MIXING AND SPRAYING

Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume. In all cases add KAYAK to the spray tank first, followed by any additional products. Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of KAYAK to the spray tank. Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and continue agitation during spraying. Thoroughly wash all spray equipment with water immediately after use.
Wash out containers thoroughly, preferably using an integrated pressure rinsing device, or manually rinse three times.
Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling. Complete filling to the required volume and continue to agitate throughout the spraying operation.
Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (such as during meal breaks or overnight).

Spray Application
Apply KAYAK in 200 litres of water per hectare using a tractor-mounted sprayer and a medium spray as defined by BCPC.
A spray pressure of 2-3 bars is recommended.
Thoroughly wash all spray equipment with water after use.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

KAYAK contains the aniline-pyrimidine fungicide cyprodinil. To reduce the risk of diseases developing resistance to cyprodinil, KAYAK should be used as part of a resistance management strategy that includes fungicides with a different mode of action.
