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

Benzovindiflupyr is an orthosubstituted pyrazole carboxamide fungicide belonging to the sub-class of the benzonorbornenes.
Benzovindiflupyr is an SDH inhibitor (FRAC group #7 carboxamides). Benzovindiflupyr is predominantly a protectant substance.
VELOGY PLUS is best used as a protectant treatment or in the earliest stages of disease development.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Use VELOGY PLUS 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. You must not apply more than two foliar applications of products containing SDH inhibitors to any cereal crop.
Disease control may be reduced if strains of pathogens less sensitive to VELOGY PLUS develop.
On cereal crops, VELOGY PLUS must always be used in mixture with another product, recommended for control of the same target disease that contains a fungicide from a different cross resistance group and is applied at a dose that will give robust control.
Users should refer to current FRAG-UK guidelines for SDHI compounds

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Crops and growing conditions
VELOGY PLUS can be used on all varieties of winter and spring wheat, winter and spring barley, rye and triticale. Apply VELOGY PLUS under good growing conditions with adequate soil moisture. Avoid poor growing conditions which may give less reliable results.

Timing
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.

Rates of use
Apply VELOGY PLUS at 0.75 litres per hectare.

FOLLOWING CROPS
There are no restrictions on succeeding crops in a normal rotation.

MIXING AND SPRAYIING
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 VELOGY PLUS to the spray tank and allow to disperse before adding any other product. Add the rest of the water and continue to agitate the mixture thoroughly. Always agitate during spraying..

Spray Volume and Application
Apply VELOGY PLUS in a recommended 100 - 400 litres of water per hectare through conventional crop spraying equipment. The higher spray volumes are recommended where the crop is dense or disease pressure/risk is high to ensure good penetration to the lower leaves and stem bases. Disease control maybe compromised by reducing water volumes, where good spray coverage is difficult to achieve. A spray pressure of 2-3 bars is recommended. Effectiveness using three star drift reduction technology may be reduced.

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.
