DIRECTIONS FOR USE


Seal the potato storage building to prevent or reduce leakage. Adjust the ventilation system to ensure even distribution of moving air. Adjust the application equipment to deliver droplets in the range of 1 to 10 microns. Ensure that air blower screens are clear and no restrictions in air flow are present on the thermal generator. Apply SPROUT NIP BRIQUETTES at the rates shown/100 tonne potatoes. SHORT-TERM STORAGE (up to 3 months): Apply 1.5 to 2 kg of active chemical. LONG-TERM STORAGE (4 to 6 months): Apply 3.0 to 3.75 kg of active chemical per application. Depending on factors occurring in the storage, it may be found necessary to repeat a treatment to achieve the desired results. The operation of every storage is different and introduces different operating conditions, which in turn determine the effect of the treatment. Following treatment with SPROUT NIP BRIQUETTES continue air circulation until fog clears (2-4 hours). Standard aeration/ventilation for temperature and humidity control can then be resumed.

Use Precautions
1) SPROUT NIP BRIQUETTES is applied as a mist or fog to inhibit sprouting of potatoes in storage. It should only be used with an approved thermal generator for safe distribution. The concentration of SPROUT NIP BRIQUETTES must be kept below 11.5 kilograms per 283 m3 (10,000 standard cubic feet) of air per hour. Explosion may occur if the lower limit for combustion is exceeded.
2) Potatoes to be treated must be firm and free from excessive dirt or other debris. Mechanically damaged potatoes cannot be treated until suberization is complete, a process which normally takes 2-3 weeks or more.
3) Prolonged application with thermal generators may cause fires. Remove all flammable material from the vicinity of the application point before operations commence. Keep at least two operational fire extinguishers suitable for use in confined areas at the point of application. Do not leave equipment unattended during operation.
4) The fog from this product is irritating to lungs and skin. If it is necessary to enter the storage building during the application or before the fog has settled after application use a NIOSH/MSHA-approved dust/mist respirator and wear eye protection, chemical resistant coveralls over a long-sleeved shirt and pants, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes and socks.
5) This product will inhibit sprouting of potatoes used for seed. Do not apply on or near potatoes to be used for this purpose. Do not store potatoes to be used for seed in treated buildings.

RESTRICTED-ENTRY INTERVAL (REI):
Do not allow entry into treated areas (to attend to fans, etc.) until after two (2) hours of mechanical ventilation (fans should circulate outside air) or four (4) hours of passive ventilation (windows, vents and doors should be opened). If visible aerosol remains after these periods, do not enter until the aerosol has settled.
Eye Protection: Use full face shield or chemical safety goggles when handling.
Skin Protection: Wear coveralls, chemical-resistant gloves, shoes and socks when handling.
Respiratory Tract Protection: Wear a respirator with a NIOSH/MSHA/BHSA approved organicvapour- removing cartridge with a prefilter approved for pesticides when handling or if there is potential for inhalation of the vapour or spray mist.
