Bayer Antracol Fungicide Spray 1kg

Bayer Antracol Fungicide Spray is a broad-spectrum, contact fungicide formulated with 700g/kg propineb for the control of a range of fungal diseases affecting vegetables, potatoes, tomatoes, citrus and other crops. It is supplied as a wettable powder and is designed to provide protective disease control when applied with thorough coverage.

Antracol also provides plant-available zinc and has a multi-site mode of action, making it a useful option as part of a preventative crop disease management program. The product is not systemic or translocated through the plant, so thorough spray coverage of the target foliage is important.

How Antracol Fungicide Works

Antracol is a contact fungicide, meaning it remains on the plant surface rather than moving systemically through the plant. For this reason, achieving thorough coverage of the foliage is important when applying the product.

Its multi-site mode of action provides a different approach to disease management compared with fungicides that act at a single site within fungal development. Bayer also identifies Antracol as an important source of plant-available zinc.

How to Use Antracol Fungicide

Always read and follow the current Australian product label before mixing or applying Antracol.

For registered crop applications, the label provides crop-specific rates and application directions. As an example, the registered rate for potatoes and tomatoes for target spot and late blight is 200g per 100L of water, with applications made when conditions favour disease and repeated at the label-specified interval.

Because Antracol is a contact fungicide, apply sufficient spray volume to achieve thorough coverage of the foliage. Application timing and withholding periods vary according to the crop and disease being treated, so the relevant label directions should always be followed.

Important Application Notes

• Use only on crops and diseases listed on the current Australian label.

• Follow the specified crop rate and application interval.

• Ensure thorough coverage of foliage.

• Apply preventatively or when conditions favour disease according to the label.

• Do not assume one dilution rate applies to every crop.

• Check the relevant withholding period before harvesting treated produce.

• Always read the product label and safety directions before use.
