APVMA Reg. No: 30487
For use on: Cut flower and ornamental bulb production (nursery)
Target Disease
Controls damping-off caused by Pythium spp. in seed beds, seedlings, propagated cuttings and container soil used for cut-flower and ornamental-bulb production. The current APVMA label (2023 variation) no longer includes recreational turf or general pot-plant/eucalyptus nursery uses – refer to the current registered label for the approved plant species list.
Application Instructions (current label)
Seed growing (cut flowers, ornamental bulbs): Use 1.5 mL in 1 L water (15 mL in 10 L). Apply 2 L of mixed solution per square metre immediately after sowing and covering.
Pricking-off seedlings: Use 1.5 mL in 1 L water. Apply 2 L of mixed solution per square metre to boxes and pots and leave until the surface is dry enough to prick off.
Treatment of propagated cuttings: Use 1.5 mL in 1 L water. Dip cuttings in mixed solution prior to planting, then apply 2 L per square metre immediately after setting and at 3-week intervals; 3 to 4 applications during the growing season should be sufficient.
Bulk soil treatment (container-grown cut flowers): 250–300 mL in 10–20 L water per cubic metre of soil/potting mix as a preventative treatment.
Mixing
This product is completely soluble in water – add the concentrate to the water and stir thoroughly. The mixture is stable and can be used the following day. Refer to the current registered label.
Always read the current registered product label before use. Dose rates and withholding periods on this page are provided as a guide only.

Resistance Management
Previcur Fungicide is a Group 28 fungicide (carbamate group). Some naturally occurring fungal populations resistant to Previcur and other Group 28 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability. Resistant individuals can eventually dominate the population if these fungicides are used repeatedly, resulting in reduced efficacy. Rotate with fungicides from other groups.
Crop Safety
Previcur has displayed a wide range of safety to ornamental flowers and cut-flower and bulb crops. However, if it is used repeatedly at short intervals or at increased concentration, slight necrotic tipping of the cotyledons or of advanced leaves may occur.
Environmental Protection
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways with product or used containers.
Always read the label and follow directions for use. The registered label is the legal document governing use of this product.
