Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product dose | Water volume | Method | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli | 500–1000 g/ha* | 500 L/ha* | Confirm IPL label | 5 days |
| Potato | 500–1000 g/ha* | 500 L/ha* | Confirm IPL label | 21 days |
*Approximate acre equivalents: 202–405 g product and 202 L water. The original hectare rates remain above. Use the chilli row for fruit rot and the potato row for both listed blights.
PHI means the interval between the final treatment and harvest. The two crops have different reference PHIs. Confirm the supplied IPL label’s dose, route and crop-specific waiting period before treatment.
Check the current IPL pack for application method, crop stage, mixing, equipment, repeat interval, maximum applications, re-entry and harvest precautions. No universal tank recipe is supplied.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the crop and target: Check the specific crop and pest or disease before choosing a treatment.
- Read the current pack: Confirm the complete application instructions before mixing or measuring the product.
- Check mixtures and conditions: Do not assume tank-mix compatibility or a fixed rainfast period from the ingredients alone.
- Plan safe handling and harvest: Follow label directions for protective equipment, drift prevention, field entry and harvest.
