DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Isopyrazam is an orthosubstituted pyrazole carboxamide fungicide belonging to the sub-class of the benzonorbornenes. REFLECT is predominantly protectant but has significant biochemical potency and can deliver disease control away from the point of application.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

Use REFLECT as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategy incorporating other methods of control including, where appropriate, other fungicides with a different mode of action. Follow the FRAC guidelines for application of SDH inhibitors in vegetables. The current guidelines are as   follows:

When mixtures are used for SDHI fungicide resistance management, applied as tank mix or as a co-formulated mixture, the mixture  partner:

-  Should provide satisfactory disease control when used alone on the target   disease

-  Must have a different mode of  action

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Restrictions

Do not use on crops intended for seed   production

Crops and growing conditions

Apply REFLECT under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results

Always inspect crops to assess disease development immediately before spraying. Best results will be achieved from applications made as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development following a disease risk assessment or the use of appropriate decision support   systems

CARROTS

Rates of use

Apply REFLECT at 1.0 litres product per hectare

Timing

For optimum results apply REFLECT at the first signs of disease, from 4th true leaf unfolded onwards (BBCH 14). A further application may be required if disease pressure remains high. Allow a minimum of 14 days between applications.

Processing

Where a crop is destined for processing, consult your processor before treating with   REFLECT

PROTECTED CROPS:
Rates of use
Apply REFLECT at 0.1 litres product per 100 litres.

Timing
For optimum results apply REFLECT at the first signs of disease, from BBCH 51 (first flower). A further application may be required if disease pressure remains high. Allow a minimum of 7 days between applications.

Processing
Where a crop is destined for processing, consult your processor before treating with REFLECT.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Mixing Procedure
Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume. Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of water and begin agitation. Add the required amount of REFLECT to the spray tank. Add the rest of the water and continue to agitate the mixture thoroughly. Always agitate during spraying.

Spray Volume
Carrots
Apply REFLECT in a recommended 200–600 litres of water per hectare through conventional crop spraying equipment.

Protected crops

After Spraying
Thoroughly wash out sprayer according to manufacturer’s guidelines and dispose of washing and clean containers according to DEFRA Code of Practice and local water authority guidelines.
Apply REFLECT in a recommended 300-1000 litres of water per hectare through hand-held crop spraying equipment or hydraulic nozzle applicator e.g. motorised sprayer with hand lance or boom lance.
