CHITOPROTECT is used as preventive or curative: The sooner it is applied before the contamination, the more efficient it will be.
In case of high risk, it is recommended to reduce the treatment interval to 10 days.
For a curative application, the recommended dose per hectare can be doubled.

CHITOPROTECT is compatible with most of the treatment and thus can be applied in mixture with biocontrol agents or authorised plant protection products except those based on copper. In case of mixture, the user is responsible for respecting all the precautions for use and the use instructions mentioned on the labelled and the use instructions provided by the manufacturer of each product. The mixtures must be used in accordance with the applicable regulations. It is strongly recommended to perform a physical compatibility test prior to any mixing.

ZNT/DAR/DRS/RPD: Exempted.
