How to use this drug correctly

It is not difficult to spray with the Comfort fungicide, KS. Its spraying is also allowed with the help of aviation. The peculiarity lies in the preparation of the working fluid from a substance that is actually insoluble in water. This is done in this way:

1. The tank is filled with half the amount of water.
2. The dose of Comfort fungicide is measured and, with the mixer turned on, is injected into the first container.
3. Everything is kneaded for 7-10 minutes.
4. Water is added to the final volume of the working solution.
5. Stir for 5 minutes.
6. Immediately begin to spray, without stopping to mix the contents of the tank.

Seed dressing with "Comfort" is a more complicated process. The best option is moisturizing treatment. Instructions for using the fungicide "Comfort" for dressing:

1. The grain must be cleaned, calibrated, tested for germination energy.
2. Awns are removed from barley.
3. Grains with moisture above 15% are treated 2-3 days before sowing. They especially need fungicide treatment, since an increase in the temperature of the seed at high humidity creates an environment conducive to the activation of fungi.
4. Dry grain can be dressed 3-6 months before use.
5. The working fluid with "Comfort" moistens the surface of the prepared grain.
