Rapide Aqua 500SC Fungicide

Tips For Use

When applying products with Iprodione, only prepare the amount of spray required for one day’s worth of application to keep the product from decomposing.

Restraints:

• Do not graze treated turf or feed turf clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock.

Precautions:

• Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried, 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.

Mixing:

Note:

• Surefire Rapide Aqua 500SC Fungicide may be unstable in conditions where the pH is 7 or higher.
• It is essential to check the pH of the spray solution before adding Surefire Rapide Aqua 500SC Fungicide.
• A suitable registered buffering agent may have to be added to bring the pH down below 7.
• Add half the required water volume to the spray tank or vat with the agitation mechanism operating.
• Add the required volume of this product and then add additional water to the volume required.

Turf Nutrition:

• This product acts very rapidly and where the turf is of low nutritional status, a slight yellowing may be seen.
• This will be corrected by nitrogenous fertilizer application.
• Where possible, it is recommended that the fertilizer program should precede the fungicide application.

Application:

• Good disease control requires even, thorough coverage of the target area.
• The application should be made using appropriate spray equipment and sufficient water to provide adequate penetration and coverage.
• Equipment settings and water volume may need to vary, depending on the growth stage of the crop.

Special Instructions For Tree Crops/Vines

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed to apply high spray volumes, 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 spray solution to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off.
• The required spray volume to achieve the point of runoff may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, or from industry guidelines or other expert advice.
• Add the 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 to achieve the point of runoff 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 that applies spray 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 spray volume.
• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

Storage:

• Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area.
• Do not store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight.

Safety Directions:

• May irritate the eyes and skin.
• Avoid contact with eyes and skin.
• Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders.
