Neighbour here routinely goes at 0.3 so nowt to worry about
Could kick myself (moddus cock up)

There is much left to be desired with generics packaging.
Couple of years ago there was a generic Starane and an insecticide in identical containers, with just different coloured caps.
What could possibly go wrong on a farm growing beans?
Moddus destined for oats in a 1L Syngenta bottle looks very similar to Axial, also suppled in a 1L Syngenta bottle.
Not us, (there but for the grace of God) it wiped the field out at 0.1L/ha. A very easy mistake to make

I know some one who put a tank full of round up on wheat thinking it was ccc as the drums were the same

I bet many people have mix up the cans of aviator and siltra.

I predict you will be surprised how little difference its made, doing things like this make for good discoveries for future reference.

Ouch. Bet it didn't lodge though.
maybe worth giving it a dose of croplift, to strengthen it and help It take that dose?

Have deliberately sprayed some
Moddus today. Yes crop is stressed but moving quite fast with warm days and we haven’t seen a frost for two days. We have applied 0.4L Moddus on fertile ground and I really wouldn’t worry about it. Crop will be fine and it may help root development which will be important if it remains dry. What’s going on underground is more important than what’s above ground at the moment.

Interesting you say this. I agree about crops moving fast despite the cold nights.
Plenty of people saying crops aren't growing at the moment due to low temps but I'm surprised how they have changed in height and thickness in a couple of weeks.

Spray contactor I used for a while sprayed modus on my wheat at 1L instead of 0.1.... it was fine. Didn't even realise until I wondered where all the modus had gone.

@willy - I think to prevent a similar error in the future, you should really review forewith your `moddus` operandii.............................

It's a stress response, trying to make sure they mature and reproduce before they die

I've done 0.2L and 0.2L before, I bet the crop lives through it fine. If you had done it later on I'd be a lot more worried. Weather being really peculiar at the moment but crops seem to be moving on steady.
I remember someone getting their decimal point in the wrong place with a fungicide once, going back a bit now, was one of the more obscure fungicides. I told him I reckoned the crop would be fine. It was. His bank balance wasn't though as it was pricey stuff and he had put it on at ten times the rate (Unix??).

I misread the original post, thought the cock-up was adding Amino to the mix 
That depends on what you're trying to kill with it. Ryegrass and susceptible black grass needs a strong dose. That's how resistance builds.
I can get recommendations for aviator and the delivery drivers decide that I don’t need it and replace it with siltra.

I bet that comes fine.
