DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT : This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must
be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of the product.
General Information
Fazor should be used on second early and maincrop varieties
not being used for seed as part of an integrated programme
for the control of volunteer potatoes in succeeding crops.
Fazor will also suppress sprouting in all potato varieties in
store. The length of control achieved in a given season will
be a function of several factors including variety, growing
conditions, application conditions and accuracy, length of
storage period and conditions during storage period.
WARNINGS
Overlapping of spray swaths should be avoided. Some reduction
in effectiveness will occur if rain occurs or if irrigation is applied
within 24 hours of application. Do not use under drought
conditions, when the temperature exceeds 26°C, or when the crop
is under stress from other factors e.g. diseases or insect damage,
to ensure maximum uptake and translocation. Do not mix with
strongly alkaline sprays or those containing copper compounds.
Although Fazor is non-volatile no drift should be permitted onto
nearby crops.
Rate of Use
5.0 kg in 350 to 500 litres water per hectare.
Compatibility: Best results are achieved when Fazor is applied
on its own.
IM
Spray Quality: For all the following crops apply as a MEDIUM
spray as defined by the BCPC system.
Timing
Application should be made to the actively growing foliage
when the smallest tubers required to reach marketable size will
be not less than 25 mm long and starting to expand. Typically
this will be 3 to 5 weeks before haulm destruction but may
occur earlier. The most important factors are the number of
tubers required to reach marketable size and the health of the
haulm. Do not desiccate or haulm destruct within 3 weeks of
applying Fazor. For optimum results, the crop condition should
be as follows:
Flowering
The last few flowers may still be apparent but most of the
blossom will already have fallen.
Haulm
Haulm health and tuber size are the two most important factors
to bear in mind when applying Fazor. A few of the lowest leaves
may be turning yellow but the haulm must be predominantly
green and actively growing, and free from stress, disease and
insect attack.
Tubers
Sample plants should be dug at random to examine tuber size
and number before deciding to spray. Tubers less than 25 mm
long will stop growing after application, so only the tubers
which are larger than this at application will be harvested.
EN
Mixing: Steadily pour the required quantity of Fazor in to a
three-quarter filled spray tank with continuous agitation, then
add the remaining water whilst maintaining agitation. Continue
agitation for a further 5 minutes or until the product is fully
dispersed in the spray tank. Continue agitation during spraying.
Ensure that all spraying equipment is thoroughly washed out
immediately after use.
Rate of Use
3.5 to 4.0 kg in 500 to 600 litres water per hectare. The high rate
of Fazor may give better sprout control and must be used for
long term storage.
Timing
Apply at 10-30% necking and not later than 50% necking, when
tops are still green. This stage usually occurs about 10 days to 2
weeks before harvest. Do not apply less than one week before
harvest.
POTATOES
Warnings
Do not use on seed or first early potatoes, or potatoes intended
for use as seed.
Occasional injury to the terminal growth has been observed
following the application of Fazor. Varieties with vigorous haulms
and late maturing foliage, e.g. Cara, may be particularly prone to
such damage. Growers should regularly inspect treated tubers
in store. Treatment with a secondary sprout suppressant may
be required at the first signs of sprouting. Uneven or excessive
application (such as overlapping spray swaths) may result in
reduced efficacy and physiological disorders such as rose end*
cracking and/or thick skins on potatoes. * i.e. the end where most
eyes occur.
Note: Application five weeks before haulm destruction has
been shown to give better sprout control than the later timing
of three weeks before haulm destruction.

CROP SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATIONS
ONIONS: Sprout inhibition
Warnings
Do not spray onions earlier than two weeks before maturity
or spongy bulbs may result. Green tops are essential for the
absorption of Fazor and its translocation to the bulb. A minimum
of 4 days must elapse between treatment and topping. Use only
on varieties with good keeping qualities. Premature application
may increase the incidence of browning of the growing point if
dormancy breaks in store.
