PRECAUTIONS
Safety in applying chemicals
• DO NOT eat, drink or smoke: when han-
dling the mixture or during application
of the chemical, keep foodstuff far away
from the treated areas. KEEP children
away from the sprayed areas. Remove
children, domestic animals and unpro-
tected people from the treated areas. Do
not allow children or other persons not
necessary for the services to remain in the
chemical handling and application areas.
• APPLY the recommended dosages: The
dosages recommended by the manufac-
turers shall be followed. Any change to
the dosage or calculation error may bring
about serious consequences to the cul-
tivation or the environment. Do not use
chemicals in cultivations which the same
have not been recommended for.
• DO NOT spray with strong winds blow-
ing over the area: Excess wind can cause
many problems. It will prevent the chemi-
cal from reaching its target, causing a poor
distribution of chemical over the cultiva-
tion; it can also carry the sprayed mixture
to water springs, wild animals and the
entire environment. Do not spray if the
wind velocity is higher than 6 mph. Do
not spray in the absence of winds. Such
a situation can cause a thermal reversal.
A good application can be obtained with
winds blowing at 2 to 4 mph velocity, tem-
perature from between 44 and 85°F and
relative air humidity over 55%. Do not
spray against the direction of the wind or
during the day warmest hours.
• WASH the packaging before disposing
the same. When preparing the mixture,
wash the used packaging for about 30 sec-
onds. TO NOT reuse empty packaging;
Even after several washing operations,
chemical packaging still retain residue.
Do not burn empty packaging material.
After washing, render the same unus-
able (pierce the packaging bottom) and
store it at a safe place until the same are
picked up ad recycled.
