| General Instructions |
Directions for Use
For effective disease control a good leaf cover of Barrack Betterstick must be achieved before widespread disease outbreak occurs. To ensure adequate coverage the volume of water applied should be increased as plants grow. The rates suggested are for high volume spraying to run-off. For concentrate spraying adjust dilution rates accordingly.
Mixing
Thoroughly shake or roll the pack several times before opening. Half fill the spray tank with water and with the agitation system running, add the required amount of Barrack Betterstick.
Wetting Agent
Do not use surfactants with Barrack Betterstick unless they are specifically recommended on this label.
Compatibility
Barrack Betterstick is compatible with most commonly used wettable powder insecticides and fungicides. Do not use with Bordeaux mixture or lime sulphur. Do not tank mix with oils or emulsifiable concentrates unless experience has shown the mixture to be physically compatible and non-injurious to the crop. When using Streptomycin, add Barrack Betterstick to the half filled spray tank, top up, and then add Streptomycin.
