Registered Tank Mixes
For control of Pythium, Rancona Apex Fungicide can be tank mixed with Apron XL LS for applications to wheat
(
spring or winter), barley, oats or rye. Apply Rancona Apex at registered rates for these crops, and apply Apron XL
LS at 2.7 mL/100 kg of seed.
Application Information
Rancona Apex is a ready to use formulation and should be applied utilizing mechanical, slurry or mist-type on-farm
or commercial seed treating equipment.
How it Works
Rancona is a broad-spectrum fungicide with systemic properties.
Restrictions
Grazing
:
Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 30 days after planting.
Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing.
Environmental Precautions
Treated seed is toxic to birds and small wild mammals. Any spilled or exposed seeds must be incorporated into the
soil or otherwise cleaned up from the soil surface. Do not contaminate irrigation water supplies or aquatic habitats by
cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
