EXPORT OF TREATED PRODUCE Export produce or animals must have appropriate residue tolerance limits established in the importing countries and any residues must not exceed the tolerance limit. Growers should note that MRLs or import tolerances may not exist in all markets for product treated with CHIEF® TOPFLO Fungicide. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Adama Australia for latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using CHIEF® TOPFLO Fungicide.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS CHIEF® TOPFLO Fungicide is a dicarboximide contact fungicide with protective and curative action. The active constituent iprodione inhibits germination of spores and growth of fungal mycelium. CHIEF® TOPFLO is a water based flowable fungicide offering good crop safety and is non-phytotoxic when used as directed. CHIEF® TOPFLO may be used in orchard spraying and post-harvest dip applications as directed to control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases.
MIXING Note: CHIEF® TOPFLO may be unstable in conditions where the pH is 7 or higher. It is therefore essential to check the pH of the spray solution before adding CHIEF® TOPFLO. A suitable registered buffering agent may have to be added to bring pH down below 7 (e.g. SprayBuff#). Add the required amount of CHIEF® TOPFLO to the spray tank containing half the required volume of water. Mix thoroughly and make up to the required volume with water.
APVMA Approval No.: 85267/112796 Chief® Topflo Fungicide PAGE 6 OF 6
TURF NUTRITION This product acts very rapidly and where the turf is of a 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. Application should be made using sufficient water to ensure thorough coverage.
Tree and Vine Crops Dilute Spraying Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water 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 water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off. The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or 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 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 the concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water 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 water volume. Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (See Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate. The mixing rate for concentrate can then be calculated in the following way: EXAMPLE ONLY
- Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example, 1500 L/ha.
- Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example, 500 L/ha.
- The concentration factor in this example is: 3x (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3).
- If the dilute label rate is 10 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x10, that is 30 mL/100 L of concentrate spraying. The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation may need to be changed as the crop grows. For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.
FUNGICIDE RESISTANCE WARNING CHIEF® TOPFLO Fungicide is a member of the Dicarboximide group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, the product is a Group 2 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 2 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by this CHIEF® TOPFLO or other Group 2 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Adama Australia accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.
PRECAUTIONS Re-entry period Grapevines: For girdling and turning do not enter treated areas until day 2 after application. Turf: For transplanting and hand weeding do not enter treated areas until day 5 after application. For crops with a re-entry interval, if prior entry is necessary, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and chemical resistant gloves. Clothing must be laundered after each day’s use. For all other crops: Do not enter treated areas until the spray has dried. When tank mixed with other products, consult also the Safety Directions and Re-entry Precautions for those products.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with chemical or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Store in the closed, original container in a cool, well-ventilated area. Protect from frost. DO NOT store for prolonged periods in direct sunlight. Triple rinse containers before disposal. Add rinsings to spray tank. Do not dispose of undiluted chemicals on-site. If recycling, replace cap and return clean containers to recycler or designated collection point. If not recycling, break, crush, or puncture and deliver empty packaging to an approved waste management facility. If an approved waste management facility is not available bury the empty packaging 500 mm below the surface in a disposal pit specifically marked and set up for this purpose clear of waterways, desirable vegetation and tree roots, in compliance with relevant Local, State or Territory government regulations. Do not burn empty containers or product.
SAFETY DIRECTIONS May irritate the eyes and skin. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. When opening the container, preparing and using the product, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow-length chemical resistant gloves.
