Priaxor Xemium Information
Priaxor® Xemium Brand Fungicide by BASF is a translaminar fungicide approved for use on coffee in Hawaii by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under a Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Section 18 Emergency Exemption.
When applied preventatively, Priaxor® Xemium Brand Fungicide provides a layer of protection against Coffee Leaf Rust (CLR) caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix. Priaxor Xemium forms a protective barrier on the leaf surface and along with translaminar properties, will stop infection from germinating spores and subsequent colonization on the underside of the leaf surface. Priaxor should be used in an integrated pest management program that includes scouting, fungicide rotation and consideration of cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
Producers using Priaxor® Xemium on coffee in Hawaii will need to follow all Section 18 and specimen label directions and instructions. It is a violation of federal law to use this product, or any pesticide, in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. The label is the law.
