How Does Mycotal Work?
After spraying Mycotal, the spores germinate and grow to hyphae that penetrate the pest's body cavity. Here they proliferate and destroy the tissues. The fungus then grows through the insect cuticle and produces spores on the outside of the cadaver, which may spread the infection to other vulnerable pests. Mycotal is effective through direct contact, and under the right environmental conditions, kills the target after 7-10 days.
Visual effect: Infested insects shrivel, or in humid conditions, develop a fluffly mycelium outside the insect.
Application Mycotal
Preparation
- Take the required amount of Mycotal
- For optimal effectiveness combine with an adjuvant like Addit or Squad.
- Mix with 3-4 litres of water (15-20°C) per 500 gram of Mycotal and stir into a slurry.
- Fill the spray tank with the required amount of water.
- Empty the slurry into the spray tank and stir thoroughly
- Add the correct amount of adjuvant to the Mycotal spray solution and miz thoroughly
- Spray immediately after preparation
Application
Mycotal can be sprayed on the plants or applied via Low Volume Misting (LIV)
Application via spraying:
- Mycotal can be applied with regular high volume spray equipment
- Spray until runoff
- Thorough leaf coverage is essential for best results. Direct the spray onto the underside of the leaves and to growing points
- Make sure to keep stirring the spray solution during application
- For optimal results repeat the Mycotal treatment, at the specified interval, to target new juvenile stages as they emerge and break the pest life cycle.
Application via LVM (Low Volume Misting):
- Mycotal can be applied with all regular LVM systems
- Thorough leaf coverage is essential for the best results. Use enough water to LVM the product (>50 ltr/ha), add a compatible carrier agent, and apply on a windless day (<3 m/s)
- Keep the ventilation windows closed during application. It is recommended to use fans to improve the ditstibution
- Make sure to keep stirring the spray solution during application
- For optimal results repeat the Mycotal treatment, at the specified interval, to target new juvenile stages as they emerge and break the pest life cycle.
