Product Information

Provanto Fungus Fighter Concentrate is a systemic fungicide that ensures your plants stay healthy and productive. The RHS believes that avoiding pests, diseases and weeds by good practice in cultivation methods, cultivar selection, garden hygiene and encouraging or introducing natural enemies, should be the first line of control. If chemical controls are used, they should be used only in a minimal and highly targeted manner. Non-chemical control

Asexual spores (conidia) of the g rey mouldfungus are always present in the air. They require leaf wetness or very high humidity to germinate and infect. Damaged or senescent plant parts are a very common way in which the fungus gains entry to the plant. The disease has a huge host range, and is active over a wide temperature range. The fungicide tebuconazole with trifloxystrobin (Provanto Fungus Fighter Plus, Toprose Fungus Control & Protect) has a recommendation for the control of leaf spots on ornamental plants. Additionally, the fungicides tebuconazole (Provanto Fungus Fighter Concentrate) and triticonazole (Fungus Clear Ultra) are labelled for the control of other diseases on ornamental plants, and could therefore be used legally on Cornus(at the owner’s risk) to try and control anthracnose. Spray the whole plant evenly until just before run-off (before drips start to form at the tips of leaves).Under certain environmental conditions some Stemphylium speciesare thought to be able to produce a sexual stage, and spores liberated from the fruiting bodies of the fungus in this scenario could account for the overwintering survival of the fungus and its long distance dissemination. Because most of the growth of powdery mildews is found on the plant surface they are easily targeted with fungicides. Then rinse sprayer thoroughly after use and dispose of washings safely by pouring onto bare soil. Once the bottle is empty, RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY before disposal by manually rinsing three times. This can be done by filling the dosing chamber with clean water, replacing the cap and tipping the water into the bottle. Repeat steps 1 – 4 above to add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of empty container safely.

Similar non-chemical control measures can help to prevent infection by leaf spot fungi, downy mildew and grey mould,which are all 'wet weather' diseases (see the 'biology' section, below): Further information on the management of downy mildews, powdery mildews and grey mould can be found in the advice profiles on the links below:Something else I like about Fungus Fighter Plus is that it’s safe to use around insects and other beneficial organisms, making it a safe choice that won’t disrupt your garden’s ecosystem. Fungus Fighter: at a glance Pour liquid from the dosing chamber into the sprayer and make up to 1 litre with water. This will treat a lawn area of up to 20m² Occasionally, overwintering resting spores are produced by antirrhinum rust, but these are relatively unimportant and the fungusprincipally survives from one year to the next on infected plants. Under favourable, wet conditions the disease can build up rapidly and is often unnoticed in the early stages because it usually starts on the lower leaves. Like many rusts, the full life cycle requires alternation between two unrelated plant hosts, but in Europe only the stages on antirrhinums occur. Stemphyliumsp. causessmall, dark brown or purple spots on the leaves. The spots do not merge together, nor enlarge in size. The centre of the lesion can sometimesbecome pale in colour. The infected leaves shrivel prematurely and can either remain on the plant or drop off.
