undiluted product.
(LD50 = 5000 mg/kg)
Dermal LOW TOXICITY

Inhaled: LOW TOXICITY
Tests on rats indicate the product is NOT HARMFUL due to inhalation of the
undiluted product.
(LC50 (4 hr) > 5340 mg/m3 - highest attainable concentration)
Irritation (based on studies with rabbits using undiluted product)-
Eye: SLIGHT IRRITANT
Skin: SLIGHT IRRITANT
Sensitisation (based on studies with Guinea pigs using undiluted product)
Skin: POTENTIAL SKIN SENSITISER
Poisoning symptoms:
No case of human poisoning due to this product is on record. The poisoning symptoms observed for
laboratory mammals were non-specific and transient only. The same can be expected for humans.
CHRONIC (Active Ingredients)
Azoxystrobin technical has been extensively tested on laboratory mammals and in test-tube systems. No
evidence of mutagenic, neurotoxic, carcinogenic, teratogenic or reproductive effects was obtained.
Fludioxonil technical has been extensively tested on laboratory mammals and in test-tube systems. No
evidence of mutagenic, carcinogenic, teratogenic or reproductive effects was obtained.
Metalaxyl-M, either as technical grade metalaxyl-M or as a 50% component of technical grade metalaxyl, has
been extensively tested on laboratory mammals and in test-tube systems. No evidence of mutagenic,
teratogenic or reproductive effects was obtained.
FIRST AID
In case of poisoning by any exposure route contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone 131 126.
Swallowed: If swallowed, seek medical advice immediately and show container or label.
Eye: Flush with large quantities of clean tap water for at least 15 minutes.
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing and wash affected areas thoroughly with soap and water.
Inhaled: Move affected person to fresh air and keep at rest until recovered.
ADVICE TO DOCTOR
No specific antidote exists. Treat symptomatically. Since excretion of fludioxonil via the bile is significant, the
application of medical charcoal in a large quantity of water and a laxative may be indicated even in cases when
considerable time has elapsed since ingestion. NOTE: Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
