Application rates and usage

​​Agrochemicals - NZ

Application

Granit can be applied both via ground and aerial application methods. A minimum spray water rate of 60lt/ha is recommended. Agitation must be maintained at all times. Avoid spray overlapping and use caution when starting slowing or stopping as injury to the crop may result. Use spray mixture within 24 hours of preparation as spray degradation may occur.
 

Mode of action

Absorbed through the foliage and causes a disruption in cell division. Susceptible plants cease growth immediately. Symptoms of plant death may not be noticeable for 7-21 days after application.
