General Information
TERPAL is a plant growth regulator, which shortens and stiffens straw of barley, ryecorn and triticale. TERPAL is mainly taken up through the green parts of plants. TERPAL should only be applied to vigorously growing crops, which have an adequate supply of nutrient and moisture, and which are free from any stress prior to and following treatment. Optimum results are obtained when TERPAL is applied during the recommended stages of crop development. The main effect is to shorten and thicken the stem between internodes, on those parts that are undergoing stem elongation at, or following, treatment. Early treatment therefore provides the greatest protection against basal lodging, and later treatments are more effective at reducing straw and neck break. TERPAL is suited for application by ground or aerial spraying.

Advantages of treatment: TERPAL improves the resistance of vigorous crops, to lodging. Yield losses associated with lodging, straw and neck break are reduced. Harvest is made easier. Fertiliser inputs can be aimed at optimum yields, rather than be limited, to avoid lodging. Tall growing, high yielding cultivars may be grown in high fertility areas, where lodging would normally preclude their use.

Direction for Use
CAUTIONS
Do NOT apply TERPAL if rain or frost is expected, nor if the crop is wet. Avoid spray drift on to neighbouring crops. Do NOT apply TERPAL to crops on soils of low fertility, unless fertiliser and moisture are made available to the crop. Do NOT use on crops on light soils that are likely to suffer from moisture stress. - Do NOT apply TERPAL at temperatures above 21 degrees C. Do NOT apply to crops suffering damage or physical stress, e.g. frost, hail or herbicide damage, water logging, drought or nut

Application
Secondary tillering may be pronounced in the wheel tracks where ground spray equipment is used in the absence of tramlines.
Secondary tillering may be induced by early treatment and this effect will be more noticeable on crops that come under stress following treatment, or in crops growing on light soils. TERPAL may be applied to crops under sown with clovers.

Mixing
Add the required amount of TERPAL to the partly filled spray tank with agitation running. Complete filling the spray tank. Maintain agitation during application.

Compatibility
TERPAL may be applied in tank mixtures with commonly applied insecticides, fungicides and Foliar Nitrophoska. When used in tank mixtures, add TERPAL last to the spray tank and use immediately. Do not mix with herbicides.

Handling
Read label before use.

Transport
Do NOT carry this product on a passenger service vehicle.

Spillage
Prevent further spillage and product from entering waterways. Wear overalls, gloves, footwear and goggles. Absorb spill with an inert absorbent material (e.g. vermiculite) and place in sealable container for disposal. Wash affected area with water and detergent. Absorb and collect washings and place in the same sealable container as the spilled material. Dispose of the waste safely in suitable landfill.

Personal Protection
When mixing or applying, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, suitable protective gloves, frame goggles and face protection.

General Safety and Hygiene Measures
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and inhalation of spray mist. Wash splashes of concentrate from skin immediately. Do NOT eat, drink or smoke when using this product. Remove protective clothing and wash hands and exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water before meals and after work. Wash protective clothing immediately after use. Store work clothing separately.

Use
Remove stock from target area and observe withholding periods. Apply with well-maintained and accurately calibrated equipment. Do NOT store or use in equipment with aluminium fittings. Do NOT spray over, or allow drift over, surface water such as ponds, waterways or drains. Do NOT allow spray drift outside the target area to occur. Clean out application equipment thoroughly after use. Do NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash waters.
