The active ingredient in VELISTA® is penthiopyrad which is a carboxamide fungicide. Penthiopyrad inhibits fungal respiration by binding to mitochondrial respiratory complex II. Penthiopyrad is not cross resistant with other classes of fungicide chemistry, like triazoles and other ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitors, strobilurins and other complex III (QoI) inhibitors, anilinopyrimidines, dicarboximides, benzimidazoles and N-phenyl-carbamates. VELISTA® is a broad spectrum fungicide recommended for the control of many important diseases of turfgrass. For best results apply preventatively when conditions favour disease development. Higher doses can be used for curative control. Before use of any fungicide, proper diagnosis of the organism causing the disease is important. Use of diagnostic kits or other means of identification of the disease organism is essential to determine the best control measures. Equipment Cleaning Prior to application, start with clean, well maintained application equipment. Immediately following application, thoroughly clean all application equipment to reduce the risk of forming hardened deposits that might become difficult to remove. Drain application equipment. Thoroughly rinse application equipment and flush hoses and nozzles with clean water. Clean all other associated application equipment. Take all necessary safety precautions when cleaning equipment. DO NOT clean equipment near wells, water sources or desirable vegetation. Dispose of waste rinse water in accordance with local regulations. Mixing For the treatment of Fairy Ring (basidiomycetes fungi), the addition of a non-ionic surfactant at a rate of 0.25% v/v (1000 g ai/L products) or 0.42% v/v (600 g ai/L products) such as Agral is recommended. DO NOT pour VELISTA® into an empty tank Fill spray tank ¼ to ½ full of water. Add VELISTA® to the spray tank and disperse thoroughly using mechanical or hydraulic agitation. Continue agitation while topping up to the correct volume with water. Maintain constant agitation while mixing and applying the product. DO NOT store the diluted solution. If the solution sits in the tank for a period of hours, agitate vigorously prior to application. Compatibility VELISTA® is compatible with many commonly used fungicides, liquid fertilisers, herbicides, insecticides, and biological control products. However, as formulations of other manufacturers products are beyond the control of Syngenta, all mixtures should be tested before addition to a spray tank and before application to turf to establish safety. When tank mixing VELISTA® with other pesticides, observe all precautions and limitations on each separate product label. Mixing Order: The mixing sequence recommended is water soluble bags, VELISTA®, other dry flowable or water dispersible granules, wettable powders, water based suspension concentrates, water soluble concentrates, oil based suspension concentrates, emulsifiable concentrates, adjuvants, surfactants, oils soluble fertilisers, drift retardants. Application Apply using well maintained and accurately calibrated spray equipment. Maintain constant agitation while applying the product. Apply evenly and in sufficient water, to ensure thorough coverage and uniform disease control. Apply after mowing or allow treated area to dry before mowing. Foliar and Crown Diseases (Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Dollar Spot, Red Thread, Helminthosporium Diseases, Leaf Spots): Apply in a minimum of 400 L water/ha using air induction 04 nozzles and allow the treated area to dry before irrigation. Root Infecting Diseases (Brown Patch, Spring Dead Spot): Apply in a minimum of 750 L water/ha using air induction 08 nozzles and irrigate within 1 hour of application to wash the VELISTA® into the upper root zone. Fairy Ring (basidiomycetes fungi): Apply in approximately 1000 L water/ha using air induction 08 nozzles and irrigate within 1 hour of application to wash the VELISTA® into the upper root zone. Irrigate with 6- 10mm of water. *** Fungicide Resistance Warning GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE For fungicide resistance management VELISTA® Turf Fungicide is a Group 7 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to VELISTA® 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 VELISTA® or 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, Syngenta Australia Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of VELISTA® to control resistant fungi. VELISTA® may be subject to specific resistance management strategies. To help prevent the development of resistance to VELISTA®, use in accordance with the current Fungicide Resistance Management (IRM) strategy for your region. For further information contact your farm chemical supplier, consultant, local Department of Agriculture or Primary Industries or local Syngenta Representative. PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers, waterways with the chemical or used container. DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray drift onto nearby non-target plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures. PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze treated areas or feed turf clippings from treated areas to animals including poultry. STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. DO NOT dispose of undiluted chemicals on site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available, bury the empty packaging 500 mm 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 Will irritate the eyes. Avoid contact with eyes. When opening the container, mixing and loading and preparing spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist and a washable hat (or equivalent clothing) and goggles. Wash hands after use. If product in eyes, wash immediately with water. FIRST AID If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre.
