Agral
For use with insecticides, fungicides and herbicides
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
HORTICULTURAL SPRAYS
Add AGRAL at 10 mL per 100 L of spray (2 mL per 15 L knapsack). AGRAL is recommended for addition to all horticultural sprays except those known to include adequate wetting agent in the formulation.
Increased activity will be obtained by increasing the rate for waxy leafed plants which are normally hard to wet.
It is important to spray only to the point of wetness. Excessive use of wetting agents can cause runoff of active ingredient with consequent loss of efficiency.
HERBICIDES
AGRAL may be added to all post-emergence herbicide sprays to increase their efficacy except those which are known to contain adequate wetting agent in the formulation. Wetter should be added only where directed on individual labels, as use with selective herbicides outside label directions may reduce crop selectivity.
For foliar active herbicides, spray to the point where leaves and stems are just wet. Spraying beyond this will encourage runoff, with obvious loss of product and efficacy.
When spraying waxy or hairy leafed plants which are normally hard to wet, increased activity will be obtained by increasing the rate of AGRAL. It is important that the leaves and stems are thoroughly wetted for foliar herbicides to work efficiently, particularly when treating dense, tall vegetation.
Type of equipment: High volume power spray
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 12 mL/100 L
Type of equipment: Low volume boom spray
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 60 mL/100 L
Type of equipment: Misting machines
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 5 mL/5 L
Type of equipment: Knapsack
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 2 mL/15 L
REGLONE
For the maximum efficacy of Reglone a higher rate of AGRAL must be used to ensure even and thorough coverage of plant foliage and to increase absorption.
Add AGRAL to Reglone sprays at the following rates, unless otherwise specified.
Type of equipment: High volume power spray
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 200 mL/100 L
Type of equipment: Boom spray
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 200 mL/100 L
Type of equipment: Knapsack
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 30 mL/15 L
GRAMOXONE 360 PRO HERBICIDE
Gramoxone 360 Pro requires the addition of an adjuvant. Add AGRAL to Gramoxone 360 Pro sprays at a rate of 250 mL/100 L.
GRAMOXONE 250 HERBICIDE
Gramoxone contains wetting agents and AGRAL is only required if dilution rates are excessive, ie low chemical rates and high water rates per ha.
If Gramoxone rate is less that the ratio of 400 mL per 100 L spray volume, add 100 mL AGRAL per 100 L of spray mix.
SPRAY.SEED 250 HERBICIDE
Spray.Seed contains wetting agents and AGRAL is only required if dilution rates are high. If the spray volume is above 100 L per ha, AGRAL should be added at the rate of 200 mL/100 L of additional water.
FUSILADE
Use AGRAL at 350 mL per 100 L unless where specified on the Fusilade label, eg vegetables and ornamentals use 200 mL AGRAL per 100 L.
SOIL RESIDUAL HERBICIDES
When applying soil active herbicides, eg Gesaprim Granules 900 WG Herbicide and Flowable Gesaprim 500 SC Liquid Herbicide, to standing weeds, add AGRAL to thoroughly wet foliage. Rates will range from 125 to 500 mL per 100 L depending on product used. Consult product labels for individual recommendations.
FIRE FIGHTING
AGRAL is an efficient aid to fire fighting. It increases the wetting power of water which assists in quick control and mopping up of fires.
Type of equipment: Water tanker
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 10 mL/100 L water
Type of equipment: Knapsack
Quantity of AGRAL to add to spray: 2 mL/15 L water
NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
AGRAL is a spray additive designed for use with fungicides, insecticides and herbicides. It increases wetting and improves spray coverage.
AGRAL can be used with alkaline sprays and mixes easily with all types of water. It will not injure the most tender foliage if used as directed. Spray only to the point where leaves are just wet. Spraying beyond this will encourage runoff, with obvious loss of product and efficacy.
Mixing
AGRAL mixes easily and quickly with water and should be added direct to the spray tank. It should not be added direct to undiluted sprays containing wetting agents.
