Rovral Aquaflo Fungicide 5L – Broad-Spectrum Iprodione 500g/L for Botrytis & Fungal Disease

Rovral Aquaflo Fungicide 5L: Broad-Spectrum Iprodione 500g/L for Botrytis and Fungal Disease

Rovral Aquaflo is a broad-spectrum, water-based fungicide from FMC, developed for orchard application and post-harvest dipping across a wide range of crops. It contains 500g/L iprodione as a suspension concentrate and works by inhibiting the germination of fungal spores, which stops disease taking hold. It is widely used as a base fungicide for controlling botrytis (grey mould) and a number of other fungal diseases, offering protectant, post-infection and antisporulant activity. It is registered by the APVMA (approval no. 45725) for use in Australia.

The water-based Aquaflo formulation is a practical strength of the product. It mixes cleanly, is highly compatible in the tank, and its low-odour, water-based nature makes it especially suitable for fruit dipping and post-harvest use. Because iprodione controls a broad range of diseases across many crops, it is a versatile choice that helps simplify spray programs and inventory for growers managing several crops.

The 5L pack is a commercial-size fungicide suited to orchards, vineyards and larger horticultural operations. As with any agricultural chemical, it must be used strictly in line with its registered label for your crop and situation.

Registered Uses

Rovral Aquaflo is registered on a range of crops including almonds, apples, blueberries, grapes, lucerne and ornamentals, among others. The specific crops, diseases, rates, timing and withholding periods vary, so always check the current registered label for your crop and situation before use. Some additional uses may also be covered by APVMA off-label permits in certain states.

How to Use

Rovral Aquaflo must be applied strictly according to its APVMA-registered label. The correct rate, timing, water volume and number of applications depend on the crop and disease, so refer to the label rather than a general rate. Shake the container well, measure the labelled rate, add it to a part-filled, agitating spray tank and top up with water, keeping the agitation going. Apply for thorough, even coverage of the crop. Observe the withholding period on the label for each crop before harvest, and the re-entry period before workers return to treated areas.

Resistance Management

Iprodione is a Group 2 (dicarboximide) fungicide and has a moderate to high risk of resistance developing, particularly with botrytis. To protect the product's effectiveness:

• Do not rely on Group 2 fungicides alone or use them repeatedly in a program.

• Rotate with effective fungicides from other activity groups.

• Follow the maximum number of applications and all resistance-management instructions on the label.

• Overusing a single mode of action is the fastest way to breed resistant disease and lose control.

Safety and Responsible Use

• Read and follow the label and SDS. This is a registered agricultural chemical and must only be used as directed on its label.

• Wear appropriate PPE. Use the protective equipment specified on the label when mixing, loading and applying.

• Observe withholding and re-entry periods. Do not harvest or re-enter treated areas before the periods stated on the label.

• Protect waterways and non-target areas. Avoid spray drift and do not contaminate dams, rivers or drains.

• Store and dispose of it responsibly in line with the label directions.

• First aid / poisons. In case of poisoning, contact the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26, or a doctor.
