GENERAL INFOMATION
Serenade Max is a bio-fungicide/bactericide to aid in the control and suppression of powdery mildew and botrytis and sour rot in grapes, fireblight in pipfruit, botrytis on berryfruit, kiwifruit, persimmons and onions, and various diseases on avocados, citrus, lettuce and turf. Serenade Max is suitable for use in organic production systems and has BioGro certification. Serenade Max has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activity. Additionally it also stimulates natural plant defence mechanisms and has demonstrated increased plant growth effects. Serenade Max contains a unique strain of Bacillus subtilis (QST 713 strain).

APPLES, PEARS
Disease: Fireblight
Use: Make the first application up to 5% blossom and apply 250 - 500 g/100 L (or 2.5 - 5 kg/ha) following a streptomycin application to minimise disease resistance to antibiotics. Under severe disease infection periods, repeat applications may be made at 3 - 7 day intervals, using the longer interval after petal fall. The addition of a suitable adjuvant (eg Du-Wett) is recommended. 

AVOCADOS
Disease: Anthracnose
Use: Apply 200 g/100 L in a tank mixture with the lowest rate of a copper-based fungicide, or 300 g/100 L alone over flowering.

CITRUS
Disease: Botrytis
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of plants and flower parts. Apply at 50% flowering and repeat at 7 - 10 day intervals if disease conditions persist. Ensure high volume application with surfactant for coverage.

Disease: Anthracnose
Use: Apply 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L to ensure complete coverage of plants and flower parts at monthly intervals from early flowering to harvest.

Disease: Greasy spot
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L to ensure complete coverage. For suppression, begin applications at first leafy flush, and repeat at later flushes. Include spray oil in tank mixture. Can also be tank mixed with other fungicides including copper-based ones.

Disease: Melanose
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L in sufficient water from to ensure complete coverage of plants and flower parts from petal fall and repeat at 14 - 21 day intervals.

Disease: Grey mould, Powdery mildew, Sour rot
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of plants and flower parts. Serenade Max can be used all season particularly in organic crops. Use no more than two applications back to back without alternating with other products. Under high pressure in conventional blocks use the best available alternatives at critical timings 80% cap fall and bunch closure. Serenade Max can be used later in the season as it has nil residues and no withholding period restrictions. Two strategically timed applications of Serenade Max are recommended at 4 - 5 weeks from harvest and again one week from harvest.

KIWIFRUIT
Disease: Botrytis
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg /ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L when disease conditions are conducive to infection at late flowering to early fruit set and immediately pre-harvest. Under heavy disease pressure, use in a spray program with other fungicides. May give suppression of sclerotinia.

LETTUCE
Disease: Sclerotinia minor
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L. Apply as a soil drench immediately before or after transplanting or seedling crop emergence. Repeat as necessary before crop coverage of the soil and alternate with another fungicide for greater disease control spectrum. Does not control sclerotiorum.

ORNAMENTALS
Diseases: Botrytis & Downy mildew
Use: Apply 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of plants and flower parts at the first sign of disease and repeat at 7 - 10 day intervals.

PERSIMMON
Disease: Botrytis
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L. Apply over flowering and repeat at 7 - 10 day intervals if disease conditions persist.

STRAWBERRIES, BERRY FRUIT
Disease: Botrytis
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of plants from early flowering and during harvest at 10 - 14 day intervals if disease conditions persist. Include a wetting agent and repeat in a program of alternation with other fungicides.

ONIONS
Diseases: Botrytis & Downy mildew
Use: 2.5 - 4.0 kg/ha or 250 - 400 g/100 L in sufficient water to ensure complete coverage of plants and flower parts. As part of a program, apply pre-harvest for the moderate control and suppression of diseases.
