## How does Proplant work
• The leaf, stem and roots of the plant rapidly absorb Proplant and it thus quickly spreads throughout the plant with its systemic upward action giving a long effective residual.
• As a curative measure, Proplant attacks the cell membrane of mycelium, eliminates the fungi and prevents any new spores from germinating.
• As a preventative measure it protects the plant from any fungal infection that may or may not be visibly present.

## Ornamental Use

| SITUATION | Rate | Critical Comments |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| ORNAMENTAL* SEEDLINGS Seed Sowing | 1.5 mL in 1 litre of water | Apply 2 litres/square metre by watering can immediately after sowing. |
| Pricking – off seedlings | 1.5 mL in 1 litre of water | Apply 2 litres/square metre by watering can into boxes & pots and leave until soil mixture surface is dry enough to prick-off. |
| Treatment of cuttings | 15 mL in 10 litres of water | Dip cuttings in diluted mixture prior to planting. Apply 2 litres of diluted mixture per square metre of soil immediately after setting of cuttings and at intervals of 3 weeks thereafter. A total of 3 to 4 applications should be sufficient during the growing season. |
| Pot plants | 15 mL in 10 litres of water | Dip young plants prior to potting out. Apply 100 mL of diluted mixture per 100-110mm pots, 150 mL per 120- 130mm pot and repeat at intervals of 3 weeks thereafter. A total of 3 to 4 applications should be sufficient during the growing season. |
| Bulk soil treatment preventative | 250-300 mL in 10-20 litres of water per cubic metre of soil | Apply to bulk soil for use with pot plants. |

## Turf Use

| SITUATION | Rate | Critical Comments |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Recreational turf | 45-65 mL/100m² | Apply in sufficient water to obtain coverage. Use the lower rate as a preventative treatment. Use the higher rate as a curative or as a preventative treatment during times of high infection pressure. Repeat at 3-4 week intervals. |

## Proplant vs Standard Fungicide Control Against Pythium spp

[Chart: Line graph showing "Degree of Visible Symptoms" (Y-axis) vs "Days After Treatment" (X-axis). The graph compares "Proplant 65mL" (Blue line), "Proplant 45mL" (Pink line), and "Standard" (Yellow line). The chart shows Proplant symptoms ceasing within 3 days and remaining controlled for 24 days, whereas the standard fungicide requires a second application.]

This trial was conducted under severe disease pressure with symptoms already present. At the time there were 2 different standard fungicides used. The first application (yellow line) used Fosetyl present as the aluminium salt. This gave 7 days control until sypmtons started to appear again. The second (yellow line) standard fungicide (Metalaxyl-M) application was applied 24 days after the initial treatment. As you can see both standard fungicides gave control of the disease but 2 applications had to be made to keep control of the disease. With 1 application (Blue line), Proplant disease symptoms ceased within 3 days and controlled Pythium spp for 24 days after the initial application.

HENCE Proplant not only gives you better curative and preventative control of Pythium spp but also saves you time and money with no additional applications.

## Protecting Your New Seeds From Pythium - Why The Need?
The reason you need to protect your new seedlings is that pythium is a fungal disease that can wipe out your seeds very rapidly if not treated.

Proplant protects new seedlings from all pythium species (damping off) attack when it comes to oversowing for the new season or at the end of the season. These seedlings are young and hence more susceptible to the disease during these times.

We recommend at the very least 1 application of Proplant after seeding has taken place. If a subsequent application can be applied the chance of reinfection will be greatly minimised.
