Rates of Use
STORITE Excel should be used at a rate of 80ml of product per tonne of potatoes. The product can be applied undiluted or diluted with water.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Before using STORITE Excel the pack should be thoroughly shaken to ensure even dispersion of the product, which may settle during storage. STORITE Excel can be applied undiluted using specifically designed spinning disc equipment at 80ml per tonne of potatoes. STORITE Excel can also be applied diluted with water. The 80ml of product should be made up to 1-2 litres with water and this volume applied per tonne of tubers using ultra low volume hydraulic nozzles. At this rate tubers should be dampened but not wet. When diluted with water the product should be agitated in order to maintain an even dispersion, agitation should continue even when misting is not in operation. Mix only sufficient STORITE Excel for immediate use. Potatoes should only be treated by means which provide an accurate dose. Care should be taken to ensure that STORITE Excel is not over or under applied and that tubers are not carrying excessive quantities of soil.
