with Prosper. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Bayer for the latest information on

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
Mixing/Application
Half fill the spray tank or vat with clean water. Then add the required amount of Prosper with agitator going
and top up the tank with water. Agitate thoroughly prior to and during spraying.
Grapevines
Dilute Spraying
♦ Use a sprayer designed to apply high volumes of water up to the point of run-off and matched to the crop
being sprayed.
♦ Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy. Apply sufficient
water to cover the crop to the point of run-off. Avoid excessive run-off.
♦ The required water volume may be determined by applying different test volumes, using different settings
on the sprayer, from industry guidelines or expert advice.
♦ Add the amount of product specified in the Directions for Use table for each 100 L of water. Spray to the
point of run-off.
♦ The required dilute spray volume will change and the sprayer set up and operation may also need to be
changed, as the crop grows.
Concentrate Spraying
♦ Use a sprayer designed and set up for concentrate spraying (that is a sprayer which applies water
volumes less than those required to reach the point of run-off) and matched to the crop being sprayed.
♦ Set up and operate the sprayer to achieve even coverage throughout the crop canopy using your chosen
water volume.
♦ Determine an appropriate dilute spray volume (See Dilute Spraying above) for the crop canopy. This is
needed to calculate the concentrate mixing rate.
♦ The mixing rate for concentrate spraying can then be calculated in the following way:
EXAMPLE ONLY
1. Dilute spray volume as determined above: For example 1500 L/ha
3
Prosper
2. Your chosen concentrate spray volume: For example 500 L/ha
3. The concentration factor in this example is: 3 X (i.e. 1500 L ÷ 500 L = 3)
4. As the dilute label rate is 60 mL/100 L, then the concentrate rate becomes 3 x 60, that is 180
mL/100 L of concentrate spray.
♦ The chosen spray volume, amount of product per 100 L of water, and the sprayer set up and operation
may need to be changed as the crop grows.
♦ Do not use a concentrate rate higher than that specified in the Critical Comments.
♦ For further information on concentrate spraying, users are advised to consult relevant industry
guidelines, undertake appropriate competency training and follow industry Best Practices.
Barley
Ground application:
Monitor the crop regularly for symptoms of disease. Generally spray at the first sign of disease. This will
depend on factors such as expected weather conditions and the particular crop variety resistance. Up to two
sprays of Prosper may be applied per season to the crop. Ensure good coverage of all susceptible plant
parts. Apply product using a spray volume of 70 – 100 L/ha and a MEDIUM spray quality as defined by the
ASABE S572 Standard.
