Application Information
How to Apply
:
With: Ground equipment.
Water volume
: 40
L/acre.
Application Tips
Ensure thorough and uniform spray coverage over the entire leaf area of the target weeds. When weeds are stressed
due to drought, flooding or prolonged hot or cool temperatures (15°C or less), control can be reduced or delayed. Do
not spray FlaxMax DLX if temperatures of +5°C or lower are forecasted within 3 days of application. Weed escapes
may occur under prolonged stress conditions or low fertility. Do not make applications to weeds stressed longer than
20
days due to lack of moisture as unsatisfactory control can result.
How it Works
Tepraloxydim is a contact and systemic herbicide. Uptake is primarily through the leaves, and thorough coverage
of foliage is important for consistent control. Susceptible annual grasses stop growing and slowly turn brown.
Clopyralid is a growth regulator type of herbicide, which is primarily absorbed through the foliage and is translocated
to all parts of the plant causing leaves and stems to twist, yellow and then die. MCPA is a systemic herbicide for
broadleaf weeds that is translocated throughout the plant causing rapid undifferentiated growth, which usually results
in the death of susceptible weeds.
Expected Results
Grasses
:
Susceptible annual grasses stop growing and slowly turn brown. Complete control takes 7 - 21 days.
Broadleaf weeds: Weeds start to twist after spraying; after twisting and bending, plants turn brown and die. Difficult
to control weeds such as Canada thistle and wild buckwheat stop growing, change colour to dark green and then turn
yellow before they die. Death may not occur for 14 - 21 days after application. Some weak Canada thistle regrowth
may occur by the end of the season.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Do not apply if rain is forecast within 6 hours of application.
Pre-harvest interval
:
Canola, Clearfield canola, Clearfield lentil, lentils, field peas and flax - 60 days.
Grazing interval
:
Field peas may be used for grazing following the 60 day pre-harvest interval. Do not graze other
treated crops or cut for feed prior to crop maturity.
Re-cropping
:
Fields previously treated with FlaxMax DLX herbicide can be seeded to wheat, barley, oats, rye, corn,
flax, canola, sugar beets, mustard, or they should be summerfallowed. Field peas can be grown the following year
(10
months after application). Do not seed to crops other than those listed above for at least one clear year following
treatment.
Re-entry
:
Do not enter treated areas until residues are dry.
Environmental Precautions
This product is moderately to highly toxic to aquatic organisms. Avoid contamination of aquatic systems during
application. Do not contaminate these systems through direct application, disposal of wastes or cleaning of
equipment.
