Notes    
ü During  the  fungicide/insecticide  sprays  on  Tomatoes  and  Peppers,  it  is  advisable  to  incorporate  Aquawet  10  SL  (Nolyphenol  Ethoxylate  SL)  
which  is  wetting/spreading  agent  in  the  mixture.  
ü During  dryness  use  Green  miracle  (fatty  Acid  nutrients)  to  reduce  water  loss  by  the  leaves  during  warm  hot  weather.  
ü For  insecticidal  sprays  ensure  you  mix  the  insecticides  with  NIMBECIDINE  for  best  results.  
ü During  harvesting  use  short  P.H.I  products.e.g  Atom
