GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING/APPLICATION

Before pouring, vigorously shake the container, then add the required quantity of UPTOWN INSECTICIDE to water in the spray vat while stirring or with agitators in motion.

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed for high volumes of water up to the point of run-off, matched to the stage of crop growth.

• Calibrate and operate the sprayer to 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 the required water volume from industry guidelines or specialist advice.

• Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water.

• Spray to the point of run-off.

• Adjust dilute spray volume, sprayer calibration, and operation as the crop grows.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed and calibrated for concentrate spraying, matched to the stage of crop being sprayed.

• Calibrate and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen water volume.

• Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume for the crop canopy to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.

• The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can be calculated using the concentration factor.

• Adjust spray volume, product amount per 100 L of water, and sprayer set up and operation as the crop grows.

• For further information on concentrate spraying, consult relevant industry guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training, and follow industry Best Practices.
