DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Zampro DM is a fungicide with a combination of protectant, translaminar and locally systemic leaf activity for the control of foliar late blight (Phytophthora infestans) and the reduction of tuber blight in potatoes.
 
Disease Control
Zampro DM will control foliar late blight on leaves and reduce the incidence of tuber blight when used as part of a full programme of correctly timed sprays.
Disease susceptibility
Zampro DM is most effective when applied as a protectant spray before the risk of blight occurs.
Zampro DM will give effective protection against phenylamide resistant strains of late blight.
Resistance management
Zampro DM contains a mixture of ametoctradin (a triazolo-pyrimidylamine, QxI fungicide) and dimethomorph (a CAA fungicide).
To minimize the risk of resistance developing, and in line with current FRAG-UK advice to use effective doses, use Zampro DM at the recommended rate (0.8 l/ha). No more than 3 consecutive applications of Zampro DM, and no more than a total of 4 applications of Zampro DM per season should be applied.
General advice:
Up to 6 applications of a CAA fungicide in mixture with a fungicide with a different mode of action, making up no more than half of the total number of intended late blight sprays per season, may be made.
No more than three consecutive applications of a CAA fungicide should be made.
Up to 6 applications of a Qxl fungicide in mixture with a fungicide with a different mode of action, making up no more than half of the total number of intended late blight sprays per season, may be made.
No more than three consecutive applications of a Qxl fungicide should be made.
Zampro DM will control strains of late blight resistant to phenylamides. No cross resistance to phenylamide resistant strains of blight have been observed.
If an intensive blight control programme is necessary, include products with different modes of action. When fungicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, naturally occurring less sensitive strains may survive, propagate and become dominant in that field. It is therefore advised that wherever possible spray programmes should include fungicides with differing modes of action. Zampro DM contains active substances with two different modes of action. For further advice on resistance management for potato blight (Phytophthora infestans) contact your agronomist or specialist advisor and/or visit the FRAG-UK and Potato Council websites.
 
Crop specific information
Crops
Zampro DM can be used on all varieties of potato, including seed crops.
Time of application
Foliar blight
Zampro DM 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 late blight infection increases, the interval should be shortened. Irrigated crops should be treated as high risk.
Applications of Zampro DM 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.
Tuber blight
To reduce the incidence of tuber blight at harvest, Zampro DM should be used at the recommended dose and spray intervals from tuber initiation to complete haulm dessication.
Rate of application
0.8 l/ha.
 
Mixing and Spraying
Mixing
Half fill the sprayer tank with clean water and start the agitation. Add the required amount of Zampro DM. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.
Never prepare more spray solution than is required.
Application
Apply as a medium spray, as defined by BCPC, in a water volume of 200–500 l/ha. Select the appropriate water volume for the density of the crop, ensuring good coverage of the foliage and stems.
Zampro DM is rainfast in 1 hour, providing application has been made to dry foliage and the spray has dried on the leaf.
Tank cleaning
Thoroughly wash out spray equipment after use.
