Dithianon Flowable is a fungicide used for the control of scab on apples and pears. Where mildew is prevalent apply Dithianon Flowable in conjunction with a mildew fungicide.

 

Apply only to apples and pears.

Apply from the beginning of bud burst. Repeat at 10 to 14 day intervals until danger of scab attack ceases. On variety Golden Delicious, do not use Dithianon Flowable after green cluster.

At least 28 days after last application.

Low Volume: Apply 1.1 litres of Dithianon Flowable in a minimum of 200 litres of water per hectare with a 10 day interval between applications. Water volumes should be based on the size of the trees and the leaf area at application and should be sufficient to ensure good coverage.

High Volume: On a 14 day interval apply 0.75 litres of Dithianon Flowable in 1000 litres of water per hectare OR on a 10 day spray interval apply 0.5 litres of Dithianon Flowable in 1000 litres of water per hectare. Under severe infection conditions or when wood scab is prevalent apply the higher rate at 10 day intervals. Also use a higher rate with a 10 day spray interval on varieties that are highly susceptible to scab infection, when carryover is high or when crop growth is rapid.

Dithianon Flowable is a protectant fungicide. If scab infection periods have already occurred prior to application consider a tank mix with a product which has curative activity.
