GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION Good control requires good coverage. Application should be made using sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage. For application in turf, use 400-800 L water per ha for foliar or crown diseases such as Dollar Spot, Anthracnose, Brown Patch, Fusarium (Microdochium), Helminthosporium, Leptosphaerulina and Curvularia. Use higher water rates (up to 1600 L per ha) for treatment of soil/root diseases such as Brown Patch, Ectotrophic Root Infecting fungi and Spring Dead Spot.
Dedicate Turf and Ornamental Fungicide has been used on a range of ornamental plant species (i.e. azaleas, begonias, chrysanthemums, cinerea, geraniums, gerbera, Myrtaceae, native daisy, pelargoniums, roses, snapdragon) without damage. Some species and varieties however are particularly sensitive to chemical sprays and as this sensitivity is often related to local conditions, it is advisable to treat only a small number of plants first, in order to ascertain the reaction before treating the whole target group.
TURF NUTRITION This product acts very rapidly and where the turf is of a low nutritional status, a slight yellowing may be seen. This will be corrected by nitrogenous fertiliser application. Where possible, it is recommended that the fertiliser program should precede the fungicide application.
IPM COMPATIBILITY RISK TO NON-TARGET INSECTS: DEDICATE may have adverse effects on some nontarget beneficial insects, in particular predatory bugs. This risk should be taken into account where Integrated Pest Management utilising these organisms is practised.
RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP 3 11 FUNGICIDE For fungicide resistance management DEDICATE is a Group 3 & 11 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to DEDICATE and other Group 3 & 11 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 DEDICATE and other Group 3 & 11 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Bayer accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of DEDICATE to control resistant fungi.
PRECAUTIONS
RE-ENTRY PERIOD FOR TURF DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. When prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
RE-ENTRY PERIOD FOR ORNAMENTALS DO NOT enter treated areas until spray has dried for low and medium exposure activities such as irrigation, scouting, thinning and weeding of immature/low foliage plants and/or mature/high foliage plants, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.
DO NOT enter for five (5) days after application for high exposure activities such as hand harvesting, pruning and pinching, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical-resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER NON-TARGET PLANTS DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto nearby susceptible plants/crops, cropping lands or pastures.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEA AND THE ENVIRONMENT DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple or preferably pressure 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 for appropriate disposal 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 relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. DO NOT burn empty containers or product. DO NOT re-use empty containers for any other purpose.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS When opening the container and preparing spray and using the prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. If applying by spraying equipment carried on the back of the user, wear cotton overalls over normal clothing buttoned to the neck and wrist and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves. Wash hands after use. After each day’s use wash gloves and contaminated clothing.
FIRST AID If poisoning occurs contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (ph: 13 11 26).
