Surefire Stellar Fungicide (Azoxystrobin)

Tips For Use

General Instructions:

Warnings:

• Surefire Stellar is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple varieties.
• Avoid spray drift. Extreme care must be used to prevent injury to apple trees.
• Do not spray Surefire Stellar where spray drift may reach apple trees.
• Do not spray when conditions favour drift beyond the area intended for application.
• Conditions that may contribute to drift include thermal inversions, excessive wind speed, certain sprayer nozzle/pressure combinations, small spray droplet size etc.
• Do not use spray equipment that has been previously used to apply surefire stellar to spray apple trees. Even trace amounts can cause unacceptable phytotoxicity.

To Avoid Crop Damage:

Nursery stock, ornamentals and cut flowers/ foliage (other than certain apple varieties) are not known to be sensitive to azoxystrobin when used in strict accordance with the rate, conditions of use and other warnings. However, due to a large number of species and varieties of ornamentals and nursery stock, it is impossible to test everyone for tolerance to azoxystrobin. The user should conduct small-scale testing to ensure plant safety prior to large-scale commercial use.

Restraints: 

• Do not apply by air, except on potatoes.

Precautions:

• Re-entry – Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried, unless wearing cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing). Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use.

Storage:

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