It is sprayed as a very fine mist over the foliage, at sunrise or shortly after, in dry weather, right after stirring. Do not apply just before or after rain, nor on seedlings or recent grafts.

Dose: Indicative: about 4 g in 25 to 50 litres of water per hectare (a pinch for a small vegetable garden).
