POTATOES – CONTROL OF POTATO FOLIAR LATE BLIGHT (PHYTOPHTHORA INFESTANS)
Application rate Apply 2.1 kg Penncozeb® WDG in at least 200 litres of water per hectare. Max total dose 16.8kg/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. A 7 day spray interval may be used under exceptional circumstances where for instance, foliar late blight risk is already high and rain is forecast at the time the next spray is due.
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 late foliar blight conditions persist, until the haulm is burnt off. * Irrigated crops for 10 days after burning off
IN ALL CASES EFFICIENT SPRAYING TO GIVE COMPLETE COVERAGE OF FOLIAGE IS ESSENTIAL

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.
