Crop Types & Application rates:
Crops: For use in maize, potatoes and root crops, from the 5 leaf stage of maize until cob flowers form. Dosage should be appropriate to the level of deficiency symptoms and crop biomass.
A split dose of 1.5 kg at 5 leaf followed by 3.5kg 3 weeks later is recommended on maize.
For potatoes apply an initial 4.0kg/ha at tuber initiation followed by 1.5kg/ha with every blight fungicide spray when the canopy is established.
Timings: As with all trace element sprays frequent repeated applications at relatively low rates are preferable to one large dose.
As nutrients are taken in by the foliage sufficient leaf area must be present to absorb the spray. This normally coincides with the 3-leaf stage onwards in most crops.
Applications should be made in the early morning or late evening when the uptake by the plant will be maximised.
Mixing & Spraying:
Water Volumes: Do not apply in less than 200 litres of water per hectare unless the spraying equipment is specifically designed for low volume application (e.g. Airtec or low volume hydraulic nozzles).
DO NOT MIX with hormone weedkillers or mixtures containing hormone weedkillers unless specific recommendations are given.
