A water dispersible granule containing 4.5% w/w cymoxanil and 68% w/w mancozeb for the control of potato blight.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 

DISEASE CONTROL
CURZATE M WG combines the local systemic action of cymoxanil and the protectant activity of mancozeb for the control of blight (Phytophthora infestans) of potatoes.

Disease Resistance
When fungicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, naturally occurring less sensitive strains may survive, propagate and become dominant in that field. It is therefore advised that wherever possible spray programmes should include fungicides with differing modes of action.

CROPS
CURZATE M WG can be used on all varieties of early and maincrop potatoes. On crops grown for processing consult your processor before use.

TIMING AND WEATHER
Timing of spray applications should take into account the normal prevalence of the disease in the area and conditions in the particular season. The first spray should be applied as soon as there is a risk of blight infection or an official warning has been issued. In the absence of a warning, spraying should begin just before the crop meets along the rows.
Applications should be repeated at 10-14 day intervals depending on the prevalence of the disease and favourable conditions for infection. A 7 day spray interval may be used under exceptional circumstances e.g. blight risk is already high and rain is forecast at the time of the next 10 day spray is due. The longer interval is recommended under dry conditions. Irrigation of crops increases the risk of blight and crops should always be sprayed with CURZATE M WG as soon as possible after
irrigation subject to the minimum spray interval. High-risk situations include conditions of rapid growth, irrigated crops, areas of intensive potato growing, particularly blight-sensitive varieties, when further warnings are issued, or when active blight is in the area. 

DOSE 

Apply CURZATE M WG at 2.5 kg/ha

VOLUME AND APPLICATION
Apply CURZATE M WG in not less than 200 litres of water per hectare using a MEDIUM quality spray (as defined by BCPC) .

MIXING
CURZATE M WG mixes easily with water, but the following mixing procedure should be followed: Quarter fill the spray tank with water and start the agitation. Slowly add the required quantity of CURZATE M WG directly to the tank. Continue agitation while topping up the tank and while spraying.

WARNING
KEEP AWAY FROM FIRE OR SPARKS.
Do not allow CURZATE M WG to become wet during storage or keep opened packs from one season to another as this may reduce the effectiveness of the fungicide and may create vapours that may be flammable.
