Growers can opt to use the fungicide Legend (Active Ingredient: quinoxyfen, Fungicide Group: Group 13) in hot weather to avoid sulphur burning. This allows them to keep up the powdery mildew protection on their vineyard. Legend has a 45 day Withholding Period (Vintage 2014). Legend costs $24.40 per hectare at its maximum rate (20ml/100lts) assuming a 1000lt dilute spray volume (DSV).
