General Information

It is a growth regulator for crop height reduction, which can lead to lodging control and yield protection in all varieties of winter wheat, winter and spring barley, winter and spring oats, rye, triticale, durum wheat and ryegrass seed crops. Treatment may lead to ears remaining erect through to harvest.

Mixing and Spraying Spray
Volume Apply
SHRINK in a minimum of 200 l/ha of water. Increased penetration will be obtained with an increase in water volume but the necessity for this will be dependent on crop growth stage and habit.

Spray nozzles
A MEDIUM spray quality is preferred for application of SHRINK (see BCPC guidelines). A spray pressure of 2-3 bar is recommended. 

Mixing and Spraying
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 clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of SHRINK and continue agitation whilst adding the rest of the water. Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and continue agitation during spraying. Take particular care to avoid overlapping of spray swaths. Thoroughly wash all spray and measuring equipment with water and a wetting agent immediately after use.
