DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

PROPERTIES OF FARMCO PGR
FARMCO PGR is a growth regulator for crop height reduction, lodging prevention and yield protection in all varieties of winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley and winter and spring oats, durum wheat, rye, triticale and grassland (seed crops).

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume.
Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of FARMCO PGR and continue agitation whilst adding the rest of the water.
Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and continue agitation during spraying.
Thoroughly wash all spray and measuring equipment with water and a wetting agent immediately after use.

APPLICATION
Spray volume
Apply FARMCO PGR in a minimum of 200 l/ha of water. Increased penetration will be obtained with an increase in water volume but the necessity for this will be dependent on crop growth stage and habit.
Spray nozzles
A medium spray quality is preferred for application of FARMCO PGR. A spray pressure of 2–3 bar is recommended.
Spraying
Take particular care to avoid overlapping of spray swaths.
Only apply using a ground sprayer.
