Peas and beans are often referred to in the same breath as they are the most common legume break crop. However from an application point of view the crops are very different as bean canopies are very open in comparison to peas. So larger drops are needed to penetrate the thicker canopies when the crop is at later growth stages.

*Please refer to the product label for water volumes.  Growers can reduce water volumes as long as they adhere to the HSE/DEFRA Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products. Please refer to paragraph 4.6.4, page 81 of the HSE/DEFRA Code of Practice for Using Plant Protection Products.

** In denser crops coverage can be increased by using higher water volumes, do not exceed 200 l/ha.
