Phozguard 620 Fungicide 20L

PHOZGUARD 620 Fungicide is a 20 L pack of a systemic fungicide with 620 g/L phosphorous (phosphonic) acid as mono and di potassium phosphite (Group 33, APVMA 66655). The label lists root rot in avocado and subterranean clover, root and collar rot in citrus, root and crown rot in ornamentals, root and heart rot in pineapples, and downy mildew in grapes, poppies and cucurbits. Lawn, turf and vegetables other than cucurbits are not listed.

Where the label has limits. For ornamentals the label gives 1.6 mL per litre by boom or knapsack at 4 to 6 week intervals, and says not to apply to ornamentals that are dormant, stressed or under extremes of temperature, and to test a few plants of each species first. Young container-grown mandarins can show leaf burn. Do not apply at volumes that cause excessive run-off, and for foliar sprays direct the mix only onto the target plant.

Harvest and grazing. Not required for avocados, citrus, cucurbits, grapes and pineapples when used as directed. Do not harvest poppies for 6 weeks, and do not graze or cut subterranean clover for stock food for 14 days.

Waterways. Harmful to fish. Do not spray over watercourses or onto native plants, and do not contaminate streams, rivers or watercourses with the chemical or used containers.

How to use it. Rates depend on the crop, disease and method. See the Application Rates tab, our mixing guide and the full label before mixing (the label we hold lists AgroBest Australia as the supplier).

Before you buy. The label says it may irritate the eyes and skin and not to inhale spray mist. It asks for cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, elbow-length PVC gloves, goggles and a disposable face mask. If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26.
