SAFETY AND HANDLING

 

Section 2:  Precautions, Protective Clothing & Equipment, and Re-entry Restriction.

 

PRECAUTIONS:

KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. May irritate eyes.  Harmful if swallowed, inhaled or absorbed through skin. Prolonged or frequently repeated skin contact may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Wear protective eyewear. Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, or smoking. If product comes in contact with clothing, remove all contaminated clothing, wash skin with soap and water and dress in clean clothing. Launder applicator clothing separate from other laundry.  Apply only when the potential for drift to areas of human habitation or areas of human activity such as houses, cottages, schools and recreational areas is minimal. Take into consideration wind speed, wind direction, temperature inversions, application equipment and sprayer settings. DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 days after an application to perform detasseling in corn. For all other activities in all crops, DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the REI of 24 hours.  If this pest control product is to be used on a commodity that may be exported and you require information regarding Maximum Residue Limits for an importing country, please contact Bayer CropScience Canada Inc. at 1-888-283-6847 or www.cropscience.bayer.ca.

Section 8:  Resistance Management

 

Resistance Management Recommendations:

For resistance management, please note that DELARO 325 SC Fungicide contains Group 3 and 11 fungicides.  Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to DELARO 325 SC Fungicide and other Group 3 and 11 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields.  Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action, but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist.  Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.

 

To delay fungicide resistance:

·      Where possible, rotate the use of DELARO 325 SC Fungicide or other Group 3 and 11 fungicides with different groups that control the same pathogens.

·      Do not apply more than the indicated maximum number of applications per year specified for each crop in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE, Section 7 table.

·      Fungicide use should be based on an integrated disease management program that includes scouting, historical information related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.

·      Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications.

·      Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. Notify Bayer CropScience if reduced sensitivity of the pathogen to DELARO 325 SC Fungicide is suspected.  If disease continues to progress after treatment with this product, do not increase the use rate.  Discontinue use of this product, and switch to another fungicide with a different site of action, if available.

·      Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.

·      For further information and to report suspected resistance, contact a Bayer CropScience representative at 1-888-283-6847 or at www.cropscience.bayer.ca .

 

 

Section 9:  Application Precautions

 

GROUND APPLICATION:

1.              Use well-maintained and calibrated conventional spray equipment, which provides adequate and uniform coverage.

2.              Apply DELARO 325 SC Fungicide in a minimum of 100 L water/ha, unless otherwise specified in DIRECTIONS FOR USE, Section 7.

3.              Spray screens should be no finer than 50 mesh.

4.              Ensure that the by-pass line discharges at the bottom of the tank to minimize foaming.

5.              Maintain pressure at no less than 275 kPa to ensure good foliage penetration and coverage.

6.              Provincial buffer zones that are greater than the buffer zones indicated in the DIRECTIONS FOR USE, Section 7, should be respected.

7.              If spray mixture remains in the tank overnight, or for long periods during the day, agitate thoroughly prior to application.

 

AERIAL APPLICATION-GENERAL INFORMATION:

 

1.              Apply only by fixed-wing or rotary aircraft equipment which has been functionally and operationally calibrated for the atmospheric conditions of the area and the application rates and conditions of this label.

2.              Label rates, conditions and precautions are product specific.  Read and understand the entire label before opening this product.  Apply only at the rate recommended for aerial application on this label. Where no rate for aerial application appears for the specific use, this product cannot be applied by any type of aerial equipment.
