Pythium Damping-Off Protection

Previcur is designed to protect plants from Pythium damping-off, a disease that can cause young seedlings to collapse and die. Its systemic activity allows the active ingredient to be taken up by the plant, making it useful as part of a preventative protection program.

The Australian label includes applications for seed growing, pricking-off seedlings, cuttings, pot plants, bulk soil treatment and recreational turf.

Previcur Fungicide Mixing Ratio

For seed-growing applications, the Australian label specifies 1.5mL of Previcur per 1L of water, with the prepared solution applied at 2L per square metre. Other applications have different rates, so the appropriate rate should always be selected according to the crop or situation listed on the current label.

For recreational turf, the label specifies 45–65mL per 100m², with the lower rate used preventatively and the higher rate used for curative treatment or during periods of high infection pressure.

Application & Important Notes

Previcur can be applied using a watering can, injection equipment or suitable high-volume ground spraying equipment. The product is completely soluble in water and should be thoroughly mixed before application.

Always follow the current Australian label for the correct application rate, plant species, timing and safety requirements. Avoid breathing spray mist and wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves and eye protection during handling and application.
