Enervin SC is a protectant fungicide for use in the early stages of foliar late blight (Phytophthora infestans) in potato and white tip (Phytophthora porri) in leek.

Crop Specific Information
Potatoes
Enervin SC can be used on all varieties of potato, including seed crops.

Time of application
Enervin SC should be applied as part of a repeat spray programme at 5 – 10 day intervals, depending on disease pressure. As disease pressure and the risk of late blight infection increases, the interval should be shortened. Irrigated crops should be treated as high risk.
Applications of Enervin SC should begin as soon as there is a risk of blight infection, or an official blight warning has been issued. In the absence of any warnings, applications should commence before the crop meets along the rows.

Rate of application
1.2 L/ha Enervin SC in 200-400 L/ha of water.
Leek
Qualified recommendation for a minor use:
There is limited evidence of crop safety and effectiveness for the control of Phytophthora porri in leek

Time of application
Enervin SC should be applied as part of a repeat spray programme at 7 – 10 day intervals, depending on disease pressure. As disease pressure and the risk of white tip infection increases, the interval should be shortened. Irrigated crops should be treated as high risk.
Applications of Enervin SC should begin as soon as there is a risk of white tip.

Rate of application
1.2 L/ha Enervin SC in 350-1000 L/ha water

Mixing and Application
Mixing
Never prepare more spray solution than is required.
Three quarters fill the tank with clean water and start the agitation. To ensure thorough mixing of the product, invert the container several times before opening. Add the required quantity of Enervin SC to the spray tank while re-circulating. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.
When tank mixes are to be used, take due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing. Each product should be added separately to the spray tank and fully dispersed before the addition of any further product(s).
All tank mixes should be used immediately after mixing.
On emptying the container, rinse container thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or by manually rinsing three times. Add washings to tank at the time of filling and dispose of container safely.

Application
Apply in a water volume of 200 – 400 l/ha for potato and 350 – 1000 l/ha for leek, selecting the appropriate water volume for the density of the crop, ensuring good coverage of the foliage and stems.
Apply as a MEDIUM spray, as defined by BCPC
