HEKTAŞ ERATO®

Method Of Application

PREPARING THE PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCT FOR APPLICATION:
The plant protection product calculated over the recommended dose is first mixed with some water in a separate container. The tank of the sprayer is filled halfway with water. While the mixer of the machine is running, the prepared mixture is added to the tank. Mixing is continued and the tank is filled with water. The mixing process is continued until the application is completed. The amount of water to be used per decare should be 20-40 liters and fan jet nozzles should be used in applications. Applications should be made at cool times of the day, in windless or slightly windy weather conditions. Use the prepared mixture on the same day.

CALIBRATION:
Before the application, the sprayer must be calibrated. In order to determine the amount of water to be used per decare, the tank of the sprayer is filled with water. How much area is wetted with this water is determined and the amount of water to be used in the application is calculated.

CLEANING THE SPRAYING MACHINE:
Immediately after the completion of the application, safely empty the tank of the sprayer. After filling the tank with clean water, run the mixer and spray system to ensure that all parts are washed. Do not wash near water sources. Do not discharge washing water and waste into water sources.

USAGE OF THE PLANT PROTECTION PRODUCT:
HEKTAŞ ERATO® is a systemic herbicide with post-emergence effect and is taken up by the roots and leaves of weeds. Paddy pans should be dried 2 days before the application and 2 days after the application, the outlet openings of the pans should be kept closed and water should be given in a way to provide a water level of 4-5 cm. The quenching process should be limited to only reinforcing the losses that may occur due to leakage for 4-5 days. After the expiry of this period, the outlet openings should be opened and water circulation should be provided. The application should be done with 20-40 liters of water per decare. Fan jet nozzle should be used in applications.

INFORMATION ON RESISTANCE:
The plant protection product named HEKTAŞ ERATO® is a herbicide classified as Group L according to its mechanism of action. Repeated applications of plant protection products with the same mechanism of action encourage the development of resistance. Therefore, in order to delay the development of resistance, do not exceed the total number of applications of HEKTAŞ ERATO® recommended in the same production season. In cases where the application needs to be repeated, pay attention to the use of plant protection products with a different mechanism of action (except for Group L).

COMPATIBILITY: It is recommended to make premix trials before mixing large quantities for application.
