GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - ALBAUGH ESCUDO 250 SC

1. Warning:

• ALBAUGH ESCUDO 250 SC is extremely phytotoxic to certain apple varieties.
• AVOID SPRAY DRIFT to prevent injury to apple trees.
• DO NOT spray where drift may reach apple trees or under conditions favoring drift.
• Use extreme care with thermal inversions, excessive wind speed, certain nozzle/pressure combinations, and small droplet sizes.
• DO NOT use equipment previously used for ALBAUGH ESCUDO 250 SC on apple trees due to potential phytotoxicity.

2. Application:

• DO NOT exceed concentration factors of 4X when applying through low volume equipment, except for aerial application.
• Ensure adequate coverage for disease control.

3. Tree Crops and Vines:

• Dilute Spraying:

  • Use a sprayer designed for high water volumes up to run-off, matching the crop.
  • Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
  • Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to run-off, avoiding excessive run-off.
  • Determine water volume from industry guidelines, expert advice, or test volumes.
  • Add the specified product amount for each 100 L of water and spray to run-off.
  • Adjust settings and operations as the crop grows.

• Concentrate Spraying:

  • Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying, matching the crop.
  • Achieve even coverage using your chosen water volume.
  • Determine a dilute spray volume for the crop canopy.
  • Calculate the concentrate mixing rate:
    1. Dilute spray volume (e.g., 1000 L/ha)
    2. Chosen concentrate spray volume (e.g., 500 L/ha)
    3. Concentration factor (e.g., 2)
    4. If dilute label rate is 80 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 2 x 80 (160 mL/100 L).
  • Adjust settings and operations as the crop grows.

4. Mixing:

• Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and start agitation.
• Shake the closed ALBAUGH ESCUDO 250 SC container.
• While filling the tank, add the required amount of ALBAUGH ESCUDO 250 SC, adding tank mix products last.
• Maintain agitation until spraying is complete.
• DO NOT leave the spray mix in the sprayer overnight.
