DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.
DISEASES CONTROLLED Ranman Top is a fungicide with activity against fungi from the class of Oomycetes, especially against Phytophthora infestans. It is a protectant fungicide and as such it should be applied before blight enters the crop. Depending on the disease pressure, good protection against the disease can be expected over a period of 5 to 10 days.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Timing of application:
The fi rst application against potato late blight should be made preventatively, when warning systems forecast a signifi cant disease risk situation; usually this is when the potato leaves meet along the rows (row closure).

Rate of application:
Apply 0.5 L/ha of Ranman Top. The maximum number of applications for Ranman Top is 6.

Volume, spray quality and application method:
Ranman Top should be applied in 200-400 L of water per ha as a MEDIUM spray quality as defi ned by BCPC. Ranman Top should be applied via tractor mounted or drawn sprayer and must be applied evenly

Spray schedule
Use according to disease warning systems or on a systematic program with repeated applications. During periods with heavy disease pressure and during rapid development of the potato haulm, or where crops are irrigated, the sprays should be repeated every 6 to 7 days. In case of exceptional disease pressure, the intervals can be slightly shortened to a 5 day spray interval. Under low disease pressure, especially after fl owering, the spray should be repeated at least every 10 days

Pre harvest interval: 7 days

SELECTIVITY
RANMAN TOP is very selective in potato crops. The use will not cause any adverse effect on the crops.

MIXING
Add a minimum of 50% of the required water into the spray tank, and agitate when adding the required amount of Ranman Top. Finally add the remainder of the required water volume. Keep the spray solution agitated until all product is applied. Never prepare more spray solution than required. On emptying the container, RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of fi lling and dispose of container safely.

TANK CLEANING
Ensure that no or only a minimal quantity of product remains in the spraying tank after fi eld application. Upon completion dilute the remainder of the spray solution with the tank cleaning water and spray the diluted rest onto the target crop area. Any spillage should be collected and disposed of in appropriate chemical waste. In no way should contamination of waterways or surface water be allowed to occur. Thoroughly wash out all remaining equipment after use. Rinse the spray tank with fresh water and spray the further diluted rest onto the target crop area.

CONTAINER AND STORAGE
Ranman Top must be kept dry and frost proof in a suitable pesticide store.

WARRANTY/ DAMAGES
With many products there is a general risk of resistance developing to the active ingredients. For this reason a change in activity cannot be ruled out. It is generally impossible to predict with certainty how resistance may develop because there are so many crop and use connected ways of infl uencing this. We therefore have to exclude liability for damage or loss attributable to any such resistance that may develop. To help minimize any loss in activity the recommended rate should in all events be adhered to. Numerous, particularly regional or regionally attributable, factors can infl uence the activity of the product. Examples include weather and soil conditions, crop plant varieties, crop rotation, treatment times, application amounts, admixture with other products, appearance of organisms resistant to active ingredients and spraying techniques. Under particular conditions a change in activity or damage to plants cannot be ruled out. The manufacturer or supplier is therefore unable to accept any liability in such circumstances. All goods supplied by us are of high grade and we believe them to be suitable, but as we cannot exercise control over their mixing or use or the weather conditions during and after application, which may affect the performance of the material, all conditions and warranties, statutory or otherwise, as to the quality or fi tness for any purpose of our goods are excluded and no responsibility will be accepted by us for any damage or injury whatsoever arising from their storage, handling, application or use; but nothing should be deemed to exclude or restrict any liability upon us which cannot be excluded or restricted under the provisions of applicable law.
