Safety DATA SHEET

An emulsifiable concentrate tobacco sucker control agent for the control of sucker growth in flue-cured and air-dried tobacco.

Tobacco
  • Locally systemic sucker-control
  • Apply BACSTOP 330 EC to the top of the plant so that it runs down the stalk into each leaf axil, where it systemically controls the suckers.
  • Top the tobacco plants when they are in the early flowering stage.
  • Top low enough, to ensure that the uppermost tip leaves are fully expanded. Leaves not fully expanded will be damaged.
  • Remove any suckers exceeding 20 mm in length by hand, because unsatisfactory control may occur if suckers exceed this length.
  • Ensure that the tobacco plants are in an upright position thus allowing the diluted emulsion to flow evenly down the stalk to come into contact with every leaf sucker in each of the leaf axils. Suckers that escape treatment should be removed by hand later.
  • Apply the solution immediately after the steps above have been taken.
  • Add 150 ml BACSTOP 330 EC to 10 litres of water.
  • It is essential that the BACSTOP 330 EC is thoroughly mixed with the water to obtain best results.
  • Apply a sufficient amount of the diluted emulsion to each plant, to ensure flow into each leaf axil (approximately 8 to 15 ml per plant).
