DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully to ensure the safe and successful use of this product.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
This product is a preventative fungicide. The first application should be made just before disease is expected to appear, with repeat applications at the recommended intervals in a programme with other fungicides.

NOTES:

• Avoid spray overlap or excessive application.

• Use the best available application technique to minimize off-target drift and reduce potential effects on non-target insects or other arthropods.

• Allow foliage to dry before applying BLITZ after rainfall or irrigation.

• Do not apply BLITZ if rain is expected within four hours of application.

• Keep containers tightly closed and store in a cool, dry place, away from fire and sparks.

• Once the container has been opened, the material should not be kept from one season to the next.

RESISTANCE:
According to FRAC guidance, potato blight is considered a disease with a moderate to high risk of developing resistance to fungicides. BLITZ is a multi-site contact fungicide, which reduces the risk of resistance development. However, it is best practice to plan a programme of treatments using fungicides with different modes of action throughout the season for all crops.

APPLICATION EQUIPMENT:
BLITZ should be applied through hydraulic sprayers that are in good working order and have been calibrated according to the manufacturer's recommendations.

SPRAY QUALITY:
Use a MEDIUM quality spray (as defined by the British Crop Protection Council) at 2-3 bar pressure in a suitable water volume to ensure complete coverage of the foliage. Spray fans should overlap just before the top of the crop.

WATER VOLUMES:
Refer to individual crop recommendations for specific advice.

MIXING:
Add half of the required volume of water to the spray tank and begin agitation. Remove the filter basket and pour the required amount of BLITZ into the partially filled spray tank. Continue agitation while topping up the tank and during spraying and transport operations.
When tank-mixing with other products, add BLITZ after the other product has already dispersed in the spray tank.

COMPATIBILITY:
For information about compatible tank mixtures, please consult your distributor or adviser.
