Potato Blight Control is a new garden product to protect against the fungus Phytophthora infestans, which causes foliar and tuber blight in potatoes.
This innovative product prevents outbreaks of disease by its safe and reliable effect on the fungal spores which cause the infection, protecting the leaves and stalks and also the potatoes tubers from the risk of late blight infection after harvest. The unique strength of Potato Blight Control lies in the combination of two potent active substances which work both on the surface and deep inside the plant (systemic effect) giving long-lasting protection of leaves, stalks and new growth.
- Protective fungicide; use before disease attacks
- Protects new growth
- Contact and systemic action
- Rainfast after 1 hour
- Effective; against all developmental stages of Phytophthora infestans
- Targeted; eliminates fungal spores, the cause of infection
- Intelligent; distributed through the plant and the leaves, thus protecting leaves, stalks and new growth from the inside
- Long-Lasting; sustained action against the fungal infection
- Reliable; effective even in adverse weather conditions (‘Phytophthora weather’) irrespective of temperature
- Treats up to 625m2
Instructions for use
When and Where to use
For the treatment of late foliar and tuber blight in potatoes
For use outside in gardens and allotments
Apply Potatoe Blight Control only to dry foliage. Do not apply if rainfall or irrigation is imminent. It is rainfast after 1 hour, providing the spray has dried on the leaf.
Dosage: Spray 4ml in 1 Litre of water over 25sqm.
Maximum of 4 applications for the crop or per year at intervals of 7-10 days, depending on the disease pressure. Waiting time before harvest: 7 days.
Timing of application: Applications should be made preventatively at the start of infestation or when initial symptoms become apparent.
Crop Stage: Between the formation of the first side shoot (>5cm) to brown discolouration of up to 50% of the leaves.
Restrictions: Do not allow spray to drift onto surface water or ponds. Do not use this product or any other product containing the active substance fluopicolide on the same land during the subsequent two calendar years.
In order to prevent the development of resistance, alternate use of this product with others containing different active substances from other groups,
Its recommended that potato crops are grown in a 3-year rotation to avoid the build-up of diseases.
Potato Blight Control should be applied as a protectant treatment. Do not apply as a curative treatment once blight has become readily visible (1% of leaf area destroyed) fungicides have little effect on subsequent development.
