DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Disease control TIZCA is a fungicide for control of foliar blight (Phytophthora infestans) and protection against tuber blight (Phytophthora infestans) in potatoes

Crops
TIZCA can be used in early and maincrop potatoes and in seed potatoes.

Rate and Time of Application
Apply TIZCA at 400 ml/ha.

Initial application:
Irrespective of crop growth stage, apply TIZCA at the first warning or when local weather conditions are favourable for the disease, whichever is the sooner. In the absence of weather conducive to disease development, the first application should be made just before the crop meets in the rows.

Mixing and Spraying:
Apply TIZCA in 200-500 l/ha of water.
Use adequate water to ensure complete coverage of the foliage and stems, increasing the volume as haulm growth progresses, particularly in dense crops and under high or severe blight risk conditions.
Apply as a ‘medium’ spray, as defined by BCPC.
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Shake the container well before opening and pour in the required amount of product.
Rinse empty containers thoroughly and add rinsings to the spray tank.
Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.
When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing. Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods.

Advice for operators
TIZCA may cause transient skin reaction in a small number of sensitive individuals.
People who have been sensitised by TIZCA should not use or have further contact with the product.
Avoid contact with spray drift. Ensure spraying is carried out under good conditions and that the sprayer is adjusted to minimise drift.
Do not allow unprotected skin to come into contact with contaminated clothing.
Do not allow unprotected skin to come into contact with contaminated sprayer parts.
Ensure sprayer is washed down daily.
Wash all protective clothing regularly, preferably daily, when working with TIZCA.
When entering crops do allow unprotected skin to come into contact with treated foliage.

Compatibility
For information on tank mixing please contact your distributor or refer to the Headland Agrochemicals web-site (www.headland-ag.co.uk).

Resistance: 
Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogen less sensitive to TIZCA develop.
Make a timely start to spray programmes, when there is warning or risk, or, in the absence of weather conducive to disease development, just before the crop foliage begins to meet in the rows. Use forecast schemes and /or local knowledge to time application more accurately.
Alternate with other fungicides having a different mode of action to FRAC Group 29 fungicides.
