Dosage & Application Guide
Historical formulation reference only: the table below is based on the September 2025 CIBRC major-use compilation. It is not a complete current Prism label or an independent instruction to apply. Confirm every value against the supplied pack before use.
Qualified formulation rates and waiting periods
| Crop / programme | Product / acre* | Water / acre* | Tank dose | Reference PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Papaya | 289 g | 304–405 L | Not supplied | 4–8 days |
| Apple | 289 g | 304–405 L | Not supplied | 3 days |

Historical formulation reference: papaya, apple and tomato 715 g/ha, approximately 289 g/acre; bottle gourd 1430 g/ha, approximately 579 g/acre. All four rows specify 750–1000 L water/ha, approximately 304–405 L/acre. Reference PHIs are paired separately in the table. No disease-specific rate is supplied for wheat, the broader cucurbit group or pigeonpea.
*Area quantities are approximate acre equivalents of the original hectare values stated above. PHI means the time between the last treatment and harvest; “not stated” is not zero days.
The manufacturer’s online quantity may omit an area denominator. Do not infer it. Confirm the current brand rate, water, application method, timing, repeat limits, re-entry, rainfast period and harvest directions. No per-litre or tank recipe is derived here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Identify the problem and match it to the current supplied label, not just the active ingredient.
- Use the complete pack directions: Check the crop-specific rate, water, equipment, timing and placement before measuring product.
- Avoid copper mixtures: The manufacturer says not to mix Prism with copper-based products. Do not assume other mixtures are compatible; follow the current labels.
- Protect people and nearby areas: Follow protective-equipment and re-entry directions, prevent drift and water contamination, and observe the required harvest interval.
