Ferti-lome F Stop Lawn and Garden Fungicide Concentrate

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:

PRODUCT USE TIPS:

This product is the most effective as a fungicide when it is used to prevent diseases before they appear. Begin applications early in the season when conditions are favorable for disease development such as cloudy, wet weather.

If it rains before product has dried, re-apply. Do not apply if temperatures are 90 degrees fahrenheit or higher as damage to plants may occur. Make applications to a dry leaf surface early in the morning or evening when winds are calm.

Use with care on Ferns, Palms and Fuchsia. As with all plants, es- pecially Carnations, Chrysanthemums and Roses, there are a wide variety of species; consequently, a wide variety of susceptibility to injury. To test for plant sensitivity, spray a plant, wait 24 hours, and check for possible injury.

HOW TO USE:

Spray to wet plant surfaces, covering both upper and lower leaf surfaces. Apply to the point when spray just begins to run off the leaves. Treat once every 2 weeks on ornamental shrubs and flowers throughout the growing season until diseases are no longer present. On roses, treat once every 7 to 10 days if Black Spot is present. Start application when the lawn begins to turn green in the spring or when signs of disease are present. Check the spray application timing for each type of vegetable, fruit, nut and berry listed on the label.

Use a Fertilome Hose-End Sprayer or Ortho Dial N Spray or handheld compressed air sprayer such as Fertilome Premium Home and Garden Sprayer.
