Whatever i know: 2013

The list for agrochemicals to be used in grape farms is out.
As compared to last year around 2 chemical compunds have been added to the list making the list to 177.
Chemicals with CIB & RC label claim for Grapes though remaining same as last year. Along with PHI special instructions for some compounds has been mentioned about spray schedule Do's and Dont's.

Note

· All the doses mentioned above are for high volume sprayers, where normal spray volume is 1000

L/ha. Spray volume can however be changed as per the efficiency of sprayers used. However, the

amount of each pesticide based on its active ingredient recommended for 1 ha area on the basis of 1000 L spray solution should be strictly maintained to minimize pesticide residues.

· Recommended PHI will be valid only if two applications of an agrochemical are given per fruiting season at the interval of 7-15 days at recommended dose except in case of Flusilazole, Methomyl and Fipronil where not more than one application per season should be given.

The PHI of the fungicide Flusilazole and insecticide Methomyl pertains to one application by foliar spray only.

· Imidacloprid (17.8 SL) application (spraying or soil drenching) should not exceed more than two times per fruiting season.

· The responsibility of usage of chemicals for the management of any of the above pests and diseases will rest with the growers in compliance with the requirements of the importers / EU and, in the minimum; all chemicals listed in Annexure 9 should be tested.
