Do not apply this tank mix prior to the 4-leaf stage of the cereal crop as temporary crop injury could occur, particularly in spray overlaps.

Wild oat control may be reduced when tank mixed with OcTTain XL
***
The low rate of OcTTain XL is registered for use as a tank mix with Simplicity.
****
The low rate of Simplicity + OcTTain XL is a registered use when wild oat populations are less than 75 wild oats/square metre.

Application Tips
OcTTain XL activity is influenced by weather conditions. Optimum activity requires active crop and weed growth.
The temperature range for optimum activity is 8°C to 24°C. Reduced activity will occur when temperatures are
below 8°C or above 27°C. Frost before application (3 days) or shortly after (3 days) may reduce weed control and
crop tolerance. Weed control may be reduced during stress conditions, e.g. drought, heat or cold stress, or if weeds
have initiated flowering, or if heavy infestations exist. Application before the 4-leaf stage of wheat and barley may
cause severe twisting of leaves and leaf, stem and head deformities, which may reduce, yield up to 10%. Do not
apply later than the flag-leaf stage. Some twisting may be evident on barley. This twisting is transitory and may
disappear within 3 weeks.
