The postharvest preservation solution

The postharvest preservation solution

Use Recommendations For optimal use of the product, it should be applied as soon as possible after harvest but ideally within 24 hours to be able to protect harvest wounds. The Product Always make a premix of PHILABUSTER by gradually diluting the product 5 times with water under constant stirring. The obtained premix will offer a very stable treatment suspension. Ideally, the treatment water should be stirred all day long. PHILABUSTER is not compatible with most of the disinfectants specially the one containing chlorine. In case of incompatibility, the concentration of the disinfectant could be an influencing factor. PHILABUSTER combines the active ingredients imazalil sulfate and pyrimethanil, two fungicides with different modes of action and a high level of efficacy. The active ingredients show synergistic effects against a variety of pathogens and as a result it offers a high-level control of a broad spectrum of postharvest diseases. The product offers as well a preventive, curative as anti-sporulation activity. PHILABUSTER is generally compatible with other fungicides but mixing PHILABUSTER with other fungicides is only needed in specific cases because of the spectrum and level of efficacy of the product. Residues are also influenced by several factors including treatment time, ph and temperature of the treating solution. The product contains 200 g/l pyrimethanil and 200 g/l imazalil and is formulated as a Suspension Concentrate (SC). For further information, contact your local service company or a representative of Janssen PMP. H CH 2 CH CH 2 H 3 C CL CH O CL CH 2 Application CH 3 The Mode of Action PHILABUSTER can be used in dip and wash tanks, drenchers, aqueous line spray and in wax line spray systems. The objective is to obtain an even cover of the fruit surface with a sufficient residue for qualitative long term storage and a good shelf life afterwards. For optimal use, treat within 24 hours after harvest. Rate in % Rate (fl.

Read the label of the product before any use and contact your local service company or a representative of Janssen PMP in The biochemical mode of action of the combination product PHILABUSTER is related to its two active ingredients. Pyrimethanil is an anilinopyrimidine fungicide (Group 9) that interferes with the secretion of enzymes necessary for infection by several postharvest pathogens, while imazalil sulfate is an imidazole fungicide (Group 3) that inhibits sterol synthesis thus affecting cell wall permeability. As a consequence, PHILABUSTER is a fungicide with preventive, curative and anti-sporulant activity. case of any doubt. PHILABUSTER is PHILABUSTER 400SC or PHILABUSTER SC depending on the country specific registrations

Efficacy of PHILABUSTER is a very effective product which can be applied through a variety of application methods such as The Spectrum of Activity dip and drench applications but also the aqueous and wax spray applications. Each of these application methods has its own level of treatment quality which will ultimately influence the effectiveness of the fungicide. Effectiveness of via aqueous application As citrus fruit is stored and/or transported all over the world, a long lasting activity is essential for a good postharvest product in the citrus fruit segment. Fewer products are available to preserve citrus fruit from decay, therefore it is essential that proper management practices are utilized when using the few remaining products. 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 green mold stem- end rot anthracnose FUGAFLOR FUGAFLOR is applied at a rate of 500 ppm imazalil PHILABUSTER is applied at a rate of 500 ppm imazalil + 500 ppm pyrimethanil Diseases Latin name Diseases Common name Level of efficacy of Effectiveness of via wax application Penicilium italicum Blue Mold +++ Penicilium digitatum Green Mold +++ Diplodia natalensis Diplodia / Stem-end rot ++ Alternaria citri Alternaria / Black rot ++ Colletotrichum gloeosporiodes Anthracnose + Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for pyrimethanil and Imazalil are established in most market destinations of the world.

Good Management Practices Anti-resistance strategy Good management practices include sanitation, both in the orchard and in the packing house. Sanitation is the first line of defense in decay and fungicide resistance management. A poor sanitation program will undo the positive effects of any fungicide management program. In the orchard Remove inoculum sources of orchard-related pathogens. PHILABUSTER has been developped as a tool for anti-resistance management offering two active ingredients with different modes of action against the main pathogens in citrus. evertheless it is advised to use the product in a sustainable way to preserve it on the long term. All products must be applied at full dose rates to limit the risk of resistance. Low residues and under dosing can hasten the development of resistance. Do not place bins on muddy orchard soil. In the packinghouse Avoid build-up of inoculum in the drench water by adhering strictly to drench water change schedules. Sanitize water systems, packing lines, storage rooms, and bins. Janssen PMP provides sensitivity monitoring to track any on the resistance development in any of the pack houses. With this tool, it is possible to pick up, in a very early stage, possible issues before they result in an insufficient control under practical circumstances. Based on the results, timely efforts and adaptations of treatment schemes and sanitation measurements can be made to preserve your fruit. Please contact your service company for any further support.
