Acrobat SC should be applied as a protectant fungicide with Penncozeb 750DF (mancozeb) or Polyram DF
Plant tissue is protected before disease affects plant cells, as the curative activity of dimethomorph is limited, and mancozeb and metiram are protectant fungicides only
The mixing partner forms part of the label. It is ineffective and illegal to use Acrobat SC alone
The mixing partner controls any disease strains that may be developing resistance and also extends the spectrum of disease control
Penncozeb 750DF (mancozeb) and Polyram DF are multi-site protectant fungicides (Group M3)
Multi-site products provide robust support to single-site products such as dimethomorph
Anti-sporulant activity
Acrobat SC is primarily a protectant. It will also provide anti-sporulant activity in the early stages of disease. Protects against staged sporulation of downy mildew
