Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP is a postharvest fungicide which aids in the control of many important plant diseases such as Blue Mold Rot, Bull’s Eye Rot, Gray Mold (Nest Rot, CLuster Rot), Stem End and Neck Rot. If treatment is not effective following use of Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP as recommended, a tolerant strain of fungus may be present. Consideration should be given to prompt use of other suitable non-benzimidazole fungicides. Use of Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP should be integrated into an overall disease management program with each packinghouse. Completely empty foil bag into application equipment by shaking and tapping sides and bottom to loosen clinging particles. APPLES & PEARS: Postharvest control of Botrytis and Penicillium Rots. Spray or drench:
Dilute 7.5 oz. (212 g) of Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP in 55 gallons of water to yield 1000 ppm TBZ. Keep suspension under constant gentle agitation. Do not treat fruit for more than 3
minutes. Treat only once, either before or after storage. Drain fruit thoroughly after treatment and do not rinse. In wax: Dilute 7.5 oz. (212 g) Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP in 27.5 gallons of apple wax to yield 2000 ppm TBZ. Spray suspension full strength at a rate of 1 gallon per 8,000-10,000 pounds of fruit. Agitate wax suspension during application.
CARROTS:
Postharvest control of Botrytis Gray Mold and Sclerotinia Rot. Dilute 7.5 oz. (212 g) Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP in 37 gallons of water (1500 ppm) and apply before storage as an aqueous dip for up to 10 minutes. Replenish dip suspension when volume is too low or when it becomes dirty.
CITRUS FRUITS:
Postharvest control of Penicillium Molds and Stem End Rot.In AZ and CA, dilute up to 7.5 oz. (212 g) Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP in 11 gallons of citrus wax (5000 ppm) and apply a single application of 1 gallon of wax suspension per 3500 lbs fruit. Agitate wax suspension during application. In FL and TX, 2 sequential applications may be applied: First, dilute up to 7.5 oz. (212 g) Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP in 55 gallons of water (1000 ppm) and apply as an aqueous dip for up to 3 minutes before de-greening. Replenish dip suspension when volume is too low or when it becomes dirty. After de-greening and washing, mix 7.5 oz. (212 g) Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP in 16 to 55 gallons of citrus wax (1000-3500 ppm) and apply 1 gallon of wax suspension per 3500 lbs fruit.
POTATOES:
Postharvest control of Fusarium Tuber Rot. Before storage, mist unwashed tubers on a conveyor line with tumbling action, using 0.2 oz. (5.7 g) Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP per 2000 lbs tubers in sufficient water for complete coverage. If needed before shipping, tubers may be retreated after at least 30 days storage, using either a 2nd mist as described above or a 20 second dip of 0.2 oz. (5.7 g) Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP per gallon of water. Replenish dip suspension when volume is too low or when it becomes dirty. For Seedpiece Potatoes, mist unwashed tubers before storage as described above. DO NOT retreat. DO NOT treat after cutting. Shield-Brite TBZ 99WP should be used as part of an Integrated Management Program for potatoes, which includes prevention of bruising during harvest and maintaining proper storage temperatures and relative humidity. Neither cultural practices nor TBZ treatment will prevent Fusarium infection if potatoes are damaged or improperly stored.
