Rainfastness
Once the spray application has dried on the leaf surface, rainfall will not interfere with its ability to control disease, due to the locked in reservoir of protection being created. SCORPIO has been proven to be rainfast within 2 hrs of application.

Application in low temperatures
It has been proven that SCORPIO can be applied at low temperatures, as long as the contents of the tank/knapsack remain as a liquid, and that there is no snow cover.

SCORPIO can be applied as part of a disease management programme. It is a perfect partner for Chipco Green which contains the active ingredient Iprodione. When used in a programmed approach through the year (with Chipco Green applied in the Winter with its contact properties) and SCORPIO in the Spring/Autumn (with its systemic properties), you are utilising two actives in two different fungicide groups, both affecting the fungi by different methods. This means the fungi will be controlled within a disease control management programme.

Bayer Environmental Science are a professional organisation in the amenity industry and we provide the following advice on the use of all strobilurin products:

SCORPIO belongs to the strobilurin class of chemistry and certain fungal pathogens are known to develop resistance to strobilurin products, if used repeatedly. A recommended programme would be to rotate SCORPIO with Chipco Green/Mildothane Turf Liquid (containing actives from different chemical groups/modes of action) as advised above.

NB. There have been no cases of fungicide resistance with the strobilurins in managed amenity turf in the UK and we look for this to continue with careful stewardship.

Wash out all spray equipment thoroughly with water immediately after use.
