How it Works
Flucarbazone-sodium is a systemic herbicide that is absorbed by both leaves and roots and moves rapidly to the
growing point of the plant.
Expected Results
Growth of susceptible plants stops soon after application. Symptoms include discolouration (yellowing, reddening
and purpling), and complete control may take 1 to 2 weeks.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Do not apply if it is raining or if rainfall is expected within one (1) hour after application.
Grazing
:
Do not graze treated fields or use green crop for feed. Wheat grain or straw from harvested treated fields
may be fed to livestock.
Pre-harvest Interval
:
Observe minimum interval to harvest of 80 days after treatment.
Re-cropping
:
The following crops may be planted 11 months after an application of Everest.

Field peas can be successfully grown the year following an Everest application providing the following three criteria are all met:
1.
Soil pH must be below 7.5.
2.
Organic Matter content must be above 4%.
3.
Precipitation must be equal to or above the 10 year average (minimum 100 mm within 60 days of application in year of application).
Environmental Precautions
Do not allow this chemical to drift onto other crops, especially canola, tame oats, or other non target crops.
Toxicity
Low acute mammalian toxicity. Acute oral LD

(
rats) = >5,000 mg/kg.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry place. Everest 70 WDG is not affected by freezing. Everest 2.0/Sierra 2.0 require heated storage.
