GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

SOPRANO 500 Fungicide is a broad spectrum contact and systemic fungicide. It is taken up via the stem and foliage and is translocated upwards and outwards to provide protection to new growth. Thorough coverage of the crop is necessary for best results.

Check the crop regularly for any symptoms of disease infection. Apply as soon as disease is present, and preferably prior to disease establishment. For effective management of eyespot disease, avoid tank mixtures with herbicides and apply prior to canopy closure. Application beyond flag leaf emergence (Z39) may not provide any yield benefit, particularly under dry seasonal conditions.

MIXING: SOPRANO 500 is a suspension concentrate formulation. Add the product to the half-filled spray tank while agitating. Continue to agitate while topping up the tank and during spraying.

APPLICATION

Cereals: Application of SOPRANO 500 with BS1000 (or equivalent formulation) at 200 mL/100 L may improve disease control in cereals, particularly at the lower application rate.

• Ground Application: Apply in a water volume of between 50 and 100 L/ha, using flat fan nozzles operating at around 50 cm above the top of the crop. Use the higher water volume in crops with heavier canopies.

• Aerial Application: Apply with suitable aircraft (e.g. airplanes, helicopters, and drones) set up and operated to apply fungicides to cereal crops in a minimum water volume of 20 L/ha.

Bananas:

• Ground Application: Apply by misting machine, airblast, or vertical boom spray in an appropriate application volume.

• Aerial Application: Apply in a minimum application volume of 30 L/ha.
