Recommendations

Specific use rates will vary with conditions of application such as water hardness, application method, equipment, spray droplet size, condition of foliage, etc. Smooth, waxy, or hairy foliage will require higher rates.

Also, higher rates than those below may be used if recommended by pesticide labeling. Follow pesticide label directions. However, do not add this product at a rate which exceeds 5% of the finished spray volume.

 

FOR USE AS A SPREADER / STICKER (air or ground):

Use 4-16 fl.oz. per acre. For improved efficacy, use at least 4 fl.oz. per acre when finished spray volume is less than 20 gallons per acre. For backpack or hand held sprayers, use ½ fl.oz. per gallon of finished spray solution.

 

FOR USE WITH SPRAYABLE PHEROMONES (air or ground):

Use at a rate of up to 3% of the finished spray solution. Mix with sufficient water for adequate coverage of the crop according to the pesticide label. Equipment producing larger droplets are preferred, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of BRANDT® UMBRELLA.
