Only curious, I was thinking back and I used to use a fungicide that came in a soluble bag that you just put in the tank, whole.
I recon it was Maneb, Zineb and something ...
Like furban???
Just out of curiosity can anyone fill any blanks, like it’s name? And ingredients?
I think it was mainly for potatoes but I wonder if I used to use it on leeks in the early days?🤔
Just things you think about, rolling grass🙄

Mancozeb is a blight fungicide that comes in powder form but not seen it in soluble bags. Great for blocking nozzles and settling in the sprayer tank.
Pyridate is a herbicide that does come in a soluble 1kg pack.
Both old school chemicals. Lentagran (Pyridate) is nasty smelly stuff. Still used it in onions.
