General Instructions
General Information
REGALIS XTRA is plant growth regulator, which acts within the plant by inhibiting the hormones gibberellin and ethylene. REGALIS XTRA application will reduce shoot growth leading to less pruning in apples. These effects lead to production gains.
Mixing
Add the required amount of REGALIS XTRA directly into the partly filled spray tank with agitation operating. Complete filling and maintain agitation until spraying is complete.
Adjuvants
Not normally required.
Spray Water Condition
The spray solution must be mixed and used on the day of application. REGALIS XTRA REGALIS performance is impaired in calcium rich (> 100 mg/kg Ca) spray solutions. In these situations the use of a suitable conditioning agent to bind the calcium, such as spray grade ammonium sulphate at 0.25%, is recommended.
Compatibility
REGALIS XTRA can be tank mixed with most commonly used fungicides and insecticides. The label instructions for the tank mix partner take precedence ahead of the REGALIS XTRA instructions. Always use a surfactant unless the label instructions for the partner product recommends not to. Do NOT mix REGALIS XTRA with calcium products or Solubor?. At least 3 days should separate a REGALIS XTRA application from any thinning, gibberellin, calcium or Solubor applications.
Thinning
REGALIS XTRA may in some instances suppress natural fruit drop in spring. Careful attention to thinning requirements is recommended, and suitable action taken.
Application Weather Condition
Application under slower drying conditions gives better results than under fast drying conditions, but do not apply if rainfall is likely within eight hours of treatment.
Spillage
Prevent further spillage and product from entering waterways. Wear overalls, gloves, footwear and goggles. Sweep and shovel up spill and place in sealable container labelled for disposal. Avoid dust formation. Wash affected area with water and detergent. Absorb and collect washings and place in the same sealable container as the spilled material. Dispose of the waste safely in suitable landfill.
Personal Protection
When mixing and preparing spray, wear cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist, a washable hat, suitable gloves and goggles.
