NOTE
Besides the generally valid information listed

specific procedures described in the instructions
for use of the crop protection agents!
¾
Pay attention to the prescribed water and
preparation application quantities as per
instructions for use for the crop protection
agent.

case subtract the technical, undiluted residual
quantity in the spraying boom from the calcu-
lated refill quantity.

In this context see chapter "Filling table
for residual areas"
¾
Thoroughly rinse out emptied preparation
containers (e.g. with canister flushing agent)
and mix in the flushing water to the spraying
mixture!
