• Special Instructions for Stone Fruit:
  • Dilute Spraying: Apply to the point of run-off, using a sprayer designed for high water volumes. Adjust sprayer settings as the crop grows.
  • Concentrate Spraying: Set up for concentrate spraying, calculate the mixing rate based on dilute spray volume and chosen spray volume. Do not exceed the specified concentrate rate.

APPLICATION (Cotton):

• Thorough coverage is essential for maximum performance.
• Ground Application: Use hollow cone nozzles with a minimum spray volume of 100L/ha. Achieve a droplet VMD of 150-180 microns.
