Registered Tank Mixes
Herbicides:
In CLEARFIELD canola only
:
Lontrel 360 at 84 mL/acre or Lontrel Dry Soluble Granular at 40 g/acre.
In CLEARFIELD canola and CLEARFIELD oilseed mustard
:
Equinox (54 to 81 mL/acre).

Application Information
Rate
: 244
mL/acre (40 acres per case).
With
:
Apply with ground equipment only.
Aerial Application
:
DO NOT apply by air.
Water Volume
: 20
to 40 L per acre.
Application Tips
Use a combination of nozzles and pressure designed to deliver thorough, even coverage and a minimum of fine
droplets that are prone to drift.
DO NOT spray if temperatures of +5
°
C are forecast within 3 days of application. Treat crops during warm weather
when weeds are actively growing and soil moisture is adequate for rapid growth. Under cool or dry conditions,
control of some weeds may be severely reduced.
How it Works
Ares is absorbed by foliage and roots and disrupts plant metabolism, causing growth to stop. Maximum efficacy
results from foliar applications to young, actively growing plants.
Expected Results
Susceptible weeds may stop growing within 24 - 48 hours. Yellowed growing points, yellow striping and purplish
or reddish discolouration of the leaves may occur. Leaves begin to die in 3 - 10 days, starting with the youngest and
moving to the older leaves. Death of the plant may occur in 1 - 3 weeks.
Restrictions
Apply Ares only once per year. DO NOT enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry
interval (REI) of 12 hours.
Rainfall
:
Avoid application when heavy rain is forecast.
Grazing
:
Not specified.
Pre-harvest Interval
:
DO NOT apply within 60 days of harvesting CLEARFIELD canola and CLEARFIELD
oilseed Brassica juncea.
Re-cropping Restrictions
:
Field peas, lentils, CLEARFIELD canola, canaryseed, oat, barley, field corn, chickpeas
and spring wheat may be seeded the first full season after application. Flax, canola, durum wheat and sunflower may
be seeded the second full season after application. The company recommends that a field bio-assay (a test strip grown
to maturity) be conducted the year before growing any crops other than those listed above.
