How to Use FMC Centaurus Fungicide:
Shake the Centaurus bottle well before opening to mix the active ingredients evenly.
Wear gloves and a face mask before measuring the product.
Measure the right quantity using a marked cup or syringe.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and pour in the measured product slowly.
Add the remaining water and stir until the solution looks uniform.
Use a fine-mist or hollow-cone nozzle for proper coverage.
Spray during calm weather, covering both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Use 150 to 200 litres of water per acre for full canopy coverage.
Best Time to Apply:
The best time to use FMC Centaurus Fungicide is at the preventive stage — before disease symptoms appear or as soon as the first few spots show up on leaves. Late afternoon or early evening is the best spraying window, as leaf temperature is cooler and product absorption is stronger.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency: 2 to 3 sprays per crop cycle at 15- to 21-day intervals, depending on disease pressure and weather.
Re-Entry Period: Wait at least 12 to 24 hours after spraying before re-entering the treated field without protective clothing.
Compatibility: Centaurus fungicide mixes well with most common fungicides, insecticides, and water-soluble fertilizers. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture, lime sulfur, or high-pH copper sprays, and always run a small jar test 24 hours before a new tank-mix combination.
Safety, Precautions and Handling:
Wear hand gloves, face mask, and protective eyewear while handling the product.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or spraying.
