Disease Control
Bellis is a protectant and systemic fungicide for the control of apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha) in apples and scab control in pears (Venturia pirina). When used as the final 2 sprays in a fungicidal spray programme, Bellis will provide reduction of storage rots caused by Gloeosporium, Alternaria, Botrytis and Penicillium species in apples and pears.
Resistance
In order to minimise risk of resistance development, Bellis should be used in a programme with products of different cross-resistant group. Bellis contains pyraclostrobin (a QoI inhibitor) and boscalid (SDHI carboxamide). A maximum of four applications of Bellis (or other QoI products) per year can be applied where the total number of applications is twelve or more. Where the total number of fungicidal treatments to crops is less than twelve, the maximum number of treatments with Bellis or other QoI products should be three. Do not use more than two consecutive applications of Bellis. Blocks of two applications of Bellis must be separated by a minimum of two applications of a fungicide from a different cross-resistant group.

Crops
For use in apples and pears Time of Application For optimum results apply Bellis as a protectant spray from bud burst and repeat at 10-14 day intervals. Use a maximum of three applications per year, except where the spray programme includes twelve or more fungicide applications - when a maximum of four applications per year of Bellis may be used. A minimum of 7 days must elapse between the last spray and harvest.
Rate of Application
Apply Bellis at 0.8 kg of product per hectare in a water volume of 300 – 1500 litres of water per hectare.

Rinse empty containers and add rinsings to the spray tank. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete. Water volumes should be based on the size of the trees and leaf area at application, and sufficient to ensure good coverage. The water volume should not exceed 1500 litres of water per hectare.
