Ornamentals
Spray foliage thoroughly for good coverage. Re-application rates and intervals can vary according to disease severity and adversity of environmental conditions. Lower rates may be as effective as higher rates and should be tried first. Routine preventive programs may be maintained using lower rates.
Use of low volume equipment is effective against Botrytis but may not be effective against established Powdery mildew and/or Xanthomonas infections.
Applications on actively growing tissues may be more effective than applications on dormant tissues.
