Positive results with Solvit on roses

After the introduction this spring, Solvit is used for the first time by many rose farmers to combat mildew. The results are positive and particularly the curative effect is much appreciated. Until October Solvit can still be used for Crop clean-up.


How does Solvit work

Solvit's strength lies in the combination of two active agents with different action mechanisms. Due to this the mildew is attacked on two fronts simultaneously and results are quickly visible. The mode of action is by direct contact on the leaf surface directly after application and local systemic activity by penetration of the leaf. The mildew spots dry and turn gray. Eventually only the dark purple spots on the leafs are a reminder of the old mildew infection.


Application

Solvit can be used safely on most of the rose cultivars if the instructions are followed. The cultivar White Naomi, was both in practice and in research the most sensitive. In particular, repeated applications increase the risk of a negative crop reaction. So be alert to this.


Tips

  • Do not apply under fast drying conditions

  • Make sure the crop remains at least one hour wet for sufficient uptake into the leaf

  • Prevent applications at high temperatures and solar radiation

  • Use up to 1,125 liters per hectare maximum (even at higher water volumes)

  • Beware while mixing in the tank


If you have no experience with an agent or in combination with a specific crop, always perform first a small test spray in order to determine whether the crop tolerates the drug or the combination.


Benefits

  • Strong preventive and curative effect

  • Safe for crop at proper application

  • Very low risk of developing resistance

  • Safe for biological control agents on roses

  • Good side effect on rust

  • Easy to use
