How it works

• SOVRAN fungicide provides excellent protective and curative activity actually preventing spore germination on the foliage and the fruit.
• Only SOVRAN works with a unique surface-systemic activity that provides complete coverage of the leaf's surface, even where it's not sprayed.
• SOVRAN protection has sticking power, so it won't wash off with normal dew or rain.
• SOVRAN gives you 10-14 day preventative control, or if you need it, 96-hour kickback activity. And its easy-to-handle DF formulation dissolves easily.

When to apply

For scab control

• Apply SOVRAN as a protectant at 1/2-inch green, or when conditions become favourable for primary scab and continue on a 10-14 day interval.
• SOVRAN is curative up to 96 hours after the beginning of the scab infection period.
• Do not apply within 30 days of apple harvest.

For powdery mildew control

• Apply SOVRAN at 1/2 inch green and continue preventative applications on a 10-14 day interval.
• Do not apply within 30 days of apple harvest.

How much to apply

• One case of SOVRAN contains ten 450g bottles.

Resistance Management
To maintain the performance of SOVRAN in the field, BASF advises strict adherence to the following resistance management strategies:

• Do not make more than a total of 4 applications of SOVRAN per season.
• BASF recommends making no more than 2 sequential applications of SOVRAN fungicide.
• After your second application of SOVRAN, switch to a fungicide with a different mode of action.
• Thereafter, SOVRAN can be sprayed for a maximum of two more applications.

Precautions 

• SOVRAN may cause injury to certain sensitive cherry varieties such as Van, Sweetheart, Chelan, Somerset, Valera and Vandalay.
• Use care when applying SOVRAN to prevent contact with these varieties and other non-target plants.
