Empty product container thoroughly and dispose of safely.Add the remainder of the water.Apply immediately and continue agitation until spraying, irrigation or drenching is complete.Wash sprayer or flush out drench or irrigation equipment thoroughly immediately after use, using clean water and following best practice advice and the guidance provided by the equipment manufacturer.Do not apply via knapsack sprayers.

The following does not form part of the product label under the UK Plant Protection Products Regulations or the Irish S.I. No. 159 of 2012.

With many products there is a general risk of resistance developing to the active ingredients. For this reason a change in activity cannot be ruled out. It is generally impossible to predict with certainty how resistance may develop because there are so many crop and use connected ways of

influencing this. We therefore have to exclude liability for damage or loss attributable to any such resistance that may develop. To help minimise any loss in activity the BASF recommended rate should in all events be adhered to.

Numerous, particularly regional or regionally attributable, factors can influence the activity of the product. Examples include weather and soil conditions, crop plant varieties, crop rotation, treatment times, application amounts, admixture with other products, appearance of organisms resistant to active ingredients and spraying techniques. Under particular conditions a change in activity or damage to plants cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer or supplier is therefore unable to accept any liability in such circumstances. All goods supplied by us are of high grade and we believe them to be suitable, but as we cannot exercise control over their mixing or use or the weather conditions during and after application, which may affect the performance of the material, all conditions and warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality or fitness for any purpose of our goods are excluded and no responsibility will be accepted by us for any damage or injury whatsoever arising from their storage, handling, application or use; but nothing should be deemed to exclude or restrict any liability upon us which cannot be excluded or restricted under the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or any similar applicable law.

Examples include weather and soil conditions, crop plant varieties, crop rotation, treatment times, application amounts, admixture with other products, appearance of organisms resistant to active ingredients and spraying techniques. Under particular conditions a change in activity or damage to plants cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer or supplier is therefore unable to accept any liability in such circumstances. All goods supplied by us are of high grade and we believe them to be suitable, but as we cannot exercise control over their mixing or use or the weather conditions during and after application, which may affect the performance of the material, all conditions and warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality or fitness for any purpose of our goods are excluded and no responsibility will be accepted by us for any damage or injury whatsoever arising from their storage, handling, application or use; but nothing should be deemed to exclude or restrict any liability upon us which cannot be excluded or restricted under the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or any similar applicable law.

DIRECTIONS FOR USEIMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.1. Restrictions/Warnings For professional use only. 1.1 Processed cropsConsult processor before use on crops for processing2. Disease controlRigel is a fungicide with protectant activity against crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum) in strawberries and root rot (Phytophthora spp.) in raspberries and blackberries. Rigel will be most effective when applied as a protectant treatment immediately after planting, before disease symptoms appear.2.1 ResistanceRigel contains dimethomorph, a CAA fungicide. It should be used in accordance with FRAC resistance management advice for CAA fungicides.In outdoor and protected crops of strawberries, no more than one application of Rigel per year may be made for moderate control of crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum). Applications should be made preventatively after planting.In raspberries and blackberries, no more than one application of Rigel per year may be made for moderate control of root rot (Phytophthora spp.). Applications should be made preventatively immediately after planting in the spring or autumn. Alternation with fungicides with different modes of

action to Rigel is recommended as part of a resistance management programme. CAA fungicides should not make up more than 50% of the intended number of fungicide applications for Phytophthora disease control in strawberries, raspberries and blackberries.Use Rigel as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control, including where appropriate fungicides with a different mode of action.3. Crops3.1 Outdoor strawberries Time of applicationFor the moderate control of crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum) apply Rigel as a preventative treatment immediately after planting.Rate of applicationApply Rigel at 3.0 kg/ha as a high volume spray of 600–1000 litres of water per hectare, ensuring good coverage around the base of the plant.3.2 Protected strawberries Time of applicationFor the moderate control of crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum), apply Rigel as a preventative treatment immediately after planting.Rate of applicationApply Rigel as a drip irrigation or root drench treatment of 0.1 gram of product per plant, not exceeding 3.0 kg of product/ha.Rigel may be used at the following dilutions and water volumes: 1g Rigel/litre of water - use 100 ml/plant0.5g Rigel/litre of water - use 200 ml/plant 0.25g Rigel/litre of

water - use 400 ml/plant

3.3 Raspberries and blackberries (outdoor and protected) – qualified minor use recommendation Time of applicationFor the moderate control of root rot (Phytophthora spp.) apply Riigel as a preventative treatment immediately after planting in the spring or autumn.Rate of applicationApply as a drip irrigation or root drench treatment delivering 1.0 g of Rigel per plant, not exceeding 3.0 kg of product/ha.Rigel may be used at the following dilutions and water volumes: 5g Rigel/litre of water - use 200 ml/plant2.5g Rigel/litre of water - use 400 ml/plant*There is limited evidence of crop safety and/or product efficacy available for Qualified Minor uses and the commercial risk of using this product under this Qualified Minor use is borne entirely by the grower.

4. Succeeding CropsFollowing application of Rigel, allow 10 months before sowing clover.5. Mixing and ApplicationIn outdoor strawberries, Rigel should be applied as a COARSE spray as defined by BCPC, using a high volume drenching spray of 600–1000 litres of water per hectare, using hydraulic nozzles and ensuring good coverage around the base of the plant. In protected crops of strawberries, Rigel should be applied via drip irrigation or as a root drench delivering at least 100 ml of water per plant. In outdoor or protected raspberries and blackberries, Rigel should be applied via drip irrigation or as a root drench delivering at least 200 ml of water per plant.Half fill the sprayer, drench or irrigation tank with clean water and start agitation.Steadily add the required quantity of Rigel direct to the spray, drench or irrigation tank (pre-mixing is not necessary). Empty product container thoroughly and dispose of safely.Add the remainder of the water.Apply immediately and continue agitation until spraying, irrigation or drenching is complete.Wash sprayer or flush out drench or irrigation equipment thoroughly immediately after use, using clean water and following best practice advice and the guidance provided by the equipment manufacturer.Do not apply via knapsack sprayers.

The following does not form part of the product label under the UK Plant Protection Products Regulations or the Irish S.I. No. 159 of 2012.

With many products there is a general risk of resistance developing to the active ingredients. For this reason a change in activity cannot be ruled out. It is generally impossible to predict with certainty how resistance may develop because there are so many crop and use connected ways of

influencing this. We therefore have to exclude liability for damage or loss attributable to any such resistance that may develop. To help minimise any loss in activity the BASF recommended rate should in all events be adhered to.

Numerous, particularly regional or regionally attributable, factors can influence the activity of the product. Examples include weather and soil conditions, crop plant varieties, crop rotation, treatment times, application amounts, admixture with other products, appearance of organisms resistant to active ingredients and spraying techniques. Under particular conditions a change in activity or damage to plants cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer or supplier is therefore unable to accept any liability in such circumstances. All goods supplied by us are of high grade and we believe them to be suitable, but as we cannot exercise control over their mixing or use or the weather conditions during and after application, which may affect the performance of the material, all conditions and warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality or fitness for any purpose of our goods are excluded and no responsibility will be accepted by us for any damage or injury whatsoever arising from their storage, handling, application or use; but nothing should be deemed to exclude or restrict any liability upon us which cannot be excluded or restricted under the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or any similar applicable law.

Empty product container thoroughly and dispose of safely.Add the remainder of the water.Apply immediately and continue agitation until spraying, irrigation or drenching is complete.Wash sprayer or flush out drench or irrigation equipment thoroughly immediately after use, using clean water and following best practice advice and the guidance provided by the equipment manufacturer.Do not apply via knapsack sprayers.

The following does not form part of the product label under the UK Plant Protection Products Regulations or the Irish S.I. No. 159 of 2012.

With many products there is a general risk of resistance developing to the active ingredients. For this reason a change in activity cannot be ruled out. It is generally impossible to predict with certainty how resistance may develop because there are so many crop and use connected ways of

influencing this. We therefore have to exclude liability for damage or loss attributable to any such resistance that may develop. To help minimise any loss in activity the BASF recommended rate should in all events be adhered to.

Numerous, particularly regional or regionally attributable, factors can influence the activity of the product. Examples include weather and soil conditions, crop plant varieties, crop rotation, treatment times, application amounts, admixture with other products, appearance of organisms resistant to active ingredients and spraying techniques. Under particular conditions a change in activity or damage to plants cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer or supplier is therefore unable to accept any liability in such circumstances. All goods supplied by us are of high grade and we believe them to be suitable, but as we cannot exercise control over their mixing or use or the weather conditions during and after application, which may affect the performance of the material, all conditions and warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality or fitness for any purpose of our goods are excluded and no responsibility will be accepted by us for any damage or injury whatsoever arising from their storage, handling, application or use; but nothing should be deemed to exclude or restrict any liability upon us which cannot be excluded or restricted under the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or any similar applicable law.

Section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work Act Additional Product Safety InformationThe product label provides information on a specific pesticidal use of the product; do not use otherwise, unless you have assessed any potential hazard involved, the safety measures required and that the particular use has ‚off-label‘ approval or is otherwise permitted under the Plant Protection Products Regulations.The information on this label is based on the best available information including data from test results

Empty product container thoroughly and dispose of safely.Add the remainder of the water.Apply immediately and continue agitation until spraying, irrigation or drenching is complete.Wash sprayer or flush out drench or irrigation equipment thoroughly immediately after use, using clean water and following best practice advice and the guidance provided by the equipment manufacturer.Do not apply via knapsack sprayers.

The following does not form part of the product label under the UK Plant Protection Products Regulations or the Irish S.I. No. 159 of 2012.

With many products there is a general risk of resistance developing to the active ingredients. For this reason a change in activity cannot be ruled out. It is generally impossible to predict with certainty how resistance may develop because there are so many crop and use connected ways of

influencing this. We therefore have to exclude liability for damage or loss attributable to any such resistance that may develop. To help minimise any loss in activity the BASF recommended rate should in all events be adhered to.

Numerous, particularly regional or regionally attributable, factors can influence the activity of the product. Examples include weather and soil conditions, crop plant varieties, crop rotation, treatment times, application amounts, admixture with other products, appearance of organisms resistant to active ingredients and spraying techniques. Under particular conditions a change in activity or damage to plants cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer or supplier is therefore unable to accept any liability in such circumstances. All goods supplied by us are of high grade and we believe them to be suitable, but as we cannot exercise control over their mixing or use or the weather conditions during and after application, which may affect the performance of the material, all conditions and warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality or fitness for any purpose of our goods are excluded and no responsibility will be accepted by us for any damage or injury whatsoever arising from their storage, handling, application or use; but nothing should be deemed to exclude or restrict any liability upon us which cannot be excluded or restricted under the provisions of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or any similar applicable law.

All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.1. Restrictions/Warnings For professional use only. 1.1 Processed cropsConsult processor before use on crops for processing2. Disease controlRigel is a fungicide with protectant activity against crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum) in strawberries and root rot (Phytophthora spp.) in raspberries and blackberries. Rigel will be most effective when applied as a protectant treatment immediately after planting, before disease symptoms appear.2.1 ResistanceRigel contains dimethomorph, a CAA fungicide. It should be used in accordance with FRAC resistance management advice for CAA fungicides.In outdoor and protected crops of strawberries, no more than one application of Rigel per year may be made for moderate control of crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum). Applications should be made preventatively after planting.In raspberries and blackberries, no more than one application of Rigel per year may be made for moderate control of root rot (Phytophthora spp.). Applications should be made preventatively immediately after planting in the spring or autumn. Alternation with fungicides with different modes of

action to Rigel is recommended as part of a resistance management programme. CAA fungicides should not make up more than 50% of the intended number of fungicide applications for Phytophthora disease control in strawberries, raspberries and blackberries.Use Rigel as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control, including where appropriate fungicides with a different mode of action.3. Crops3.1 Outdoor strawberries Time of applicationFor the moderate control of crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum) apply Rigel as a preventative treatment immediately after planting.Rate of applicationApply Rigel at 3.0 kg/ha as a high volume spray of 600–1000 litres of water per hectare, ensuring good coverage around the base of the plant.3.2 Protected strawberries Time of applicationFor the moderate control of crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum), apply Rigel as a preventative treatment immediately after planting.Rate of applicationApply Rigel as a drip irrigation or root drench treatment of 0.1 gram of product per plant, not exceeding 3.0 kg of product/ha.Rigel may be used at the following dilutions and water volumes: 1g Rigel/litre of water - use 100 ml/plant0.5g Rigel/litre of water - use 200 ml/plant 0.25g Rigel/litre of
