Application Information
How to Apply
:
Ground and aerial application.
Water Volume:
Ground: 80 L/acre. Aerial: 20 L/acre minimum.
Application Tips
It is recommended to apply Acrobat 50 WP in alternation with a fungicide having a different mode of action. Under
high level of late blight infection, apply this product after topkill to reduce tuber blight.
How it Works
Acrobat 50 WP has protectant, systemic and anti-sporulant activity. Dimethomorph penetrates the plant and moves
upward to protect the leaves and stems.
Restrictions
Effects of Rainfall
:
Do not apply if rain is expected within 2 to 3 hours of spraying and apply to dry foliage.

Do not apply Acrobat 50 WP within 4 days of harvest.
Maximum Allowable Applications
:
Do not apply more than 3 applications per season.
Re-cropping
:

Environmental Precautions
Acrobat tank-mix combinations are toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Do not apply within 100 m of streams,
ponds, rivers and lakes when applying by air and within 50 m when applying by ground.
Runoff
:
To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, avoid application to areas with a moderate to steep
slope, compacted soil, or clay. Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast. Contamination of aquatic areas as a
result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip between the treated area and the edge of the water
body.
