Accolade Wines gratefully acknowledge the assistance provided by Marcel Essling of The Australian Wine Research Institute in the preparation of this spray diary. Much of the information in the diary was taken from the booklet, Agrochemicals registered for use in Australian viticulture 17/18: a must for grape

growers and winemakers exporting wine, published by The Australian Wine Research Institute and compiled by Marcel Essling and Anne Lord.

6 September, 2017 Dear Grower, Last season we reached a remarkable milestone with the VitiCentral website. Over 95 % of growers submitted their spray records online through VitiCentral, and many also provided their crop estimates the same way. I’d like to thank all those that have made the jump to VitiCentral, and supported its improvement by providing constructive comments. We have taken these comments on board, and you will see improvements role out in the coming months. Keep a look out for the updated ‘Bookings’ section that will store a history of your bookings, and the revamped ‘Estimates’ section that will keep track of how many tonnes have been delivered to date from each patch. Increasingly, Accolade’s customers are demanding detailed information regarding the chemicals used in the production of our wines, and the best way to collate that data is via the VitiCentral website. I realise that some growers may not have access to the internet, or have trouble with computers. If you are one of these growers, don’t be concerned—just call your local Viticulturist (listed on pages 4 and 5) and they will work out a solution for you. Each new season brings with it a change to the restrictions placed on the use of chemicals, and the maximum residue limits that Accolade Wines will permit in grapes. It is therefore essential that you read this 2017/2018 Season Spray Policy, and if you have any questions, call your local Viticulturist. Finally, if you have any issue that you feel cannot be addressed by your Regional Viticulture Manager or Viticulturist, I invite you to contact me on 0419 810 173 or via email: [email protected]. All the best for a rewarding season.

Alex Sas Chief Viticulturist

Chemical restrictions this season

Accolade Wines exports wine to more than 60 countries. In order to meet the maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by these

markets it is necessary to restrict the application of certain chemicals or to avoid their use altogether. These restrictions are

listed on pages 12-20 and must be strictly observed. Please check the ‘Winery Restrictions on Use’ column as these override

any label restrictions. In addition, note that chemicals must not be applied within 30 days of harvest without first obtaining

the written approval of an Accolade Wines Viticulturist.

If you wish to use a product registered for use on grapevines but it is not listed in this Spray Policy, you must contact your

Accolade Wines Viticulturist and obtain their written approval prior to spraying.

Insecticide use

Indiscriminate insecticide use will upset the ecology of the vineyard, often necessitating additional spraying for other pests

previously controlled by predators. Insecticides should never be used as regular preventative sprays, but only to solve a

significant problem. If you believe that an insecticide is essential to control an outbreak of pests, please contact your Accolade

Wines Viticulturist to discuss the best course of action.

Residue testing program

Accolade Wines may test your grapes for agrochemical residues to assess compliance with Accolade Wines’ food safety

obligations and the terms of your Grape Sale and Purchase Agreement with Accolade Wines. You will be notified of the results

if your grapes are tested. The process for selecting samples for testing is explained on page 27. The cost of a single residue

test on a sample of grapes is $126 (ex GST).

Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs)

The Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) on pages 10 and 11 specify the maximum amount of an agrochemical that Accolade

Wines permits in grapes. Accolade Wines may take samples of your grapes at the weighbridge or from your vineyard to

determine the concentration of an agrochemical. If the assessed concentration is greater than the allowed MRL listed in this

Spray Policy, the relevant grapes may be rejected by Accolade Wines as set out in your Grape Sale and Purchase Agreement.

Record your chemical use in VitiCentral

Use VitiCentral (viticentral.accolade-wines.com) to record all chemicals applied to your vineyard. This includes: herbicides,

fungicides, insecticides, dyes, nematicides, nutrient sprays, setting sprays, wetting agents, baits and soil applied insecticides

and fertilisers. If you need help with VitiCentral, contact your local Viticulturist (their name can be found on page 3 or 4) or email

[email protected]

No diary, no delivery

Follow the instructions on VitiCentral to submit your records to the winery. Grapes will not be booked or accepted for delivery to

the winery unless your spray diary records establish compliance with this Spray Policy.

7

What growth stage?

The various stages of grapevine growth are illustrated on page 8. These have been included so that you can record in

VitiCentral the growth stage at which the vineyard was sprayed. Select the growth stage that best describes the most

advanced stage of growth in the vineyard.

Calibration records

It is a requirement that you must show you have calibrated each sprayer at least once per year. The calibration should be done

prior to the start of the season, and the sprayer settings and calculations should be recorded in VitiCentral

(viticentral.accolade-wines.com). If you need help with the calibration process, or with entering the data into VitiCentral, contact

your local Viticulturist (their name can be found on page 4 or 5).

Sprayed after your ‘final’ spray?

In some cases it may be necessary to apply sprays after you have declared your final spray for the season in VitiCentral. In this

case you will need to:

1. discuss with your Accolade Wines Viticulturist the need to spray, and obtain their approval

2. record the additional sprays applied in VitiCentral

3. submit the spray record and declare it [click the ‘DECLARE’ button] within VitiCentral, prior to the delivery of the

grapes.

Sprays applied after harvest and up until budburst the following season must also be recorded in VitiCentral.

Made a mistake?

Your spray diary in VitiCentral must be an accurate record of all the sprays you have applied to your vineyard during the

season. It is important that you record the actual product you used and the actual chosen rate of the product you have applied.

If you later discover that you have applied the wrong chemical, or the wrong rate, you must still record this spray in the diary.

If you discover you have made a mistake by using an unregistered product or by applying an incorrect rate of product, contact

your Accolade Wines Viticulturist immediately. You will be asked to complete a Corrective Action Request form that will be

supplied by Accolade Wines. Your grapes may need to be tested for residues.

SAFEGRAPES

The SAFEGRAPES Property Inspection Checklist has been included as page 28. Please use this Checklist prior to any

property inspection by your Accolade Wines Viticulturist to ensure compliance and reduce the potential for residue testing.

Re-entry Periods

The re-entry period is the minimum amount of time that must pass between when a pesticide is applied to an area and when that area can be entered without protective clothing and equipment. The re-entry period should not be confused with the label and winery restrictions on use.

Re-entry periods are set to protect people from exposure to agrochemicals that can occur by inhalation or skin contact if they enter an area without proper protective equipment.

The agrochemical label provides information on the re-entry period and any protective clothing or equipment that must be used if the re-entry period is not met. Different products from the same activity group may have different re-entry requirements. The advice provided in these tables is the most stringent re-entry period for the active constituent.

Where the re-entry period specifies a range of days, the shorter period relates to low exposure activities and the longer period to higher exposure activities. Check the label for details.

The AWRI is gratefully acknowledged for this re-entry period reference. This advice is intended as a guide. Consult each product label for re-entry period directions.

Maximum Residue Limits – Vintage 2018

The table below sets out the maximum amount of agrochemicals that Accolade Wines permits in grapes. This amount is called

the Maximum Residue Limit (MRL). Accolade Wines may take samples of your grapes at the weighbridge and/or from your

vineyard to determine the concentration of an agrochemical. If the assessed concentration of an active constituent exceeds the

relevant MRL for that constituent (as listed below), the relevant grapes may be rejected in accordance with your Grape Sale and

Purchase Agreement. .

In addition, the following specifications also apply:

• residues of herbicides, or of any agrochemical that is not registered for use in viticulture or is not listed below, must not be

detected in grapes, or in wine made from the grapes.

• any residue of copper in grapes arising from the use of copper-based fungicide must not be greater than 0.5 mg/kg.

In the MRL table, the abbreviation ‘ND’ means that no detectable amount of that chemical is permitted in the sample. ‘NA’

indicates this active is exempt from residues, or typically does not require a MRL, or residues will not be found in normal grape

and wine production. MRLs values in bold have changed from last season.

Fungicide Resistance Management Strategies

What is ‘fungicide resistance’?

Fungicide resistance is the inherited ability of an organism to survive doses of a fungicide that would normally control it. Resistance may develop after frequent use of one fungicide, or fungicides from the same activity group.

Resistance status

Resistance to fungicides is a serious problem worldwide and resistance to many of the commonly used fungicides now exists.

What produces fungicide resistant diseases?

Any population contains a very small number of individuals which are naturally able to survive the application of a particular fungicide. If the same fungicide, or fungicides, from the same activity group are used repeatedly, and exclusively, the susceptible individuals continue to be removed, and those with natural resistance survive and multiply. In time, the resistant individuals dominate the population and the fungicide ‘fails’ in the field.

Resistance countering measures

With any resistance management program it is important to:

prevent the build-up of resistant individuals in the population; and

minimise fungicide selection pressure by not over using fungicides to obtain best results, while at the same time delaying or minimising the potential development of resistance.

The CropLife Australia Fungicide Resistance Management Review Group has taken two initiatives in fungicide resistance management: 1. All fungicides have been classified by activity group, which appears as a number or letter/number combinations code on

the fungicide product label; and 2. Resistance Management Strategies have been developed for the use of fungicides in crops where resistance by a

particular organism is already evident or considered a risk.

The Fungicide Resistance Management Strategies provide recommendations for a fungicide program which ensures best control with least risk of developing resistance.

Resistance Management Strategies are regularly updated and can be accessed via CropLife Australia’s Website at: http://www.croplife.org.au Similar resistance management strategies exist for herbicides and insecticides and can also be viewed at this address.

Powdery mildew

Resistance Management Strategy for:

Group 3 Demethylation inhibitors (DMI); Group 5 Amines (morpholines); Group 7 Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors (SDHI); Group 11 Quinone outside inhibitors (QoI) and combinations of Group 3; Group 13 Aza-napthalenes; Group U6 Phenyl-acetamide; and Group U8 Actin disruptors (aryl-phenyl-ketone) fungicides.

1. Apply all these fungicides preventatively.

2. Consecutive applications include from the end of one season to the start of the next.

3. Mixtures - co-formulations or tank mixes with label rate of alternative mode of action

Group

4. Group 11 – where these fungicides have been routinely used for many seasons, field research indicates there is an increased risk of powdery mildew resistance. To ensure effective powdery mildew control in these circumstances, either use alternative modes of action or apply in mixtures. Group 11 – If applied alone, do not make consecutive applications. Group 11 – apply a maximum of 2 sprays per season, including mixtures.

Downy mildew


Group 4 Phenylamide; Group 11 Quinone outside inhibitor; Group 21 Quinone inside inhibitor; Group 40 Carboxylic acid amide; and Group 45 Quinone outside inhibitor, stigmatellin binding type fungicides.

1. Apply all these fungicides preventatively, Group 4 fungicides should be applied before the first sign of oilspots or as soon as possible after an infection period.

2. Mixtures - co-formulations or tank mixes with label rate of alternative mode of action.

3. Apply a maximum of two consecutive applications of any one group.

4. Start preventative disease control sprays using non-Group 4 protectant fungicides, typically when shoots are 10-20cm long. Continue spraying at intervals of 7-21 days depending on disease pressure, label directions and rate of vine growth.

5. Limit the use of Group 4 fungicides to periods when conditions favour disease development. Always apply Group 4 fungicides in mixtures.

Fungicide Resistance Management Strategies continued

Grey mould (Botrytis bunch rot)


Group 2 Dicarboximide; Group 7 SDHI (Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors); Group 9 Anilinopyrimidine and combinations of Group 9 (Anilinopyrimidine) and Group 12 (Phenylpyrroles); Group 11 Quinone outside Inhibitor and combinations of Group 11 and Group 3 (DMIs); and Group 17 Hydroxyanilide fungicides.

1. Apply all these fungicides as protectants before the first sign of disease.

2. Consecutive applications include from the end of one season to the start of the next.

3. Varying the number of fungicides applied targeting Botrytis changes the relative resistance risk to any one fungicide group. When three or fewer sprays are applied, it is recommended that three different groups of fungicides are used (see table below). When four sprays are applied, try to use 3 or 4 different groups of fungicide.

Maximum recommended number of sprays which can contain group

4. If a Group 11 or 7 fungicide is used solo, it should only be used in strict alternation with fungicides from a different mode of action group.

5. DO NOT apply more than two consecutive sprays from the same fungicide group, for any Group 2, 7, 9 (including combinations with Group 12) 11+3 or 17 fungicide, including from the end of one season to the start of the following season.

6. If two consecutive applications of Group 11+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.

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.

Off-target spray drift

Whenever using chemicals—especially herbicides—on other crops, ensure that there is no drift onto grapevines. If you have a

potential off-target drift problem, please contact your Accolade Wines Viticulturist to determine if alternative chemicals can be

used.

If you believe your vineyard has been damaged from spray drift originating outside your property, contact the relevant agency

listed below:

New South Wales

The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is responsible for

regulating the use of pesticides in NSW, including

investigating any allegations relating to the misuse of

pesticides such as spray drift.

The EPA operates a 24-hr toll-free number for reporting all

incidents: tel 131 555. If the matter requires follow up, then it

will be referred to the appropriate local EPA office for follow

up.

Good Agricultural Practice Guide

The following requirements should also be observed in line with good agricultural practice:

1. The vineyard owner/manager must ensure all label and winery restrictions on use have been followed BEFORE harvest

commences. Failure to comply with these restrictions can result in unacceptable chemical residues remaining in the grapes

and in the wine.

2. Application of raw animal manures must not occur within 120 days before harvest. Manure dust may contaminate the fruit.

3. Biosolids (treated sewage sludge) must not be used. Heavy metals within the biosolid could contaminate the grapes.

4. Do not load harvested grapes in areas where animal manure has been stored or spread. Pathogens and heavy metals

within the manure could contaminate harvested grapes.

5. Any wine grapes dropped on the ground whilst loading must remain on the ground. Soil contamination can be introduced to

the harvested grapes if these grapes are delivered.

6. The use of any chemical (selected botryticides excepted) and fertiliser within 30 days of harvest are not recommended as

their use is unlikely to be beneficial to the current crop. Winery permission is required for all applications to the vineyard

within 30 days of harvest.

7. No rocks or other items to be placed on posts within the vineyard. The rocks could damage harvesting and winery

equipment.

8. Genetically modified organisms are not to be used in vineyards.

Chemical Storage

This is a guide to ‘best practice’ chemical storage. The actual standard for chemical storage can be obtained from your local department of agriculture/primary industries, or from your Accolade Wines Viticulturist.

Site Selection

The store must be located at least 15m from the property boundary, 10m from buildings occupied by people or livestock, 5m from watercourses, dams, drainage or sewage lines, 3m from stored flammable materials and well above maximum flood level.

The site should preferably be in an open area with low risk to wild-fires, located to have good air circulation, avoid temperature extremes, and near to the tank mixing and filling area.

The site must have access to a clean and reliable water supply for tank filling and emergency use.

Structure/Construction

The building must be structurally sound to wind and weather and have a good roof with no leaks. A fire resistant structure and internal cladding is preferred, with wall and roof insulation to moderate storage temperature. The building should have clear access and outward opening doors.

The floor must be impermeable and preferably graded to aid collection of spills and wash down and must be graded or bunded to contain 25% of the total liquid in the store. Some QA schemes may require this to be 110% of the possible store contents. Check that doorways and service entry/exits do not compromise containment. The surface should be non-slip for worker safety.

Ventilation must be adequate to prevent build-up of chemical vapours; both lower vents just above the bund and upper vents in the walls or roof are highly recommended.

Lighting must be adequate to read labels and to measure out chemicals. Natural light is preferred.

Shelving must be sturdy and made of non-absorbent materials. Install any shelves on the coolest side of store and away from

direct sunlight, and heat sources.

Water supply should be clean, reliable and capable of 15 minutes continuous flow to wash chemical off any part of the body.

26

Chemical Storage continued

The store must be lockable and kept locked to prevent unauthorised entry. Windows and vents must be designed to prevent

entry by children or others and only authorised staff should have access to store keys.

Warning signs are recommended to indicate that the facility is a chemical storage area. If Class 6 and/or Class 8 Dangerous

Goods are stored, the Dangerous Substances legislation requires that the appropriate class label sign(s), and a sign prohibiting

fire, naked flame and smoking, must be displayed.

Equipment Located in Store

Equipment to accurately measure the weight or volume of chemical must be appropriate for the job, and the markings must be

clear and readable. This equipment may include scales and measurement jugs. Test weights are required to check scales for

accuracy.

There should be some readily available material and equipment to contain, absorb and decontaminate spilt chemicals. The

most basic requirements are a container of absorptive material, e.g. dry soil or “kitty litter”, a shovel and an empty clean

container that can receive chemicals from leaking containers.

Pesticide Stock Management

All products must be in original package with labels intact. Only “registered” products should be kept in store. Containers need

to be kept closed to prevent accidental spillage. It is recommended to locate herbicides, insecticides and fungicides separately

on shelving with powder or granular products above liquid. This recommendation is compulsory in some on-farm QA schemes.

Segregation of some incompatible chemicals may be required; check warnings on labelling. Empty containers/packaging

awaiting safe disposal must be secure, so allocate a separate storage zone in the store. For drumMUSTER requirements and

availability, check with local councils, or visit the drumMUSTER website.

Equipment Located Outside but Near the Store

Personal protective equipment (PPE – e.g. overalls, waterproof pants and coat, gumboots, rubber gloves, respirator, goggles,

face shield, PVC apron, hat) should not be located in the store, but should be kept nearby. Clean PPE should be stored

separately to equipment that is dirty or awaiting cleaning or disposal. PPE should be appropriate to the chemical being used;

refer to the label and MSDS.

Fire-fighting equipment should be a dry powder extinguisher mounted near and outside the store.

Residue Testing Selection Process Flow

At the Property Inspection, did any critical

requirement receive an ‘unacceptable’ rating?

Is the contract a spot buy (annual purchase)?

Note: The grower will be liable for payment of the

weighbridge residue test only if Accolade’s

maximum residue limits (MRLs) are exceeded.

Had the grower delivered grapes last season that

exceed Accolade Wines MRLs?

No residue testing required.

Is this the 2017 vintage?

Adapted from Radunz L. (2001) New label directions for spraying - a review of experiences over the past year. Australian Grapegrower and Winemaker 451, 45-46 (with permission from the Australian Grapegrower and Winemaker).

Step 1. Theoretical (dilute) spraying volume

Canopy size changes throughout the growing season. A range

of theoretical (dilute) spray volumes is given for each canopy

size. Choose the appropriate theoretical (dilute) volume from

the above chart. It must be within the recommended range.

For example, if the canopy is a 1m x 1m ‘sprawl’ the

theoretical (dilute) spray volume could be:

650-1300 L/ha or 20-40L/100m

The theoretical (dilute) volume you select will depend on the

density of the canopy. For dense canopies choose a volume

at the top end of the range.

Step 2. Amount of water sprayed per hectare

This is the volume of spray your canopy spray unit has been

calibrated to apply in L/ha (or perhaps L/100m). This figure will

vary when you change your spray plant setup, i.e. tractor

speed, nozzle size, number of nozzles used.

Step 3. Concentration factor

Concentration factor (CF) = theoretical (dilute) spray volume ÷ amount of water sprayed per hectare

Example 1

Taking into account the canopy size and density at this time of

the year, you decide that the theoretical (dilute) spray volume

is 1700L/ha. After calibrating the spray unit you find that the

amount of water sprayed per hectare is 600L.

Concentration factor (CF) = theoretical (dilute) spray volume÷

amount of water sprayed per hectare

= 1700 ÷ 600

= 2.8

Example 2

Taking into account the canopy size and density, you decide

that the theoretical (dilute) spray volume is 500L/ha. After

calibrating the spray unit you find that the amount of water

sprayed per hectare is 500L.Concentration factor (CF) =

theoretical (dilute) spray volume÷ amount of water sprayed

per hectare

= 500 ÷ 500

= 1.0
