Directions For Use

Use only as directed.

Efficacy is greatly influenced by environmental factors, i.e. water stress and heat waves can have a negative influence. Ideally soil conditions should be at field capacity during application.

PREFERABLY APPLY EARLY IN THE MORNING OR LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. DO NOT APPLY IN THE HEAT OF THE DAY.

With SULTANINA GRAPES : Apply in 1 300 - 1 800 l water/ha. Ensure thorough cover of bunches and enclosing leaves.   Care must be taken with wetting agents as russetting can occur.   Both spray and dip method can be applied. The success of the treatment is critically dependant on the correct timing of the application.
