Application rates and timing
Application Guidance: Apply at the onset of pest presence under low pressure. Ensure good spray coverage. Under high pest pressure, consider alternation or mixing with other insecticide products.
Soil application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| All crops | Soil application (mulch); timing is not further specified in the datasheet. | 5-10 L/ha | Objective: diseases affecting the neck and roots. |
Foliar application
| Crops | Timing | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Table and wine grapes, potatoes | Start under favourable environmental conditions for disease development; 2-6 applications every 7 days during cultivation. | 5-10 cc/L | Objective: mildew. |
| Vegetables, fruit trees and vineyards | Start under favourable environmental conditions for disease development; 2-6 applications every 7 days during cultivation. | 5-10 cc/L | Objective: powdery mildew. |
| Fruit trees, leafy vegetables and fruit vegetables | Start under favourable environmental conditions for disease development; 2-6 applications every 7 days during cultivation. | 5-10 cc/L | Objective: Alternaria and early blight. |
| Apple, plum, peach and cherry trees | Start under favourable environmental conditions for disease development; 2-6 applications every 7 days during cultivation. | 5-10 cc/L | Objectives: Botrytis, Monilia and post-harvest diseases. |
| Not specified in datasheet | Start under favourable environmental conditions for disease development; 2-6 applications every 7 days during cultivation. | 5-10 cc/L | Objective: scab or mottled. The crop column is shown as dashes in the source. |
| Fruit trees, horticultural crops, leafy vegetables and fruit crops | Apply when favourable conditions for pest development occur and in the presence of the pest; 1-5 applications every 7 days during the crop. | 5-10 cc/L | Objectives: aphids, lepidoptera, mites and codling moth. |
Additional technical information
Target problem / deficiency symptoms
Aphids, moths, codling moths, red spider mites and fungal problems including Alternaria, powdery mildew, mould, peronospora, Botrytis and Monilia, as documented in the datasheet.
Mixing & compatibility
Under high pest pressure, the datasheet recommends considering alternation or mixing with other insecticide products. Add URZICA to the spray tank first, then complete filling while maintaining agitation.
