2 DIRECTIONS FOR USE IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product. Fungazil 100 SL is a seed treatment fungicide for the reduction of silver scurf, gangrene, skin spot and Fusarium dry rot on ware and seed potatoes. 1. Restrictions/Warnings CONSULT PROCESSORS BEFORE TREATING WARE POTATOES FOR PROCESSING. In situations where soil-borne inoculum is high, treatment of seed tubers with Fungazil 100 SL may not give full protection against infection of stems and daughter tubers. In early potato seed crops, Fungazil 100 SL can cause a temporary reduction in the number of open eyes when applied as an out of store treatment. Treatment should be made before chitting to minimise mechanical damage. Only one post harvest application must be made to potatoes intended for ware or processing. Reduction of established wound diseases may not be achieved. For best results the tubers should be clean and free from soil (less than 5% of surface). Diseases under areas of soil/dust will not be exposed to spray and will not be controlled. The skin can be dry or damp at treatment but not wet. 2. Disease Control Fungazil 100 SL reduces the following diseases of ware and seed potatoes, when applied during storage:- Silver scurf Skin spot Gangrene Dry rot Helminthosporium solani Polyscytalum pustulans Phoma exigua Fusarium spp When applied prior to planting of seed potatoes as a protective treatment, only reduction of skin spot and silver scurf can be expected. Fungazil 100 SL should be used in conjunction with other disease management measures such as, good handling, curing and storage practice, good store hygiene and the use of resistant varieties. 3. Crops Fungazil 100 SL can be used on potatoes stored for the ware or processing market. It can also be used on the seed tubers of all varieties of early and maincrop potatoes grown for seed, ware or processing. For best results the tubers should be clean and free from soil (less than 5% of surface). Diseases under areas of soil/dust will not be exposed to spray and will not be controlled. The skin can be dry or damp at treatment but not wet. 3.1 Ware potatoes Time of application Only one post harvest application must be made to potatoes intended for ware or processing. To achieve the maximum disease reduction in storage, Fungazil 100 SL should be applied as soon as possible after havest, preferably within 7 to10 days. To obtain the best reduction of both skin and wound diseases application must be made before wounds have begun to close. Later applications may be less effective as wound infections will no longer be exposed to treatment. 3.2 Seed potatoes Time of application Two treatment programme To achieve the maximum disease reduction in store and in the progeny crop a two spray programme of Fungazil 100 SL is recommended. The first into store spray should be applied as soon as possible after harvest, preferably within 7 10 days, to obtain the best reduction of both skin and wound diseases. Reduction of established wound diseases may not be achieved. The second pre planting spray should be applied at the final grading prior to chitting, or prior to planting if not chitted. On planter sprays may be used. This will give reduction of skin spot and silver scurf in the progeny crop. Established wound diseases may not be controlled. Treatment should be made before chitting to minimise mechanical damage One treatment programme Treatment with Fungazil 100 SL at final grading prior to chitting, or prior to planting if not chitted, will reduce skin spot and silver scurf in the progeny crop. Treatment should be made before chitting to minimise mechanical damage. Reduction of established wound diseases may not be achieved. On planter sprays may be used Rate of Application Use Fungazil 100 SL at 100 ml per tonne of ware or seed potatoes. 4. Mixing and Spraying Apply Fungazil 100 SL through canopied, hydraulic or spinning disc equipment (with or without electrostatics) mounted on a rolling conveyor or table. It may be applied diluted with water at up to 2.0 litres of spray solution per tonne of potatoes ensuring good coverage. Higher volumes within the equipment s capabilities are preferred, to obtain maximum cover of the skin, penetrate any wounds etc and hence provide the best disease control. Fill the tank with half the required volume of water. Measure the appropriate amount of Fungazil 100 SL into the tank and make up the required volume of water. Agitate thoroughly before application. On emptying the container, RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually mixing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely. ~xmam indd :35:19

3 The following does not form part of the product label under the Plant Protection Products Regulations With many products there is a general risk of resistance developing to the active ingredients. For this reason a change in activity cannot be ruled out. It is generally impossible to predict with certainty how resistance may develop because there are so many crop and use connected ways of influencing this. We therefore have to exclude liability for damage or loss attributable to any such resistance that may develop. To help minimise any loss in activity the BASF recommended rate should in all events be adhered to. Numerous, particularly regional or regionally attributable, factors can influence the activity of the product. Examples include weather and soil conditions, crop plant varieties, crop rotation, treatment times, application amounts, admixture with other products, appearance of organisms resistant to active ingredients and spraying techniques. Under particular conditions a change in activity or damage to plants cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer or supplier is therefore unable to accept any liability in such circumstances. All goods supplied by us are of high grade and we believe them to be suitable, but as we cannot exercise control over their mixing or use or the weather conditions during and after application, which may affect the performance of the material, all conditions and warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality or fitness for any purpose of our goods are excluded and no responsibility will be accepted by us for any damage or injury whatsoever arising from their storage, handling, application or use; but nothing should be deemed to exclude or restrict any liability upon us which cannot be excluded or restricted under the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or any similar applicable law. ~xmam indd :35:19
