%PDF-1.5 A patternator can help you understand where most of the spray is ending up. With the high cost of pesticide applications in terms of product cost, fuel and labor, as well as environmental impact, it is important to get as much benefit from them as possible. Effectiveness of Fungicides on Grape Diseases. Fixed copper formulations and lime should not be used with Guthion, Imidan, Sevin, Thiodan, Bayleton or Captan as efficacy may be lessened and the risk of phytotoxicity increased. In our experience, most biocontrol agents like Serenade do benefit from the use of stickers or extenders, such as Nu-Film P. In some cases, adjuvants have a disease-suppressive effect because they are detrimental to pathogens, i.e., surfactants zoospores of downy mildew pathogens to explode. In addition, chemical incompatibility may cause products to go out of solution/suspension and precipitate in the bottom of the tank. For a list of pesticides and their sensitivity to pH, see the 2014 Michigan Fruit Management Guide, page 65-66. The higher the temperature and lower the relative humidity, the greater the opportunity for fungicide evaporation or volatilization. While most fungicides are stable over a range of pH values, some fungicides, like captan, mancozeb, can degrade under alkaline conditions. If you are not getting the control you used to get with a particular product, do consider the possibility of fungicide resistance. }d<3a;BdaCC1=a=h^mV^(f,V]e[5{t ig8\.S2 'or)A T3=(Q. Use a contact fungicide first or in the tank-mix, if appropriate, to kill spores. endobj / vufTzb5d:wB#vlzY%qT_'m _iB3w "VzOm7RyY5 Also, try to avoid applying systemic fungicides on heavily sporulating colonies as the probability of selecting mutants increases with higher pathogen population densities. Captan can become phytotoxic when applied with oil or within four days of an oil spray. endobj p(kJCeNNAEUIuS8PHDh{ For instance, dont tank-mix copper with the biofungicide Serenade (Bacillus subtilis a bacterium), since copper is toxic to bacteria and can inactivate Serenade. Mr Vimal, it is good to have you to discuss the trends in the agrochemical industry. Avoid letting the spray sit overnight in the spray tank. Ways to reduce the risk of fungicide resistance include alternating or tank-mixing fungicides with different modes of action and avoiding spraying systemic fungicides at below-label rates. Apply systemic fungicides like Abound under humid, cloudy conditions when the soil is moist. If conditions are not good for spraying, it is better to wait an extra day for better conditions than to lose most of the product to drift. We comply with the Federal Trade Commission 1998 Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Product information provided is for reference purposes only.

This can be avoided by spraying early in the morning when temperatures are lower and the relative humidity is higher. Use the right kind of nozzles for the intended application. Technical Name: Azoxystrobin 18.2% + Difenoconazole 11.4% SC, Technical Name: Tebuconazole 6.7% + Captan 26.9% w/w SC. There are several things Michigan State University Extension recommends you consider in improving fungicide spray efficacy and efficiency. information. Under extended hot, dry conditions, the cuticle becomes flattened and less permeable; any product that is not absorbed may remain on the plant surface and break down due to UV light or microbes or get washed off by rain. <>/OutputIntents[<>] /Metadata 5045 0 R/ViewerPreferences 5046 0 R>> refer to and follow label directions. Use an appropriate fungicide for the diseases you want to control. Nozzles that produce very find droplets may lead to more drift and less deposition on the target. Another important timing consideration is the time of day, particularly as it relates to temperature and humidity relationships. 110026. <> This article was published by Michigan State University Extension. m|P9#^-8|vL6HUD Regularly scout vineyards to know what diseases are present and if you are not sure what the problem is, send a sample to MSU Diagnostic Services. Consider these tips in improving fungicide spray efficacy and efficiency. Similarly, the biofungicide RootShield (Trichoderma harzianum - a fungus) is incompatible with the fungicides Orbit (propiconazole), Elite (tebuconazole) and Procure (triflumizole), which can kill the Trichoderma spores. We strongly recommend users to Pruning/training plants to have a more open and exposed canopy will aid in disease control by reducing moisture and humidity and improving spray penetration. Systemic fungicides can last a bit longer. stream Issued in furtherance of MSU Extension work, acts of May 8 and June 30, 1914, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Also, dont tank-mix bicarbonates with phosphorous acids or use lime with Captan as fungicide activity will be reduced. %PDF-1.7 In addition to the reduced drift hazard from fungicide volatilization early in the morning, drift may also be minimized in the morning hours due of calmer winds and lower convective air turbulence. Apply the fungicide in a sufficient volume of water to obtain thorough coverage, but not to run-off; any fungicide that runs off the plant is lost and is more likely to contaminate ground water. 3 0 obj For instance, do not tank-mix sulfur and oil-containing products or spray them within two weeks of each other. % jk0_xmek%C,}k(0V._""Z+_!uK~spi~u}q._&2NEB 0=not effective; +=slight effectiveness; ++=moderate effectiveness; +++=very effective; --=insufficient data.

Dr. Schilders work is funded in part by MSUs AgBioResearch. You may need to reapply protectant fungicides after 1-2 inches of rain. <> 2 0 obj During rainy periods, systemic fungicides perform better than protectant/contact fungicides since they are less susceptible to wash-off by rain, although eventually a portion of systemic fungicides also gets washed off by rain. Use disease models if they are available, such as MSU Enviro-weather, to estimate disease risk so as to optimize application timing. In fact, it appears that protectant fungicides become better adsorbed to the plant surface and more rainfast over several days after application. Both temperature and humidity can affect fungicide drift. endobj Remember all products that drifts away are lost for the purposes of disease control and may contaminate non-target areas and crops. This should be done at the beginning of the growing season. Small amount of water, and begin agitation. Spray volume should be increased as a crop canopy expands, e.g., for an airblast sprayer in grapes, it is recommended to start out with 30 gpa early in the season then increase to 50 gpa after bloom and maybe as high as 75 gpa at veraison. A good time to calibrate is in early spring. The use of wettable powder sprays enlarges nozzle openings, so calibration of each nozzle is essential. Apply protectant fungicides like Captan, Manzate or Bravo during sunny, dry conditions to allow for quick drying onto the leaves.

The 4-H Name and Emblem have special protections from Congress, protected by code 18 USC 707. You can also place water-sensitive spray cards in different positions in the canopy to evaluate spray coverage. However, many modern fungicides are formulated in such a way that adjuvants are not necessary. To get the most curative (post-infection) action from a systemic fungicide, apply the highest labeled rate since activity is concentration dependent. endobj Check the pH of the spray solution, especially when using alkaline well water. #:X70` _n|SV#.V|vD>Fs( f RT=vF{k i0X+ /3s=(vYN z*k8XoB G"C!7p\fdAF,. This could be an issue with pathogens that have a high reproductive potential, like powdery mildews and rusts, which have been exposed to repeated sprays of systemic fungicides, such as the strobilurins (Abound) or MBCs (Topsin M). 3 0 obj For instance, the half-life of captan is 32 hours at pH 5, eight hours at pH 7, and 10 minutes at pH 8. <>>> Adjust sprayer nozzles to aim at the intended target, i.e., the part of the plant most likely to be affected; reduce speed or airflow to get more fungicide on the target and less drift. % Best Agrolife Ltd. is a publicly listed company committed to serving the globe through agriculture, making each farmer prosperous in the process! 1 0 obj S-1 A, Ground Floor, Bhagwan Das Nagar, East Punjabi Bagh New Delhi Also, do not apply phosphorous acids to plants that are stressed, due to heat or drought stress. Do not apply sulfur to sensitive crop cultivars or at temperatures above 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Tank-mixing certain fungicides can increase the risk of phytotoxicity. Do consider that some adjuvants have pre-harvest intervals (PHI) listed on the label, i.e., Nu-Film 17 has a PHI of 30 days as this product can extend pesticide residues longer than permitted. That way, the cuticle, or waxy layer covering the plant surface, will be swelled up and allows the active ingredients to quickly pass through. Use an appropriate sprayer for the crop and calibrate your sprayer so you know you are applying the right amount of product per acre. Check out the MSU Agricultural Operations Program! BKF }] endobj Tank-mixing some fungicides can inactivate one or both. Dry flowables or water-dispersible granules. Do not apply copper under cool, slow-drying conditions. Spraying fungicides when there is a light breeze, 2-6 miles per hour at nozzle level, is actually better than spraying during still conditions, because even without wind there may be updrafts and eddies caused by the spray equipment leading to fungicide off-target movement. Fungicides should, whenever possible, be mixed and sprayed as soon after mixing as possible. Coverage is especially important for protectant fungicides. For instance, fungicides in dissolvable bags are incompatible with spray oils and boron-containing fertilizers because these materials prevent the bags from dissolving. In fact, some fungicide labels prohibit the use of adjuvants due to the increased potential for phytotoxicity. endobj 10EU6hh"5T ,T8ni?=LxC"SbI8=jSlv}W % Fungicides with two FRAC codes contain active ingredients with two different modes of action.

Chemical compatibility also needs to be considered. While it is better to have protectant fungicide applications on before a rain or heavy dew event which could represent an infection period, avoid putting on protectant fungicides within several hours before a rainstorm as you may lose much of it to wash-off. For instance, with an airblast sprayer, insufficient product is deposited on the second and third rows to get good disease control. This information is for educational purposes only. Any dew formation at night will help redistribute product over the plant surface. 2 0 obj Table 55. Annemiek Schilder, Michigan State University Extension, Department of Plant, Soil, and Microbial Sciences - Also, do not tank-mix phosphorous acids such as Prophyt or Phostrol with copper, as copper can become more available and phytotoxic in acidic solutions. 1 0 obj The same goes for preventive action; usually a higher rate often extends the residual period. 1998 Childrens Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
