Cotton
Cotton sits in the leaf-curl belt, so Zillon runs from 12-15 days after sowing (12-15 DAS). The rest of the programme is built from label schedules: Setall for retention and boll set, Winstop against vegetative runaway, Stasis for stress. Rates as on the product labels; check with our farm specialist before you spray.
