Powdery mildew

Gray mold	4 or more	14 days	9.7-14.4 fl oz 	Start application at the 3rd
leaf-growth stage and continue with successive applications until the
end of flowering. During this sensitive period for wood diseases,
VacciPlant enhances the resistance to Esca and Eutypa lata, but also to
downy mildew, powdery mildew and gray mold.

Apple/pear	Fire blight	2 - 6	10 days	9.7-14.4 fl oz 	Use VacciPlant on
orchards in moderate disease risk situations. Start when green buds are
formed.

After flowering, additional spraying can be made if weather conditions
are favorable for disease development.

Strawberry	Gray mold	1 - 6	10 days	9.7-14.4 fl oz 	Start applications at
the beginning of flowering, then continue with successive applications
until harvest. In case of weather conditions favorable to disease
development (high humidity, temperature greater than 68°F), apply an
appropriate fungicide.

	Powdery mildew	1 - 10

	Start VacciPlant applications preventively, when weather conditions
become favorable for disease development. When the first symptoms occur,
apply an appropriate fungicide. 

Then :

if the new leaves or new fruit are free of any symptoms, repeat the
VacciPlant applications.

if the new leaves or new fruit show symptoms again, repeat fungicide
applications until new growth is free of any symptoms.

COMPATIBILITY

VacciPlant is compatible with many commonly used crop protection
products, but has not been fully evaluated with all. Tank-mix
compatibility should be evaluated prior to use. Apply to a small area of
the crop to ensure there are no phytotoxic effects. Contact your
VacciPlant technical service representative for additional details.

VacciPlant acts early against specified plant diseases inducing natural
defense reactions.

VacciPlant induces systemic resistance, which allows protection during
growth.
