Critical Comments

Inject trees at spring flush maturity – repeat treatment in February or March. Drill holes 5mm in diameter and 25mm to 50mm deep with slight downward angle of the trunk. Syringes should be placed in the main trunk of the tree and spaced evenly around the circumference of the trunk. Suitable for use with Chemjet tree injectors, Agmurf gun or hydraulic tree injections. DO NOT prune trees back before injections process as burning of the new growth may occur. DO NOT inject trees in winter months. DO NOT cut back the canopy of injected trees. DO NOT add anything other than water to Phosfusion 600 Fungicide for trunk injection. DO NOT inject more liquid in a lesser number of syringes than directed.

Solution concentrate: 165-200mL/100L Amount per unit: Spray to run-off 7.5 to 10L per adult tree.

1. Curative: Apply every 3 weeks until disease is under control.
2. Preventative: Apply every 5-6 weeks.

Two applications:

1. Later winter prior to flowering.
2. Autumn applied to mature fruit. Repeat application annually to maintain protection for the plant. Depending on condition at time of application use a non-ionic wetting agent in conjunction with Phosfusion 600 Fungicide.

Where disease incidence is higher or well established For effective control apply as a protectant before above ground symptoms of decline and Collar Rot become evident, spray trees for even coverage. DO NOT apply under high temperature (above 35°C) particularly if humidity is low or to moisture stressed trees.

Low Phytophthora pressure, well drained soil Removal of fruit from affected plants will enhance recovery.

Warning: Soft skin citrus trees may develop leaf burn and growth retardation following foliar application or soil drench of Potassium Phosphite at rates recommended for established trees.

Warning:

1. Foliar application to fruit may cause damage to fruit.
2. Soft skin citrus trees may develop leaf burn and growth retardation following foliar application or soil drench. Before applying Phosfusion 600 Fungicide for the first time a small test area should be sprayed and observed for at least 1 week.

Critical Comments

Use weekly spray intervals when conditions favour disease development. To avoid phytotoxicity with some plant species, it is recommended that Phosfusion 600 Fungicide be tested on a few plants of each species prior to the main application.

It is essential that the rate of Phosfusion 600 Fungicide is adjusted to the vine-row volume (i.e. the volume of vine foliage per hectare). An application of 500L/Ha is suggested at the start of the season, increasing to 2000L/Ha in a vigorous crop at full canopy. Spray timing is critical. For best results apply Phosfusion 600 Fungicide as a tank mix with protectant fungicides such as mancozeb/dithane, Copper Oxychloride etc to ensure both pre and post infection activity. Phosfusion 600 Fungicide should be applied at times of high disease risk, especially between the time that conditions are conducive to Downy Mildew infection and the appearance of oil spots. Ensure spray coverage is adequate and that the appropriate rate of Phosfusion 600 Fungicide is applied to match vine growth, particularly from mid season onwards, and especially where grapes are grown on root stock.

Apply at 4-6 weekly intervals when conditions favour disease development. To avoid phytotoxicity with some plant species, it is recommended that the product be tested on a few plants of each species prior to main application. DO NOT apply to ornamental plants under extremes of temperature. DO NOT apply when ornamental plants are dormant or stressed.

Apply to tops two (2) weeks prior to harvest of planting material.

Apply 8 to 9 days after first irrigation but before second irrigation. Apply in Autumn when Subterranean Clover is at the cotyledon to unifoliate leaf growth state.

Withholding Periods:

SUBTERRANEAN CLOVER: DO NOT GRAZE OR CUT FOR FOOD STOCK FOR 14 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION. CITRUS, CUCURBITS, AVOCADO, GRAPES, PINEAPPLES: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED.

General Instructions

For effective disease control a good leaf cover must be achieved before a widespread disease outbreak occurs.

Conditions Conducive to Downy Mildew Infection

1. Primary infection – Overnight conditions of: • Temperature 10°C • Rainfall 10mm • Soil wetness 24 hrs • Leaf wetness 3-4 hrs at the end of a 24 hrs period
2. Secondary infection – Overnight conditions of: • Temperature 11°C • Humidity 98% for at least 4 hrs from midnight to dawn • Leaf wetness 24 hrs To avoid resistant strains of Downy Mildew developing, Phosfusion 600 Fungicide should be applied as close as possible to the day of infection and alternated with other systemic fungicides.

Fungicide Resistance Warning

GROUP 33 FUNGICIDE For fungicide resistance management Phosfusion 600 Fungicide is a Group 33 Fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to Phosfusion 600 Fungicide and other Group 33 Fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungal population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by Phosfusion 600 Fungicide and other Group 33 Fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Nutrien Ag Solutions Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Phosfusion 600 Fungicide to control resistant fungi.

Mixing

Half fill spray vat with agitation system running, add the required amount of Phosfusion 600 Fungicide.

Compatibility

Compatible with Mancozeb/Dithane, Copper Oxychloride, Tilt¹, Bayleton¹ and most common Powdery Mildew fungicides. Most foliage nutrients are also compatible. When using in conjunction with “EC’s” always form an emulsion with water prior to adding Phosfusion 600 Fungicide.
