Personal Protective Equipment
  • Engineering controls 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. WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (COVERALLS) AND SUITABLE PROTECTIVE GLOVES when applying by hand-held equipment. However, engineering controls may replace personal protective equipment if a COSHH assessment shows they provide an equal or higher standard of protection. WASH HANDS before meals and after work.

Other Restriction of Use

Prevent spray drift on to surrounding areas.
DO NOT apply to turf under heat or moisture stress.
For all applications, avoid spraying within 10m of unmanaged land (including rough grassland) to reduce effects on non-target insects or other arthropods.

Tank mixing

See GreenCast - Art of Application: www.wales tank mixing sequence

Tank mix preparation

Consult and comply with the recommendations of the partner products. Each product should be added separately to the bulk of the water in the spray tank and thoroughly mixed before adding the next chemical.

Implementation particular terms

Always use constant agitation of the sprayer tank during mixing, transportation and application.

Mixing and spraying

Half fill the spray tank with the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of Instrata Elite to the spray tank. Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and continue agitation during spraying.

Tractor-mounted/trailed sprayers: Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume and an even deposit. Half fill the spray tank with the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of INSTRATA ELITE to the spray tank. Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and
continue agitation during spraying. Thoroughly wash all spray equipment with water immediately after use.

Hand-held knapsack sprayers: Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required quantity of INSTRATA ELITE to the tank. Complete filling, mix thoroughly and use immediately.

Wash out containers thoroughly, preferably using an integrated pressure rinsing device, or manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling. Complete filling to the required volume and continue to agitate throughout the spraying operation.

Do not leave the spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (such as during meal breaks or overnight). Make up only the amount of spray required for immediate use.

Thoroughly wash all spraying equipment immediately after use.

Use 3 - 5 litres water/100 m² (equivalent to 300 - 500 litres water/ha) for spot treatments using a hand-held knapsack sprayer.
