When opening the container, preparing the product for use and using the product wear:
- cotton overalls buttoned to the neck and wrist (or equivalent clothing)
- elbow length chemical resistant gloves
- half face piece respirator with organic vapour/gas cartridge or canister

Add the required amount of product directly to the spray tank and mix well. AGADOR mixes completely with water and should not be tank mixed with other fertilisers as it contains an iron chelate.
Non-ionic Surfactants: Use Agral® Spray Adjuvant (600 g ai/L) at 0.42% v/v or 420 mL/100 L spray mix. Alternatively use other non-ionic surfactants (1000 g ai/L formulations) at 0.25% v/v or 250 mL/100 L spray mix.
Water volume
Nematodes: For best results use very coarse droplets (white 08 nozzles) and total application volume of approximately 1000 L/ha. Preferably spray onto wet or dewy grass. Irrigate with 3 to 6 mm of water commencing within 1 hour of application.
Mites: Application volume for Couchgrass Mite should be adequate to ensure thorough and even coverage of the turf leaves and penetration into the crowns. Ideal application volume should be 350 to 500 L/ha. For best results use minimum coarse droplets (eg purple 025 or red 04 nozzles). In higher cut turf (≥15 mm) a significant spray shielding effect can occur, impacting negatively on spray penetration and even coverage at low application volumes.
