Application Advice
Tank mixing |
Velista may be tank-mixed or rotated with other fungicides such as Headway®, Banner Maxx II®, or Heritage Maxx® as part of a resistance management program. Avoid mixing with incompatible products. |
|---|---|
Tank mix preparation |
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water. Add the required amount of Velista® while agitating. Continue filling the tank with water to the desired volume while maintaining agitation. |
Implementation particular terms |
Apply preventively when conditions favor disease development. For curative use, apply at higher label rates. For root zone diseases, water in immediately after application. |
Mixing and spraying |
Apply evenly using ground spray equipment. Ensure complete turf coverage without runoff. Maintain constant agitation during spraying. Rainfast once foliage has dried. |
Water volume |
200–400 L/ha (depending on turf density and sprayer type) |
Rate of Use |
Typically 2.1 kg/ha (equivalent to 0.3–0.7 oz/1000 sq. ft) Adjust based on disease pressure and target species. |
Stewardship
| Type | Title | Description |
