Just wondering what other guys are doing with regard to (reducing) volumes. What are most people spraying at for fung and PGRs?
spray volumes

Here I use 100 l/ha for most products & mixes except pre harvest glyphosate in osr @ 150 l/ha. Reglone for the same job at least 200 l/ha. Potato blight sprays into a big crop canopy should be 200 l/ha+
I'm a bit nervous that a sharp cross compliance inspector might query it but I have never heard of anyone having their SFP reduced because of it.
Most branded products have risk assessments on the manufacturers' websites that permit low volume application. If you halve the dose you can halve the application volume unless the label specifcally says don't reduce water volumes or the label says Toxic, Very Toxic or Dangerous To Eyes. There was thread on this very subject concerning Airtec sprayers a while ago. Or was it on BFF? I can't remember now.
