Product information
RAISAN-51 is a general soil fumigant, based on Metam sodium, with fungicide, insecticide, nematicide and herbicide activity. It is a synthesis organic product based on Metam sodium and formulated as a soluble concentrate. When diluted with water it breaks down into an active and volatile compound called methyl isothiocyanate (MIT) which spreads in the soil in the form of gas.
APPLICATION
Apply to soil at 750 to 1200 l/ha. To achieve a good herbicide effect, increase until 2000 l/ha.
To determine a more exact dosage, the following factors should be considered: principal use, type of soil, depth, and type of seal.
- Preparation of the soil: Remove completely all remains of previous plants. The soil should be fairly moist. Till the soil to a depth of 25-30 cm. The temperature between 10 and 25ºC at depth of 10 cm.
- Application methods and sealing: It can be applied by watering or by injection systems. Immediately after treatment, the soil must be sealed to avoid loss of gas. There are different ways: sealing with water, with plastic sheet or compacting the soil.
-Aeration: after the waiting period (15-21 days) the soil should be tilled to assist the remaining gases to escape. The new crop can be planted after 5 or 6 days of aeration. In order to be absolutely certain that there are no phytotoxic residues in the soil, a few lettuces can be planted, which are very sensitive to MIT residue.
PRECAUTIONS
