Scala

Scala^® is a systemic fungicide for control of botrytis in grapes and strawberries, scab in apples and pears, early blight in potatoes and storage diseases in apples (ON and QC only). It provides translaminar and vapour activity to protect both sides of the leaf and expand the protected area.

Scala is the only fungicide for grapes proven to significantly reduce laccase in wine, an enzyme produced by botrytis that negatively affects wine quality. It is known as the cool weather fungicide in apples and pears due to its unique ability to perform well in cool spring conditions. Used as a pre-harvest spray, Scala also protects apples in storage from destructive diseases such as botrytis and penicillium.

In potatoes, Scala is the only Group 9 fungicide registered for protection against early blight. Scala has a unique mode of action – different than strobilurins – and is registered as a tank mix with Bravo^® ZN fungicide to provide two modes of action for stronger resistance management. A new registration for aerial application in potatoes means Scala can now be applied by air as well as ground equipment to control early blight. 

Scala is very easy to use, formulated as a liquid and packaged in 2L and 6.07L jugs.

Overview

• Group 9 fungicide – unique to potatoes – great for resistance management
• Superior early blight protection
• Must be tank-mixed with the labelled rate of Bravo^® ZN fungicide
• Local systemic activity to protect new growth
• Translaminar movement to protect both sides of the leaf

Apple Spray program

• Use Scala + Bravo^® ZN fungicide where you would normally use a specialty early blight product
• Apply when environmental conditions are conducive to disease development. Repeat applications at 7-14 day intervals or as necessary to maintain disease control. If severe disease conditions exist, use the 7-day interval.

Application Tips

• Thorough coverage of all plant parts to be protected is essential for good disease control. Use sufficient water volume and spray pressure to provide thorough and uniform coverage for optimum disease control.
• Rainfastness: Two hours

Pre-harvest intervals:

• Apples - 72 days
• Pears - 72 days
• Apples for storage - 14 days
• Grapes - 7 days
• Strawberries - 1 day
• Potatoes - 7 days
