DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Restrictions/Warnings
Do not apply Upright when the crop is wet or if rain is imminent.
On soils of low fertility, best results will be obtained where adequate nitrogen fertiliser is used.
DO NOT apply Upright to undersown crops.
Do not use straw from Upright treated cereals as a horticultural growth medium or as a mulch.
 DO NOT apply Upright to undersown crops.
Caution is needed with mixtures of liquid nitrogen fertilisers and Upright as scorching may occur in certain circumstances.
 
General information
Upright contains two active ingredients, imazaquin and chlormequat chloride.
These active ingredients from different chemical groups have two modes of action, both of which can regulate the growth of wheat and provide protection against lodging.
Applied together as Upright, imazaquin and chlormequat chloride can enhance yield by affecting the growth of the aerial structure (stem, leaves and ears) of the wheat plant.
Upright is for use on high yield wheat growing systems. It should be applied to crops during good growing conditions and to those which are at risk from lodging.nt.
 
Crops
For use in all varieties of Winter Wheat (Except Durum Wheat)

Mixing and Spraying
Mixing
Never prepare more spray solution than is required.
Three quarters fill the tank with clean water and start the agitation. To ensure thorough mixing of the product, invert the container several times before opening. Add the required quantity of Upright to the spray tank while re-circulating. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.
When tank mixes are to be used, take due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing. Each product should be added separately to the spray tank and fully dispersed before the addition of any further product(s).
All tank mixes should be used immediately after mixing.
Rinse empty containers thoroughly, using an integrated pressure rinsing device or by manually rinsing three times. Add washings to tank at time of filling and dispose of container safely.
Wash equipment thoroughly after use
Spraying
Apply as a MEDIUM spray, as defined by BCPC.
