Temporary crop injury may be observed when AMS is included for enhanced broadleaf weed control.
Rate
Velocity m3 All-In-One: 0.4 L/acre.
Application Information
How to Apply
:
Apply with ground equipment or by air.
Water volume
:
Ground: minimum of 18.9 L/acre. Air: minimum of 11.3 L/acre.
Application Tips
Under DROUGHT conditions - Do not spray Velocity M3 if time between seeding and spraying exceeds 35 days as
(
drought hastens crop development). Do not spray Velocity M3 three days prior to or following cold temperatures
(3
°C or lower) Do not apply to crops underseeded to legumes. Do not use Velocity m3 if another Group 2 grass
herbicide has been previously applied in the same season. For best results, apply to emerged, young, actively growing
weeds. Weed control may also be reduced if application is made when weeds are dust covered or in the presence
of heavy dew, fog or mist/rain. Do not apply to crop that is under stress due to abnormal environmental conditions
such as frost, extreme heat, low fertility, drought, flooding or disease and/or insect damage as crop injury may result.
Apply only once per season.
How it Works
Thiencarbazone-methyl: Uptake is primarily via foliage and is transported to areas on new shoot growth where it
inhibits the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS). Inhibition of this enzyme prevents protein production, which leads
to gradual death of target weeds.
Pyrasulfotole: Absorbed through leaves and is translocated to meristematic regions where it inhibits the HPPD
enzyme. Pyrasulfotole inhibits plant pigment biosynthesis and photosynthesis. Bromoxynil: Works on contact,
interfering with photosynthesis, disrupting plant growth, which ultimately leads to the plant’s death.
Expected Results
Grass weeds
:
Growth of susceptible plants stops rapidly, and after a few days plants, develop chlorotic
discolouration on the leaves, which sometimes turn red. Complete control may take two to four weeks.
Broadleaf weeds
:
Small burnt spots on leaf can appear in hours. Lack of plant pigments shuts down the
photosynthetic pathway resulting in bleaching symptoms and rapid death, normally in 6 - 14 days.
Restrictions
Rainfall
:
Rainfall within 60 minutes of application may reduce effectiveness.
Grazing restrictions
:
Do not graze the treated crop or cut for forage within 25 days or cut for hay within 30 days of
application.
Pre-harvest Intervals
:
Do not harvest spring or durum wheat for grain or straw within 60 days of application. Do
not harvest winter wheat for grain or straw within 72 days of application.
Re-cropping
:
The following crops can be planted 10 months after application: alfalfa, barley, corn, canary seed,
canola, flax (including low linolenic acid varieties), field peas*, oats, spring and durum wheat, soybeans and
sunflowers. The following crops can be planted 22 months after application: lentils.
*
Field peas may be grown the year following Velocity m3 application in all Black, Gray Wooded and Dark Brown soil zones. DO NOT plant field peas the
year following a Velocity m3 application in the Brown soil zone where organic matter content is below 2.5 % and where soil pH is above 7.5.
Environmental Precautions
