Do not use UPSTAGE on sands or very light soils. Do not use on soils with more than 10% organic matter.
SEED DEPTH:
It is important for crop safety that the seed is covered by a minimum of 20mm of soil. Direct-drilled crops should be harrowed across slits to cover the seed before spraying. Where direct drilled crops are treated then ploughing and cultivating to a depth of 15cm must take place before the planting of any subsequent crop. For optimum efficacy, seedbeds should be firm, level and free of clods, loose and puffy seedbeds should be consolidated before spraying.
