DISEASES CONTROLLED
Proxanil is a foliar fungicide containing 400 g/L propamocarb hydrochloride and 50 g/L cymoxanil. It can be used for the preventative treatment of foliar late blight (Phytopthtora infestans) on potato.

CROP-SPECIFIC INFORMATION
RATE OF USE:
The degree of blight pressure should always be considered when planning fungicide applications for blight control.
Proxanil should be used in a disease control programme at 7 – 10 day spray intervals and may be applied at 2.5/L ha in 300-400 L water per hectare.
Use lonals when disease pressure is lower. If disease pressure increases (usually later in the season) then reducing the spray interval will give enhanced protection

CROP VARIETIES:
All varieties of early and maincrop potatoes may be treated with Proxanil. On crops grown for processing, consult your processor before use

BLIGHT CONTROL PROGRAMMES AND DISEASE RISK
Fungicides for potato blight control are predominantly protective in effect and to achieve best results the disease control programme should begin before blight becomes active in the crop.
Spraying should commence when the crop meets within the row or following the first blight infection period (whichever is the earlier).
Potato blight development and disease risk is generally favoured by warm wet conditions and there are well established systems for identifying high risk periods from crop and meteorological data. Growers should monitor crops and weather conditions to establish risk levels for their crop. Local or regional information on risk periods may also be a guide and is published from a number of sources.
Crops grown under irrigation should also generally be regarded as at high risk and treated at 7 day intervals. Treatment should be applied after irrigation.
Do not apply 'Proxanil' if rainfall is imminent.

APPLICATION
Add the required quantity of Proxanil to a half-filled spray tank with continuous agitation, then add the remaining volume of water. Spray immediately after mixing and continue agitation during spraying. Wash out the sprayer thoroughly with water and liquid detergent immediately after use. Finally wash out with water and drain

SPRAY QUALITY
Apply Proxanil as a medium spray as defined by the BCPC system.

RESISTANCE
To reduce the risk it is in your interest to plan a programme of treatments using fungicides with different modes of action.

DRIFT
Avoid spray drift outside those areas being sprayed.

Shake well before use
Store well away from seeds, fertilizers and animal feedingstuffs in a safe dry place designated as an agrochemical store.
