Switch Fungicide for Crops and Plants (1kg)

Switch containing cyprodinil and fludioxonil is best used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of diseases such as Botrytis. It can be used on a wide range of edible crops as well as in ornamental plant production and forestry nursery.

Key points:

• Different active ingredients fludioxonil and cyprodinil give this fungicide different modes of action that offer consistent control of Botrytis
• Switch lowers laccase levels in wine and grapes and improves wine quality
• Offers high level control of Glomerella and the bunch rot complex (Aspergillus, Rhizopus, Cladosporium, & Alternaria) on grapes, Monilinia and Stemphylium on fruit, and Sclerotinia and Ascochyta on vegetables
• Can be used as part of a programme of sprays
• Rain fast in one hour
• MAPP No: 15129
• Pack size: 1kg

Other diseases that Switch fungicide controls are listed below.

Note:

To maintain a high level of protection, and to prevent or limit the development of Botrytis strains less sensitive to the product, applications of SWITCH should not be made consecutively but should be used in alternation with fungicides with different modes of action, with satisfactory efficacy against the pathogen.

For use on fresh beans (green, runner, broad), dried beans (dwarf French bean, navy bean [phaseolus], kidney beans, haricot beans, dried broad beans), vining pea and edible podded pea, dried peas (combining peas including marrowfat), carrots, celeriac, protected and outdoor strawberry, protected and outdoor raspberry and blackberry, outdoor crops of blueberry, bilberry, cranberry, redcurrant, blackcurrant, white currant, gooseberry, top fruit (apple, pear, quince, crab apple) and outdoor and protected ornamental plant production and forestry nursery.
