DIRECTIONS FOR USE

 

Section 8: APPLICATION INFORMATION AND PRECAUTIONS

 

8.1 Additional Environmental Precautions

 

Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwaters. This product may contaminate water through runoff. This product has a potential for runoff several months or more after application. Poorly draining soils and soils with shallow water tables are more prone to produce runoff that contains this product. A level, well maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential for contamination of water from rainfall-runoff. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall is forecasted to occur within 48 hours. Sound erosion control practices will reduce this product’s contribution to surface water contamination.

 

This product has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable , particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground-water contamination.

 

8.2 TANK MIXES

 

This product may be tank mixed with a fertilizer, a supplement, or with registered pest control products, whose labels also allow tank mixing, provided the entirety of both labels, including Directions For Use, Precautions, Restrictions, Environmental Precautions, and Spray Buffer Zones are followed for each product. In cases where these requirements differ between the tank mix partner labels, the most restrictive label must be followed. Do not tank mix products containing the same active ingredient unless specifically listed on this label.

 

In some cases, tank mixing pest control products can result in reduced pesticide efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact Bayer CropScience Inc. at 1-888-283-6847 or www.cropscience.bayer.ca for information before applying any tank mix that is not specifically recommended on this label.

 

Bayer CropScience Inc. has not fully assessed performance (efficacy) and/or crop tolerance (phytotoxicity) of all potential tank mixes under all environmental conditions or for all crop varieties. Tank mixes that are not specifically listed on this label should be tested on a small area first, under local conditions and using standard practices, to confirm the tank mix is suitable for widespread application. 

 

To determine the physical compatibility of this product with other products, use a jar test.

 

8.3 Ground and aerial application

 

Thorough coverage of all plant parts to be protected is essential for good disease control. Use sufficient water volume and spray pressure to provide thorough and uniform coverage for optimum disease control.

 

Ground application equipment:

 

For Fruit Crops: Apply LUNA TRANQUILITY in a minimum spray volume of 500 L/ha.

 

For Vegetable Crops: Apply LUNA TRANQUILITY by ground application equipment in a minimum spray volume of 200 L/ha.

 

Aerial application equipment:

 

Potatoes: Application by air is permitted only where specified on the label. Apply LUNA TRANQUILITY by aerial equipment in a minimum spray volume of 50 L/ha.

 

Application PRECautions:

 

Airblast application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT direct spray above plants to be treated. Turn off outward pointing nozzles at row ends and outer rows. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at the application site as measured outside of the treatment area on the upwind side.

 

Field sprayer application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1)) medium classification. Boom height must be 60 cm or less above the crop or ground.

 

Aerial application: DO NOT apply during periods of dead calm. Avoid application of this product when winds are gusty. DO NOT apply when wind speed is greater than 16 km/h at flying height at the site of application. DO NOT apply with spray droplets smaller than the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE S572.1) medium classification. To reduce drift caused by turbulent wingtip vortices, the nozzle distribution along the spray boom length MUST NOT exceed 65% of the wing- or rotor span.

 

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.

Section 11: MIXING INSTRUCTIONS

 

LUNA TRANQUILITY must be applied with properly calibrated, clean equipment.

Prior to adding LUNA TRANQUILITY to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank is thoroughly clean:

·      Add one-half of the required amount of water to the spray or mixing tank and start agitation.

·      Add the required quantity of LUNA TRANQUILITY to the water and complete filling with water to the required total volume.


 

Section 12: RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS

 

For resistance management, LUNA TRANQUILITY contains both a Group 7 and a Group 9 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to LUNA TRANQUILITY and other Group 7 or Group 9 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same field. 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 LUNA TRANQUILITY or other Group 7 and Group 9 fungicides with different groups that control the same pathogens. Do not make more than 2 sequential applications of LUNA TRANQUILITY or other fungicides in the same group in a season.

·      Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that is effective on the target pathogen when such use is permitted.

·      For Botrytis control, follow the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) guidelines for Group 9 fungicides:

Ø  Always alternate applications of LUNA TRANQUILITY or other Group 9 fungicides with fungicides having a different mode of action (different group).

Ø  In situations where 4 to 6 Botrytis treatments are made per crop and season, a maximum of 2 applications of LUNA TRANQUILITY or any other Group 9 fungicide are recommended. Where up to 3 treatments are made per season, the number of LUNA TRANQUILITY applications is limited to 1. In situations where 7 or more Botrytis treatments are made per crop and season, a maximum of 3 applications of LUNA TRANQUILITY or any other Group 9 fungicide are recommended.

·      For multi-spray crops: The total number of sprays containing Group 7 fungicides in a mixture should not exceed half of the total number of fungicide applications in a season.

·      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 if reduced sensitivity of the pathogen to LUNA TRANQUILITY 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 target site of action, if available.

·      Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated disease management program recommendations for specific crops and disease problems in your area.
