Time of application
For the control of leaf scab, apply PIRIM as part of a protectant fungicide programme commencing at the start of bud burst. Depending on disease pressure, treat at intervals of 10 − 14 days, using a maximum of four applications of PIRIM per crop. A minimum of 56 days must elapse between the last spray of PIRIM and harvest.

Rate of application
Apply 1.125 litres PIRIM in 500 − 1500 litres of water per hectare.
Spray to achieve thorough and even cover of foliage but not to the point of run-off.
Where tree height and/or canopy density is reduced, the dose (and water volume) should be adjusted in accordance with an appropriate dose adjustment scheme. Consult your specialist advisor for further information.
Further information on the PACE scheme is available from HDC, or see the HDC leaflet (Orchard Spraying: Opportunities to reduce rates).
