DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Restrictions/Warnings
Avoid boom overlaps and ensure that the boom height is correctly adjusted.
Occasionally low levels of temporary leaf tipping may occur following application; this tipping only affects the leaves present at application and will not affect the final yield.
Do not apply Canopy to any crop suffering physical stress caused by waterlogging, drought or other conditions. Crops with a substantial moisture deficit should not be treated.
Avoid spray drift on to neighbouring crops
PROCESSED CROPS: Effects on bread making and brewing have not been tested. Consult grain merchant or processor before use.
Do not use straw from Canopy treated cereals as a horticultural growth medium or as a mulch.
General information
Canopy is a plant growth regulator for reduction of crop height, which can lead to lodging control and yield protection in all varieties of winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, oats, winter rye and winter triticale.
Lodging reduction and yield response in winter rye, winter triticale and spring barley are less consistent than in winter wheat, winter barley and oats.
Crops
WINTER WHEAT, WINTER BARLEY, SPRING BARLEY, OATS, WINTER RYE, WINTER TRITICALE
Time of Application
Apply Canopy from beginning of stem extension (BBCH GS 30) up to and including flag leaf fully emerged (BBCH GS 39)
Rate of Application
Apply 1.5 litres Canopy in a minimum of 200 litres of water per hectare.
Qualified recommendation for reduced water volume
Canopy may be applied at 1.5 litres per hectare in 100 litres water per hectare although efficacy data to support this reduced volume has not been provided. Therefore application at reducedvolume is at user’s risk with regard to biological efficacy.
Following crops
Any crop can follow normally harvested winter wheat, winter barley, spring barley, oats, winter rye and winter triticale and ploughing is not essential before sowing the next crop.
Mixing and Spraying
Apply Canopy as a MEDIUM spray, as defined by BCPC, in a minimum of 200 litres of water per hectare.
SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. Three quarters fill the tank with clean water and start the agitation. To ensure thorough mixing of the product, invert the container several times before opening. Add the required quantity of Canopy to the spray tank while re-circulating. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.
When tank mixes are to be used, take due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing. Each product should be added separately to the spray tank and fully dispersed before the addition of any further product(s).
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.
Tank cleaning
After spraying, thoroughly clean and flush out application machinery with a minimum of three rinses.
