2. When treating whole blocks, a row or two, that
receives no spray drift, should be left untreated (ie
an untreated control) so that the level of thinning
response due to Ralex can be clearly quantified.
3. Growers should keep accurate records of date of
application, rates and volume of spray applied,
temperature and relative humidity at time of
application, and the level of thinning response
obtained.
4. Growers need to decide what level of thinning best
suits their operations, and then apply the rate that
results in this level of thinning. Experience over
several years will identify this rate.
Precise determination of levels of thinning are
necessary and are best recorded using the
methodology appropriate for your crop (ie
blossom counts; quadrant counts).
PROTECTION OF CROPS, NATIVE AND OTHER
NON-TARGET PLANTS
DO NOT apply under weather conditions, or from
spraying equipment, that may cause spray to drift onto
nearby susceptible plants/crops.
PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE, FISH, CRUSTACEA
AND ENVIRONMENT
DO NOT contaminate streams, rivers or waterways
with chemical or used containers.
STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
Keep out of reach of children. Store in the closed,
o
original container in a dry, cool (below 30 C), well-
ventilated area out of direct sunlight.

preferably pressure rinse containers before disposal.
Add rinsings to spray tank.
Do not dispose of
