Evaluation report (Ireland, 2017b): Use rate for grapes is specified as 33.3–50 mg/kg which indicates a max application rate of 50 mg a.s./kg application solution

Assuming an application solution density of 1 kg/L, the application rate is 50 mg a.s./L × (1 g/1,000 mg) × (100 L/1 hL) = 5 g a.s./hL

Application volume is not specified on the label but in practice is ~ 750 L/ha leading to an application rate of 37.5 g a.s./h
