Blight in potatoes (Phytophthora infestans) is a disease which is variable in its occurrence and severity. SIPCAM C50WG allows the use of a flexible programme to retain continuous healthy foliage free from disease. The recommended mixes combine the local systemic action of SIPCAM C50WG with protectant activity of MANCOZEB or FLUAZINAM.

The product is a foliar fungicide with a local systemic activity and protective and curative action. It also inhibits sporulation. SIPCAM C50WG will control strains of blight both resistant and sensitive to phenylamides.

 

All varieties of early and main crop potatoes may be treated with SIPCAM C50WG. On crops grown for processing consult your processor before use.

 

Spraying equipment should be thoroughly cleaned before spraying. SIPCAM C50WG should be added directly to the spray tank during filling. Continue agitation until spraying is completed. Wash out sprayer thoroughly after use.

 

Apply SIPCAM C50WG as a MEDIUM spray as defined in the BCPC system.

 

To reduce risk of resistance developing SIPCAM C50WG should be used as part of a spray programme of treatments using fungicides with different modes of action.

 

Apply 0.24 kg SIPCAM C50WG plus 1.7 kg products containing mancozeb in at least 200 litres of water per hectare.

 

Apply the first spray before the haulm meets across the rows or as soon as blight warning is received, whichever occurs first. Repeat every 10 days. A 7 day period may be used under exceptional circumstances where for instance, blight risk is already high and rain is forecast at the time the next spray is due.

SIPCAM C50WG may be applied to recommended crops in a two-way tank-mix with approved products containing either fluazinam or mancozeb: Please refer to mixing instructions. In keeping with good spraying practice, tank mixtures should not be allowed to stand in the tank and agitation be maintained at all times. Tank-mixed applications must be made within the label instruction of both products.
