Antracol Fungicide Uses — What Does It Control?

Bayer Antracol Fungicide Dose Per Litre — Crop-Wise Recommended Dose:

Apply Bayer Antracol fungicide preventively before disease appears or at the very first sign of infection for the best results. Mix in 200 litres of clean water per acre for foliar spray.

How to Use Bayer Antracol Fungicide:

1. Measure the required dose of Bayer Antracol as per the crop-wise dose table above.

2. Pre-mix the measured quantity in a small amount of clean water to form a smooth slurry before adding to the sprayer tank.

3. Fill the tank with the remaining clean water and mix thoroughly before spraying.

4. Spray evenly on all plant parts, upper and lower leaf surfaces, stems, and fruit zones, for a complete and uniform protective coat.

5. Apply preventively before disease appears — especially during periods of high humidity, overcast skies, and moderate temperatures when fungal diseases develop fastest.

6. Apply during early morning or late evening; avoid spraying during midday heat or when rain is expected within 3–4 hours of application.

7. Repeat every 7–14 days depending on crop type and disease pressure during the peak infection season.

8. Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after every use.

Best Time to Apply:

Apply Antracol fungicide in the early morning or late evening. Start preventive sprays before disease symptoms appear — during the first signs of humid or overcast weather that favour fungal infection. Early and consistent protective spraying gives far better results than curative application after disease is already established.

Frequency of Application & Re-Entry Period:

• Frequency of Application: Apply every 7–14 days during peak disease pressure. Do not exceed 4–5 applications per season with Bayer Antracol as a standalone product. Rotate with systemic fungicides from different FRAC groups for comprehensive disease management across the full crop cycle.

• Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.

• Tank-Mix Compatibility: Bayer Antracol fungicide is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar products.

Safety Precautions & Handling:

• Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Bayer Antracol fungicide.

• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.

• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes; rinse immediately with clean water for 15 minutes if contact occurs.

• Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields for at least 24 hours.

• Wash all exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after every spray session.

• Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of per local waste guidelines.
