Moximate 725 WP is a fungicide combining the protective attributes of Mancozeb belonging to the ethylenebisdithiocarbamate (EBDC) group and the local systemic attributes of Cymoxanil, a member of the cyanoacetamide oximes. Moximate 725 WP has a preventive and curative mode of action against the listed pathogens. In order to achieve optimal results, Moximate 725 WP should be applied as a preventive treatment, just before the disease infection period.

Rainfall or irrigation within 2 hours after application may reduce effectiveness.

POTATOES Late blight Phytophthora infestans
Timing of application BBCH 10-91
Generally May – September, depending on crop variety (early-late)
First spray - Areas of high blight risk Spray before the foliage meets across the rows, and before blight enters the crop. However, if a blight warning is issued for the area, spray immediately. First spray - Areas of lower blight risk Spray immediately when a blight warning is issued.
Second and subsequent sprays Once the blight programme has been started, make repeat applications at 10-14 day intervals, depending on conditions supporting an infection. Apply at the shorter interval as long as the blight threat remains high.
High risk situation If wet weather is forecasted for the time when the next spray is due, the spray interval may be reduced to 7 days.
Regard an irrigated crop as being at high risk to blight. Spray shortly after irrigation when the foliage has dried subject to the minimum spray interval.
