GROWTH STAGE (Timing) | Problem | Solutions |
Just before planting | Seed and soil borne infection of fungal diseases (Damping off)due to Pythium and phytopthora. | Excalibur Gold(HC) Nugro Dynamic |
All weeds(Perenual and Anuals) | WeedAll GlyphoMax | |
Annual weeds | Aqriquat | |
Directly after transplanting | Seed and soil borne infection of fungal diseases (Damping off, Verticillium wilts). | Excalibur Gold(HC) Dynamic Nugro |
Poor top shoot growth and transplanting shock. | Sprout Marinure DS Soil conditioning.: Wash in to root zone by light irrigation. Marinure DS limits mortality of seedlings, promotes top growth and root development. | |
Cutworms | Lycomax, Recharge, Benefit | |
Nematodes | Agrioxamyl GR | |
Week 2 after emergence | Poor growth due to lack of phosphorus and trace elements. | SuperKelp |
Alternaria and Cercospora leaf spots | Dynamic Nugro Strobi Gold Tebucon Pro | |
Week 4 after emergence | Poor fruit set due to Calcium, magensium, zinc, boron deficiencies. | Marinure DS Marinure CalMag+B Apply once. |
Aphids, Beetles, Whitefly, Lacebug | Fizimite, Biotrine Benefit | |
Alternaria and Cercospora leaf spots | Dynamic Nugro Strobi Gold Tebucon Pro | |
Before flowering | Flower abortion and poor fruit size | NitroBor Marinure Zinc Repeat application after flower initiation and replace Marinure Zinc with Marinure ZMC at a rate of 2 L/h |
Bollworm, Bettles, Lacebug, Red Spider | Biotrine Benefit | |
Alternaria and Cercospora leaf spots | Dynamic Nugro Strobi Gold Tebucon Pro | |
Just after flowering – before fruit set | Poor fruit set due Calcium, magnesium, zinc, boron deficiencies, | Marinure DS Marinure CalMag+B |
Foliar and stem diseases Altenaria, Anthracnose, Fusarium, Cercospora | Dynamic, Nugro, Strobi Gold, Tebucon Pro, | |
With fruit formation | Poor fruit set due Calcium, magnesium, zinc, boron deficiencies, | Marinure DS Nutrigro K Marinure CalMag+B |
Bollworm, Bettles, Lacebug, Redspider | Biotrine Benefit | |
Mold, Foliar and stem diseases Altenaria, Anthracnose, Fusarium, Cercospora, Sclerotinia | Dynamic, Nugro, Strobi Gold, Tebucon Pro, | |
Bacterial wilt | ||
Fruit enlargement | Marinure CalMag+B Nutrigro K |
* Start spraying with Marinure CalMag + B as early as possible to prevent and promote fruit quality & shelf life.
Calcium is also important for cell division that has a direct influence on the ultimate fruit size.
Marinure DS sprays are important for root development, top growth, stress relief (including heat, cold) of the crop and finally fruit size. Potassium, present in Nutrigro K is critical for fruit size.
