TargetsMaterials are usually chemicals but also hormones or biological material. Targets are what materials are applied for or against. For Botrytis a list of materials is applicable, for example material 4047 (Euparen W.P 50) at a nominal application rate of 2cc/lt. When the Crop is blank, it means this rate is applicable to all crops. A specific crop may have a specific rate.
