Solitaire 240 ME Fungicide (Metalaxyl-M)

Tips For Use

Restraints: 

• Do not apply more than four (4) sprays per season.
• Do not apply this product as a post-infection curative spray on crops, as this will favour the development of resistant disease strains.

Mixing:

• Add the required amount of product to the spray tank and mix well. 
• ProForce Solitare 240 ME Fungicide is a microemulsion (ME) with minimal odour because the product does not contain petroleum solvents. 
• Solitare 240 ME Fungicide mixes completely with water and maybe tank mixed with many commonly used fungicides and liquid fertilisers.

Compatibility:

• Solitare 240 ME Fungicide is compatible with propiconazole, azoxystrobin/propiconazole, azoxystrobin and trinexapac-ethyl.

Application:

• Ensure even application to achieve even disease control. 
• Avoid overlapping sprays.
• Leaf and Crown Diseases: 
• Application volume for leaf and crown infecting diseases (Pythium Leaf Blight) should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage of the turf leaves and penetration to the crowns. 
• The ideal application volume should be 350 to 500 L/ha. Example: For best results, use medium [e.g. XR Teejet* (11004 or 10005)] to coarse [e.g. Turbo Teejet* or AIXR Teejet* (11004 or 11005)] nozzles at 5 km/h and 3 bar pressure.
• In higher-cut turf (>=15 mm), a significant spray shielding effect can occur, negatively impacting spray penetration and even coverage at low application volumes.

Root Diseases: 

• Application volumes for root infecting diseases (Pythium Root Rot and Seedling Damping Off) should be as high as possible (approximately 1000 L/ha) to ensure placement close to the soil surface. 
• When lower application volumes are used, washing in should commence soon after application. Example: For best results, use extremely coarse droplets [e.g. Turbo Floodjet (TFS) or TurfJet (TTJ1O)] and a total application volume of approximately 1000 L/ha. 
• Preferably spray onto wet or dewy grass.
• Irrigate with 6 to 10 mm of water commencing within 1 hour of application.

• Re-entry period – Do not allow entry into treated areas until the spray has dried.
• Protection Of Livestock:
• Do not graze treated turf or lawn or feed turf or lawn clippings from any treated area to poultry or livestock.
