How to get the best results from Bumper 625 EC Fungicide

For foliar based turf diseases:

• Spray when conditions are warm and humid. Re-apply treatments at 14-28 day intervals if conditions continue to favour disease development.
• Use rates towards the lower end of the range as a preventative program and against light infection.
• Use rates towards the higher end of the range and shorter intervals as a preventative or curative treatment when conditions are highly favourable for disease activity.

For Spring Dead Spot:

• Apply Bumper 625 EC Fungicide as a soil drench and water in immediately, ensuring thorough movement into the rootzone.
• Spray in January to March, after renovation and recovery of active growth.
• Make a second application one month later where infection is severe. It is best not to renovate treated greens until active growth has recommenced in Spring.
• DO NOT spray in the Spring/Summer period prior to renovation. Bumper 625 EC Fungicide may cause bleaching of the grass after application in late Summer/Autumn and also produce a greening effect in the following Spring.
• Couch may be slow to recommence active growth in the Spring, particularly in cooler regions. These effects should be allowed to grow out before treating again.
