning For fungicide resistance management CHEERS 720 WEATHERSHIELD is a Group M5 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to CHEERS 720 WEATHERSHIELD and other Group M5 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 CHEERS 720 WEATHERSHIELD and other Group M5 fungicides, thus resulting in reduction of 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 CHEERS 720 WEATHERSHIELD to control resistant fungi.
Mixing Invert container several times to ensure uniform mixture. Mix the required quantity of product with water in the spray tank with the agitator operating.
Application (Tree and Vine Crops) Dilute spraying • Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop being sprayed. • Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. • The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice. • Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100L of water. Spray to the point of run-off. • The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be changed, as the crop grows.
Concentrate spraying • Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed. • Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume. • Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. • The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way.
EXAMPLE ONLY
- Dilute spray volume as determined above: for example 1500L/ha.
Page 8 of 9 46
- Your chosen concentrate spray volume: for example 500L/ha.
- The concentration factor in this example is : 3 X (i.e. 1500L / 500L = 3)
- If the dilute label rate is 40mL/100L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 40, that is 120mL/100L of concentrate spray. • The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. • For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practice.
