DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Trifloxystrobin is a strobilurin fungicide

TIMING AND DOSE

Apply Escolta at 0.35 L/ha at the onset of disease, usually late July / early August.
Up to two applications may be made with
Escolta between BBCH 31 and 21 days before harvest, however only one application may be made between BBCH 31 to BBCH 39.
A minimum spray interval of 21 days must be observed.
Escolta will give most effective disease control when applied as the disease first becomes active in the crop and before disease becomes established. Escolta will give prolonged protection from re-infection, but a second spray may be applied 3–4 weeks later if crops are at risk from later attacks

APPLICATION

Water volume:
Apply in 200–400 litres of water per hectare.

SPRAY QUALITY
Apply as a MEDIUM quality spray (as defined by BCPC).

MIXING AND SPRAYING

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE.
Add half the volume of clean water to the spray tank.
Turn on the agitation and add the recommended quantity of Escolta.
Maintain continuous agitation until spraying is complete, including topping up the spray tank and during spraying and any stoppages until the spray tank is empty.
Sprayers should be thoroughly cleaned before use, and filters and jets checked for damage and blockages.
Ensure that the spray bars are set at the correct height to give a good spray cover, and that alternate spray cones or fans meet just above the crop.
Even cover with a well-mixed spray is essential for good results. In dense crops, higher water volumes should be used.
