DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRAINTS DO NOT apply by aircraft. DO NOT apply by a vertical sprayer. DO NOT apply if heavy rains or storms are forecast within 3 days. DO NOT irrigate to the point of runoff for at least 3 days after application. DO NOT apply where the slope exceeds 12%. DO NOT apply to water-logged soil. DO NOT apply more than a total of 6 L of Lexicon/ha/year. DO NOT use this product through any type of irrigation system.
SPRAY DRIFT RESTRAINTS Specific definitions for terms used in this section of the label can be found at DO NOT allow bystanders to come into contact with the spray cloud. DO NOT apply in a manner that may cause an unacceptable impact to native vegetation, agricultural crops, landscaped gardens and aquaculture production, or cause contamination of plant or livestock commodities, outside the application site from spray drift. The buffer zones in the buffer zone table below provide guidance but may not be sufficient in all situations. Wherever possible, correctly use application equipment designed to reduce spray drift and apply when the wind direction is away from these sensitive areas. DO NOT apply unless the wind speed is between 3 and 20 kilometres per hour at the application site during the time of application. DO NOT apply if there are surface temperature inversion conditions present at the application site during the time of application. These conditions exist most evenings one to two hours before sunset and persist until one to two hours after sunrise. DO NOT apply by a boom sprayer unless the following requirements are met: • Spray droplets are not smaller than a COARSE spray droplet size category. • Minimum distances between the application site and downwind sensitive areas are observed (see following table titled “Buffer Zones for Boom Sprayer”).

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS LEXICON® INTRINSIC BRAND FUNGICIDE has been tested across a range of turf grass species and has been demonstrated not to cause injury. However, due to the variability in turf grass species, tank mixes and application techniques, it is recommended that a small test area (under similar conditions to the broader area) be treated first and effects monitored for 14 days.
APPLICATION Good disease control requires even coverage. Application should be made using sufficient water to ensure even coverage. Lower water rates can be used for foliar diseases. For soil and root based disease control, higher water rates are recommended.
RESISTANCE WARNING GROUP 7 11 FUNGICIDE LEXICON® INTRINSIC BRAND FUNGICIDE is a member of the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor and strobilurin groups of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management, the product is a Group 7 & Group 11 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to LEXICON and other Group 7 & Group 11 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant fungi may not be controlled by LEXICON and other Group 7 & Group 11 fungicides thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by LEXICON or other Group 7 or Group 11 fungicides. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, BASF Australia Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.
PRECAUTION Re-entry Period DO NOT allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried. When 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.
PROTECTION OF LIVESTOCK DO NOT graze treated turf or lawn; or feed turf or lawn clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEANS AND ENVIRONMENT Very toxic to aquatic life. DO NOT contaminate wetlands or watercourses with this product or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL Store in the closed, original container in a dry, cool, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Triple-rinse containers before disposal. Dispose of rinsate or any undiluted chemical according to state/territory legislative requirements. 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 Harmful if swallowed. May irritate the skin. Avoid contact with the skin. When opening the container, preparing spray and using prepared spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing) and elbow length chemical resistant gloves. Wash hands after use. After each day's use, wash contaminated clothing and gloves.
FIRST AID If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Telephone 13 11 26 Australia-wide. If in eyes, hold eyes open, flood with water for at least 15 minutes and see a doctor.
