Application and Use

General rules for Application and Use

ALEOX®-AGRO is a foliar spray (liquid concentrate) that is mixed with water and seamlessly integrated into your regular spray program and applied to plants and crops at very low concentrations.
Application rates vary according to specific crop requirements, management, soil nutrient availability and environmental conditions. Less frequent spraying is recommended for general crop maintenance or when applying multiple times per season.
More frequent spraying is recommended when necessary for crops that require repeat spraying, or when deficiency is present.
The percentage of ALEOX®-AGRO always remain consistent to the amount of water For example, spraying 1 hectare (10,000 square meters) of tomatoes would require 60 ml of ALEOX®-AGRO per 300 liters of water. Spraying 2 hectares (20,000 square meters) of tomatoes would require 120 ml of ALEOX®-AGRO and 600 liters of water.

The ratio of ALEOX®-AGRO to water is always constant for any individual crop.

Be aware of the following information

  • Avoid foliar application in poor drying conditions such as very high humidity, heavy dew set or continually rainy weather.
  • If temperature is expected to exceed 35ºC do not start application as sufficient time must be given for leaves to dry.
  • Exercise caution when applying to any crop during bloom, as many factors can affect fruit set and final fruit quality.
  • ALEOX®-AGRO is compatible with most agricultural chemicals and nutrients should be applied in conjunction with tissue and soil analysis.

Special Conditions


  • Do not pre-mix ALEOX® AGRO with any other tank mix component prior to adding to the spray tank.
  • Always make sure that each tank mixed with other components are completely dispersed before adding the next component.
  • Maintain continuous agitation until all components have been dispersed and throughout the application process.
  • Add wettable powders first, then water dispersible granules, then liquid flowables, and lastly, emulsifiable concentrates.
  • Mix thoroughly and let stand for at least five minutes. If the combination stays mixed or can be remixed, it is physically compatible.
  • Test the mix on a small portion of the crop to be treated to ensure that a phytotoxic response will not occur as a result of the application.

Aerial Application Instructions Apply Aleox® Agro

By aerial application to the Edible Crops listed at the recommended rate with water unless specified differently in the SELECTED CROPS section. Increasing the amount of water applied per hectare may improve product performance; follow all instructions to reduce aerial drift.

Aerial Drift Reduction Advisory Information. General

- Avoiding spray drift at the application site is the responsibility of the applicator. The interaction of many equipment and weather related factors determine the potential for spray drift.
- The applicator and the grower are responsible for considering all these factors when making decisions. Where states have more stringent regulations, they should be observed. Note: This section is advisory in nature and does not supersede the mandatory label requirements. Applying larger droplets reduces drift potential, but will not prevent drift if applications are made improperly, or under unfavorable environmental conditions (see Wind, Temperature and Humidity, and Temperature Inversions).

Wind

- Drift potential is lowest between wind speeds of 2–10 mph. However, many factors, including droplet size and equipment type determine drift potential at any given speed.
- Application should be avoided below 2 mph due to variable wind direction and high inversion potential. NOTE: Local terrain can influence wind patterns. Every applicator should be familiar with local wind patterns and how they affect spray drift.

Temperature And Humidity

- When making applications in low relative humidity, set up equipment to produce larger droplets to compensate for evaporation.
- Droplet evaporation is most severe when conditions are both hot and dry.

Temperature Inversions

- Do not apply during a temperature inversion because drift potential is high. Temperature inversions restrict vertical air mixing, which causes small, suspended droplets to remain in a concentrated cloud. This cloud can move in unpredictable directions due to the light variable winds common during inversions.
- Temperature inversions are characterized by increasing temperatures with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. They begin to form as the sun sets and often continue into the morning. Their presence can be indicated by ground fog; however, if fog is not present, inversions can also be identified by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions) indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
