DO NOT apply to water-logged soil DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms are forecast within 3 days. DO NOT irrigate to the point of field runoff for at least 3 days after application. DO NOT apply more than a total of 10 L of Maxtima/ha/year. DO NOT apply more than 2 sequential applications of Maxtima, then alternate to another effective non-group 3 fungicide before reapplying Maxtima. DO NOT use this product through any type of irrigation system. SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at DO NOT allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud. DO NOT apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact to native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production, or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities, outside the application site from spray drift. The buffer zones in the buffer zone table below provide guidance but may not be sufficient in all situations. Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas. DO NOT apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application. DO NOT apply if there are hazardous surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site during the time of application. Surface temperature inversion conditions exist most evenings one to two hours before sunset and persist until one to two hours after sunrise. DO NOT apply by a boom sprayer unless the following requirements are met: • Spray droplets are not smaller than a MEDIUM spray droplet size category. • Minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive areas (see following table titled “Buffer Zones for Boom Sprayer”) are observed. Buffer Zones for Boom Sprayers | Application rate | Boom height above the target canopy | Bystander areas | Natural aquatic areas | Pollinator areas | Vegetation areas | Livestock areas | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Up to 2.5 L/ha | 0.5 m or lower | 0 metres | 20 metres | 0 metres | 0 metres | 140 metres | | | 1.0 m or lower | 0 metres | 60 metres | 0 metres | 10 metres | 350 metres | | Up to 1.8 L/ha | 0.5 m or lower | 0 metres | 15 metres | 0 metres | 0 metres | 80 metres | | | 1.0 m or lower | 0 metres | 50 metres | 0 metres | 5 metres | 325 metres | --- # Page 3 | SITUATION | DISEASE | RATE | WATER VOLUME | APPLICATION INTERVALS (days) | CRITICAL COMMENTS | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Turf | Anthracnose (Colletotricum graminicola) | 1.25 -1.8 L/ha | Preventative Treatments: 400-1600 L/ha Curative Treatments: 600-2000 L/ha | 14 | Apply prior to fungal infection or in early stages of disease development. | | | Brown patch, Large patch and Brown ring patch (Rhizoctonia spp) | 1.8 – 2.5 L/ha | | 14 | Apply prior to fungal infection or in early stages of disease development. | | | Dollar spot (Sclerotinia homeocarpa) | 1.25 L/ha | | 14-28 | Apply prior to fungal infection or in early stages of disease development.

However, due to the variability in turf grass species, tank mixes and application techniques, it is recommended that a small test area (under similar conditions to the broader area) be treated first and effects monitored for 14 days. APPLICATION Good disease control requires even coverage. For control of root diseases, application at first signs of disease emergence in sufficient water volume to penetrate the root zone is critical. Application should be made using sufficient water to ensure even coverage. Lower water rates can be used for foliar diseases. For soil and root based disease control, higher water rates are recommended. RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE MAXTIMA FUNGICIDE is a member of the DMI group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, the product is a Group 3 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to MAXTIMA and other Group 3 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 MAXTIMA or other Group 3 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, BASF Australia Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi. --- # Page 4 PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze treated turf or lawn; or feed turf or lawn clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock.
