The Plant Health Story Behind
Intrinsic Brand Fungicides
®

At each stage of the production process, Intrinsic brand fungicides


provide superior, broad-spectrum disease control that helps plants grow
strong. This innovative line of fungicides also delivers plant health
benefits, including greater tolerance to stress and increased growth
efficiency for stronger, denser roots. Research shows that plants treated
with Intrinsic brand fungicides display improved resilience to stress
imparted by temperature extremes, drought, handling and transportation.
The result is healthy, high-quality plants.

Start your production cycle on a strong foundation of broad spectrum


disease control and resistance management. Incorporate Pageant ®
Intrinsic brand fungicide, Empress® Intrinsic brand fungicide and
Orkestra® Intrinsic brand fungicide into your rotation to promote plant
health throughout the growing cycle.

Total Release Fungicides and Insecticides
Total release is a unique pesticide application system that delivers ULV
(Ultra Low Volume) insecticides and fungicides throughout a greenhouse
for effective pest control. Its exclusive aerosol delivery system reduces
pesticide applicator exposure through a three-step process: Locate,
Lock Down, and Leave. Total release products are ready to use, so you
never have to mix the chemicals or operate industrial application
equipment, and they effectively control a wide variety of insects and
diseases that are common issues in the greenhouse. Total release
aerosol delivery systems make pesticide applications simple and easy.

Total Release Best Practices


How to Use the Locate, Lock Down and Leave application system:

Step 1: Locate
Determine appropriate areas to place the containers.
n They work best on benches or hanging from trusses.
n Do not place containers directly in front of fans, heaters or inlets to jet tubes.
n After
 finding the best location, create a plant-free zone by removing any plants within
the recommended clearance area, up to 6 feet around the container.
n Elevate
 the container so the top is above the height of the plants you will treat.
- Place the container on an inverted empty pot at the proper elevation on the benches.
- Ensure a plant-free, obstacle-free clearance zone around each container.
n I
f using multiple containers, plan your application placements and greenhouse exit path
in advance to avoid walking through the pesticide fog.

O R N A M E N TA L P L A N T P R O D U C T I O N G U I D E 59
Step 2: Lock Down
Keep the area contained to create the best application environment for total release products.
n Close all vents and sources of outside air.
n Run
 horizontal air flow (HAF) fans or fan jets (no heat; air only) for at least 15 minutes prior
to application to create air movement in the greenhouse.
nS
hut down all HAF fans just before activating cans; HAF fans should remain off for at least
three hours or, if possible, all night.
nP
ut on the required personal protection equipment (PPE) and hold the container at arm’s
length; position the tip so that the spray releases from the can at an angle away
from the applicator.
nD
epress the actuator until it locks down, and set the container back into the
plant-free zone.
n If you are using multiple containers in the greenhouse, start at the farthest point and
work your way toward the exit door, locking down containers as you proceed.

Step 3: Leave
Once all the containers are locked down, leave the greenhouse and shut the exit door.
n The containers will fog for approximately 2 to 3 minutes until empty.
n Allow the pesticide particles to circulate for at least 4 hours.
nC
ommon practice is to leave the house closed overnight; if necessary, HAF fans may
be returned to operation after the minimum 4-hour circulation period. Refer to label for
REI guidelines and ventilation requirements. ALWAYS FOLLOW LABEL DIRECTIONS.
nO
nce the REI is complete, you may enter the greenhouse and resume normal operations.
n If
you need to re-enter the greenhouse before the REI, you must wear PPE as required
by the label.
