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.
PALERMO plant growth regulator shortens and strengthens the stem internodes and may give some resistance to lodging.
PALERMO will be most effective when applied at the correct timing to a vigorous, actively growing crop, with a good plant population and an adequate nutrient and moisture supply.
It is recommended to apply PALERMO before lodging occurs. The best response to PALERMO plant growth regulator is obtained when the crop is growing vigorously and under conditions of high fertility.
Only winter wheat crops at risk from lodging should be treated with PALERMO.
Thin crops and particularly those on soils of low fertility are less likely to lodge, and in addition such crops may ripen prematurely.

MIXING AND SPRAYING

Apply through a conventional field crop sprayer and use medium nozzles at a pressure of 2-3 bar.
Water volume recommended: 200-400 L/ha.
Good spray coverage is essential. Ensure the sprayer is correctly calibrated before applying and adjusted to give optimal and even coverage of the top leaves. Spray immediately after mixing.
PALERMO should be applied as a medium spray (BCPC category)

Mixing

Shake the container well before use.
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of PALERMO. Begin spray tank agitation and top up to the required volume with clean water. Maintain agitation until spraying is completed.
Do not leave the sprayer filled with the spray solution standing for long periods.
When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing.
Wash out the sprayer thoroughly after use with a wetting agent or proprietary tank cleaner.
On emptying the container, rinse container thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times
