GENERAL INFORMATION
PROBLAD is a broad spectrum, preventive and contact biofungicide with penetration properties. It is formulated as a suspension concentrate and contains the active ingredient BLAD polypeptide, which degrades chitin in fungal cell walls. PROBLAD controls or suppresses listed plant diseases. It may be applied as a foliar spray in alternating spray programs with other registered pesticides. PROBLAD may be applied with spray equipment commonly used for making ground applications.
As this product is not registered for the control of pests in aquatic systems, DO NOT use to control aquatic pests.
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
Do NOT allow effluent or runoff from greenhouses or mushroom houses containing this product to enter lakes, streams, ponds, or other waters.
Preparation of the Spray Solution: Ensure the spray tank is clean and free of residues from previous spray treatments. Fill the spray tank ¾ full with clean water. Shake the container and pour the required amount of PROBLAD into the sprayer tank while the tank agitation system is operating. Add specified amount of PROBLAD while filling with the appropriate amount of water into the spray tank. Maintain agitation. Do not store the mixture overnight.

Spray Volume: Apply PROBLAD as noted in the application instruction table for each crop or crop grouping. Increase spray volume as crop growth increases to ensure thorough coverage of the foliage and fruit. Check equipment calibration frequently. Complete coverage and uniform application are essential for the most effective results, especially when lower spray volumes are applied.

ORCHARD AND VINEYARD CROPS: Airblast sprayer
To achieve optimum pest control, it is important to obtain thorough and uniform spray coverage of the plant. Choose a finished spray volume appropriate for the size of tree or vine and amount of foliage that will provide thorough coverage throughout the canopy. For certain pests, also follow recommendations listed under specific crop directions. Within the rate range, use the higher rate for heavy infestations or dense foliage. The specific length of residual control depends on environmental factors, plant growth, dosage rate, and degree of disease infestation.
PROBLAD may be mixed with foliar fertilizers, provided that the fertilizer is added after PROBLAD has been diluted to the recommended field application.
In some cases, tank mixing a pest control product with another pest control product or a fertilizer can result in biological effects that could include, but are not limited to: reduced pest efficacy or increased host crop injury. The user should contact CEV, S.A. at 416 233-7425 for information before mixing any pesticide or fertilizer that is not specifically recommended on this label.
Pre-Harvest Interval: PROBLAD can be applied up to and during the day of harvest.
