RESTRICTIONS
Additional advice for operators
鈥? SHIRLAN may cause transient skin reaction in a small number of sensitive individuals.
鈥? Do not come in contact with spray drift. Ensure spraying is carried out under good
conditions and that the sprayer is adjusted to minimise drift.
鈥? Do not allow contact of contaminated clothing with unprotected skin.
鈥? Do not allow contact between contaminated sprayer parts and unprotected skin. Ensure
sprayer is washed down daily.
鈥? Wash all protective clothing (coveralls) regularly, preferably daily, when working with
SHIRLAN.
鈥? When entering crops do not allow contact of unprotected skin with treated foliage.
鈥? People who have been sensitised by SHIRLAN should not use or have further contact with
the product.
DISEASES CONTROLLED
SHIRLAN is an agricultural fungicide for the control of foliar blight (Phytophthera infestans)
and protection against tuber blight in potatoes.
BACKGROUND TO POTATO BLIGHT CONTROL
Late blight (Phytophthora infestans) is potentially a devastating disease of potatoes. In
commercial production, a season long disease prevention policy is essential. First of all ensure
that other control methods are being satisfactorily applied:
1. Prevent re-growth on potato dumps.
2. Destroy all groundkeepers.
3. Plant disease free seed.
4. Use generous soil ridges to protect tubers.
Integrate this approach with a fungicide programme:
Early Crops
In 铿乺st and second early potato crops, particularly those grown in the same locality as main
crop potatoes, an adequate and full blight protection programme should be applied right up
to harvesting or haulm desiccation. This will protect the early crop while helping to reduce
disease risk to later crops.
Maincrops
Disease prevention programmes require regular and season long fungicide use to limit foliar
blight development. However, as an effective fungicide programme will preserve leaf area
there may be more risk of infecting tubers at harvest, particularly during 鈥渉eavy鈥? blight
years. Completion of the control programme should therefore include a complete haulm
desiccant. Lifting of the crop should not take place for at least 10 days after COMPLETE KILL
of the haulm. Crops intended for storage should not be lifted while there is any green tissue
AT ALL on the leaves or stem bases.
SHIRLAN PRODUCT USE
FUNGICIDE
Blight Risk Assessment
The risk of disease is affected by weather conditions (during the crop life) and crop location:
Weather Conditions 鈥? Spread of disease occurs under warm, humid conditions. Preferably
use a reliable decision support system to determine what frequency of fungicide treatment is
appropriate and fungicide type required.
Note: Blight forecasting has often been based on the occurrence of 鈥淪mith periods鈥?. A
鈥淪mith period鈥? is a 48 hour period in which the minimum temperature is 10掳C or more and
the relative humidity exceeds 90% for at least 11 hours during the 铿乺st 24 hours and for at
least 11 hours again during the 铿乶al 24 hours. However, any period of warm, humid weather
increases blight risk.
Crop Location 鈥? Locations with the highest probability of blight problems are:
鈥? Areas of the country where extensive main crop or early production takes place e.g. East
Anglia, the South West or the West.
鈥? Areas where climatic conditions that encourage disease development occur on a frequent
basis. e.g. the South West, the West and the Fens.
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Timing
1. Initial Application
SHIRLAN is a protectant fungicide and therefore the spray programme must start BEFORE
blight enters the crop.
Irrespective of crop growth stage, commence spraying at the first blight warning or
when local weather conditions are favourable for the disease, whichever is the sooner.
Otherwise, in the absence of a weather conducive to disease development, the first
application should be made just before foliage of adjacent plants IN THE ROWS begins to
meet.
2. Repeat Applications
Intervals between applications of SHIRLAN MUST be reduced as blight risk increases, so
that protection of the crop can be maintained, as follows:
鈥淟ow risk鈥? situations 鈥? applications should be made as a precautionary measure, before
conditions conducive to blight development have occurred 鈥? APPLY AT 14 DAY INTERVALS
鈥淗igh risk鈥? situations 鈥? following two warm, humid days or in irrigated crops 鈥? APPLY AT
7鈥?10 DAY INTERVALS.
鈥淪evere risk鈥? situations 鈥? during continued warm, humid weather and when blight is
in nearby crops, potato dumps or volunteer plants 鈥? APPLY AT 5鈥?7 DAY INTERVALS AS
APPROPRIATE, ACCORDING TO BLIGHT WARNINGS AND DISEASE PREDICTION SYSTEMS
NB Potato blight fungicides may not give complete protection when the disease risk is
severe. However, disease development will be delayed dramatically with a well timed
spray programme.
Up to ten applications of SHIRLAN may be made to a crop.
3. For protection against Tuber Blight
To reduce the risk of problems with tuber blight at harvest SHIRLAN should be used
regularly at the recommended intervals from full canopy development to complete haulm
desiccation.
PRODUCT USE SHIRLAN
FUNGICIDE
Rates of Use
Apply 300 ml/ha of SHIRLAN at each treatment.
Crops grown for processing
Consult processor before use.
MIXING AND SPRAYING
Apply SHIRLAN in 200 to 500 litres of water per hectare. Use adequate water to ensure
complete coverage of the foliage and stems, increasing the volume as haulm growth
progresses, particularly in dense crops and under high or severe blight risk conditions.
Application Details
1. Application Equipment: Apply SHIRLAN through tractor drawn or mounted, conventional
hydraulic crop spraying equipment.
2. Sprayer Preparation: Ensure that the sprayer is clean and calibrated correctly, to give even
application. Apply at the recommended water volumes using a MEDIUM quality spray (as
defined by British Crop Protection Council guidelines).
3. Spray Pressure: at least 2 bar.
4. Mixing: Before mixing SHIRLAN, first part fill the spray tank with clean water and
commence agitation. Then, shake the SHIRLAN container and add the required amount of
product to the sprayer using a filling device (e.g. induction bowl, probe etc), or otherwise
by direct addition to the spray tank.
Wash out empty container thoroughly and add washings to the sprayer. Preferably use an
integrated pressure rinsing device, otherwise manually rinse the container three times. DO
NOT RE-USE CONTAINER FOR ANY PURPOSE.
Agitate spray tank contents thoroughly whilst 铿乴ling and throughout the spraying operation.
Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (such as during meal-breaks or
overnight).
DISEASE RESISTANCE
Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogen less sensitive to SHIRLAN develop.
THIS PRODUCT IS TO BE USED ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS
AND INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN ON THE LABEL PROVIDED WITH THIS PACK. USE IN ANY OTHER
CIRCUMSTANCES IS ENTIRELY AT THE USER鈥橲 RISK.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1 metre of the top of a ditch which is dry at the time of application. DO NOT ALLOW
DIRECT SPRAY from hand-held sprayers to fall within 1 metre of the top of the bank of
a static or 铿俹wing water-body. Aim spray away from water.
* This product quali铿乪s for inclusion within the Local Environmental Risk Assessment for
Pesticides (LERAP) scheme. Before each spraying operation from a horizontal boom
sprayer, either a LERAP must be carried out in accordance with PSD published guidance
or the statutory buffer zone must be maintained. The results of the LERAP must be
recorded and kept available for 3 years.
(c) Storage and disposal
