Usage recommendations
For storage: Seed deposits should be treated with automatic systems (cold fog generators) before harvest (end of spring). Close the deposit between 24 and 48 hours. The dosing of cold fog generators is based on their type and specification without exceeding the recommended dose on the surface. For good results, treat when empty.
For stored cereals: Seeds should be treated as soon as possible, as they are loaded onto the storage strip. Seeds showing slight moisture should be dried before treatment. If the drying is not done, it may reduce the effectiveness of the treatment by degrading the insecticide. For the best results in using this product, seed moisture should be kept below 15%. If the humidity is higher, the efficacy and duration of action of the product decrease.
Breaking time for grain treatment
14 days after the treatment for the treated grain.
