A systemic fungicide for maximum prevention and control of Downy Mildew and Phytophthora diseases.
What does it do?
A liquid systemic fungicide combining mono and dipotassium Phosphonates for maximum prevention and control of Downy Mildew and Phytophthora diseases.
• Provides effective control on a wide range of crops
• Formulated from a non-toxic potassium phosphite base
• All diseased parts of the plant are effectively controlled using a systemic action providing complete translocation through their vascular system.
• Compatibility with a wide range of other agricultural chemicals, reducing the number of spray applications needed.
• AgroBest has the highest concentration, which reduces the product quantity required and saves on packaging requirements, saving you time and money.
• APVMA APPROVAL NO. 66655/54106
How Does it Work?
Phozguard 620 is readily absorbed by the plant and translocated through the plant’s vascular system to all parts of the plant, ensuring effective disease control. Directly produces fungi toxins to manage pathogens and enhance the immune system of the plant, which makes it capable of fighting diseases on its own.
Mode of Action
Phosphite, a biodegradable fungicide, used for disease invasion and prevention:
1. Phosphites trigger molecular reactions within the plant cell
2. Activates plants’ immune system and defence mechanism
3. Suppressors spore formation
4. Recognition of disease by plant cell
5. Phosphite encourages defensive molecules, such as phytoalexins, to attack the disease directly; and
6. The plant’s self-defence mechanism alerts the rest of the plant to start producing other compounds increasing plant resistance to infection or attack by other pathogens
7. These responses are called systemic required resistance (SAR) and induced resistance (IR)
The disease is controlled or killed by the plant’s response.

Chemical Schedule: S5
APVMA Reg. No: 66655
For use on: Plants
Not required for avocados, citrus, cucurbits, grapes and pineapples. Poppies: do not harvest for 6 weeks after application. Subterranean clover: do not graze or cut for stock food for 14 days after application.
Always read the current registered product label before use. Withholding periods must be observed before slaughter, milking, or egg collection. The label supplied with the product is the legal document and takes precedence. If in doubt, contact TGRM on (07) 5482 1692 or the manufacturer directly.
Phozguard 620 is applied at crop-specific label rates – never at a 1:10 dilution. Examples: avocados 160–190 mL per 100 L as a foliar spray (every 3 weeks curative, 5–6 weeks preventative), or trunk injection at 2.4–4.9 mL per metre of canopy diameter (use only water as diluent for injection); young citrus 165–320 mL/100 L, mature citrus 7.8–13 L/ha; grapes 1.9–3.9 L/ha (do not apply after E-L 33); cucurbits 2.9 L/ha; pineapples 3.9 L/ha; poppies 1.9 L/ha (maximum 2 sprays per crop); ornamentals 1.6–3 mL per litre. Apply with thorough coverage as a protectant before symptoms appear or at the intervals stated on the label. Withholding periods: not required for avocados, citrus, cucurbits, grapes and pineapples; poppies 6 weeks; subterranean clover – do not graze or cut for stock food for 14 days. Refer to the registered label for the full crop table.

Common Questions
What diseases does Phozguard 620 control?
Phozguard 620 is a systemic fungicide formulated to prevent and control Downy Mildew and Phytophthora diseases across a wide range of crops.
How does Phozguard 620 work?
Phozguard 620 is absorbed by the plant and moves through its vascular system to all parts of the plant. It works by triggering the plant's natural immune and defence mechanisms, helping the plant recognise and fight the disease itself through systemic acquired resistance.
What is Phozguard 620 made from?
Phozguard 620 is a liquid systemic fungicide formulated from a non-toxic potassium phosphite base, combining mono and dipotassium Phosphonates.
Can I mix Phozguard 620 with other chemicals?
Phozguard 620 is compatible with a wide range of other agricultural chemicals, which can help reduce the number of separate spray applications needed. Always refer to the product label and an agronomist before mixing with other products to ensure compatibility and safe use.
