Safety DATA SHEET

A growth regulant with contact action for the control of tobacco suckers.

Tobacco
  • Contact-type sucker-control chemicals contain "fatty" alcohols (FA) as the active ingredient.
  • Effectively controls sucker growth, redirecting energy to leaves instead of flowers/suckers for improved yield and quality.
  • DECANOL EC should give good sucker control for at least 3 weeks with a single application. Since the treated suckers do not grow vigorously, a single hand suckering after treatment should suffice. (A second hand suckering may be necessary to remove any suckers passed over).
  • Top the tobacco plants when they are in early flowering stage.
  • Immediately remove any suckers over 20 mm in length by hand.
  • Apply DECANOL EC before the suckers have reached a length of 20 mm.
  • 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 sucker in each of the leaf axils.
  • Apply the solution as soon as possible, after the above steps have been taken, preferably within two days.
  • Do not apply if the plants are wet due to rain or dew. Wait for plants to dry before treating. Rainfall within two hours of application will reduce the effectiveness.
  • Do not apply in the middle of the day in very hot weather when temperatures exceed 30 °C, as leaf scorching may occur.
  • Do not apply to wilted plants.
  • Injury may occur if the solution is applied to the underside of the leaf, thus leaves must be turned over before application.
  • Stop application by knapsack sprayer if the wind speed exceeds 15 km per hour.
  • In order to obtain the best results, it is important that the water be added to the DECANOL EC rather than the DECANOL EC to the water.
  • DECANOL EC should be diluted at the rate of 1 part of DECANOL EC to 24 parts of water.
  • Depending on the size of the plants, apply 10 to 15 ml of this mixture per plant.
