Tips for Best Results
- Apply protectively: Both actives work best when applied before disease pressure builds, especially ahead of wet or humid weather typical of Queensland summers.
- Thorough coverage is essential: Adjust spray volume and nozzle selection to suit canopy density so all leaf, flower and fruit/nut surfaces are covered.
- Resistance management: Custodia Forte combines a Group 3 (DMI) and a Group 11 (QoI) fungicide. Do not exceed the label maximum number of applications per season, alternate with fungicides from other groups, and follow the CropLife Australia resistance-management strategies for Group 3 and Group 11 fungicides.
- Observe application restraints: Do not apply by aircraft or boom sprayer; observe the label withholding periods for grapes (4 weeks) and macadamias (15 days).
- Handling precautions: Wear appropriate PPE including gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing when mixing and applying. Store in a cool, dry, locked facility away from children, livestock feed, and water sources.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
