- This product produces overall plant health benefits, which makes plants stronger to fight challenging diseases such as powdery mildew, Botrytis Bud Rot, Fusarium, and more.
- Regalia CG, Grandevo CG, and Venerate CG all have a 3-year shelf life.
- All CG products are fairly tolerant to varying pH levels, but it is optimal to stay within 6-8 pH.
Instructions, Use Rates, Best Practices
Rates: There is flexibility in the rate between the range provided on the label. It is always important to remember to plan and use the product as a preventative treatment, use the low rate when low infestation and use the higher rate of the range during breakouts. Always follow label recommendations.
Strong return on investment: Using Regalia decreases damage to crops and therefore Increases yields
Outstanding safety profile: No chemical residues, Minimal PPE (low applicator hazard)
Flexibility: 4-Hour REI, 0-Day PHI
Export: MRL Exempt
Instructions:
Regalia CG for plant health, botrytis, powdery mildew
Dip: Dip immediately prior to transplant. Solution of 1 tbsp/gal.
Drench: 1-2 tbsp/gal solution. 7 day intervals.
Foliar: 1.28 – 2.56 tbsp/gallon. Apply at 7 day intervals.
Art of use:
- Biopesticides work best when mixed with water at a pH of between 6-8. Start application early and prior to infestation to be ahead of the situation.
- Use a non-ionic surfactant that maintains a 6.0 – 8.0 pH (7.0 optimal). Complete coverage matters. Pests begin on leaf undersides, so higher pressure sprayers with finer droplets (100+ psi) can greatly improve pest management.
- Tank mixing Regalia CG with Grandevo CG or Venerate CG can reduce labor. Alternating between Venerate CG and Grandevo CG helps. Always test a new mix of biopesticides and adjuvants on a few plants to assess the safety (phytotoxicity) of the mix. Evaluate the plants 48 hours after application.
- Be proactive in your pest management. Along with maintaining a sanitary growing environment, keep your humidity at acceptable levels, remove plants and plant material that are a danger to other plants.
- Always carefully inspect incoming plant material. Consider using an isolation area prior to intermingling with other plants as hitchhiking insects, mites and diseases may take some time to be apparent.
- Weekly applications of insecticides and miticides are generally good for proactive management. However, if battling an outbreak of mites or insects, use the higher end rate and consider tightening up your spray program to every 4-5 days for two weeks so that you break the egg to egg-laying adult lifecycle.
- Store biological products in a dry location between 35 and 90F.
Use rate for foliar application: Regalia CG - 2-4 tbsp. per gallon of water applied at 2 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft.
Tank mixing: Regalia CG can be tank mixed with either Grandevo CG or Venerate CG. Tank mix Regalia CG at the 1 – 2 tbsp. rate with either Grandevo CG or Venerate CG for plant health benefits.
Regalia CG can also be tank mixed with Actinovate or BT (Dipel).
Regalia CG for plant health and disease control: Use 2-4 tbsp. per gallon of water applied at 2 gallons per 1,000 sq. ft. every 7 days if disease is present until plants are clean; then apply Regalia CG at 2 tbsp./gallon (per 1,000 sq. ft.) every 7 days for preventive maintenance.
Ideal Preventative Maintenance IPM Program:
Regalia CG for overall plant health and Powdery Mildew control
– Start at transplant with Regalia CG. Using Regalia CG as a foliar spray & drench is the best way to use Regalia CG
– Using Regalia CG as a soil drench at transplant at 2 tbsp./gallon, or root dip at 1 tbsp./gallon
– Once plants are established (minimum 10 days after a transplant treatment), use Regalia CG as a soil drench every 10 days at the rate of 2 tbsp./gallon
– For foliar use, apply 2-4 tbsp. /gallon, applied at 2 gallons (per 1,000 sq. ft.) every week (7 days)
