FAQ
What is Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG and how does it work?
Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG is a
broad-spectrum fungicide that belongs to the strobilurin chemical group. It works by
inhibiting the mitochondrial respiration and energy production in fungal cells, leading to
their death. This mode of action makes it highly effective against a wide range of fungal
diseases on various crops.
What are some of the key benefits of using Kresoxim-methyl
50% WDG?
Some key benefits of using Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG include its excellent
preventive and curative action against fungal diseases, its long-lasting protection due to
systemic uptake by plants, its rainfastness, and its compatibility with integrated pest
management practices. Additionally, it has a low risk of resistance development in target
fungi.
Which crops can Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG be used on?
Kresoxim-methyl
50% WDG can be used on a wide range of crops including cereals, fruits, vegetables,
ornamentals, and other crops susceptible to fungal diseases. It is particularly effective
against diseases like powdery mildew, rusts, and leaf spots.
How should
Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG be applied for optimal results?
Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG
should be applied preventatively before the onset of disease or at the first signs of
infection. It is recommended to mix the required amount of product with water according to
the label instructions and apply it using suitable spraying equipment. Repeat applications
as needed based on the crop, disease pressure, and weather conditions.
Is
Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG safe for the environment and non-target organisms?
Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG has a favorable environmental profile with low toxicity to
non-target organisms and minimal impact on beneficial insects, birds, and aquatic organisms.
It has a short residual life in the environment, reducing the risk of accumulation in soil
or water bodies.
Are there any precautions to take when using Kresoxim-methyl 50%
WDG?
It is important to follow all safety instructions and use personal protective
equipment when handling and applying Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG. Avoid contact with skin, eyes,
or clothing, and wash thoroughly after handling. Keep the product out of reach of children
and pets.
Can Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG be tank-mixed with other pesticides?
Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG is compatible with a wide range of commonly used pesticides,
fertilizers, and adjuvants. However, it is recommended to conduct a small-scale
compatibility test before tank-mixing with other products to ensure there are no adverse
effects on efficacy.
What is the recommended storage and handling procedure for
Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG?
Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG should be stored in a cool, dry,
and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat, and open flame. Keep the product
in its original container with the lid tightly closed and out of reach of children and pets.
Properly dispose of any leftover product or empty containers according to local
regulations.
How soon after application can the harvest of treated crops be done?
The pre-harvest interval (PHI) for crops treated with Kresoxim-methyl 50% WDG varies
depending on the crop and disease being targeted. It is important to consult the product
label for specific instructions on the PHI for each crop to ensure compliance with
regulations and food safety standards.
