GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: Before opening, carefully read Directions for Use, Precautionary Statements, Safety Directions and First Aid. Penncozeb® 750 DF Fungicide is a protectant fungicide for the control of certain fungus diseases in many crops. For best results, apply product thoroughly to the treated crop in a regular spray program.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP M3 FUNGICIDE Penncozeb® 750 DF Fungicide is a member of the Multi-site activity group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management Penncozeb® 750 DF Fungicide is a Group M3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Penncozeb® 750 DF Fungicide and other Group M3 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 Penncozeb® 750 DF Fungicide or other Group M3 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, UPL Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for the losses that may result from the failure of Penncozeb® 750 DF Fungicide to control resistant fungi.

WARNING – BANANAS Under certain conditions the surface of recently emerged fruit is particularly prone to marking damage from spray applications where a petroleum spray oil is included. Where applications containing a petroleum spray oil will be made to very rapidly growing fruit in hot conditions with strong direct sunlight, it is recommended that bunches be bagged prior to spraying to minimise risk of fruit marking.

MIXING Partly fill spray tank with water and agitate while adding this product slowly. Continue agitation after filling and during spraying to ensure spray mixture is uniform and to prevent product settling out. For low volume or aerial application prepare a slurry or premix when adding to the spray tank. Additional insecticides, fungicides, surfactants, etc. should be added after the product is in suspension. Rinse out spray tank pumps and nozzles at the end of the day.

ADJUVANTS The use of Bond Adjuvant may improve spray deposition and rainfastness and should be used according to label directions.

APPLICATION This product may be applied as a high volume dilute spray to fruit tree and vine crops and some row crops. Apply sufficient spray volume to wet all leaf surfaces to the point of runoff. The spray equipment should be adjusted so that the spray is evenly distributed, thoroughly covering all plant surfaces.

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 100 L 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. The spray volume will vary according to the treated crop and should be increased when spraying large or dense plants to ensure thorough coverage. The spray volume should also be increased throughout the growing season as the crop increases in size. Suitable spray volumes for mature crops are as follows: Vine crops - 200 to 1100 L/ha. Pome and Stone Fruit - 1100 to 4000 L/ha. Citrus - 4000 to 8000 L/ha.

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 be then calculated in the following way: EXAMPLE ONLY

  1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1000 L/ha
  2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 250 L/ha
  3. The concentration factor in this example is: 4 X (i.e. 1000 L/250 L = 4)
  4. If the dilute label rate is 250 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 4 x 250, that is 1 L/100 L of concentrate spray. • The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L 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 competency training and follow industry Best Practices.

Concentrate and ground application sprays This product may be applied as a concentrate spray through low volume air blast equipment or as a ground application through spray booms. Adjust the rate to ensure that the correct amount is applied per hectare from the particular equipment used. Use the higher rate on larger plants and when weather conditions favour the development of disease.

Aerial application This product may be applied by agricultural aircraft. Use at least 30 to 50 litres spray mixture per hectare. Reference should be made to the Directions for Use table for the correct rate of application in specific crop situations.

SPRAY TIMING Apply treatments when weather conditions favour disease outbreak and continue until the threat of disease has passed. Repeated applications are necessary to protect new plant growth and as conditions favour disease development, reduce the spray interval.

COMPATIBILITY This product may be harmful to Typhlodromus pyri and should not be used in orchards where integrated control methods are practiced. Most commonly used agricultural fungicides and insecticides are compatible with Penncozeb® 750 DF, however reference should be made to the other manufacturer’s recommendations before preparing tank mixes. With Mango crops this product should not be mixed with Methidathion (Supracide) as the tank mix may cause phytotoxicity.

Bananas Foliar fertilisers: Before applying mixtures of foliar fertilisers to this product, seek advice from the manufacturer of the product and/or conduct a jar test with the product(s), with Penncozeb® 750 DF and the appropriate volume of water to test physical compatibility. Foliar fertilisers can cause damage to banana leaves and fruit. Test mixtures over a small area initially to check for crop safety. Since UPL cannot guarantee the quality of other products mixed with Penncozeb® 750 DF, the user accepts all responsibility for the performance of these mixtures.

PRECAUTIONS DO NOT use human flaggers/markers unless they are protected by engineering controls such as enclosed cabs.

RE-ENTRY: DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until spray has dried. When prior entry is necessary, wear personal protective equipment as specified in the Safety Directions. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Dangerous to fish. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Single rinse before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. Puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available bury the empty packaging 500mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots in compliance with the relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product.

SAFETY DIRECTIONS May irritate the eyes, nose, throat and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. DO NOT inhale dust or spray mist. After use and before eating, drinking and smoking, wash hands, arms and face thoroughly with soap and water. After each day’s use, wash contaminated clothing.

FIRST AID If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131126. Avoid giving alcohol.
