- Turbo 1:1 is added first — the tank filling order
Overview
About this product
Medax Top is a growth regulator with mepiquat chloride 300 g/L and prohexadione-calcium 50 g/L in a suspension concentrate. The product is systemic: it regulates the growth of wheat and barley against lodging and promotes root system development and productive tillering.
The rate is 0.5–1.5 l/ha, up to two treatments: at the start of stem elongation and when the flag leaf appears, and on crops thinned after overwintering 0.5 l/ha from three leaves to mid-tillering. Winter oilseed rape and sunflower are treated at 0.5–1.0 l/ha.
Turbo (ammonium sulphate) is added to the tank first, 1:1.
