A water-soluble herbicide for haulm destruction in potatoes.

Potato
  • DISRUPT 200 SL is a non-selective contact herbicide (HRAC herbicide group code D).
  • DISRUPT 200 SL functions as a desiccant in potatoes (aimed at total haulm destruction).
  • DISRUPT 200 SL has no residual action as it is inactivatedrapidly on contact with the soil (DT50 ranged between 0.4 and 21 days).
  • Extremely fast onset after application.
  • Limits the development of resistance.
  •  Reduces the time from crop maturity to harvest, reduces the spread of late season pests and diseases, aids the planning and control of harvest timing and helps maintain crop quality during storage.
  • The potential risk to leach into ground water is negligible.
  • Rapid uptake by green plant parts (30 minutes after application), thus rainfast 30 minutes after application.
  • Do not apply if haulms show signs of wilting, as tuber damage may occur.
  • Spray only if at least 5 hours sunshine is expected.
  • Ensure good even coverage on the foliage before spraying
  • Do not use muddy water.
  • Avoid application equipment which results in formation of fine spray mist, i.e. mist blowers.
  • Avoid drift onto adjacent crops, as green plant tissue will be damaged by the spray. (Do not spray buds or green parts of any crop).
  • Do not spray in overcast weather.

Desiccation/Haulm destruction

  • Apply 2.0 - 5.0 l/ha DISRUPT 200 SL (Use 200 – 500 l water per hectare).
  • NB Add SUMMIT SUPER at 0.3 % (300 ml in 100 l spray mixture) orVILLA 51 at 0.05 % (50 ml in 100 l
    spray mixture) of the spray solution.
