POTATOES - CONTROL OF POTATO FOLIAR LATE BLIGHT (PHYTOPHTHORA INFESTANS)
Application rate Apply 2.0 kg Penncozeb® 80 WP in at least 200 litres of water per hectare.
Max Total Dose: 16.0 kg/ha.

Timing
1. Areas of severe late foliar blight infection* : Apply the first spray before the haulm meets across the rows or as soon as a foliar late blight warning is received, whichever occurs first. Repeat every 7 days until the haulm is burnt off.
2. Areas where foliar late blight is less common and less severe. Apply the first spray when a foliar late blight warning is issued. Further application should be made at 10-14 days intervals for as long as blight conditions persist, until the haulm is burnt off. irrigated crops fall into this category.

IN ALL CASES EFFICIENT SPRAYING TO GIVE COMPLETE COVERAGE OF FOLIAGE IS ESSENTIAL

APPLES & PEARS - CONTROL OF SCAB Penncozeb 80 WP may only be applied on orchards after the first flowers open (BBCH 60)
Application rate : High volume: 2.0 kg in 500 - 1000 litres water per hectare. Max Total Dose: 8.0kg/ha
Timing : Start spraying at bud burst and repeat sprays at 7-10 days intervals until the end of June, or later if necessary. The safety of Penncozeb® 80 WP on parasites and predators used in integrated control systems has not been established and safety cannot be assumed

Resistance Management
Mancozeb belongs to the dithiocarbamates group of fungicides, FRAC group M. No cross resistance between this group is known. Use in a spraying programme either alternating or mixed with other fungicides in order to delay the development of fungus strain resistance to substances from other groups.

STORAGE
Store in dry conditions and make sure that the bag is kept tightly closed when not in use. Keep away from sparks and naked flames.
