General Instructions for Grochem Tribasic Liquid Fungicide:

Mixing/Application:

• Fill the spray vat with good quality water.
• Pour the required quantity of Grochem Tribasic Liquid Fungicide into the spray vat with agitation running.
• DO NOT pre-mix the fungicide in water before adding to the spray vat.
• If other pesticides are applied, mix them thoroughly before adding Grochem Tribasic Liquid Fungicide.
• Continuous agitation is essential during spraying.

Wetting Agents:

• Spraymate Activator is required for Brassicas, Faba Beans, Peas, and Onions, regardless of the application method.
• Wetting agent needed for concentrate spray or aircraft application.
• Add wetting agent for other pesticides if required.

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high water volumes, matching the crop.
• Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off, avoiding excessive run-off.
• Determine water volume through tests, industry guidelines, or expert advice.
• Add the specified amount of product per 100L of water and spray to the point of run-off.
• Adjust dilute spray volume and sprayer setup as the crop grows.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for concentrate spraying, matched to the crop.
• Achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy with the chosen water volume.
• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy.
• Calculate concentrate mixing rate using the concentration factor.

Example for Concentrate Spraying:

1. Dilute spray volume: e.g., 1,500 L/ha
2. Chosen spray volume: e.g., 500 L/ha
3. Concentration factor: 3x (1,500 L ÷ 500 L)
4. If the dilute label rate is 10 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 10, i.e., 30 mL/100 L of concentrate spray.
5. Adjust spray volume, product amount, and sprayer setup as the crop grows.
