Physicochemical properties: Ditan F is formulated as water-dispersible, homogeneous, white, self-dispersible granules with a characteristic odor. Non-flammable, non-explosive, non-oxidizing.
Mode of action: Ditan F is a contact fungicide with preventive and curative effect on fungi that cause mange, rots, leaf spotting. The product prevents pathogen development by inhibiting cell division. It adheres very well to leaves and is hardly washed off by rain or irrigation water. Duration of protection depends on infection pressure and weather conditions, and is between 7 and 14 days after application. Its multi-site action prevents the emergence of resistant forms of pathogens, making it a very good partner in mixtures with systemic fungicides.
DIRECTION OF USE: Grapevine - 0.9 kg/ha up to early flowering or 1.8 kg/ha after early flowering - for powdery mildew (Plasmopara viticola), gray rot (Botrytis cinerea), rot (Aspergillus spp.), green-blue mold (Penicillium spp.), grapevine excortiosis (Phomopsis viticola), black rot (Guignardia spp.), white grape rot (Coniella spp.). Break to harvest: 28 days
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: On grapevines, Ditan F can be applied 1-8 times as a preventive measure; the first application at bunch bud break and the other 7 applications from the beginning of flowering until the bud burst. The interval between applications can be 10-14 days. In critical infection phases (frequent rainfall and hot weather), it is recommended to combine the product with a systemic fungicide specific to the pathogen targeted for control.
APPLICATION TECHNIQUE: Ditan F may be applied foliar with all conventional spraying equipment, including tractor attached, mounted or self-propelled equipment, adjusted and calibrated according to the manufacturer's instructions for use. Recommended solution volume is 400-1000 L/ha (max. 500 L/ha up to the beginning of flowering and max. up to 1000 L/ha after the beginning of flowering). Apply carefully near water so that the product does not contaminate it. The working width of the applicators shall be carefully adjusted and known. When the work is finished, the machines must be emptied and cleaned in the field of debris or traces of product.
COMPATIBILITY: The product is compatible with most plant protection products except strongly alkaline. A compatibility test is recommended before use.
CULT SELELECTIVITY/ TOLERANCE: Does not impose restrictions on the choice of the following crop. No product-related restrictions on waiting time until the next crop is established.
