Polar 50 WSG – 500G

Polar 50 WSG

Polar 50 WSG (Water-Soluble Granule) is a specialized fungicide formulated for the effective control of powdery mildew and Botrytis, particularly in greenhouse environments where roses and other non-edible ornamental crops are cultivated. This fungicide is designed for restricted use, ensuring it is applied under controlled conditions by professional horticulturists or individuals trained in its use.

Active Ingredient

The active ingredient in Polar 50 WSG is Cyflufenamid, a fungicide known for its efficacy against a range of fungal pathogens, especially powdery mildew and Botrytis cinerea (grey mold). Cyflufenamid operates by inhibiting the development of the fungal mycelium and preventing spore germination, thereby controlling the spread and impact of these diseases on ornamental plants like roses.

Application Guidelines

• Powdery Mildew: Apply Polar 50 WSG at a rate of 0.1-0.2 grams per liter of water. This concentration should provide adequate coverage and protection against the fungal spores responsible for powdery mildew.
• Botrytis: For controlling Botrytis, use a slightly higher concentration, typically around 0.15-0.3 grams per liter of water. This helps in managing the aggressive nature of Botrytis, particularly in high humidity environments like greenhouses.
• Ensure the sprayer tank is clean and fill it halfway with clean water.
• Add the appropriate amount of Polar 50 WSG based on the desired concentration.
• Agitate the mixture thoroughly to ensure the granules are completely dissolved and uniformly dispersed.
• Fill the tank with the remaining water while maintaining agitation to ensure a consistent mix throughout the application process.
• For optimal results, apply Polar 50 WSG at the first sign of disease. Early intervention can significantly reduce the severity of infection and prevent the spread to healthy plants.
• Reapply every 7-14 days depending on the severity of the infestation and environmental conditions. In periods of high humidity or rapid fungal growth, more frequent applications may be necessary.
• Ensure thorough coverage of all plant surfaces, including the undersides of leaves, where fungal spores often thrive.
• Use a fine mist spray to maximize adherence to plant surfaces and improve overall efficacy.

Safety and Restrictions

• Polar 50 WSG is restricted for use in greenhouses on non-edible crops. It is not intended for use on plants grown for human consumption.
• Users must follow all local regulations and guidelines pertaining to the application of restricted-use pesticides.
• Applicators should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and protective clothing, to prevent skin and eye contact.
• Ensure adequate ventilation in the greenhouse during and after application to avoid inhalation of any airborne particles.
• Avoid application near water sources to prevent potential contamination.
• Follow proper disposal procedures for any unused product or empty containers to minimize environmental impact.

Benefits of Using Polar 50 WSG

• Provides robust protection against powdery mildew and Botrytis, two common and destructive diseases in rose cultivation.
• Offers long-lasting protection, reducing the frequency of applications needed.
• The water-soluble granule formulation ensures easy mixing and precise application, enhancing user convenience.
