fall crop DISEASE protection.
Nufarm Technical Services Manager, Rick Fletcher, presents practical tools and tips for Fall Crop Disease Protection during Cultivate’19.
This session provides best practices and the ability of tools like 3336® and Spirato® GHN fungicides to effectively protect crops from profit-threatening diseases.
use summary
Foliar Spray
For control of Rhizoctonia spp., Alternaria spp., Septoria spp., Myrothecium spp., and Cercospora spp., use 1-2 fl oz/100 gal of water and spray to runoff at 7 to 14 day intervals. For control of Botrytis spp. use 2-4 fl oz/100 gal of water and spray to runoff at 7 to 14 day intervals. For management of the potential development of resistance in the Botrytis population, use no more than two consecutive applications before rotating to another effective
product registered for Botrytis control on ornamentals with a different mode of action.
Notes: Under severe conditions, use the highest rate and/or the shortest application interval. Use sufficient spray volume to wet the plants to the point of drip. For a single foliar application, apply up to a maximum of 4 fl oz/100 gal (1 fl oz/25 gal) (0.188 lbs ai/A).
Pre-Potting Growing Media Mix
Spirato® GHN Fungicide can be mixed with the potting media before seeding or transplanting by uniformly mixing 1-2 fl oz/cu yd of potting media. The desired amount of Spirato GHN Fungicide should be mixed with 5-10 gal of water and applied to 1 (one) cu yd of potting media. Treatment should be made just before the plants are seeded or potted up.
Growing Medium Drench At Seeding
For the control of damping-off, root, and stem diseases, mix 1 fl oz/100 gal of water. For control of Rhizoctonia spp., apply sufficient mix to wet the upper one-half of the growing medium. For control of other root and stem diseases, completely drench the growing medium. Make only one application to the seeding crop prior to transplanting or transfer to larger containers.
Growing Medium Drench for Transplants and Cuttings
For the control of root and stem diseases, mix 1-2 fl oz/100 gal of water. For control of Rhizoctonia spp., apply sufficient mix to wet the upper one-half of the growing medium. For control of other root and stem diseases, completely drench the growing medium. If needed, retreat transplants and cuttings at 21 to 28 day intervals.
Notes: Under severe conditions, use the highest rates and/or the shortest application interval. If Pythium and/or Phytophthora diseases are suspected in addition to root rots caused by Rhizoctonia spp., Cylindrocladium spp., Thielaviopsis spp., Fusarium spp., and Sclerotium spp., tank mix Spirato GHN Fungicide with labeled rates of a fungicide labeled for control of these diseases, such as Adorn® and Phostrol®. Drench applications can be made at up to a maximum of 2 pt/sq ft to wet the root zone of plants (1.6 lb ai/A).
Maximum Use Rates
For indoor drench applications, use up to 30 fl oz/1000 sq ft/year (10 gal [40 lbs AI] per acre).
Applications to pre-potting mix can be made up to 4 fl oz/cu yd.
For field grown and landscape ornamentals, apply up to a maximum of 1.5 fl oz/1000 sq ft/year (0.51 gal [2.04 lbs AI] per acre). The single maximum application rate is 0.68 lb fludioxonil/A/application. For outdoor container grown ornamentals, apply up to a maximum of 3 fl oz/1000 sq ft /year (1 gal [4 lbs AI]/A/year).
See label for complete directions for use.
RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS
Hawaii: use is limited to ornamentals grown in interiorscapes, greenhouses, lath and shade
houses, containers, or other enclosed structures.
Nassau and Suffolk Counties, New York: use is limited to ornamentals grown in interiorscapes,

Do not apply Spirato GHN Fungicide with any type of aircraft.
Observe the following precautions when spraying in the vicinity of aquatic areas:
Do not apply within 75 ft of bodies of water. For plantings within 150 ft of bodies of water, spray crops from outside the planting away from the bodies of water.
Shut off the sprayer when at row ends. Spray the last three rows windward of aquatic areas using nozzles on one side only, with spray directed away from aquatic areas.
Do not cultivate within 10 ft of aquatic areas as to allow a vegetative filter strip.
Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift to aquatic areas. Do not apply when gusts or sustained winds exceed 10 mph. Do not apply during a temperature inversion.
See label for complete application precautions and restrictions.
