Chipco Green meets Knapsack criteria

Chipco Green is only contact fungicide with Knapsack approval

By Nick Harden

Chipco Green, from Bayer environmental Science, is the only contact fungicide on the market that, unlike any Chlorothalonil based brands, has approval for application via Knapsack sprayers.

Knapsack calibration is covered on Bayer Environmental Science's unique 'Sprayer Calibration Procedures and Calculator' CD, which is available free of charge by faxing 01992 784276 or emailing john.hall1@bayercropscience.com.The calibration product is also available on line via the company's website www.bayer-escience.co.uk.

The CD provides comprehensive information on product volume required, actual water volume achieved and the number of tanks needed to treat the target area. Variations including walking speed, swath width and knapsack tank size can be input.

Knapsack application is ideal for smaller areas and for those where the use of wheeled machinery is restricted or kept to a minimum, such as on golf greens.

A contact fungicide, Chipco Green has curative and preventative action against a range of turf diseases, with the added benefit of being extremely rainfast.

Chipco Green is recommended for use as a partner for Mildothane Turf Liquid for all year-round disease control. By using both these fungicides, you are combining two actives, with two modes of action in a strategy to avoid possible fungicide resistance.
