Time of Application
Apply Opus Team at the start of foliar disease attack. A maximum of two applications can be made up to before the crop enters the flowering period in winter and spring wheat, rye and triticale and up to and including emergence of ear just complete in winter and spring barley and winter and spring oats.
For optimum effect against eyespot with Opus Team apply between the leaf sheaths erect and second node detectable stages of the crop.
For protection against Fusarium ear blight and sooty mould on the ears of winter and spring wheat, apply Opus Team during ear emergence.
For control of Septoria tritici and Septoria nodorum, treatment should normally be made after the third node detectable stage when disease is present and when weather favouring disease development has occurred. A follow-up treatment may be necessary if conditions continue to favour disease development.
Rate of Application
Apply 1.5 litres Opus Team in a minimum of 200 litres of water per hectare by ground sprayer.
Increase the water volume where the crop is dense.

MIXING
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. SHAKE THE CONTAINER WELL before use and pour in the required amount of product. Rinse any empty containers thoroughly and add rinsings to the spray tank. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.
When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing.
