BEDROCK can be used on all varieties of potatoes including seed potatoes

TIMING
BEDROCK is a protectant and curative fungicide so following good agricultural practice the programme should start BEFORE blight enters the crop. Commence spraying at the first blight warning or when local weather conditions are favourable for the disease. However applications 1 day after an infection event has occurred have shown to give good levels of control.
Intervals between applications of BEDROCK should be reduced as blight risk increases, so that protection of the crop can be maintained.
Applications of BEDROCK should be made at 7-10 day intervals depending on disease pressure. As disease pressure and the risk of late blight infection increase, the interval should be shortened.

Rates of Use
Apply BEDROCK at 0.6 kg product per hectare. Up to six applications may be made per crop. Allow a minimum of 7 days between applications.
Applications of BEDROCK can be made up to 7 days before harvest.
