DISEASES CONTROLLED

• HERITAGE is an effective systemic fungicide, providing control of Fusarium Patch disease caused by Microdochium nivale and, as a qualified minor use recommendation, Take-All Patch disease caused by Gaeumannomyces graminis in managed amenity turf and amenity grassland.
• HERITAGE also controlls Brown patch, leaf spot/melting out, rust diseases, Type 2 Fairy Rings

• HERITAGE contains azoxystrobin which is derived from a group of naturally occurring compounds with fungicidal properties produced by various wood decaying mushrooms. The unique mode of action, extended application intervals and low dose rates confirms how important HERITAGE is as part of your disease management programme.

• HERITAGE is a water dispersible granule formulation containing 500 g/kg azoxystrobin

• HDPE containers holding between 0.1 - 0.5 kg of product

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS READ AND FOLLOW LABEL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BUYING OR USING THIS PRODUCT!

Restrictions

• Prevent spray drift on to surrounding areas. Do not apply when ground is frozen or during drought.
• Do not use 'HERITAGE' where there is a risk of spray drift onto neighbouring apple, crab apple, cherry, plum trees or privet. DO NOT use equipment used to apply 'HERITAGE' to treat these crops as unacceptable damage may occur.

Diseases Controlled

Fusarium Patch (Microdochium nivale):

• Use HERITAGE fungicide in a disease control programme, alternating applications of HERITAGE with fungicides with different modes of action, for example DACONIL TURF or DACONIL WEATHERSTIK.
• The total number of HERITAGE applications applied per annum must not exceed 1/3rd of the total number of fungicide applications, up to a maximum of 4 applications. Do not apply more than 2 sequential HERITAGE applications.

Take All Patch (Gaeumannomyces graminis):

• Apply HERITAGE as a preventative treatment at full label use rate. Begin application when conditions are favorable for disease infection prior to disease symptom development. Make 2 applications 14 days apart in the spring and 2 applications 14 days apart in the autumn.
• In addition, utilize management practices, which encourage healthy turf and reduce turf stress.

Resistance Management

Some turf disease pathogens are known to have developed resistance to products used repeatedly for their control. To ensure best control, HERITAGE fungicide should be applied at full use rates following the guidance below.

When to use

• Best results will be achieved when HERITAGE is applied as a preventive treatment at the very earliest stages of disease symptom expression.
• Begin applications when conditions are favourable for disease infection, at the beginning of disease symptom expression.

Timing

• Repeat at minimum intervals of 2 weeks. The maximum number of 'HERITAGE' applications per annum is 4 OR as described in the Resistance Management section of this label.

Rainfastness

• 2 Hours

Buffer Zone Restrictions

• None

For use only as

• A Horticultural Fungicide on managed amenity turf and amenity grassland.

Compatibility

The following tank mixes have been tested for physical compatibility with HERITAGE at recommended rates of use and will mix in the sprayer tank. No tests have been undertaken on crop safety or product performance therefore, use is at the user's own risk. Syngenta Crop Protection will support the physical compatibility of the mixes below with HERITAGE.

• Daconil Weatherstik
• H2Pro Wetting Agent
• Turfclear (sprayable with continuous agitation)

Mixing and Spraying

• 'HERITAGE' fungicide may be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making ground applications. Do not apply through ULV sprayers.
• Ensure that the sprayer is clean and set to give the correct volume and an even deposit. Do not allow spray mixture to stand overnight or for prolonged periods. Make up only the amount of spray required for immediate use.
• Thoroughly wash all spraying equipment immediately after use. Do not use silicone-based products with 'HERITAGE' fungicide.
• Tractor-mounted/trailed sprayers: Half fill the spray tank with water and begin agitation. Add the required quantity of 'HERITAGE' to the tank and complete filling. Continue agitation until spraying is completed.
• Hand-held sprayers: Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required quantity of HERITAGE to the tank. Complete filling, mix thoroughly and use immediately.

Water Volume and BCPC Spray Quality

• Apply 0.5kg 'HERITAGE' in 800 - 1000L per hectare. For spot treatments, use 5 grams 'HERITAGE' fungicide per 8 to 10 L of water. For optimum control of Take-all patch, repeat application at a minimum interval
• HERITAGE can be applied with all types of spray equipment commonly used for making ground applications. Do not apply through ULV sprayers.

Rates of Use

• Apply 0.5 kg 'HERITAGE' in 800 - 1000 L per hectare. For spot treatments, use 5 grams 'HERITAGE' fungicide per 8 to 10 L of water. For optimum control of take-all patch, repeat application at the minimum interval.

Handeling

• This material is capable of forming flammable dust clouds in air, which, if ignited, can produce a dust cloud explosion. Flames, hot surfaces, mechanical sparks and electrostatic discharges can serve as ignition sources for this material. Electrical equipment should be compatible with the flammability characteristics of this material. The flammability characteristics will be made worse if the material contains traces of flammable solvents or is handled in the presence of flammable solvents. In general personnel handling this material and all conducting equipment should be electrically earthed or grounded. Bulk bags (FIBC) used to contain this material should be Type B, Type C or Type D. Type C bags must be electrically grounded or earthed before powder is charged to or discharged from the bag. If metal or fibre drums are used to contain this material, make certain the metal parts are bonded to the filling equipment and grounded. This material could become charged under certain conditions such as pneumatic conveying. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.

Storage

• Safe storage advice:Keep containers tightly closed in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.  Keep out of reach of children.  Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs.
• Storage Life: Physically and chemically stable for at least 2 years when stored in the original unopened sales container at ambient temperatures.
• Store away from seeds, fertilizers and composts.
• WASH OUT CONTAINER THOROUGHLY, empty washings into spray tank and dispose of safely.
• KEEP IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER, tightly closed, in a safe place.

Disposal

• Product: Do not contaminate ponds, waterways or ditches with chemical or used container.  Do not dispose of waste into sewer.  Where possible recycling is preferred to disposal or incineration.  If recycling is not practicable, dispose of in compliance with local regulations.
