How it Works
Absorbed through foliage. Inhibits cell elongation.
Expected Results:
Weeds
:
Growth stops immediately. Discolouration of dying weeds may not be noticeable for 1 - 3 weeks after
application depending on growing conditions and weed species. Poor results may be expected if there is improper
mixing, timing, coverage or when weeds are under drought stress.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Rainfall within 1 hour of application may lessen weed control.
Grazing
:
Barley, wheat and oats may be grazed or fed to livestock 7 days after application of Refine SG.
Re-cropping
:
Do not plant any crop until 2 months after application. There are no restrictions on next crop year.
Note: Do not exceed a total of 12 g/acre per crop year for Refine SG.
Environmental Precautions
Refine SG is toxic to aquatic organisms and non-target terrestrial plants. Follow label buffer zones between
application areas and sensitive habitat. For ground applications, maintain a 15 metre buffer zone near shelterbelts,
wetlands, sloughs or dry slough borders and woodlots. For aerial applications, leave a 1 metre buffer around aquatic
habitats.
Runoff
:
Avoid contamination of aquatic and sensitive terrestrial habitats.
Drift
:
Observe buffer zones specified under Directions for Use on the label.

Crops and Staging
Crop
Staging
Beans (Adzuki, red and white), soybeans
Apply when 80 - 90% natural leaf defoliation and when at least 80% of the pods have
turned yellow.
Canola*
Apply when 90% seed has turned brown. Increased level of green seed may result
from earlier applications when seed is not properly advanced.
Chickpeas
Desi Type: Apply when the majority of plants are yellow and most pods are mature
and seeds have turned from green to yellow or brown.
Kabuli Type: Apply when the majority of plants and pods are ripe and dry with seeds
turned from green to white or tan and detached from the pods.
Flax, solin
Apply when 75 percent of bolls turn brown (normal swathing time).
Fababeans
Apply when 80 - 90% natural leaf defoliation and when at least 80% of the pods have
turned yellow.
