PRODUCT LABEL

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

RESTRICTIONS
Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops.

Only use on crops at risk of lodging.

Do not apply if rain or frost is expected or if the crop is wet.

Do not spray crops under stress or to crops suffering from waterlogging, pest attack, disease or frost.

GENERAL INFORMATION
MODDUS is an emulsifiable concentrate formulation containing 250 g/l trinexapac-ethyl. It is a growth regulator for crop height reduction, which can lead to lodging control and yield protection in all varieties of winter wheat, winter and spring barley, winter and spring oats, rye, triticale, durum wheat and ryegrass seed crops.

Treatment may lead to ears remaining erect through to harvest.

CROPS
Winter Wheat
Apply MODDUS at 0.4 l/ha between the leaf sheath erect stage and the flag leaf fully
emerged stage (GS30–39).

Winter Barley
Apply MODDUS at 0.4 l/ha between leaf sheath erect stage and second node detectable stage (GS30–32).
OR
Apply MODDUS at 0.6 l/ha between the flag leaf just visible stage and flag leaf fully emerged stage (GS37–39).

Spring Barley
Apply MODDUS at 0.5 l/ha between the leaf sheath erect stage and the second node detectable stage (GS30–32).

Winter and Spring Oats
Apply MODDUS at 0.4 l/ha between the leaf sheath erect stage and the first node detectable stage (GS30–31).

Rye, Triticale and Durum Wheat
Apply MODDUS at 0.4 l/ha between the leaf sheath erect stage and the second node detectable stage (GS30–32).

Ryegrass Seed Crops
Apply MODDUS at 0.8 l/ha between the leaf sheath erect stage and the first node detectable stage (GS30–31).

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Spray Volume
Apply MODDUS in a minimum of 200 litres water per hectare. Increased water volume may assist spray penetration in larger or denser crop canopies.

Spray Nozzles
A MEDIUM spray quality is preferred for application of MODDUS (see BCPC guidelines). A spray pressure of 2–3 bar is recommended.

Mixing and Spraying
Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume.

Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of MODDUS and continue agitation whilst adding the rest of the water. Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and continue agitation during spraying.

Take particular care to avoid overlapping of spray swaths.

Thoroughly wash all spray and measuring equipment with water and a wetting agent
immediately after use.

PROTECT FROM FROST

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
(a) Operator protection
Engineering control of operator exposure must be used where reasonably practicable in addition to the following personal protective equipment:
WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS) AND SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when handling the concentrate.
However engineering controls may replace personal protective equipment if a COSHH assessment shows they provide an equal or higher standard of protection.
AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH EYES.
WASH HANDS before meals and after work.

(b) Environmental protection
Do not contaminate water with the product or its container. Do not clean application equipment near surface water. Avoid contamination via drains from farmyards and roads.

(c) Storage and disposal
KEEP IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER, tightly closed, in a safe place.
RINSE CONTAINER THOROUGHLY by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add the washings to the sprayer at the time of filling and dispose of safely.

THE (COSHH) CONTROL OF SUBSTANCES HAZARDOUS TO HEALTH REGULATIONS MAY APPLY TO THE USE OF THIS PRODUCT AT WORK
