For advice contact the National PoisonsCentre 0800 POISON (0800 764 766) or a doctor immediately. If skin or hair contact occurs,remove contaminated clothing and flush skin and hair with running water. If splashed ineyes, wash out immediately with water. If inhaled, move victim to fresh air immediately.Begin artificial respiration if breathing has stopped.Spillage: Wear appropriate protective clothing and prevent material from enteringwaterways. Contain liquid spills and absorb with inert material. Wash area with water andabsorb with further inert material. Dispose of waste safely in an approved landfill.Transport: Do not carry Tri-Base Blue on a passenger service vehicle.Record Keeping: Records of use as described in NZS8409 Management of Agrichemicalsmust be kept if 3 litres or more of Tri-Base Blue is applied within 24 hours.Mixing: Shake or stir well before use. Add two thirds of the required quantity of water tothe spray tank and with the agitation system going, slowly add the Tri-Base Blue. Continueagitating while filling with water. The addition of insecticides, spreader-stickers etc, shouldbe made last after Tri-Base Blue has been thoroughly mixed. Agitate thoroughly before andduring spraying and before recommencing spraying after a stoppage. Commonly usedspray adjuvants may be added to the tank mixture to enhance wetting and spreading onhard-to-wet crops such as brassicas, peas and onions.Resistance Management: Tri-Base Blue is a member of the inorganic coppergroup of fungicides with multi-site activity. Tri-Base Blue is a GROUP Y FUNGICIDESome naturally occurring fungi resistant to Tri-Base Blue and other Group Yfungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. Theresistant individuals can eventually dominate the population if these fungicides are usedrepeatedly. The resistant fungi will not be controlled by Tri-Base Blue or other Group Yfungicides. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use,Nufarm Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure ofTri-Base Blue to control resistant fungi. To prevent or delay the development of resistanceuse Tri-Base blue in tank mixtures where appropriate, and/or in rotation with fungicideshaving a different mode of action.

Directions for Use:It is an offence to use this product on animals.Tri-Base Blue may be applied through standard ground and aerial spray equipment using nozzlesand pressures which produce a medium to fine spray. The recommended dilution rates are for highvolume spraying to runoff. The volume of water applied per hectare will depend on the crop beingsprayed and should be increased during the season to ensure complete coverage of the growing crop.For concentrate spraying apply the same volume of Tri-Base Blue per hectare as for dilute sprays.In conditions of severe disease pressure use the higher recommended rates and reduce the sprayinterval.Warning: Soft growth of some plant species may be hardened or injured by copper sprays. Do notuse on copper-shy crops or cultivars. Discontinue use on any crop if signs of injury occur. Do notapply if temperatures exceed 35°C. Do not apply to wet crops or if it is likely to rain before the sprayis dry. Do not use in spray solutions less than pH 6.5.FRUIT CROPSAvocados AnthracnoseBerryfruitCitrusCropFeijoasGrapesDiseaseCane wiltLeaf spotCane spotSpur blightMelanose280ml280ml280mlBrown rot 420mlLeaf spot 280ml(Glomerellasphaceloma)Downy mildew 250-350mlRatePer 100L Per Hectare2.8-5.6L Apply at monthly intervals from(mature trees) flowering until harvest.
