Size: Quart (Ready to Spray)

Directions for Use:

Shake well before use. The hose-end sprayer automatically dilutes the product to control listed diseases at a rate of 1.1 to 2.3 gallons of diluted spray per 1,000 square feet.

For best control, start spraying before the disease is visible or when disease is first visible on the plant. Spray all plant parts thoroughly (top and bottom of leaves), and unless otherwise directed in the crop table, repeat every 7 to 10 days. Use the higher rate to control diseases that may go dormant and overwinter. See application notes for specific crop application intervals. If possible, time applications so that at least 12 hours of dry weather follows application. Re-apply after rain, following crop specific application interval.

Hydroponic Use: Apply as soon as disease appears, or as a preventative spray 2 weeks before disease normally appears. Apply as a foliar spray only. Do not apply directly to the water in hydroponic growing systems. Discarded water from hydroponic growing systems may be used in greenhouses and to water indoor and outdoor container plants and garden areas. Water from these systems is prohibited from being discarded directly into a water source.

Powdery Mildew: Spray the plants at the minimum application interval during the first 2 weeks after emergence.

Downy Mildew, Leaf and Fruit Spots, Blights, Rust: Begin treatment 2 weeks before disease normally appears or when weather forecasts predict a long period of wet weather. Alternatively, begin treatment when disease first appears, and repeat as long as needed.

Fruit Rots: Apply at the start of flowering and unless otherwise directed in the crop table, repeat every 7 to 10 days until harvest. Fungicidal sprays are especially warranted when weather forecasts predict a long period of wet weather.

Hose-End Sprayer Directions:

1. Shake container well before using.
2. Connect a garden hose to the Ready Spray nozzle. Make sure the dial on the nozzle is in the “OFF” position with the safety tab in the valve notch.
3. Turn on the water at faucet. Extend hose to the farthest area to be treated and work back toward the faucet so you don't come in contact with the treated area.
4. To BEGIN spraying, point nozzle toward treatment site and
   1. Bend the safety tab back (located at the right of the yellow dial) with your thumb.
   2. Using your other hand, QUICKLY turn the dial clockwise until it stops. Water will automatically mix with the product.
5. Spray plants thoroughly. Walk at a steady pace while spraying using an even sweeping motion, slightly overlapping treated areas.
6. To STOP spraying, QUICKLY turn the dial in the opposite direction of “ON” until it stops and the safety tab engages the notch on the valve. Turn water off at faucet. To relieve pressure before removing nozzle from hose, bend the safety table back and turn dial “ON” until water stops spraying.
7. To STORE unused product, make sure the dial is in the “OFF” position with safety tab in the valve notch. Place in a cool area away from heat, sunlight, or open flame.
