Pesticide safety
Pesticide misuse can be harmful to both human and environmental health and can also impact
trading relations with international markets. Regulatory standards are necessary to ensure that
pesticides are used appropriately within our communities.

Organochlorine and other chemical residues
Orchards 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, nonreturnable 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.
10
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
11
and number of treatments, use of adjuvants, the interval since the last application and climatic
conditions.
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 sheets
Chemical 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 bees
Bees 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.
14
Pesticide application
The 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.

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 resistance
What 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.
15
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.
The strategies are a guide only and do not endorse particular products, groups of products or
cultural methods in terms of their performance. Always follow the product label for specific use
instructions. While all effort has been taken with the information supplied in this document no
responsibility, actual or implied, is taken for the day to day accuracy of product or active
constituent specific information. Readers should check with the Australian regulator’s (APVMA)
product data base for contemporary information on products and actives. The data base can be
sourced through www.apvma.gov.au. The information given in the strategies is provided in good
faith and without any liability for loss or damage suffered as a result of its application and use.
Advice given in these strategies is valid as at 25 June 2015. All previous versions of this strategy
are invalid.

Downy Mildew
Fungicide activity groups
Resistance management strategy
Group 4 (phenylamide)
1. Start disease control sprays using a protectant or nonphenylamide 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 11 (quinone outside
inhibitor)
Group 40 (carboxylic acid
amide)
17
Powdery Mildew
Fungicide activity group(s)
Resistance management strategy
Group 3 (DMI)
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.
Group 5 (amine)
Group 7 (succinate
dehydrogenase inhibitors)
Group 11 (quinone outside
inhibitor)
Group 13 (azanapthalenenes)
Group U6 (phenylacetamide)
Group U8 (actin inhibitor)
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.
18
Grey mould (bunch rot)
Fungicide activity group(s)
Resistance management strategy
Group 2 (dicarboximide)
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 HortGuard TM 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.
21
Industry is encouraged to report any suspect issues via the MyPestGuide – grapes app (when
available) or to the points of contact below:

Apply when 5−30% of berries are coloured. Use higher
rates to maximise colouring effects required. Ensure
thorough coverage of bunches, although the foliage need
not be completely covered.
Best results are achieved with a uniform application of fine
droplets under calm conditions.
Ethephon:
− may reduce firmness of grapes. Do not use on grapes
intended for long-term cool storage.
− may be less effective on some varieties in seasons
where extreme heat waves occur.

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.

Grape pest monitoring and treatment calendar
Not all these pests will occur in your vineyard.
This is a guide only. The status of each pest varies across grape growing regions; monitor to avoid unnecessary or poorly timed
sprays. Check specific recommendations under the Vineyard spray option tables (Section 11), particularly for chemicals used in
disease control on wine grapes to avoid unwanted residues.
