Bioclear Paraffinic Oil can be used in combination with certain fungicides, herbicides and insecticides as a wetting agent/adjuvant/carrier or as specified on the products label.


General
Different plant stresses can have cumulative effect. In general, follow good farming practice to minimise all other sources of plant stress. Avoid applying Bioclear when environmental conditions elevate plant stress. AVOID spraying complex tank mixtures. In particular DO NOT spray:
- when the soil is dry
- if trees are suffering from moisture stress
- if hot weather (> 35 C) is imminent or has occurred in the previous 4 days
- if the shade temperature exceeds 32 C
- in slow drying conditions
Since Bioclear can be used as a herbicide adjuvant, any phytotoxic tendencies of other insecticides mixed with Bioclear may be enhanced. Follow the label precautions on the other insecticides carefully and if in doubt a certain mixture then test on a small area first before widespread use. Bioclear sprays greater than 250 mL/100 L water should not be applied for at least one month after spraying with sulphur or lime sulphur, as severe injury may occur, especially if the oil is applied in hot weather.
DO NOT apply Bioclear in combination with Propargite or within 4 weeks of a Propargite application.
Adding spraying oils with TORQUE Miticide/Insecticide can reduce the speed of action of Torque Miticide/Insecticide. Avoid applying Torque with Bioclear where rapid speed of action is required.
DO NOT apply Bioclear in combination with, or following a chlorothalonil application
DO NOT use in combination with Supracide 400 Emulsifiable Concentrate Insecticide on mangoes after fruit set and while fruit is on the tree.
