As a Dust:

Control of disease

depends

upon thorough and complete

application

(a thin, uniform film) to both tops

and undersides

of leaves. Small canisters

may be used as a duster by partially

crushing and rapidly squeezing

the sides

in upright position,

or use a good pressure

duster

. Application

when wind is very light or absent, usually

early morning or evening, will prevent drift and loss of product to adjacent areas.
