Application Information
With
:
Apply with ground sprayers or by air.
Water volume
:
Ground application: 40 L/acre. Aerial application: 12 L/acre (minimum).
Application Tips
In winter wheat, spray winter annuals as soon as growth begins in spring. Use the 600-mL/acre rate when weeds
are not actively growing due to extended periods of hot and dry, or cold and wet, weather prior to or following
application or when weeds are beyond the 3-leaf stage or for heavy weed infestation. Do not let contents stand for
long periods in the tank. Agitate every 8 hours.
How it Works
A combination of 3 systemic hormonal herbicides that accumulate in the growing point of susceptible plants, produce
abnormal growth and disrupt the transport system in plants.
Expected Results
Weeds
:
Can take up to 7 - 14 days depending on weather and growing conditions. Leaves curl, leaf edges turn brown,
petioles twist, plant ceases growth and turns brown and dies.
Crop
:
Improper or untimely application can result in abnormal bending at the nodes of grain stalks, difficulty in
head emergence from sheath, curled awns, malformed kernels and sterile florets. Under certain conditions, straw
shortening may occur but yield will not be affected. Poor results may be expected if there is poor coverage, or weeds
are too advanced.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Rainfall within 3 hours will reduce activity.
Grazing
:
Do not graze within 7 days of application, and do not cut for forage or hay within 30 days.
Pre-harvest Intervals
:
Leave at least 60 days from application to harvest.
Re-cropping
:
Cereal and broadleaf crops can be grown the year following application.
