DIRECTIONS FOR USE: RESTRAINTS: DO NOT mix spraying oils or wetting agents with Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide. For all stone fruit except Cherries, the following additional restraints apply: DO NOT use oils after bud-swell and during the season if Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide is to be used after shuck fall. DO NOT tank mix Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide with EC formulations when spraying after shuck fall.
Tree and Vine Crops This table shows rates for dilute spraying. For concentrate spraying refer to the Mixing/Application Section. For uses in this table: Apply by dilute or concentrate spraying equipment. Apply the same total amount of product to the target crop whether applying this product by dilute or concentrate spraying methods. DO NOT use at rates greater than 5 times the dilute spraying rate.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes Note: Russetting of some table grape varieties may occur | Downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) Bunch rot (Botrytis cinerea) | 160-210mL/ 100L | Dessert 7 Wine 14 | Make the first application as soon as conditions favour the development of the disease. Apply at 7-14 day intervals particularly during wet weather and periods of rapid growth. For Bunch Rot, applications at early full bloom, two weeks later, at veraison and two weeks prior to harvest. Table Grapes – Russetting of some varieties may occur. Use only up to cap fall in these varieties. |
| Black spot (Anthracnose) (Elsinoe ampelina) | 210mL/ 100L | Dessert 7 Wine 14 | If Black spot has occurred in the vineyard in any of the last three years, apply at budburst and 14 days later when shoots are 10-15cm long. If wet/humid conditions persist spray again when shoots are 20-30cm 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 7-14 day intervals if wet/humid conditions persist. Applications up to cap-fall will not cause russetting in table grape and dried fruit varieties. | |

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Note: Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide is a protectant fungicide only. Therefore, to achieve best results, Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide must be applied before diseases occur/become established. 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 Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide.
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP M5 FUNGICIDE For fungicide resistance management, Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide is a Group M5 fungicide. Some naturally-occurring individual fungi resistant to Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide and other Group M5 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. The resistant fungi will not be controlled by Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide and other Group M5 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, PCT Holdings Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide to control resistant fungi.
MIXING Slowly invert container several times to ensure uniform mixture. Mix the required quantity of product with water in the spray tank with agitator operating.
APPLICATION 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 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.
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 mix rate.
Surefire Chlortan 720 Fungicide label and leaflet page 10 of 12 66860/58374 1 L, 5 L, 10 L, 20 L, 110 L, 200 L, 1000 L Version RLP 13/06/2013
Leaflet ancillary panel continued
The mixing rate for the concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way: EXAMPLE ONLY:
- Dilute spray volume as determined above: for example 1500 L/ha.
- Your chosen concentrate spray volume: for example, 500 L/ha
- The concentrate factor in this example is: 3x (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3)
- If the dilute label rate is 40 mL/100 L, then the concentration rate becomes 3 x 40, which is 120 mL/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 appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.
COMPATIBILITY This product is compatible with wettable powder formulations of the most commonly used fungicides, insecticides and miticides. DO NOT combine with oil-based emulsifiable or flowable pesticides, unless prior experience has shown the combination to be physically compatible and non-injurious to your crop. This product should not be mixed with spraying oils or sprayed onto crops that have been sprayed with oil for at least 10 days after the oil spray. Oils should not be sprayed on crops treated with this product for at least 10 days after the last spray. Wetting agents have not improved performance. Under some conditions, certain surfactants may cause plant injury.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT contaminate feed or foodstuffs with this product or empty containers.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Dangerous to fish. DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used container.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. The method of disposal of the container depends on the container type. Read the “Storage and Disposal” instructions on the label that is attached to the container.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS Attacks eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not inhale spray mist. Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders. Sensitive workers should use protective clothing. When preparing spray and using the prepared spray wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves, goggles and disposable mist face mask covering mouth and nose. If clothing becomes contaminated with product or wet with spray remove clothing immediately. If product on skin, immediately wash area with soap and water.
