Buffer zones greater than 5 m are NOT eligible for buffer zone reduction under the LERAP scheme.

Do not apply to barley or wheat before GS 30.

Low drift spraying equipment must be operated according to the specific conditions stated in the official three star rating for that equipment as published on HSE Chemicals Regulation Directorate’s website. These operating conditions must be maintained until 30 m from the top of the bank of any surface water bodies.

Maximum total dose: 4.0 l/ha.

For optimum control spray in the spring as soon as disease appears or if climatic conditions indicate that infection is probable. The latest time of application in winter wheat is before the beginning of anthesis (GS 61) and in winter barley is before emergence of inflorescence completed (GS 59).

Under increasing disease pressure a second application of CRAFTER may be required.

Applications made after the flag leaf just visible stage may only result in reduction of the disease. The activity of this product against Septoria tritici (leaf spot) may be reduced in the presence of serious mildew infection.

Use under curative situations (when disease is already well established and actively moving up the plant) must be avoided

Apply in 200–400 litres of water per hectare.

 

Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required quantity of CRAFTER, and begin agitation. Add the remaining water and continue agitation during spraying. On emptying the container, RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add the washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely.

Ensure that all spraying equipment is thoroughly washed out immediately after use.

Spray Quality: Apply as a MEDIUM quality spray as defined by the BCPC system.

Shake container well before use.

Effectiveness using three star drift reduction technology may be reduced.

 

CRAFTER contains tebuconazole (a DMI fungicide). Resistance to some DMI fungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch (Mycosphaerella graminicola) which may seriously affect the performance of some products.
