Organochlorine and other chemical residuesOrchards and old orchard sites are often contaminated with organochlorine pesticides such as dieldrin, heptachlor and DDT, which slowly break down in the soil. There is a danger that grazing animals, particularly cattle and poultry, will become contaminated with these pesticides and have meat and/or eggs high in residues. Areas of old orchard that have been planted to grapes and may be grazed by cattle, sheep or poultry can be soil tested to determine if there is a contamination risk from grazing these areas.

In addition to the risk posed by organochlorines, there may also be risks of pesticide residues in grazing animals from other pesticides that have been used in the past or are being used for pest control in the vineyard. Some examples of pesticide risk include poultry feeding on contaminated adult garden weevils or on baits used to manage European earwig or wingless grasshoppers.

Details concerning chickens, eggs and organochlorines; and sheep and organochlorine residues can be found on the DAFWA website.

Further information or queries on pesticide residue risks to grazing animals can be made to Anita James at the Department of Agriculture and Food, Bunbury on (08) 9780 6100.

drumMUSTER and ChemClear®

drumMUSTER and ChemClear® are important industry stewardship programs run by Agsafe as part of the Industry Waste Reduction Scheme (IWRS).

Agsafe works with governments, farmer groups, communities, local government and regulatory authorities involved in the disposal of agvet chemicals and containers to further develop and expand the success of the two programs.

IWRS is a joint venture of CropLife Australia, Animal Medicines Australia, Veterinary Manufacturers and Distributors Association, National Farmers’ Federation and the Australian Local Government Association.

drumMUSTER is the national program for the collection and recycling of empty, clean, non-returnable metal and plastic farm chemical containers.

Chemical users throughout Australia are encouraged to deliver their drums to one of 790 drumMUSTER collection sites on designated collection days.

Trained inspectors receive and examine each drum onsite to ensure that every container delivered is free of chemical residue and therefore safe to transport and recycle. Metal drums should be punctured from the top through the bottom and lids removed from all containers.

Each container delivered to drumMUSTER is shredded or granulated and transformed into new products including road signs, irrigation piping, plant stakes, plastic cable covers and outdoor furniture.

The drumMUSTER program offers many benefits:

It is an environmentally responsible solution for chemical users to dispose of their empty containers.

Helps property owners keep their farms free of potential contamination.

Encourages good farming practice.

Provides documentation for chemical users to meet the requirements of quality assurance programs.

Supports the preservation of the environment.

ChemClear® is the national program for collection and disposal of unwanted or unknown chemicals. The program’s objective is to minimise the accumulation of unwanted chemicals on farms which may create potential risks to the environment, public health and trade.

Two categories of agvet chemicals are collected by ChemClear®:

Group 1 chemicals are currently registered products manufactured by participating companies signed to the Industry Waste Reduction Agreement. These products are collected free of charge.

Group 2 chemicals are products manufactured by non-participating companies, deregistered, unknown, mixed or out-of-date products. A fee for collection applies.

11

The service is easy to use:

Waste holders are required to take an inventory of their unwanted chemicals and register them for collection by phoning a toll-free number or completing an online form (details below).

Once the booking is lodged and confirmed, waste holders continue to store their products until a collection in their area is scheduled.

Collections are state-based and routes are planned when registered bookings reach a quantity threshold.

Collections are undertaken in the registered waste holder’s shire council area.

Prior to a collection, registered waste holders are contacted and advised of the retrieval location and date. An appointment time is also negotiated.

Waste holders are required to transport their chemicals to their nominated collection site and meet the ChemClear® retrieval vehicle.

Withholding periods and maximum residue limits (MRLs)Use of agricultural chemicals may leave residues on fruit. The level of residue that remains at harvest depends on the chemical, the formulation, application rate, method of application, time and number of treatments, use of adjuvants, the interval since the last application and climatic conditions.

12

http://www.chemclear.com.au/


http://www.drummuster.com.au/


Limits for these residues are determined in various countries by health authorities. These limits are called Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and are set to ensure correct use of pesticides (good agricultural practice) and to prevent consumers from taking in excessive residues. Grape growers are responsible to ensure that grapes they sell do not exceed MRLs for the chemicals they apply.

Label rates for horticultural chemicals have been calculated so that, provided the label rate is followed and withholding periods observed, Australian MRLs are not exceeded. The withholding period for a particular pesticide is the minimum time between when the crop is last sprayed and when it is picked. This withholding period may vary for different crops.

A withholding period of seven days means that the grower must wait for seven days between the last application of the pesticide and before the crop is picked. Growers applying chemicals at the correct rate and observing the withholding period before harvest should produce fruit with residues lower than the MRL for Australia.

Growers involved in production of grapes or wine for export should be aware that other countries may have different or no MRLs for chemicals used in Australia. If the importing country has a lower MRL than the Australian MRL, longer withholding periods or changed rates of application may be necessary. If the importing country has no MRL set for a chemical used in Australia, that chemical should not be applied to the crop as any detectable residue on the fruit will be unacceptable.

Growers exporting grapes or wine should contact their exporters, winery or the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI) before spraying to ensure that MRLs in the export markets are not exceeded. Refer to the AWRI webpage on MRLs for further information.

Chemical labels, permits and material safety data sheetsChemical labels — A chemical label is a legally binding document. To use a product other than in the manner specified on the label is permitted only in situations described as ‘low risk use’.

Permits — In special cases a product may be used in a manner different to that specified on the label by obtaining a ‘permit’ from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). Various types of permits are available:

Permit to export unapproved active constituent or unregistered product.

Permit where a previous assessment remains valid (renewal).

Permit for minor use.

Permit for emergency use.

Permit for research or other miscellaneous permit.

In the section on spray options for the various commodity groups, some chemicals listed for use in WA vineyards are under an APVMA permit for minor use. For such chemicals, the permit number and expiry date are listed in the comments column. Copies of permits for minor use are available from the website apvma.gov.au.

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

Are available for each chemical to supplement the information provided on the label. They are not part of, nor a substitute for, the chemical label. Any farm chemical handled or stored on a property must have an up-to-date MSDS available on the premises in a known location.

The Occupational Safety and Health Regulations 1996 require that an MSDS be supplied at the first sale of a hazardous chemical and thereafter upon request. The MSDS of a chemical must be shown to any persons employed on that property, prior to using the product.

These sheets are available from chemical company websites. One website that stores a large number is MSDS Australia at msds.com.au.

Regulation change – low risk new pesticide uses

As published in the WA Government Gazette , 1 February 2011 No. 14 , The Health Department of WA has modified the Health (Pesticides) Regulations 1956 to provide a more flexible approach for agricultural pesticide use, particularly in relation to low risk uses.

These amendments relate to Regulation 87 of the new regulations that allow the following practices, in agricultural situations only:

Use of a pesticide for an unspecified pest on a registered crop.

Use of a pesticide at a lower frequency than that shown on the label.

Use of a pesticide at a lower rate of application than that shown on the label.

Use of a pesticide for a crop/pest combination registered in another jurisdiction, provided the pesticide is registered for use in Western Australia and the label does not prohibit the use in Western Australia.

Safety for beesBees actively foraging on flowers either in the crop or on ground covers may be adversely affected by insecticide applications. The time of application and insecticide used will influence the level of damage. Some insecticides have very low toxicity to bees and are able to be applied even when the bees are foraging. Other short residual insecticides will be safe to bees if applied in the evening or at night when the bees are not foraging. More persistent insecticides may remain toxic to bees well after application.

Foraging bees may bring contaminated pollen or nectar back to the hive. This is fed to the house bees which then feed the larvae and queen. In this way the whole colony may be killed.

Symptoms of bee toxicity vary:

There may be a sticky mass of bees dying in front of the hive.

Bees may move very slowly.

Bees may exhibit strange and aggressive behaviour.

The insecticide carbaryl is very toxic to bees and carbaryl-contaminated pollen may remain toxic for up to eight months when stored in the hive.

Food safety – Beekeepers in districts where vineyards are located in forest areas will be sourcing honey from eucalypts and in some instances the bees will be attracted to ground flora (weeds) from properties and this nectar will be collected and stored as honey within the hive and harvested and sold for human consumption. Sub-lethal levels of chemical can enter the food chain in this way.

Be aware of the bee toxicity rating of any pesticide used and whether bee hives are located near the vineyard. Advise the beekeeper before toxic chemicals are applied.

15

Pesticide applicationThe good work of monitoring for pests to decide on the need for and timing of pesticide application, and correct selection of a pesticide to control the pest, will be negated by poor application technique. When using pesticides to control pests and diseases, and herbicides to control weeds, it is essential that these be applied safely and effectively.

Incorrect spray application can result in major pesticide wastage or phytotoxicity. Pesticide wastage or over-spraying may result in residues that exceed the maximum residue limit (MRL), is costly and detrimental to the environment.

Correct calibration of a sprayer is essential to apply the chemical at the label rate and to get maximum efficiency of coverage of the target.

The DAFWA website has additional information on calibrating spray equipment and herbicide application methods.

Useful links

Phenoxy (hormone-like) herbicides have the potential to cause off-target spray damage to vineyards. See the link for details concerning the regulations, duty of care and formulations of phenoxy herbicide applications in WA.

Users of herbicides need to be aware of the legal aspects of herbicide application, follow the link for further information.

Found an unusual pest or disease in your vineyard that you can’t identify? The DAFWA Pest and Disease Identification Service (PaDis) provides advisory and identification services on animal and plant pests, weeds and diseases that impact Western Australia’s agriculture and food industries.

Pesticide resistanceWhat is pesticide resistance?

Most pest and disease populations have a very small number of individuals that are resistant to a given pesticide. Frequent use of the same pesticide kills susceptible individuals but leaves the resistant ones and therefore selects a strain of the pest or disease that contains an increasing number of resistant individuals. Once this resistant proportion reaches a critical level, the lack of control ultimately renders that pesticide useless. This is known as resistance.

What pesticides are prone to resistance?

All pesticides (herbicides, insecticides, miticides and fungicides) are prone to resistance but miticides and some of the fungicides are most at risk. This is because mites and fungi are usually resident in orchards and have a short life cycle. These attributes favour the rapid selection of resistant individuals if pesticide use is heavy.

Many of the new generation fungicides were developed for a specific disease and have a very specific mode of action. This means that they often have only single-site activity. Many of the older fungicides have multi-site activity and as a consequence the newer fungicides are more prone to the diseases developing resistance to them.

16

If the same fungicide is used repeatedly it will allow the resistant spores to multiply until almost all spores are resistant and unaffected by the fungicide. Often when a disease becomes resistant to a particular fungicide it is resistant to other fungicides in the same activity group. The DAFWA webpage on herbicide resistance offers further detail.

How to avoid or delay resistance?

All new pesticide products have resistance management strategies included on the label. It is important that pesticides are applied using the correct dilutions and application rate and that the resistance management guidelines given on the label are followed.

Some of the key factors to avoid or delay resistance are based on the principles of Integrated Pest Management and include:

● Predators — There may be opportunity to introduce predators for pest control or suppression. This may reduce the pest to a level where a pesticide is not required or reduce the number of sprays required. Also be aware of any other pesticides that are harmful to predators, either natural or introduced. If available, select pesticides that are least harmful to natural enemies.

● Cultural control methods — using such techniques as vineyard hygiene can reduce the pest population and subsequently reduce exposure to pesticide.

● Pest monitoring — this will determine when a pest or disease is present and help decide whether a spray is required, and if required, the optimum time to apply it.

● Pesticide use — many pesticides are listed to be used only a specific number of times in a season. Some miticides should only be used once per season. If multiple sprays are required then alternate between different activity groups.

CropLife Australia represents the developers, registrants, manufacturers and formulators of plant science solutions for use in agriculture and the management of pests in other settings. This group has developed Pesticide Resistance Management Strategies and Activity Group Identification to assist in reducing the development of resistance to pesticides for a range of agricultural pests.

The following CropLife Australia information identifies the resistance management strategies for fungicides that are at risk and are used in viticulture. These strategies were developed by the CropLife Australia Fungicide Resistance Management Review Group and industry researchers.

Downy Mildew

Fungicide activity groups Resistance management strategy

Group 4 (phenylamide)

Group 11 (quinone outside inhibitor)

Group 40 (carboxylic acid amide)

1. Start disease control sprays using a protectant or non-phenylamide fungicide and continue spraying at intervals of 7−21 days depending on disease pressure and rate of grapevine growth, typically when the shoots are 10cm (E-L 12 stage) or longer.

2. When conditions favour disease development, apply two consecutive sprays of a Group 4 product. Do not apply more than two consecutive sprays of a Group 4 product. Do not apply more than four sprays of a Group 4 product per season.

3. Do not apply more than three consecutive sprays of a Group 40 fungicide, and no more than a total of six sprays per season.

4. Do not apply more than two sprays per season of Group 11 fungicides. If two consecutive applications of Group 11 fungicides are used, then they must be followed by at least the same number of applications of fungicide(s) from a different group(s), before a Group 11 fungicide is used again, either in the current or following season.

5. Apply Group 11 fungicides preventatively.6. Apply a maximum of two consecutive applications in alternation

with fungicides from a different Mode Of Action group with satisfactory efficacy against the target pathogen/s.

Group 7 (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors)

Group 11 (quinone outside inhibitor)

Group 13 (aza-napthalenenes)

Group U6 (phenyl-acetamide)

Group U8 (actin inhibitor)

1. Do not apply more than two consecutive sprays of a Group 3 or Group U6 fungicide.Do not apply more than three Group 3 sprays per season.Do not use Group 3 fungicides curatively.

2. Do not apply more than two consecutive sprays of a Group 5 fungicide.Do not apply more than three Group 5 sprays per season.

3. Do not apply consecutive sprays of Group 7 fungicides, including from the end of one season to the start of the following season.Do not apply more than three Group 7 sprays per season.

4. Apply Group 11 and other systemic fungicides preventatively.5. Do not apply more than two sprays per season of Group 11 or

Group U6 fungicides.6. Where Group 11 products have been routinely used for many

seasons, field research indicates there is an increased risk of powdery mildew resistance to Group 11 fungicides occurring. To ensure continued protection against powdery mildew in these circumstances, either abstain from using Group 11s or mix Group 11 fungicides with a registered rate of a compound from an alternative chemical group for the control of powdery mildew in grapes.

7. Alternatively, if applied alone, Group 11 fungicides should be used in strict alternation with fungicides from an alternative chemical group for the control of powdery mildew in grapes.

8. Do not apply more than two consecutive sprays of a Group 13 fungicide.Do not apply more than three Group 13 sprays per season.

Group 9 (anilinopyrimidine) and combinations of Group 9 and Group 12 (phenylpyrroles)

Group 11 (quinone outside inhibitor) and combinations of Group 11 and Group 3 (DMI)

Group 17 (hydroxyanilide)

1. If three or fewer bunch rot sprays are applied in a season, use no more than one spray from the same fungicide group during the season, for any Group 2, 9 (including combinations with Group 12), 11 (including combinations with Group 3), 17 or 7 fungicides.

2. If four or more bunch rot sprays are applied in a season, use no more than two sprays from the same fungicide group during the season, for any Group 2, 9 (including combinations with Group 12), 11 (including combinations with Group 3), 17 or 7 fungicides.

3. Do not apply more than two consecutive sprays from the same fungicide group, for any Group 2, 9 (including combinations with Group 12) or Group 17 fungicide, including from the end of one season to the start of the following season.

4. Do not apply consecutive sprays of Group 7 fungicides, including from the end of one season to the start of the following season.

5. Do not apply more than two sprays per season of Group 11 (including combinations with Group 3) fungicides. If two consecutive applications of Group 11 (including combinations with Group 3) fungicides are used, then they must be followed by at least the same number of applications of fungicide(s) from a different group(s) before a Group 11 (including combinations with Group 3) fungicide is used again, either in the current or following season.

6. If a Group 11 fungicide is used solo, it should only be used in strict alternation with fungicides from a different cross-resistance group.

7. If resistance to a fungicide group has been detected, only use that fungicide group in mixtures or in strict alternation with fungicides from a different cross resistance group. A fungicide group that has been applied as the final application of the season should not be the first fungicide in the following season.

8. Do not apply fungicides curatively.9. Late season fungicide treatments should be applied before

Botrytis infection reaches unacceptably high levels in the vineyard.

Agrochemicals registered for use in Australian viticulture The AWRI produces an annual publication titled Agrochemicals registered for use in Australian viticulture, commonly known as the ‘Dog book’. This provides information on agrochemicals for use in the production of grapes for export wine, and any restriction on their use.

The booklet is distributed free to all wineries that pay the wine research levy but can also be freely accessed from the AWRI agrochemicals webpage.

HortGuardTM

HortGuardTM is an initiative of the Western Australian Government to protect the $719 million horticultural industry from major pests and diseases.

It is a coordinated, cooperative and strategic approach between industry and government to protect WA's horticulture and viticulture industries by minimising threats to production and markets from regional quarantine pests or diseases to the State. Regional threats are pests or diseases of potential economic importance to WA that are present in other Australian states but absent in WA. Exotic pests or diseases to Australia that are threats to viticulture are managed under the National Viticulture Industry Biosecurity Plan and the Emergency Plant Pest Response Deed, which are administered by Plant Health Australia.

HortGuardTM focuses on the key areas of surveillance, early reporting and preparedness. Effective control of any pest or disease requires early detection, correct identification and decisive management planning. Training staff to report unusual pests and diseases, and seek professional advice on control techniques are the first steps in pest and disease management.

HortGuardTM focuses on seven key strategies:

threat identification and risk assessment

barrier quarantine

surveillance

incident response

containment, eradication and management

research and development

communications and training.

The Horticulture Industry Biosecurity Committee operating under HortGuardTM provides a forum for WA horticulture industries and DAFWA to consult on matters that relate to biosecurity, chemical residues and market access issues.

AGWEST Plant Laboratories provide commercial agricultural testing services to assist in the identification of pests, diseases and weeds.

The MyPestGuide - grapes ‘app’ is an e-surveillance tool being developed for pest and disease identification and reporting. It will be available for both AppleTM and GoogleTM based mobile phones and tablets from January 2016. Images of the pest or disease can be submitted electronically for identification by experts through DAFWA.

N/R It is sufficient to spray the fruit only as forchlorfenuron is not translocated from leaves to fruit.Good berry thinning is essential when using Sitofex®. Gibberellic acid (GA3) thinning sprays should be applied as recommended for each variety. Maximum berry size is obtained when forchlorfenuron is mixed with a GA3 sizing spray.Forchlorfenuron can produce poor colour development and off flavours with some varieties in some seasons.

N/R Do not apply after natural budburst has commenced. Do not use winter oil before or after application of Dormex®.Apply to dormant spurs, canes or cordons, using sufficient spray volume to ensure thorough coverage of all buds. Budburst will usually occur 30-35 days later, although if warm conditions occur after application, it could occur 14-21 days later.Note: New shoots may be damaged by frost if Dormex® is applied earlier than 35 days before natural budburst.Applying Dormex close to budburst may have phytotoxic effects and delay budburst.

cyanamide Cyan™ 3-5L/100L water N/R Do not apply after natural budburst has commenced. Do not use winter oil before or after application.Apply to dormant spurs, canes or cordons, using sufficient spray volume to ensure thorough coverage of all buds. Budburst is usually 30−35 days later, although if warm conditions occur after application it could occur 14-21 days later.Note: New shoots may be damaged by frost. If applied earlier than 35 days before natural budburst, low temperatures at flowering may reduce fruit set. Lower dose rates should be used when there has been a cold winter to naturally chill the crop.
