General Instructions: For effective disease control, a good leaf cover must be achieved before a widespread disease outbreak occurs.
Conditions Conducive to Downy Mildew Infection:
-
Primary Infection - Overnight condition of:
- Temperature: 10°C
- Rainfall: 10 mm
- Soil Wetness: 24 hrs
- Leaf Wetness: 3-4 hrs at the end of a 24 hr period
-
Secondary Infection - Overnight condition of:
- Temperature: 11°C
- Humidity: 98% for at least 4 hours from midnight to dawn

To Avoid Resistance Strains of Downy Mildew Developing, Nufarm Phostrol should be applied as close as possible to the day of infection and alternated with other systemic fungicides.
Mixing: Half fill the spray vat, and with the agitation system running, add the required amount of product.
Resistance Warning: Nufarm Phostrol 500 is a Group 33 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to the product and other Group 33 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. The resistant fungi will not be controlled by this product or other Group 33 fungicides, resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect, Nufarm Australia Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of this product to control resistant fungi.
