Arma is a blend of a patented fatty amine polymer derived from oilseed rape combined with a sugar-based surfactant. These two major components each have specific roles to play, although their actions are synergistic: Alkoxylated fatty amine The modified fatty-amine polymer provides adhesive properties and ensures that the pesticide penetrates efficiently and rapidly through the wax and cuticle layers into the plant system (usually within 1/2 hour). Polyoxyethylene monolaurate The sugar-based surfactant provides excellent spreading and wetting properties, giving improved distribution of the spray droplet over the plant's leaves and assists penetration as well. Arma also contains a buffer, which gives a neutral spray medium (circa pH 7.0) to reduce the risk of hydrolysis in the spray tank. Arma gives excellent results with both contact & systemic pesticides. KEY BENEFITS OF USING ARMA independently proven to be an excellent performer with both strobilurin and triazole fungicide chemistry - improving both yield and MARGIN/HA; improves the activity of herbicides against larger weeds, especially those which are difficult to control, and can help to widen the 'effective window' of application; enhanced PGR performance, especially at cooler temperatures (@4oC); broad spectrum of activity 'Across the Tank-Mix', especially with T1 and T2 sprays; excellent activity at low temperatures; improves the placement and penetration of crop protection products, ensuring rainfastness; excellent user safety profile - NOT subject to COSHH assessment - plus it's SAFE TO THE CROP, especially in large multi-way tank-mixes; ensures maximum performance in tough conditions; cost effective. WHERE TO USE ARMA Arma is the unique placement and penetrating adjuvant for use in particular with: cereal fungicides, especially with strobilurins (Acanto, Amistar, Opera, Twist, etc.) & triazoles (Alto, Caramba, Folicur, Opus, Pointer, Tilt etc.), where lower rates are used; cereal herbicides, especially with sulfonylurea chemistry such as Ally, DP 911, DP 928, Eagle, Harmony, Monitor, Quantum, etc. (to aid control of larger weeds and those difficult-to-control); cereal plant growth regulators (e.g. 3C, 5C, Cerone, Meteor, Moddus and Terpal), especially when sprays are applied early-on in cold temperatures; oilseed rape triazole fungicides (e.g. Caramba, Folicur). Arma may also be used on a wide variety of other crops, such as linseed (e.g. with Ally), potatoes (e.g. with Titus), grassland situations (e.g. with Starane and Doxstar), etc. Arma can be a replacement for standard non-ionic wetters such as Agral, as well as other penetrants, such as LI-700.

USE In winter and spring cereals: for use with all approved herbicides and tank mixtures containing such products applied at full or reduced rate and all approved timings. for use with all approved fungicides, plant growth regulators and insecticides applied at full rate up to and including G.S. 52 (1/4 inflorescence), and at half the approved pesticide rate thereafter. In other crops: for use with all approved pesticides applied at full rate up to and including the following crop growth stages, and with all approved pesticides applied at half the approved pesticide rate thereafter: Crop/Product To be applied at or before the following crop growth stages: Beans up to and including first pod set (EPPO code 204) Peas up to and including flat pod (EPPO code 205) (non-edible pods only) Edible podded peas up to and including pod set (EPPO code 204) Oilseed Rape up to and including 10% potential pods (code 5.1, Sylvester-Bradley, 1985) Linseed up to and including 10% capsules formed (code 51, Freer 1991) Sugar Beet up to and including 6 fully expanded leaves (EPPO code 23) Maize up to and including tip of tassle visible (EPPO code 53) Brussels sprouts up to and including lateral buds begin to develop Cauliflower up to and including cauliflower heads begin to form; width of growing tip up to 1 cm2 for use with approved pesticides at up to full rate application in non-crop, amenity and forestry situations. Arma also has authorisation for use with all approved pesticides applied at half the approved pesticide rate in all crop and non-crop situations. For specific recommendations consult Interagro (UK) Ltd or its agents.

RATES OF USE Arma should be used at a rate to give a 0.1-0.15% dilution of the final spray volume. For example: Spray volume Dilution Rate of use/ha Area treated/1L 200L/ha 0.1% 200ml 5.00ha 100L/ha 0.1% 100ml 10.0ha

MIXING Half fill the spray tank with clean water and commence agitation. Add the recommended quantity of Arma. Then add the recommended quantity of plant protection product and the remaining balance of water whilst maintaining agitation throughout. If foaming occurs, the addition of Abate (a de-foamer) may be beneficial.

PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD, DRINK AND ANIMAL FEEDING STUFFS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN DO NOT CONTAMINATE SURFACES WATERS OR DITCHES with chemical or used container KEEP IN ORIGINAL CONTAINER, tightly closed, in a safe place WASH OUT CONTAINER THOROUGHLY, and dispose of safely DO NOT RE-USE CONTAINER for any other purpose Follow all operator exposure instructions for the pesticide. To avoid risks to man and the environment, comply with the instructions for use. STATUTORY CONDITIONS RELATING TO USE FOR USE ONLY AS AN AGRICULTURAL, HORTICULTURAL AND FORESTRY WETTING AGENT Maximum rate of use: 0.15% of the final spray solution (e.g. 300ml of product in 200 litres of water per hectare). DO NOT CONTAMINATE SURFACES WATERS OR DITCHES with chemical or used container. DO NOT RE-USE CONTAINER for any purpose. DO NOT USE with any pesticide which is to be applied in or near water. READ ALL PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE USES OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF THE CONTROL OF PESTICIDE REGULATIONS 1986 Arma may be used in tank mixture with trace elements, such as the salts of calcium, copper, manganese, sulphur, etc., and with macro elements such as phosphates to improve coverage and uptake in a wide variety of crops. Arma may also be used as a water conditioner in all spraying situations where hard water is a problem.
