DIRECTIONS FOR USE

 

GENERAL INFORMATION
Isopyrazam is a orthosubstituted pyrazole carboxamide fungicide belonging to the sub-class of the benzonorbornenes. ZULU is predominantly protectant but has significant biochemical potency and can deliver disease control away from the point of application.

 

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Crops and growing conditions
ZULU can be used on all varieties of winter and spring barley. Apply ZULU 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 ZULU at 1.0 litres per hectare.

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

 

MIXING AND SPRAYING
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 ZULU 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 Quality
Apply ZULU using a conventional fan nozzle producing a medium spray quality as defined by the British Crop Protection Council. A spray pressure of 2-3 bars is recommended.

Spray Volume
Apply ZULU in a recommended 100-400 litres of water per hectare through conventional crop spraying equipment.

After Spraying
Thoroughly wash out sprayer according to manufacturer’s guidelines and dispose of washings and clean containers according to DEFRA Code of Practice and local water authority guidelines.
