Product Q&A

Answer:

Cease Biological Fungicide is labeled to treat Early blight on tomatoes under the section for greenhouse crops, stating as follows:
"For suppression, begin application when plants are 4 to 6 inches high. Repeat applications on a 5 to 7 day interval or as needed. For improved performance, use CEASE in a tank mix or rotational program with other registered fungicides for Early and Late blight control. Use shorter spray intervals under conditions conducive to rapid disease development."

However, container grown plants are listed on a different section of the label, with application instructions as follows:
"Indoors, Outdoors, Field, Greenhouse, Nursery Grown Plants:  Apply CEASE at rates ranging from 2-8 quarts of product in 100-300 gallons of water per acre. Make applications on a 3-
to 10-day schedule. Begin applications when conditions favor disease development prior to the onset of disease.  Under normal conditions apply CEASE at a rate of 4 qt of product per 100 gallons of spray solution per acre on a 7-day schedule. When conditions favor severe disease development shorten the spray interval or use a higher rate. Thorough coverage is essential for effective disease control. When more diluted or concentrated spray solutions are needed for the type of equipment being used, follow the “Use Rate Determination” section of this label."

We recommend contacting the manufacturer Bio Works, Inc. directly for further clarification on the distinction between these application instructions at 800-877-9443, or via their website's contact page here.
