Does anyone know the PHI for Bonide’s Infuse.
I can’t find it anywhere on the label

Mike,
Here’s what @Olpea advised us in GW in 2014.
http://forums.gardenweb.com/discussions/1479646/monterey-fungi-fighter-days-to-harvest.
Here’s part of Mark/Olpea’s answers
“I looked at the electronic label and couldn’t find the PHI either. The only possibility that it would be omitted that I can think of is that, since it has a 0 PHI and a homeowner formulation, the PHI wouldn’t be relevant and would perhaps confuse some homeowners. I use the equivalent propiconazole (Bumper) and it has a 0 PHI. However, I don’t spray it up to harvest on peaches, as I can’t see any reason for it.”
I believe Monterey Fungi Fighter and Bonide Infuse have the same main ingredient: Propiconazole - 1.55%.

Wow Mamuang, I don’t know how you remember such things. I didn’t remember writing that, much less the thread, lol. Thanks.

You’ve rescued me from killing my trees so many times. For that, I am very thankful.
I usually only remember some of your advice ( esp. about peaches) and rely on google to refresh my waning memory!!!

I remember the statement, though not which thread, as it was one which led up to me purchasing MFF. I don’t remember if it was for MFF, but I also recall when you mentioned that the LD50 is higher than table salt, which gave me pause because I eat plenty of table salt.

I also don’t remember if I said that in reference to MFF, or something else. I looked it up just now because I was curious, and it would be true for MFF. The LD50 for pure (100%) propiconazole (active ingredient in MFF) is 1344 mg/kg for rabbits. A bottle of MFF only contains 1.55% propiconazole, which would translate to an LD50 of 86709 mg/kg for the bottle. Pure table salt has an LD50 of 3000 mg/kg.

Sticker ???
Folks- This will be my first year spraying Bonide Infuse Propiconazole fungicide to tamp down on the brown rot my peaches suffer from annually.
What kind of sticker should I use. I’m sorry for the dumb question but I truly have no idea.
@Olpea or @BobVance or anyone else: Any thoughts?
This is the sprayer I’ll be using:
Hi Matt,
A popular one is Nu-film(P).I haven’t used it,but apply stickers put out by Southern AG or Hi-Yield,sometimes in combination with a Yucca based product called ThermX70,usually when spraying Copper on Peaches/Nectarines.

Hi Matt,
Sorry for the late reply.
Propiconazole is a systemic, so a sticker generally isn’t required. Stickers are mainly for contact insecticides. Systemics are locally absorbed in the plant tissues, so are pretty much impervious to wash off.

I called Bondie talked to a very helpful and pleasant gentleman named Jose. He gave me the PHI for Bondie Infuse for various label listed fruits.
I asked him to please put the PHI information on their website, as I feel its pretty important. He agreed and said he would make the suggestion to the website developers.
Ofcouse I would rather you get the information from the manufacturer instead of me. You can also call Bondie and ask about infuse yourself, press option 3, I got right through with no hold time.
