Our technical team publishes free spray programmes for 24 crops — maize, tobacco, potatoes, citrus, blueberries and more. They are the fastest way to turn a season plan into a purchase list, but they work best when you read them alongside the product literature.
Start with the crop, not the product
Open the guide for your crop first. It sets out the pests and diseases you should expect at each growth stage and what to apply when. Working the other way round — picking a product and looking for a use — is how gaps in a programme appear.
Then check the flyer and the label
Once the guide points you at a product, open its flyer from the catalogue for rates, timing and compatibility, and confirm everything against the label on the pack. Registrations and rates can differ by crop, and the label is the legal document.
Plan resistance management early
Rotating modes of action across a season is far more effective than reacting once resistance shows up. If you are unsure which products share a mode of action, ask us — that is exactly the kind of question our agronomists field every day.
Talk to us before you commit
Field conditions vary. Before you finalise a programme, send it to us or call the office and we will review it against what we are seeing in your area this season.
