GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Signature Xtra Stressgard is a systemic fungicide which is applied as a foliar spray to established turf for the control of Pythium and Anthracnose in turf. For best results, apply this product to actively growing turf as a preventative treatment or at first sign of disease and repeat as necessary at intervals of 7 – 21 days in accordance with the disease pressure and the rate/spray interval combinations in the Directions for Use Table. . Signature Xtra Stressgard may be applied to turf using appropriate application equipment which delivers the product to give a uniform coverage.
DISEASE PRESSURE
Disease pressure is determined by a number of climatic and cultural factors including temperature, humidity, rainfall, microclimate, mowing height and grass type. Make an assessment of disease pressure by considering these factors prior to commencing a spray program. Historical disease incidence at the site should also be taken into account when selecting application rate and spray interval.
MIXING
Fill the spray tank to at least half the desired amount with clean water and commence agitation. Add the required quantity of Signature Xtra Stressgard directly to the water and complete filling to the final volume. Maintain agitation during spraying operations. DO NOT make a slurry or paste prior to adding to the tank.
APPLICATION
Apply as a foliar spray with a properly calibrated sprayer in 400 - 800 L of water per ha (4 – 8 L water per 100 m²).
COMPATIBILITY
Signature Xtra Stressgard may not be chemically compatible with foliar fertilisers or with copper based fungicides and phytotoxicity may occur. To determine physical compatibility of this product with any other product, use a small container to mix a small amount (e.g. 500 mL) of spray solution, containing all the ingredients added in the same order and ratio as the anticipated use. If any indication of physical incompatibility develops, do not use this mixture for spraying. Indication of incompatibility usually appears within 5 to 15 minutes after mixing. Read and follow all directions and precautions on this label and on the labels of any products for which a tank mixture is being considered. Always test mixtures on a small area of turf before large scale use.
Signature Xtra Stressgard is compatible with Reserve® Fungicide. For information on the compatibility of this product with other products, contact a Bayer representative. As formulations of other manufacturers' products are beyond the control of Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.

FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP 33 FUNGICIDE
Signature Xtra Stressgard Systemic Turf Fungicide is a member of the Multi-site activity group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management the product is a Group 33 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Signature Xtra Stressgard and other Group 33 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 Signature Xtra Stressgard or other Group 33 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, Bayer CropScience accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Signature Xtra Stressgard to control resistant fungi.
PRECAUTIONS
This product may cause staining. Avoid off-target sites such as pathways, patios, driveways, pavers or similar materials.
RE-ENTRY PERIOD
DO NOT enter treated areas until spray has dried. If 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. For use on lawns and recreational areas, DO NOT allow entry to treated areas unless product is incorporated into the soil profile, by watering in immediately after application.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT
Toxic to aquatic life. Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with the chemical or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility.
