Spray Timings for Stripe Rust Control:

• Wheat – Stripe Rust – moderately susceptible varieties – apply when 15 to 20% leaves infected.

Application:

• Procon 250 EC Systemic Fungicide may be applied by ground rig, high or low volume, or by air.
• Cereals:
  • It may be applied by boom spray of aircraft.
  • Ensure complete coverage of all leaves and stems is obtained.
  • The object of spraying is to control disease on the upper 2 to 3 leaves during grain filling.
  • With aircraft, as a guide, apply 10 to 20 L/ha with the lower rate being used when applications are made with a crosswind of not less than 5 knots.
  • Use the higher rates when applying to dense crops.
• Apricots, Plums and other Stone fruit: Apply by high volume (dilute) sprayer or by concentrate sprayer.
• Bananas: Apply by misting machine, air blast sprayer or aircraft. Use a minimum of 30 L water if applied by air.

Dilute Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and match the sprayed crop.
• Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy.
• Apply sufficient water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off.
• The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice.
• Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100L of water. Spray to the point of run-off.
• The required dilute spray volume will change, and sprayer set-up and operation may also need to be changed as the crop grows.

Concentrate Spraying:

• Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (a sprayer that applies water volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed.
• Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen volume.
• Determine the appropriate dilute spray volume (see Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy.
• This is needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.
