Potential period of activity after treatment
Triforine has both eradicant and protectant activity. It can move a short distance in the plant
and can reduce some existing infection.
Precautions and safety equipment
Minimize your exposure to pesticides. Unless otherwise stated on the label, wear rubber or neoprene
gloves and boots, eye protection that covers the brows and temples, and long pants, a long-sleeved shirt, and a
hat that can be washed after each use.
Active ingredient
N,N-1,4-piperazinediylbis (2,2,2-trichloro-ethylidene)- bis- (formamide).
Application tips
Triforine is a protectant fungicide. It is locally systemic and must be applied soon after or before
infection occurs to be effective.
Always check the label before purchasing or applying a pesticide product for a specific pest on a specific plant
to be sure it can be applied. Follow label directions precisely.
