Diseases controlled by Sil-MATRIX include:
- Powdery mildew
- Gray mold rot (Botrytis cinerea) on blueberry

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Sil-MATRIX™ is a broad spectrum pesticide for control of the fungal disease powdery mildew, and control of mites, aphids, and whiteflies on vegetables, fruits, nuts, vine crops, agronomic crops, and ornamentals; for control of gray mold rot (Botrytis cinerea) on blueberry; for suppression of Asian soybean rust on soybean, and for suppression of gray leaf spot, brown patch, dollar spot, and snow mold on turf. Rate of application is variable according to pest pressure, timing of sprays and plant stage of growth. Use lower rates under light to moderate pest pressure; higher rates under heavy pest pressure and for mite control. Arid climates generally require higher rates.
