Reduces lodging and enhances yields in Wheat, Barley and Oats

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Restraint
DO NOT apply to crops under stress, suffering from nutrient deficiency, disease, drought stress, insect or nematode damage, herbicide effects or frost

BARLEY
Use: Increase grain yield by reducing lodging, reducing excessive crop biomass, enhancing general crop development
Rate: 300 to 400 mL/ha
Critical Comments: Apply to actively growing, healthy crops.
Apply at the beginning of stem elongation (GS30-32) when the 2nd node is detectable on the main tiller and the majority of the other tillers have the 1st node detectable above ground level.
Use the higher rate when plant populations, soil moisture and nutritional levels favour high biomass crop development.
In some situations crop development may be delayed by up to 7 to 10 days at anthesis but total days to maturity will not generally be affected.
Rate: 200 to 400 mL/ha
Critical Comments: Where conditions favour crop growth compensation (Bounce-back), an additional application can be made at GS37-39, flag leaf just visible stage to flag leaf full emerged stage. DO NOT apply after growth stage 39 (flag leaf fully emerged).
Apply to actively growing, healthy crops.
Use the higher rates when plant populations, soil moisture and nutritional levels favour high biomass crop development.
In some situations crop development may be delayed by up to 7 to 10 days at anthesis but total days to maturity will not generally be affected.

OATS
Use: Increase grain yield by reducing lodging, reducing excessive crop biomass, enhancing general crop development
Rate: 300 to 400 mL/ha
Critical Comments: Apply to actively growing, healthy crops.
Apply at the beginning of stem elongation (GS30-32) when the 2nd node is detectable on the main tiller and the majority of the other tillers have the 1st node detectable above ground level. DO NOT apply after growth stage 32 (stem elongation).
Use the higher rate when plant populations, soil moisture and nutritional levels favour high biomass crop development.
In some situations crop development may be delayed by up to 7 to 10 days at anthesis but total days to maturity will not generally be affected.

WHEAT
Use: Increase grain yield by reducing lodging, reducing excessive crop biomass, enhancing general crop development
Rate: 300 to 400 mL/ha OR 200 mL/ha plus 1000 to 1300 mL/ha ErrexTM 750 Plant Growth Regulator
Critical Comments: Apply to actively growing, healthy crops.
Apply at the beginning of stem elongation (GS30-32) when the 2nd node is detectable on the main tiller and the majority of the other tillers have the 1st node detectable above ground level. DO NOT apply after growth stage 32 (stem elongation).
Use the higher solo rate or mixture when plant populations, soil moisture and nutritional levels favour high biomass crop development.
In some situations crop development may be delayed by up to 7 to 10 days at anthesis but total days to maturity will not generally be affected.

NOT TO BE USED FOR ANY PURPOSE, OR IN ANY MANNER, CONTRARY TO THIS LABEL UNLESS AUTHORISED UNDER APPROPRIATE LEGISLATION

EXPORT TRADE ADVICE – TREATED CEREALS: Grain harvested from cereal crops treated with Moddus Evo may contain finite (measurable) residues of trinexapac-ethyl and may pose a risk to trade in situations where no residue tolerance (import tolerance) is established in the importing country or where residues in Australian commodities are likely to exceed a residue tolerance (import tolerance) established in the importing country. Before you use this product, you are advised to contact Syngenta and/or your industry body about any potential trade issues and their management. If you use this product and grain harvested from treated crops is destined for export, you are required to declare the use of Moddus Evo to buyers of the grain, when requested or when required by contract or trade terms.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
MODDUS EVO is absorbed by the leaves and stems. MODDUS EVO has no direct root or soil activity. MODDUS EVO is absorbed quickly into the plant tissue and rapidly translocated to the growing parts. MODDUS EVO is rainfast within 2 hours of application.

Mixing
MODDUS EVO is a dispersible concentrate (DC) formulation that mixes readily with water and is applied as a spray.
1. Partly fill the spray tank with water
2. Start the agitation
3. Add the correct amount of product to the spray tank with the agitation system running
4. Continue agitation while topping up the tank with water and while spraying

Growing Conditions
In general MODDUS EVO should be applied under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. MODDUS EVO should not be applied to crops that are under stress due to very dry, very wet, frosty conditions, nutrient deficiency or high insect pressure, as this may give less than reliable results.

Application
May be applied by boom spray or aircraft. Ensure complete coverage of all leaves and stems is obtained.
Boom Application: As a guide, apply using spray volumes as specified in the “Recommended Water Volumes for Spraying” table. The use of flat fan nozzles is recommended using a medium quality spray pattern.
Aerial Application: As a guide, apply using spray volumes as specified in the “Recommended Water Volumes for Spraying” table with the lower rate being used when applications are made with a cross wind of not less than 5 knots. Use the higher rates when applying to dense crops.

Recommended Water Volumes for Spraying
Crop: Cereals
Water Volume (L/ha): 
Boom application: 100 to 200
Aerial application: 20 to 30

Compatibility/Tank Mixing
MODDUS EVO is physically compatible with a wide range of products, however the biological compatibility of these mixtures may not have been fully tested under all environmental and biological conditions.
A mixture of MODDUS EVO with any other product may in some circumstances affect the growth regulatory response. If tank mixes are to be used observe all directions, precautions and limitations on all products to be used. As formulations of other manufacturer’s products are beyond the control of Syngenta, and the quality of water may vary with location, all mixtures should be tested prior to mixing commercial quantities.
