PRODUCT LABEL

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

KAYAK is an emulsifiable concentrate formulation containing 300 g/l cyprodinil for use as a fungicide on winter and spring barley.

DISEASES CONTROLLED
Eyespot (Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides)
Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe graminis)
Net Blotch (Pyrenophora teres)
Rhynchosporium secalis

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Crops
All varieties of winter and spring barley.

Timing
Treatment at early stages of disease development will ensure the best results. Further applications may be needed if disease attack is prolonged.

Eyespot: For best control of eyespot spray KAYAK before or during the period of stem extension in the spring (GS30–32). Control of eyespot may be reduced when very dry conditions follow application.

Powdery Mildew, Net Blotch, Rhynchosporium: Application at first signs of disease is recommended.

Rates of use
Apply 1.5 litres of product per hectare. With a maximum treatment of 3.0 litres product per hectare (2 treatments per crop).

The latest time of application for KAYAK is before first spikelet of inflorescence just visible stage.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume. In all cases add KAYAK to the spray tank first, followed by any additional products. Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of KAYAK to the spray tank. Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and continue agitation during spraying. Thoroughly wash all spray equipment with water immediately after use.

Wash out containers thoroughly, preferably using an integrated pressure rinsing device, or manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling. Complete filling to the required volume and continue to agitate throughout the spraying operation.

Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (such as during meal breaks or overnight).

Spray Application
Apply KAYAK in 200 litres of water per hectare using a tractor-mounted sprayer and a medium spray as defined by BCPC. A spray pressure of 2–3 bars is recommended.

Thoroughly wash all spray equipment with water after use.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
KAYAK contains the aniline-pyrimidine fungicide cyprodinil. To reduce the risk of diseases developing resistance to cyprodinil, KAYAK should be used as part of a resistance management strategy that includes fungicides with a different mode of action.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(a) Operator protection
Engineering control of operator exposure must be used where reasonably practicable in addition to the following Personal Protective Equipment:
WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS), SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling the concentrate.
WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling contaminated surfaces.
However engineering controls may replace personal protective equipment if a COSHH assessment shows they provide an equal or higher standard of protection.
WASH SPLASHES from skin and eyes immediately.
WASH HANDS AND EXPOSED SKIN before eating, drinking or smoking and after work.

(b) Environmental protection
To protect aquatic organisms, respect an unsprayed buffer zone distance to surface water bodies in line with LERAP requirements.

DO NOT ALLOW DIRECT SPRAY from horizontal boom sprayers to fall within 5 m of the top of the bank of a static or flowing waterbody, unless a Local Environmental Risk Assessment for Pesticides (LERAP) permits a narrower buffer zone, or within 1 m of the top of a ditch which is dry at the time of application. DO NOT ALLOW DIRECT SPRAY from hand held sprayers to fall within 1 m of the top of the bank of a static or flowing waterbody. Aim spray away from water.

This product qualifies for inclusion within the Local Environmental Risk Assessment for Pesticides (LERAP) Scheme. Before each spraying operation from a horizontal boom sprayer or broadcast air assisted sprayer either a LERAP must be carried out in accordance with CRD published guidance or the statutory buffer zone must be maintained. The results of the LERAP must be recorded and kept available for inspection for three years.

Do not contaminate water with the product or its container. Do not clean application equipment near surface water. Avoid contamination via drains from farmyards and roads.

(c) Storage and disposal
KEEP IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER, tightly closed, in a safe place.
DO NOT RE-USE CONTAINER FOR ANY PURPOSE.
RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of safely.
