Product Information

Provysol fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide containing the active ingredient mefentrifluconazole for use in beans and peas, citrus, cucurbit vegetables, fruiting vegetables, peanut, rapeseed (canola), sugar beet, sugarcane, and tuberous and corm vegetables (including potato). For optimum disease control, apply Provysol fungicide in a regularly scheduled protective spray program and use in a rotation program with non-Group 3 fungicides. Mode of Action Mefentrifluconazole, the active ingredient in Provysol fungicide, inhibits the demethylation step of sterol biosynthesis (DMI), which disrupts cell membrane synthesis and is classified by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) as a Group 3 fungicide.

Resistance Management

For resistance management, ProvysolTM fungicide contains a Group 3 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to ProvysolTM fungicide and other Group 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed. To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of ProvysolTM fungicide or other Group 3 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. • Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer. • Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. • Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance. • Monitor treatment area for lack of biological efficacy that might indicate possible resistance development. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistancemanagement and/or Integrated Pest Management (IPM) recommendations for specific crops and pathogens. • For further information or to report suspected resistance consult your local BASF representative, extension specialist, or certified crop advisor.

Application Instructions

• Thorough and uniform coverage is required for optimum performance.

• Provysol fungicide can be applied by ground or air, and through field sprinkler irrigation (chemigation) systems.

• Provysol fungicide can be applied through field sprinkler irrigation (chemigation) systems except on sugarcane.

• DO NOT apply this product to sugarcane through any type of irrigation system.

• Application equipment, including injection systems, must be cleaned thoroughly before and after applying this product, particularly if a product with the potential to injure crops was used before application of Provysol fungicide. Flush system with clean water.
