NOTE: Resistance to this dicarboximide fungicide and related dicarboximide products could develop from
excessive use. To minimise this risk use strictly in accordance with label instructions.
It is recommended that when used for Botrytis control, no more than two applications of Rovral Gold are made
per season and that alternative non-dicarboximide products are used at other key times in the programme.
Do not use this product if resistance monitoring tests show a high level of tolerant strains are present before
application is planned.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Half fill the spray tank with clean water, add the required amount of Rovral Gold and top up with water. Agitate
thoroughly before spraying commences. Rovral Gold is compatible with most commonly used fungicides and
insecticides, but do not mix with strongly alkaline materials. If unsure, check compatibility before use.
Rovral Gold is unstable in alkaline solutions: if alkaline water is used to prepare spray solutions use an acidifying
or buffering agent to reduce the pH of the final solution to below pH 7.
Experience has shown Rovral Gold to be well tolerated by target field crops, but selectivity should be checked
before use on new cultivars or introductions.

of flower and ornamental crops. If unsure
about selectivity check by spraying 1-2
plants prior to general use.
The addition of a non-ionic wetter at recommended rates will improve coverage of flowers in berryfruits, and a
spreader/sticker such as Nu-Film-17 will improve activity on outdoor crops under adverse weather conditions.
