⏱️ When should I spray before frost or rain?
At least 1 hour beforehand, with 2–3 hours of full sunshine afterwards, so the film polymerises properly on the leaves and fruit.
🧪 Does it need a wetting agent? Can I mix it?
No wetting agent is needed. Do not mix it with insecticides or fungicides. For other tank mixes, carry out a small-scale test.
🛡️ Safety measures?
Wear PPE (gloves, goggles or a face shield, and a suitable mask where required). Wash hands and face afterwards, and wash work clothing separately.
