MODE OF USE AND TIMING :

Before application, soil must be well tamed. Then, the dosage recommended must be applied 1-2 days or immediately before the saplings are planted in the field. If application is made with pulverisers pulled by tractor, the calibration must be made using 60-80 litres by decare and then dispersing it on the surface of the soil. Immediately after, the soil must be tamed or irrigated so that the product dips 10-15 cm into the soil. As it is prejudicial that the product gets in contact with the skin, back pulveriser must not be used or preventive measures must be taken. The product efficiency lasts for 2-4 months. On the other hand, it is not necessary to use other products to make the control of under soil pests.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT :

EPIRUS Crop Protection Product is a nematicide  classed Group 1-B according to its mechanism of action. Repeated applications of the same group of crop protection products lead to resistance development. For this reason, do not exceed the number of recommended applications of EPIRUS during the same season in order to avoid resistance development. In case applications need to be repeated, pay attention to use crop protection products with a different mechanism of action (apart from those of Group 1-B).
