APPLICATION RECOMMENDATIONS
Protect™ DF provides excellent protective activity and is most effective when applied prior to infection periods.
Apply 1.0-2.0 lb Protect DF per 100 gallons of water in full coverage sprays. To improve performance, add 2-4 oz of an effective spreader-sticker per 100 gallons of spray. Depending upon the life cycle of the listed pathogens, begin spraying either preventively at bud swell or at bud break, and continue throughout the growing season, or curatively at first sign of disease. Apply at 7-21 day intervals throughout the season as disease development conditions persist, or follow State Extension Service recommendation for specific disease control practices provided the 7-day retreatment intervals and the application rates and post-harvest intervals stated below are followed. Do not use edible portions of plant for food or feed purposes.
Cut flowers and greenhouse grown ornamentals: Maximum single application rate is 1.6 lb Protect DF/acre with 20 applications per season. Maximum seasonal application rate of 32 lbs Protect DF/acre. Minimum retreatment interval of 7 days.
Christmas trees and Douglas fir: Maximum single application rate is 4 lb Protect DF/acre. Minimum PHI of 14 days.
