GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
BION is an inducer of host plant resistance. BION exhibits a unique mode of action that stimulates the natural systemic acquired resistance (SAR) response found in most plant species. BION has no direct
activity against target pathogens.

Application
The product should be applied diluted with water in specialised seed-treatment equipment. As for all such seed treatments, a good flow and metering system for the initial prepared solution is important.
Depending on the type of seed treatment equipment, it may be necessary to increase the recommended amount of water slightly in order to ensure an optimal flow of the solution and an even treatment of seed.
Prepare the solution as follows:
1. Fill the solution tank with the required volume of water and mix with the appropriate volume of BION. Total volumes of not less than 500 mL nor more than 1.2 L water/100 kg of seed are recommended when BION is applied alone. If additional seed treatments are applied in combination with BION a higher total application volume may be required to ensure even coverage of seed.
2. Switch on the stirring system and stir.
The prepared solution must be used within 1 week.
