Proceb

Reliable Protection for Orchards and Vegetable Crops

When it comes to controlling fungal diseases such as late blight, alternaria, or scab, having a proven contact fungicide is essential. «Proceb» by UPL Holding Coöperatief U.A. is a classic solution that has proven its effectiveness through years of field experience. The active ingredient, mancozeb, forms a protective barrier on the leaf surface, preventing pathogens from penetrating the plant tissue.

Application and Dosage Insights

The flexibility of this product is particularly valuable for professional growers. On my farm, it serves as a staple protection tool for apple trees, pears, potatoes, tomatoes, and grapes. Since it is a contact fungicide, thorough coverage is vital, so ensuring your sprayer is calibrated correctly is the first step to success.

• Application rate: For most crops, 1.0–2.0 L/ha is sufficient; however, under high disease pressure, increasing the dose to 2.0–3.0 L/ha is recommended.
• Treatment frequency: Up to 5 applications per season are permitted, allowing you to protect the crop during critical growth stages.
• Pre-harvest interval (PHI): A 14-day window before harvest is standard, which helps in planning field operations effectively.

Practical Operational Tips

The aqueous emulsion formulation is convenient as it mixes easily with water and does not clog sprayer nozzles. It is crucial to remember the 2nd class hazard rating: handling this fungicide requires appropriate personal protective equipment for both skin and respiratory protection. I always advise spraying during early morning or evening hours when wind speeds are low to ensure the most uniform droplet distribution across the leaf canopy. «Proceb» does not induce pathogen resistance, making it a reliable solution for anti-resistance management strategies year after year.
