NEIA
Worked great for me. Had my sprayer shut itself off one year when spraying it. It came back on, I never stopped, two years later when I planted beans there you could see that spot. It had white mold. Rest of the field was clean. Nice 60' wide strip about 100" long. Know several other guys that use it. I used 1 lb/ac every 8 to 10 years. I sprayed it in the fall, but it can be done in the spring. Needs to be lightly worked in or rained in soon after being applied.
This is the way it was explained to me a long time ago. Contans is a living microbe, it feeds on the white mold spores. As long as there are spore in the ground they keep living and eating. As the spore levels go down the microbe levels also go down. After so many years microbes are gone and the spores start to come back. Hence the 8 to 10 years spraying.
