Active Ingredient(s): 45% w/w cymoxanil 
Formulation: Water dispersible granules 
Pack Size: 1 KG 

 

 

Allow a minimum of 7 days between applications.

Only apply DRUM in tank mixture with other fungicides containing a different active ingredient.

 

When fungicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, naturally occurring less sensitive strains may survive, propagate and become dominant in that field. It is therefore advised that wherever possible spray programmes should include fungicides with different modes of action and observe manufacturers recommendations on dose, timing and spray interval. Cymoxanil must always be used in mixture with actives of a different mode of action, and alternate in the spray programme with other mixed formulations of active ingredients with different modes of action or fungicide families.

 

DRUM can be used on all varieties of early and main crop potatoes. On crops grown for processing, consult your processor before use.

 

Timing of spray applications should take into account the normal prevalence of the disease in the area and conditions in the particular season. The first spray should be applied as soon as there is a risk of blight infection or an official warning has been issued, whichever occurs first.

In the absence of a warning, spraying should begin just before the crop meets along the rows.

Applications should be repeated at 10-14 day intervals depending on the prevalence of the disease and favourable conditions for infection. A 7 day spray interval may be used under exceptional circumstances, e.g. blight risk is already high and rain is forecast at the time the next 10 day spray is due. High risk situations include conditions of rapid growth, irrigated crops, areas of intensive potato growing, particularly blight sensitive varieties, when further warnings are issued, or when active blight is in the area. The longer interval is recommended under dry conditions. Irrigation of crops increases the risk of blight and crops should always be sprayed with DRUM as soon as possible after irrigation subject to the minimum spray interval. Irrigated crops should normally be sprayed at 10 day intervals.

 

DRUM should be applied at 0.2-0.25 kg/ha in tank-mixture with one of the following products; the highest rate of DRUM should be used when conditions are favourable for P. infestans and disease pressure is high.

Fluazinam (Shirlan, MAPP 10573 & MAPP 16624) at 0.3-0.4 litres product per hectare (rate of Shirlan is dependent on blight risk and spray interval, see product label). This mixture will give a reduction in tuber blight.

OR

Cyazofamid (Ranman Top, MAPP14753) at 500ml of product per hectare. This mixture will reduce the percentage of blight affected tubers due to the activity of Ranman Top.

All other requirements and restrictions on the partner product label should be adhered to.

 

Apply DRUM in not less than 200 litres of water per hectare using a MEDIUM quality spray (as defined by BCPC).

 

Spraying equipment should be thoroughly cleaned before spraying. DRUM mixes easily with water and should be added directly to the spray tank during filling. Wash out container and add washings to the spray tank. Continue agitation until spraying is complete.
