FLINT is a proven, highly effective ‘mesostemic’ contact fungicide providing control of a broad spectrum of diseases, in several important horticultural crops.
Soon after application, FLINT becomes locked to leaf surfaces and waxy plant layers form a reservoir of fungicide, which is gradually released over time. This ensure the active ingredient is readily available when needed.
FLINT is also re-distributed to untreated parts of the plant by strong local vapour movement and translaminar activity, protecting the plant and ensuring crop yield and returns are optimised.
| Crop | Diseases Controlled |

| Apples | Black spot, Powdery mildew |
| Pears | Black spot |
| Kiwifruit | Field rot (Sclerotinia) |
| Stonefruit | Brown rot |
| Winter Squash & Pumpkins | Powdery mildew |
| Question | Answer |
| Product Type | Fungicide |
| Active Ingredient | Trifloxystrobin 500 g/kg |
| Formulation Type | Water dispersible granule |
| Pack Size | 1 kg |
| Application Rate/Timing | Apples Disease: Black spot Apply 10 g/100 L (17.5 ml measure) of water. DO NOT add other products (including wetting agents) when used over the flowering - early fruit set period. Disease: Powdery mildew Apply 10 g/100 L (17.5 ml measure) of water. DO NOT add other products (including wetting agents) when used over the flowering - early fruit set period. Pears Disease: Black spot Apply 10 g/100 L (17.5 ml measure) of water. DO NOT add other products (including wetting agents) when used over the flowering - early fruit set period. Kiwifruit Disease: Field rot (Sclerotinia) Apply 15 g/100 L (26.25 ml measure) of water (minimum 300 g/ha) during flowering. Stonefruit Disease: Brown rot Apply 12.5 g/100 L (22 ml measure) (minimum 250 g/ha) in a regular blossom programme from pink to petal fall inclusive. Thereafter apply alternative non-Qol fungicides through until harvest. For resistance management apply no more than 3 applications per season. Winter Squash & Pumpkins Disease: Powdery mildew Apply 125 g/ha (220 ml measure) in sufficient water to obtain uniform coverage. Apply no more than 2 applications, 14 days apart. |
| Withholding Period | Apples, pears: 70 days Winter squash, pumpkins: 14 days Kiwifruit: Do NOT apply after flowering Stonefruit (except cherries): Do NOT apply after petal fall Citrus (multi flowering): 28 days Citrus (Clementine/Satsuma mandarins): 120 days |
| Compatibility | Flint is compatible with most of the commonly used insecticides including Prodigy™ and fungicides. DO NOT add other products to Flint when used over the flowering - early fruit set period. |
| Mixing | Flint mixes readily with water. Add the required amount of Flint to the spray tank filled to one-sixth of its capacity. Under agitation add the remainder of the water and ensure complete mixing before spraying. Continue agitation during spraying and after a stoppage before recommencing spraying. |
