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.
 
DISEASES CONTROLLED
Ranman Top is a fungicide with activity against fungi from the class of Oomycetes, especially against Phytophthora infestans. It is a protectant fungicide and as such it should be applied before blight enters the crop. Depending on the disease pressure, good protection against the disease can be expected over a period of 5 to 10 days.
 
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Timing of Application:
The first application against potato late blight should be made preventatively, when warning systems forecast a significant disease risk situation; usually this is when the potato leaves meet along the rows (row closure).
Rate of application:
Apply 0.5 L/ha of Ranman Top. The maximum number of applications for Ranman Top is 6.
Volume, spray quality and application method:
Ranman Top should be applied in 200-400 L of water per ha as a MEDIUM spray quality as defined by BCPC. Ranman Top should be applied via tractor mounted or drawn sprayer and must be applied evenly.
Spray Schedule
Use according to disease warning systems or on a systematic program with repeated applications. During periods with heavy disease pressure and during rapid development of the potato haulm, or where crops are irrigated, the sprays should be repeated every 6 - 7 days. In case of exceptional disease pressure, the intervals can be slightly shortened to a 5 day spray interval. Under low disease pressure, especially after flowering, the spray should be repeated at least every 10 days.
Pre-harvest interval:
7 days
Tuber blight control:
Ranman Top will reduce the percentage of blight affected tubers at harvest and after storage, but should not be relied on in place of end of season products approved with specific claims of control of tuber blight.
 
SELECTIVITY
Ranman Top is very selective in potato crops. The use will not cause any adverse effect on the crops.
 
MIXING
Add a minimum of 50% of the required water into the spray tank, and agitate when adding the required amount of Ranman Top. Finally add the remainder of the required water volume. Keep the spray solution agitated until all product is applied. Never prepare more spray solution than required. On emptying the container, RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely.
 
TANK CLEANING
Ensure that no or only a minimal quantity of product remains in the spraying tank after field application. Upon completion dilute the remainder of the spray solution with the tank cleaning water and spray the diluted rest onto the target crop area. Any spillage should be collected and disposed of in appropriate chemical waste. In no way should contamination of waterways or surface water be allowed to occur. Thoroughly wash out all remaining equipment after use. For disposal of washings, follow the Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products. Rinse the spray tank with fresh water and spray the further diluted rest onto the target crop area.
 
CONTAINER AND STORAGE
Ranman Top is supplied in 0.2, 0.5, 1, 5 and 10 litre containers and must be kept dry and frost proof in a suitable pesticide store.
