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.
Bonafide is a protectant and systemic fungicide for use in oilseed rape for the control of Sclerotinia stem rot (Sclerotiniasclerotiorum) and dark leaf and pod spot (Alternaria brassicae). A reduction in Phoma leaf spot and stem canker (Leptosphaeriamaculans) may also be obtained.

Time of application
Oilseed rape
Apply Bonafide as a protectant spray. Two applications can be made from the four true leaf stage of the crop in the autumn, up to and including when 50% of pods are at final size (GS 75 BBCH).
Applications against Phoma should be made from early autumn at the first signs of Phoma leaf spot infection.
Applications against Sclerotinia should be made in high disease risk situations at early to full flower (GS 63-65 BBCH), before disease symptoms are visible.
Applications against Alternaria should be made from full flowering (GS 65 BBCH) up to and including when 50% of pods have reached final size (GS 75 BBCH).
Applications made after the end of flowering (GS69) may result in reduced levels of control.

Mixing, rate of use and spraying
Mixing
Never prepare more spray solution than is required.
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Slowly add the required amount of Bonafide whilst re-circulating.
Rinse empty containers thoroughly, using an integrated pressure rinsing device or by manually rinsing three times. Add washings to tank at time of filling and dispose of container safely.
Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.

Rate of use and application
Apply 0.5kg of Bonafide in 220 - 400 litres of water per hectare as a MEDIUM spray, as defined by BCPC. In dense crops use the higher volume to achieve adequate penetration and good coverage of the crop.
Where possible use narrow-wheeled high clearance application equipment. To ensure optimum spray coverage and minimize spray drift, adjust the spray boom to the appropriate height above the crop, in according to guidance provided by the sprayer and/or nozzle manufacturer.
Thoroughly clean the sprayer and measuring equipment after using Bonafide.
A maximum of 2 applications per crop may be made.
