Registered Tank Mixes
Fertilizers
:
Extra Strength Avadex BW alone or tank-mixed with liquid formulations of Treflan or Rival may be
tank-mixed in a minimum of 36 litres of sprayable fluid fertilizer carrier (such as 28-0-0) per acre as a broadcast
treatment.
Herbicides
:
Extra Strength Avadex BW can be tank mixed with Treflan or Rival herbicide for the control of both
wild oats and wild millet (green and yellow foxtail). This tank mixture can be applied after seeding wheat and barley
only.
How to Apply
Extra Strength Avadex BW can only be applied by ground application. Granular formulations may be applied by air
with attachments designed for applying low volumes of granules (Avadex MicroActiv).
Application Information
Liquid formulations:
Water volume
:
Minimum of 36 L/acre. Pressure: 200 kPa.
Incorporation:
Extra Strength Avadex BW/MicroActiv in conventional tillage systems
:
Two incorporation operations are
necessary for thorough mixing. For application made prior to seeding, incorporation with disc plus harrows or field
cultivator plus harrows is recommended. The second incorporation should be at a right angle to first, with suitable
disc or cultivator type implement. For application made after seeding, shallowly incorporate to a depth of
4 - 5
cm using suitable equipment such as harrow. The second incorporation can be conducted any time prior to crop
emergence. Adjust incorporation equipment to a depth that will not disturb the seed. Do not incorporate more than
5
cm. This can be accomplished by setting the tillage equipment to work the soil no deeper than 7.5 cm - 10 cm.
Shallow incorporation is necessary to prevent dilution of the product, thus decreasing wild oat control and increasing
the risk of crop injury.
