Maccani is a protectant and systemic fungicide for the control of apple scab (Venturia inaequalis), moderate control of powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha) in apples and control of scab (Venturia pirina) in pears.

 

Maccani contains pyraclostrobin (a QoI inhibitor). Apply QoI fungicides according to manufacturer’s recommendations for the target disease (or complex) at the specific crop growth stage indicated and adapted to size of trees. Effective disease management is a critical parameter in delaying the build-up of resistant pathogen populations.

QoI fungicides must be applied only in mixture with partners contributing to the effective control of the target pathogens. Maccani meets this requirement as it contains dithianon. To ensure the effectiveness of the dithianon component as a partner, Maccani should always be applied at the full recommended rate.

Maccani should be used preventatively and should not be relied on for its curative potential. Under high disease pressure the spray interval should be 7 days.

Use a maximum of four applications of Maccani per year. Where the total number of fungicidal treatments to crops are less than twelve, the maximum number of treatments with Maccani or other QoI products should be three.

A maximum of two consecutive QoI fungicide sprays is preferred. Where field performance may be adversely affected, apply QoI containing fungicides in mixtures in strict alternation with fungicides from a different cross-resistance group.

 

 

APPLES AND PEARS 

Apply Maccani from the start of bud burst prior to disease development and repeat at 7 - 10 day intervals. Where disease pressure is high, use the 7 day spray interval for optimum disease control. Use a maximum of four applications of Maccani per year It is recommended to apply Maccani at 2.5 kg of product per hectare in 250 – 1500 litres of water per hectare Water volumes should be based on the size of the trees and leaf area at application and sufficient to ensure good coverage.

Maccani contains dithianon. Some apple varieties may be considered to be susceptible to russetting following dithianon treatments during fruit development. * Advisory Information is not part of the Product Label under the Control of Pesticides Regulations 1986.
