A suspension concentrate containing 500 g/l iprodione.

A seed treatment for the control of seed-borne Alternaria of ornamental seed and control of black scurf of potatoes.

A seed treatment for the control of seed-borne Alternaria of ornamental seed and control of black scurf of potatoes.

 

CONSULT PROCESSORS BEFORE USING ON CROPS INTENDED FOR PROCESSING.

Seed treatment may affect the rate of flow of seed through seed drills. Seed drills should be re-calibrated before sowing any treated seed.

 

Rovral AquaFlo controls Alternaria spp. of ornamentals.

Rovral AquaFlo controls black scurf of potato crops grown from treated seed.

Strains of Alternaria spp. resistant to iprodione are known to occur. Where strains exist Rovral AquaFlo may not give satisfactory control.

Rovral AquaFlo can be used on all varieties of early and maincrop potatoes grown for seed, ware or processing.

Apply Rovral AquaFlo after harvest or after grading out of seed grade potatoes, but before planting out of the seed potatoes in the spring. If chitting the seed potatoes, apply prior to traying out the crop, to avoid mechanical damage to the chits on a roller table.

Use Rovral AquaFlo at 200 ml per tonne of seed potatoes. Rovral AquaFlo may be applied undiluted or diluted as appropriate to the application system being used.

In potatoes, use of Rovral AquaFlo may result in an increased proportion of seed grade tubers, but this would not affect total yield.

Rovral AquaFlo should be applied through fully shrouded equipment over a roller table as follows: Spinning disc sprayer Spinning disc sprayer with electrostatics Hydraulic sprayer with solid or hollow cone jets with air or liquid pressure atomisation.

Best results have been shown using a hydraulic sprayer with solid or hollow cone jets with air or liquid pressure atomisation. Spinning disc sprayers and electrostatic methods of application may reduce efficacy. Water volume rates should be selected as appropriate to machinery manufacturers‘ recommendations.

Overall coverage and penetration of the spray to the skin surface will be improved at higher volumes.

Where dilution is necessary, fill the vessel/tank with half the required volume of water and add the required volume of Rovral AquaFlo. Make up to volume and agitate thoroughly before and throughout treatment.

Rovral AquaFlo may be applied sequentially, by co-application or by mixture with Fungazil 100 SL.

DO NOT excessively wet the seed potato skins when treating. Ensure that seed potatoes are clean and free from loose soil and skin before treatment. When treating potatoes, ensure that the roller tables and sprayers are correctly calibrated. (See manufacturers‘ recommendations and BCPC Guidelines). In situations where soil-borne inoculum of Rhizoctonia is high, treatment of seed potato tubers with Rovral AquaFlo may not give full protection against infection of stems and daughter tubers.
