    Before flowering

    Apply 2 L/ha 14 days before flowering to reduce coulure and millerandage.

    Start of flowering

    Apply 2 L/ha at beginning of flowering to reduce coulure and millerandage.

    Fruit-set

    Apply 2 L/ha at early fruit-set to increase bunch volume.

    After fruit-set
