Scotts Octave is a broad-spectrum wettable powder containing 46% w/w prochloraz. This active ingredient is a imidazole fungicide which has strong contact activity against many of the major diseases of ornamental crops. It has some translaminar movement and has been shown to be active against strains of some pathogens which have become resistant to benzimidazole and some other groups of fungicides. Scotts Octave also gives a reduction of the disease affecting the rooting of the cuttings caused by a complex of common pathogens.
Scotts Octave has been successfully used at the recommended dosage without crop damage on a wide range of hardy, woody and soft ornamental plants. However, when using for the first time on a new crop, cultivar or variety or at a higher dosage level than previously, it is recommended that a few plants be test-treated first.
- Broad spectrum activity against a wide range of pathogens.
- Effective control of many foliar and root diseases.
- Contact and translaminar action reduces fungal attack.
- Increases success with rooted cuttings by suppressing a wide range of sub-clinical infections.
