PCS No. 04059

005-010_Acrobat MZ - Eire 24/04/2014 11:59 am Page 5

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label.All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe andsuccessful use of this product.

1. Restrictions/WarningsFor professional use only.

1.1 Processed cropsConsult processors before use on bulb onions, shallots or garlic for processing.

1.2 Succeeding CropsFollowing application of Acrobat MZ in bulb onion, shallots or garlic allow 5 months before sowing clover.

2. Disease controlAcrobat MZ is a fungicide with a combination of protectant, translaminar and locally systemic activity for the control of downy mildew (Peronospora destructor) in bulb onions, shallots and garlic. Acrobat MZ will be most effective when applied as a protectant programme before disease symptoms appear, or in accordance with appropriate disease monitoring and forecastingsystems following periods of high infection risk.

2.1 ResistanceAcrobat MZ contains a mixture of mancozeb (a dithiocarbamate fungicide) anddimethomorph (a CAA fungicide).

To minimize the risk of resistance developing, and in line with current FRAG-UK advice to use effective doses, use Acrobat MZ at the recommended rate.

Acrobat MZ should be used in accordance with current FRAC and FRAG-UK advice for CAA compounds, as follows:

- In bulb onions, shallots and garlic CAA fungicide applications should not make up more than half of the total number of intended downy mildew sprays per season.

- No more than three consecutive applications of a CAA fungicide should bemade in any crop.

Acrobat MZ should be applied in a programme containing fungicides with different modes of action.

When fungicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, naturally occurring less sensitive strains may survive, propagate and become dominant in that field. It is therefore advised that wherever possible spray programmes should include fungicides with differing modes of action. Acrobat MZ contains active substances with two different modes of action. For further advice on resistance management contact your agronomist or specialist advisor and/or visit the FRAG-UKwebsites.

# Application of Adexar to ears of wheat can lead to reduction of the levels of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) associated with Fusarium ear blight infection, but this level of effect may not necessarily lead to reduction of DON below the statutory limit in wheat grain.

Resistance

Adexar should be used in accordance with the instructions for use for the targetdiseases at the specific growth stages indicated.

Use Adexar as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategyincorporating other methods of control.

You must not apply more than two foliar applications of products containingcomplex II inhibitors to any cereal crop.

Strains of certain cereal diseases with decreased sensitivity to triazolefungicides are known to exist. Where these occur or develop Adexar may notgive satisfactory control.

Adexar contains epoxiconazole, a DMI fungicide. Resistance to some DMIfungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch (Mycosphaerellagraminicola) which may seriously affect the performance of some products. Forfurther advice on resistance management in DMIs contact your agronomist orspecialist advisor and visit the FRAG-UK website.

DIRECTIONS FOR USEIMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructionswithin this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful useof this product.

Aramo is a systemic herbicide for the post-emergence control of a range of grassweeds, including black-grass, annual meadow-grass, wild oats, sterile brome andcommon couch as well as cereal volunteers.

Only weeds which have emerged at the time of application will be controlled. Theoptimum timing is when weeds are small (before tillering) and have not yet begun tocompete with the crop. This is particularly important when blackgrass is the main targetweed and resistance may be suspected.

Aramo is absorbed by the leaves of grass weeds and is translocated through the plantto the growing point at the base of the plant resulting in stem and root tissue decay.Foliar death is evident 3-4 weeks after application under warm moist conditions. Coolconditions will slow down activity and very dry conditions will inhibit translocation ofthe herbicide to the growing point, resulting in reduced activity.

Aramo can be used on all soil types.

1.1 For professional use only.

1.2 Processors or contract agents should be consulted before using on crops grownfor processing or for seed.

1.3 Prevent drift onto other crops and plants outside of the target area, especiallysusceptible types such as cereals and grasses or severe damage may result.

1.4 Apply within the recommended growth stages when weeds are actively growingfor best results. Drought, cool conditions, stress or other negative factors canreduce effectiveness by interfering with uptake and translocation of Aramo.

1.5 DO NOT apply to crops which are damaged or stressed from factors such asprevious herbicide treatments, or pest or disease attack.

1.6 DO NOT spray if rain or frost is expected, nor if the foliage is wet.

1.7 Aramo must only be applied via conventional ground sprayer, not via knapsacksprayers.

1.8 Ensure that the sprayer is free from previous chemical residues which may harmthe crop. Use of a detergent cleaner is advised before and after use.

1.9 Before using on land taken out of production as part of a grant aided scheme,ensure compliance with the management rules of that scheme.

1.10 DO NOT overlap spray swaths. This is particularly important for winter oilseedrape and bulb onions as crop damage and reduced yields could result.

1.11 DO NOT use on oilseed rape crops with very low vigour and poor yield potential.

1.12 Sequences with other products:

Aramo may follow the application of pre-emergence treatments to any cropprovided that the crop is undamaged.

Oilseed rape (winter), Peas, Sugar Beet and Fodder Beet, Linseed and Flax,Field Beans: When used in sequence with other post-emergence treatments inthese crops, care should be taken to allow at least 14 days betweenapplications. A crystal violet test should be carried out in peas before theapplication of Aramo.

Oilseed rape (winter) and Bulb Onions: Care must be taken when using Aramoin sequence with other products to ensure that crops have sufficient waxcovering before application of Aramo and are not suffering from the effects ofany previous treatment. If any doubt exists, the application should be delayed.

2. WEED CONTROL2.1 Susceptibility of grass weeds to single applications of Aramo

SPECIES RATE OF TIMING OFAPPLICATION APPLICATION

Volunteer Barley 1.0 litre per hectare 2 fully-expanded(includes cover crops) leaves until before theWild Oats pseudo-stem erect

stage (GS30).

Volunteer Wheat 1.0 litre per hectare 2 fully-expandedSterile Brome leaves until the weeds

have five tillers.

Black-grass* 1.0 litre per hectare Autumn: 2 fullyexpanded leaves until the weeds have fivetillers.†Spring: 2 fully expanded leaves up to and including theend of tillering.

Annual Meadow-grass 1.5 litres per hectare 2 fully expanded (autumn applications)† leaves until before

weeds have 3 tillers.

Annual Meadow-grass 1.5 litres per hectare 2 fully expanded (spring applications) leaves until before

weeds have 5 tillers.

Common Couch 1.5 litres per hectare When the majority of(see 2.2 below) shoots have emerged

and are approx. 15 cms tall

* only controlled in winter crops of oilseed rape and field beans

† autumn applications – see other specific restrictions in the legal requirementsarea.

2.2 Common Couch

Sufficient foliage should have emerged to absorb the spray. Shoots not emergedor just emerging at application will not be controlled.

DO NOT cultivate for at least 14 days after application to allow time fortranslocation to occur. Leave a longer interval (up to 21 days) if growingconditions are poor.

Aramo gives control of top growth of Common Couch at this rate. To improvesuppression of established couch, a thorough pre-planting cultivation to a depthof 10 cms is recommended to fragment the rhizomes and encourage uniformemergence.

The effects on the long-term control of couch, i.e. in succeeding crops, has notbeen investigated.

2.3 Resistance

Strains of some annual grasses (eg Black-grass, Wild-Oats, and ItalianRyegrass) have developed resistance to herbicides, which may lead to poorcontrol. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should beadopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Groupand copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser orproduct manufacturer.

Aramo®

This product contains tepraloxydim which is an ACCase inhibitor, also classifiedby the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee as ’Group A.’

Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes culturalmethods of control and does not use ACCase inhibitors as the sole chemicalmethod of grass-weed control.

Applying a second product containing an ACCase inhibitor to a crop willincrease the risk of resistance development; only use a second ACCase inhibitorto control different weeds at a different timing.

DO NOT use reduced doses of Aramo on resistant grass weed populations.

Populations of black-grass with high levels of resistance will not be fullycontrolled.

Adopt a long-term strategy integrating cultural and chemical measures.Achieving maximum benefits from cultural and chemical control depends onattention to detail. This is the most important factor determining the success ofany anti-resistance strategy.

Key elements of the resistance management strategy for Aramo:

- Always follow WRAG guidelines for preventing and managing herbicide resistant weeds.

- Maximise the use of cultural control measures wherever possible (e.g. crop rotation, ploughing, stale seedbeds, delayed drilling, etc).

- Use tank mixes or sequences of effective herbicides with different modes of action within individual crops, or successive crops.

- For the control of herbicide resistant grassweeds, always use Aramo in sequence with other effective graminicides with different modes of action.

- Apply post-emergence to small, actively growing weeds, especially where high levels of resistance are suspected and to reduce the risk of resistance development.

- Identify the herbicides to which your grassweeds are resistant. This can help determine the most appropriate herbicides to include in your management strategy.

- Monitor fields regularly and investigate the reasons for any poor control.

3. CROPS

3.1 Sugar Beet and Fodder Beet

Aramo can be applied from when the crop has fully expanded cotyledons tobefore row closure.

3.2 Winter Oilseed rape (including industrial oilseed rape)

Aramo can be applied to winter oilseed rape from cotyledon fully expanded up to before the end of November or before the crop has 9 true leaves,whichever occurs first. Do not use more than 1.0 litres per hectare. See alsoRestrictions/Warnings 1.10.

3.3 Linseed (including industrial linseed) and Flax

Aramo can be applied in the spring to linseed and flax from when the crop has2 true leaves up to before flower buds are visible within the crop.

3.4 Combining and Vining Peas

Aramo can be applied in the spring to all varieties of combining and vining peasfrom the two node stage of the crop until before the crop canopy preventsadequate spray penetration. A satisfactory leaf wax test using crystal violetmarker dye must be performed before applying Aramo in peas. Applicationsmay only be made to winter pea varieties in the spring.

Aramo can be applied in cabbages from 4 true leaves up to the beginning ofhead formation, when the two youngest leaves do not unfold.

3.11 Cauliflower

Aramo can be applied in cauliflowers from 2 true leaves up to the beginning ofhead formation.

3.12 Green cover on land not being used for crop production (Set-aside)

Aramo may be applied to areas temporarily removed from production where thegreen cover is made up predominantly (i.e. sufficient to maintain reasonablecover) of tolerant crops that are present on the label for the control of grassweeds and volunteer cereals. Use on industrial crops of linseed and oilseedrape is also permitted. When applying Aramo to industrial crops of linseed andoilseed rape, the user must refer to the legal requirements and directions foruse relating to linseed and winter oilseed rape respectively.

4. FOLLOWING CROPSIf a crop treated with Aramo should fail for any reason, then the followingintervals should elapse between using Aramo and redrilling subsequent crops,following normal seedbed cultivations. In the case of a normally harvestedcrop, care should also be taken to leave the appropriate interval before plantingItalian rye-grass.

After 2 weeks: wheat and barley.

After 8 weeks: maize and Italian rye-grass may be planted following a cultivation to 20 cm.

Broad leaved crops may be planted at any time following normally harvestedcrops or the failure of a crop treated with Aramo.

Graminaceous crops, other than those named, should not be planted as thenext following crop.

031-036_Bandock - Eire 24/04/2014 12:01 pm Page 31

1. DIRECTIONS FOR USEApply by tractor-mounted sprayer ensuring good coverage of all foliage. Thehigher recommended volumes of water should be used where nettles andthistles prevail and where weed populations are dense. Optimum results will beachieved by spraying at 4 mph using jets which deliver one litre per minute at3 bars pressure,

E.g. jets from: Spraying Systems 110/03Lurmark 111/03Hardi 4110/16

Where higher volumes are to be applied, it is recommended that the above jetsbe retained while the forward speed is reduced. The use of larger jets is likelyto lead to loss of herbicide due to excessive ‘run-off’.


a) Overall treatment

Apply Bandock at 4 to 5 litres in 150-400 litres of water per hectare accordingto the weed spectrum.

Where suppression of perennial weeds and docks is required, apply Bandockat 2 litres per hectare. This may also be applied as a follow up treatment to anyregrowth following previous applications.

b) Knapsack treatment

Low volume

20 ml of Bandock per litre of water sprayed should be applied to give a finecoverage of all foliage

Or

Medium volume

10 ml of Bandock per litre of water sprayed should be applied to the point ofrun-off.

Recommended jets for use with the knapsack sprayer include:

Jet Manufacturer Low Volume Medium volume (to (fine cover)* point of run-off)

Spraying Systems 110/02 110/03 or 110/04

Lurmark 110/02 110/03 or 110/04

Hardi 4110/14 4110/16 or 4110/20

*Efficient filtration of both herbicide and water into the knapsack sprayer throughan 80 mesh filter is desirable when using low volume jets.


Bandock should be applied to actively growing docks before the flower budsform. Treat docks when in rosette stage up to 25 cm high or across.

If grass has been cut for hay or silage, or grazed over the winter, leave for 2 to3 weeks to allow sufficient regrowth to occur before spraying. The ideal time isfor usage in April-June.

2. MIXINGWhen mixing, half fill the spray tank with clean water, add the recommendedquantity of Bandock and complete filling. Agitate during filling and topping upand continue until spraying is complete.

4. IMPORTANT NOTESDo not leave the product in the machine overnight. Wash equipment thoroughlywith water and a suitable detergent such as Teepol paying particular attentionto the inside of the top of the spray tank, which should be scrubbed immediatelyafter use. Spray out, fill with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out againbefore storing or using any other product. Traces of the product can cause harmto susceptible crops sprayed later.

5. WARNING5.1 Avoid spray drift into greenhouses or onto other agricultural or horticultural

crops, amenity plantings or gardens. In hot conditions vapour drift may occurmaking it particularly important to assess the risk to neighbouring vegetation.

5.2 Damage may result unless all recommendations are carefully followed.

5.3 Docks and other weeds sprayed with Bandock may become increasinglypalatable to stock, and therefore may be preferentially grazed. This could causedigestive upsets and grazing should be prevented until all top growth of theweed is dead (minimum 7 days after spraying).

5.4 Spraying with Bandock does not remove the poisonous properties of ragwortor other poisonous weeds and therefore stock should be kept out of the fieldand hay or silage making delayed until all top growth of the weeds hasdisappeared.

5.5 Treated grassland should not be mown or cut for at least 14 days post-spraying.

5.6 Where clover is a valued constituent of the sward it is advisable to use Bandockonly as a spot treatment, using a knapsack sprayer.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructionswithin this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful useof this product.

Basagran is a herbicide for post emergence broad leaved weed control in spring andwinter field beans, broad, dwarf French, navy and runner beans, peas, linseed, narcissiand potatoes.


1.1 Weed control

The best weed control will be achieved if crops are sprayed when weeds aresmall and actively growing, provided the crop is within the correct growthstages, see below.

It is essential to achieve full cover of all weed surface areas, especially thegrowing point. Therefore adjust spray volumes and pressures according to thesize and density of the weed populations and crop cover.

It is preferable to use the split dose if conditions are likely to be very warm,sunny or humid, if foliage is tender or if a sensitive variety is to be treated (seeSection 4.2).

Only single applications are approved for use in peas.

Where weeds classed as moderately susceptible form an important part of theweed population, the split dose will only give acceptable control if the weedsare cotyledon only. If true leaves are present, a single application of 3 l/ hectareshould be made.

The addition of Actipron (PCS No. 90022) or Crop Spray 11E (PCS No. 90452)is recommended only in dwarf green beans and potatoes to improve control offat hen, particularly when dry conditions are prevalent. Enhanced control ofother weeds listed as susceptible may also be achieved.

1.2 Sequences/Tank mixes

Sequence with other spray chemicals: Do not apply insecticides within 7 days of treatment with Basagran.

Basagran BEFORE a post emergence grass herbicide: leave an interval of atleast 7 days between treatments

Basagran AFTER a post emergence grass herbicide: leave an interval of 14 daysand carry out a leaf wax test where relevant.

Other than the permitted mixtures in the relevant crops, Do not tank mixBasagran with any other products.

1.3 Weather conditions

Do not apply Basagran or any of the recommended mixtures to any crop thatmay have been subjected to stress conditions, such as herbicide or diseaseinjury, excessive acidity/alkalinity, trace element deficiency, drought,waterlogging, widely fluctuating temperatures, or physical damage to the foliageas caused by abnormal wind, rain, hail or frost.

Do not spray under HOT SUNNY CONDITIONS when temperatures are at orabove 21°C, particularly during the mid day period. When the above conditionsoccur, spraying should be delayed until the evening. This is particularlyimportant when there has been a change to hot sunny weather following a coolcloudy period.

Do not spray if rain or frost is expected, nor if the foliage is wet. A minimumperiod of 6 hours free from rain is required after application.

Do not apply Basagran during periods of drought or unseasonably cold weatheras unsatisfactory weed control may result.

Basagran®

38


1.4 Crops

Check varietal tolerance of varieties before using.

A satisfactory leaf wax test using crystal violet marker dye, must be carried outbefore applying Basagran or the recommended mixtures to peas.

DO NOT treat forage pea varieties or mange-tout.

Do not use on first early or seed crop potatoes.

Restrictions relating to certain varieties of potatoes should be strictly observed.

Check also all specific restrictions and warnings relevant to potatoes.

CONSULT PROCESSORS BEFORE USE.

1.5 Application

Do not overlap spray swaths.

Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops, particularly lettuce and sugarbeet.

The recommended water volume is 100-450 litres/hectare. The lowest volumeof 100 litres/hectare can only be used when weeds are no larger than cotyledonstage, weed density is low to moderate and crop shielding is negligible.

WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly immediately after use. Fill the tank with cleanwater and leave overnight. Spray out before storage or using other products.Traces of the product may cause damage to susceptible crops sprayed later.

3. CROPS

3.1 Dwarf French, Navy and Runner Beans

Time of Application

Apply Basagran in runner beans when the crop has between one and twotrifoliate leaves and in dwarf French and navy beans as soon as the crophas two trifoliate leaves.

Crop selectivity is partly dependent on adequate leaf wax formation. Whenconditions which reduce leaf wax occur the application should be delayed byat least 5 to 7 days to await recovery.

Basagran may cause transient scorch, which can be prolonged withapplications later than the three trifoliate leaf stage.

Method of Application

Basagran can be applied either by a conventional single dose or preferably bya split dose treatment.

3.2 Spring and Winter Field Beans and Broad Beans

Basagran can be used alone or following a pre emergence herbicide providingthe crop is not adversely affected. Crop selectivity is partly dependent onadequate leaf wax formation. Frost, wet conditions, physical damage, diseaseor previous sprays can all reduce leaf wax and when this occurs applicationshould be delayed by at least 5 to 7 days to await recovery.

Methods of Application

Basagran can be applied either by a conventional single dose or by a split dosetreatment. The correct crop and weed growth stages are given in the followingtable. See also Section 4.2 - Application.

The single dose is usually the preferred treatment for the winter bean crop dueto overwintered weeds being more advanced.

The split dose is the preferred method in spring field beans provided that theweed and crop stage are suitable.

Processors must be consulted before use in broad beans.

Crop Effects - Field and Broad Beans

Slight crop scorch can occur after spraying. This is seen as a blackening of leafmargins, particularly on older leaves all subsequent new leaves beingunaffected. A temporary vigour check may also occur under some conditions.These effects generally have no influence on yield. They can, however, be morepronounced when applications are made beyond the optimum growth stage,particularly when the single dose is used and/or adverse weather conditionsprevail.

Warnings

Avoid overlapping spray bouts and DO NOT add Actipron (PCS No. 90022),or Crop Spray 11E (PCS No. 90452) to Basagran in field and broad bean crops.

DO NOT apply on crops earlier than the 2 leaf pair stage, or crops more than15 cm tall (except winter beans) or if flower buds are visible.

3.3 Peas

Basagran may be used alone or in mixtures with Tropotox (PCS No. 02374) oralternatively tank mixed with MCPB* (see formulations and rates definedbelow). The choice of treatment depends on the weed spectrum to becontrolled see weed susceptibilities listed in Section 2.1

Basagran, or the above mixtures may be used following pre emergence broadleaf herbicides provided that the crop is undamaged and showing no adversesymptoms of herbicide application.

Avoid application to crops which are under stress from physical damage ordisease, or other factors.

A satisfactory leaf wax test using crystal violet marker dye must be performedbefore applying Basagran or Basagran mixtures, particularly with early drillingswhich tend to have less leaf wax.

Slight scorch of the leaf margins and/or hormonal twisting may occur shortlyafter spraying but the crop will soon recover; yield and maturity will not beadversely affected.

Time of Application

Apply Basagran or Basagran + Tropotox (PCS No. 02374) from when the peashave three nodes (3 fully expanded leaves) until before the flower buds can befound enclosed in the terminal shoot. The optimum timing is when the majorityof weeds have germinated, but are still at the seedling stage.

Rate of Application (See also Section 1 - single applications)

(i) Basagran alone - Apply 3 l/ha. (ii) Basagran + Tropotox (PCS No. 02374) tank mix - Apply 3 l/ha Basagran +

3.75 l/ha Tropotox (PCS No. 02374).

NOTE: Only single applications are approved for use in peas.

* Approved formulations containing 400 g/l MCPB salt such as Tropotox (PCS No. 02374).

Varietal Tolerances

The following varieties can be safely treated, either with Basagran SG alone, orthe above mixtures.

Green Peas (Vining Peas)

Varieties in bold text may exhibit more leaf scorch than others, but are nothighly sensitive.


* Particular care should be taken to ensure treating these early maturingvarieties at the correct growth stage, because they flower at an earlier nodethan later maturing varieties. They should not be treated after the fifthexpanded leaf stage.

For the approval status and tolerance of any variety not mentioned above,consult your local BASF representative or the BASF Technical ServicesHotline (0845 602 2553) or the Processors and Growers ResearchOrganisation.


DO NOT treat the varieties Carouby de Mausanne, Conquest, Danielle, Dinos,Filby, Fonado, Printana, Sherbourne, Turon, Santa or Vedette.

DO NOT treat forage pea varieties or mange-tout.


3.4 Linseed

Since linseed offers poor weed competition, weed control is important,especially in the early growth stages.

Basagran may be used alone or following pre emergence herbicides, providedthat the crop is showing no adverse symptoms.

Time of Application

Apply when the crop is between 2½-30 cm tall, but before the flower buds arevisible.

The optimum timing is when the majority of weeds have germinated and are stillin the seedling stage. As a guide, this is usually when the crop is between 7½-20 cm tall.


Basagran can be applied either by a conventional single dose or by a split dosetreatment.

A weed control programme of a suitable pre-emergence herbicide followed byBasagran is recommended.

Time of Application

Apply Basagran at or after flowering but not during flower bud formation. Ifrequired, Basagran may be applied at any time after crop emergence exceptduring flower bud formation. For optimum control weeds should be at thecotyledon to seedling stage.


Basagran can be applied either by a conventional single dose or by a split dosetreatment.

Varietal Tolerances

The following varieties have been successfully treated:

Buxton LariantiCarlton Scarlet EleganceFortune SnowballGolden Harvest

Selectivity has been satisfactory over many varieties. However, because thereis such a large range, with an unlisted variety growers are advised to check asmall area in the first instance.

3.6 Potatoes

Basagran is a post emergence treatment for use in maincrop and second earlypotatoes. It may be used alone or following a pre-emergence herbicide in aprogramme of weed control provided the crop is undamaged and showing noadverse symptoms of herbicide application. Basagran used in sequence with apre-emergence application of metribuzin gives improved weed control fromthe combination of residual and contact activity. DO NOT apply following a post-emergence application of approved formulations of metribuzin (e.g. Sencorex WG PCS No. 91237).

Some leaf yellowing or slight scorch may occur under certain conditions (see'Varietal Tolerances' and 'Factors Affecting Crop Tolerance'). These effects aretransient, only being present on leaves exposed to the spray. All subsequentgrowth is unaffected and yields are not adversely affected, provided thatapplications are within the following guidelines.

Do not irrigate for at least 24 hours following application. In dry conditionsirrigation prior to Basagran application can be beneficial to ensure that weedsare actively growing. However, foliage must be dry before application.

Avoid overlapping spray bouts.

3.6.1 Potatoes- Basagran alone

Time of Application

Apply Basagran when the majority of weeds have emerged and are at thecotyledon to seedling stage, but before most of the crop has reached aheight of 15 cm.

Application when the crop is taller than 15 cm is not recommended becausefoliage scorch can be increased leading to a possible check to the crop vigourand yields. Weeds can also be shielded from the spray by crop foliage with laterapplications.


Basagran can be applied either by a conventional single dose or preferably bya split dose treatment. See Section 4.2, Application.

Basagran®

Control of Fat Hen in Potatoes

See Section 4.2, Basagran use with adjuvants.

3.6.2 Potatoes- Basagran/Sencorex sequences

Apply 1.0 l/ha metribuzin (e.g. Sencorex WG PCS No. 91237) pre-emergence ofthe potatoes as recommended in the metribuzin label. On soils with highorganic matter content, better activity can be achieved by pre- or post-plantingincorporation or by application pre-final ridging. Follow this with an applicationof 1.5 l/ha Basagran + 1.5 L/ha Actipron (PCS No. 90022) post-crop emergencewhen the weeds are at cotyledon to 2 leaf stage, but before the potato shootsexceed 15 cm in height. Check varietal restrictions for Basagran and metribuzinbefore embarking on this programme.

3.6.3 Potatoes- Varietal Tolerances

# These varieties are recommended on the basis of limited (2 years) data.

DO NOT treat the following varieties: Bintje, Fianna, Lady Rosetta, Morag,Morene, Rode Pipo, Russett Burbank, Sante, Shepody, Stemster and Stroma

DO NOT treat seed crops or first early varieties.

Factors Affecting Crop Tolerance

Basagran should not be applied to potatoes under hot, sunny conditions whentemperatures are at or above 21°C, particularly during the mid-day period.When these conditions are encountered, spraying should be delayed untilevening. It should be noted that in general, crop foliage is more sensitive whenthere is a sudden change to hot, sunny weather following a cool, cloudy period.This sensitivity diminishes after approximately three days.

Crop tolerance will also be reduced if the crop is under stress, e.g. from suchfactors as physical damage (as from high wind), heavy rain or hail, virusdiseases, blackleg, nematodes, Rhizoctonia, excessive soil alkalinity or acidity,or frost either shortly before or after treatment. Wet foliage is prone to scorchby Basagran.

4. MIXING AND SPRAYING

4.1 Mixing

Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in therequired amount of Basagran. Add the remainder of the water and continueagitation until spraying is completed.


4.2 Application

All applications should be made as a FINE spray, as defined by BCPC, unlessthe highest water volumes are used when FINE or MEDIUM sprays arepermissible. It is essential to achieve full cover of all weed surface areas,especially the growing point. Therefore ADJUST SPRAY VOLUMES ANDPRESSURES ACCORDING TO THE SIZE AND DENSITY OF THE WEEDPOPULATIONS AND CROP COVER.

Basagran can be applied as a single dose in all recommended crops or as asplit dose in dwarf green, navy, runner and field beans, linseed, potatoes andnarcissi. The split dose will control susceptible weeds from cotyledon up to 2true leaves while the single dose is effective on weeds up to 4 6 true leaf stage.The split dose method has generally given better weed control and enhancedcrop safety over the conventional single dose, but if weeds are larger than 2 trueleaves, it is necessary to use the single dose method.

Timing of Split Dose

The optimum timing for the first application is when the first flush of weeds areat the cotyledon stage. The second follow up dose should be applied within 7to 10 days of the first dose, depending on the control achieved by the initialdose or the appearance of the second weed flush. See individual sectionsbelow for crop growth stage limitations.

A maximum of two applications may be made: 1.5 l/hectare followed by 1.5 l/ hectare or 2 l/hectare followed by 1.0 l/hectare.

The 1.5 l/1.5 l/hectare split is preferable if conditions are likely to be very warm,sunny or humid, if foliage is tender or if a sensitive variety is to be treated.

The recommended water volume is 100-220 litres/hectare. The lowest volumeof 100 litres/hectare can only be used when weeds are no larger thancotyledon stage, weed density is low to moderate and crop shielding isnegligible.

Single Dose and Mixtures

Where Basagran is recommended as a single application in this text, itshould be applied at 3 l/hectare.

When applied alone or in mixture with other products, the recommended watervolume is 220-450 litres/hectare.

The lowest volume of 220 litres/hectare should only be used when all thefollowing conditions apply:

: weeds at cotyledon to 2 leaves only.: weed density is low to moderate.: crop shielding is negligible.

Flat fan or high pressure hollow cone nozzles are suitable under theseconditions.

For other situations, 330-450 litres/hectare is recommended, preferably appliedthrough flat fan nozzles only, operating at an optimum pressure ofapproximately 3-3.5 bar, in order to produce a fine penetrating spray.

Basagran®

48


In crops where the addition of an adjuvant is recommended, add 2 litres/hectareof Actipron (PCS No. 90022), or Crop Spray 11E (PCS No. 90452) to therecommended rate of Basagran when spray volumes of 220 450 litres/hectareare used.

Where a split dose application is recommended within the water volume rangeof 100-170 litres/hectare then the rate of adjuvant is reduced to 1-1.5litres/hectare respectively.

5. SEQUENCESDO NOT apply insecticides within 7 days of treatment with Basagran.

Basagran BEFORE a post-emergence grass herbicide:- leave an interval of atleast 7 days between treatments.

Basagran AFTER a post-emergence grass herbicide:- leave an interval of 14days and carry out a leaf wax test where relevant.

1. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Butisan S is a residual herbicide acting mainly by root uptake but also withsome contact action. It can be used in all varieties of winter and spring sownoilseed rape, swedes, turnips, cabbages, Brussels sprouts, cauliflowers,broccoli and calabrese. See appropriate instructions.

Butisan S is suitable for use on all soil types as defined in the Soil Texture (85)System, except sands and very light soils and soils containing more than 10%organic matter content. Useful weed control can be obtained on soils with anorganic matter higher than 10% but will decrease as the percentage of organicmatter increases appreciably.

With drilled crops it is important to ensure that the seed is well covered withsoil, to a depth of 15 mm when applying Butisan S pre-emergence. With directdrilled crops, harrow across slits to cover the seed before spraying Butisan S.Ensure that transplants are correctly planted with the roots well covered. Looseand puffy seedbeds must be consolidated before treatment.

3. WINTER OILSEED RAPE

3.1 Time of Application Butisan S may be applied pre-emergence or post-emergence of the crop,depending on soil type, the seedbed conditions and weed spectrum (SeeSection 2.1). Do not use later than the end of January.

3.2 Pre-emergence use: On medium and heavy soils where seedbeds are moist,firm and free from clods, Butisan S should be applied from drilling up untilthe crop seed chits. In warm soils, this may occur within 48 hours of drilling.Do not treat broadcast crops, or if a period of heavy rain is forecast.

3.3 Early post-emergence use: Butisan S can be applied as a post-emergencespray once the majority of the crop has reached the fully expanded cotyledonstage, providing weeds are not beyond their maximum susceptible growthstage (see Section 2.1).

3.4 Post-emergence application of Butisan S is recommended if: (a) Seedbed conditions are not ideal for the pre-emergence use.

(b) The seed is not covered with 15 mm of soil (as with broadcast crops).

(c) Butisan S could not be applied before the crop seed chits

(d) Light soils, or all recommended soils which are stony, brashy or gravelly,are to be treated, particularly if heavy rainfall has been forecast for theperiod following drilling.

(e) Late drilled crops are to be treated.

3.5 Rate of ApplicationApply 1.5 litres Butisan S per hectare, pre- or post-emergence of the crop.

When applying Butisan S pre- or post emergence in tank mixture or wheneverapplying Butisan S post-emergence, use a minimum water volume of 220 litresper hectare.

Butisan S can be applied in water volumes of 100 litres per hectare when usedpre-emergence, but should not be used in tank mixture with other products atthis water volume. When using this reduced water volume nozzles designed toproduce a coarser spray may be used.

least 220 l/ha.

IMPORTANT NOTES DO NOT USE on Adequate moisture is broadcast or late drilled necessary for weed crops, or stony soils control


Special Notes:

1. Approved herbicides may follow a pre- or early post-emergence application ofButisan S, provided that the crop is undamaged and showing no adversesymptoms.

4. SWEDES, TURNIPS AND SPRING OILSEED RAPE

4.1 Times of Application

Butisan S should be applied to seedbeds that are firm, moist and free from clodsbefore the crop seed chits. This may occur within 48 hours of drilling in warmsoils. DO NOT treat if a period of heavy rain is forecast as heavy rain beforeemergence may reduce crop stand. The latest time of application of Butisan Sis pre-emergence in swedes, turnips and spring oilseed rape.

4.2 Rates of ApplicationApply 1.5 litres Butisan S per hectare, pre-emergence of the crop. Decreaserate of Butisan S by 0.25 I/ha on light soils. Weed susceptibilities are listed inSection 2.1.

Butisan S should be applied in 220-450 litres of water per hectare. Use thehigher water volume where seedbeds are not ideal (e.g. slightly cloddy).

5. TRANSPLANTED BRASSICAEButisan S is recommended for weed control in transplanted cabbages, Brusselssprouts, cauliflowers, broccoli or calabrese.

Transplants should be correctly planted, ensuring that the roots are well coveredby soil. Also ensure transplants are adequately hardened off and establishedprior to treatment, using irrigation if necessary under dry conditions. Avoidspraying transplants when very warm days and cool nights are expected.

MODULAR OR BLOCK RAISED TRANSPLANTS can be susceptible to herbicidedamage, because they are often both soft and immature. It is essential that thedirections concerning transplants given are followed fully and it is advisable totreat only a small area in the first instance.

5.1 Times of Application

Apply Butisan S any time after transplanting once the transplants haveestablished, but before weed emergence, as a surface spray to a seedbed whichis MOIST, FIRM AND FREE FROM CLODS. Weed susceptibilities are listed inSection 2.1. The latest time of application of Butisan S is 6 weeks before harvestin transplanted brassicae

5.2 Rates of Application

Apply 1.5 litre Butisan S in 220-450 litres of water per hectare. Decrease rateof Butisan S by 0.25 I/ha on light soils.

6. DIRECT DRILLED BRASSICAE To prolong weed control in direct drilled Cabbages, Kale, Brussels sprout,Cauliflower, Broccoli or Calabrese, one application of Butisan S can be madepost-emergence of the crop (see weed susceptibilities are listed in Section2.1) , following the use of a pre-emergence herbicide treatment.


Apply Butisan S after the crops have 3-4 true leaves BUT BEFORE weedemergence. Do not treat crops within 6 weeks of harvesting.


Apply 1.5 litres Butisan S in 220-450 litres of water per hectare.

7. APPLICATIONFor boom sprayers SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. Half fill the spray tank with clean water andstart agitation. Pour in the required amount of Butisan S. Add the remainderof the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.

Butisan® S

For knapsack sprayersSHAKE WELL BEFORE USE. Use a maximum of 3 mls of Butisan S per litreof water and ensure good coverage of the target.

8. POST-EMERGENCE GRASS WEED AND VOLUNTEER CEREALCONTROL For post-emergence grass weed/volunteer cereal control, Stratos Ultra maybe safely used sequentially where Butisan S has been used pre-emergenceas recommended.

Alternatively Stratos Ultra may be applied in a tank mix with Butisan S post-emergence where appropriate and the timings overlap.

9. SUCCEEDING CROPSFields of oilseed rape which have been sprayed with Butisan S alone butwhere the rape crop has failed may be redrilled with winter wheat or winterbarley in the same autumn provided the land is first mould board ploughed toa depth of at least 150 mm. Following ploughing the following spring cropsmay be sown; transplanted or direct drilled brassicae; field beans; cereals;peas; potatoes; and maize.

No restrictions apply to winter crops sown in the autumn following normalharvest of the rape crop.

Following spring applications to swedes, turnips or brassicae, crops particularlysensitive to Butisan S, e.g. carrots, parsnips and lettuce, should not be plantedwithin 5 months of treatment. Plough to a depth of at least 150 mm beforesowing or planting crop.

10. WARNINGS 10.1. Ensure that crop seed is adequately covered with soil and that transplants

are correctly planted with the roots well covered, before treatment.

10.2. A reduction in crop vigour, weed control and possibly plant stand may occurwith excessive rainfall shortly after application. If heavy irrigation is plannedafter transplanting, apply Butisan S after irrigating.

10.3. Reduced levels of weed control may occur under dry conditions. Lightirrigation will help to ensure herbicidal activity.

10.4. On brashy and stony soils, Butisan S may cause some reduction in cropvigour and/or plant stand.

10.5. DO NOT overlap spray swaths, particularly on the headlands.

10.6. DO NOT treat crops which are suffering from wilting, pests or diseases.

11. IMPORTANT NOTES 11.1. Avoid spray drift on to neighbouring crops.

11.2. DO NOT use filters finer than 50 mesh.

11.3. WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly immediately after use. Fill the tank with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out before storage or using other products.

11.4. Traces of the product may cause damage to susceptible crops sprayed later.

11.5. Butisan S is NOT dangerous to bees.

11.6. For professional use only.

12. CONTAINER AND STORAGEButisan S is supplied in 5 litre polyethylene containers and should be keptdry and frostproof in a suitable pesticide store.

Caramba is a broad spectrum fungicide with curative and protectant activity,which can be used on all commercial varieties of winter and spring wheat, durumwheat, winter and spring barley, triticale and rye. Caramba can also be used onwinter and spring oilseed rape. When applied to oilseed rape in the spring,Caramba can provide plant growth regulation in the form of a reduction in cropheight.

1. RESTRICTIONS/WARNINGSFor professional use only.For use by tractor mounted/trailed sprayers only.Do not apply to oilseed rape crops that are damaged or stressed from factorssuch as previous product use, adverse weather conditions (e.g. drought, frostor waterlogging), nutrient deficiency or pest attacks.Caramba is formulated specifically for use on cereals and oilseed rape. The addition of further adjuvants is not advised.Caramba should not be applied with pyrethroids to oilseed rape at flowering.Ensure the sprayer is free from previous chemical residues that may harm thecrop. Use of a detergent cleaner is advised before and after use.Avoid spray drift on to neighbouring crops and field margins.

Time of Application

For effective control Caramba is best applied when disease starts to developin the crop.

Application at an early stage of mildew development (not more than 3%infection on any green leaf) will give moderate control. Where mildew hasbecome established, the use of a specific mildewicide will improve controland help prevent the development of resistant strains.

For optimum results on yellow rust apply before any leaf has more than 1%infection or as a preventative treatment on susceptible varieties after the flagleaf has fully emerged (GS 39).

Reduction of ear Fusarium may be achieved when applied between full earemergence and anthesis complete (GS 69).

For control of brown rust treat susceptible varieties as soon as rust is seenand spray more resistant varieties before any of the top three leaves havemore than 1-2% infection.

Spray as soon as net blotch is seen on any of the top three leaves. A furthertreatment will be necessary where disease is well established.

Caramba may be applied before early milk stage (GS 73).

Rate of Application

3. RESISTANCE MANAGEMENTCaramba contains metconazole, a DMI fungicide. Resistance to some DMIfungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch (Mycosphaerellagraminicola) which may seriously affect the performance of some products. Forfurther advice on resistance management in DMIs contact Teagasc, youragronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website.

Cereal Powdery mildew strains with decreased sensitivity to triazoles arecommon in Ireland. Where these occur or develop, Caramba may not givesatisfactory control.

For crop/pathogen situations where repeated spray applications are required,alternation or mixtures with an effective non cross-resistant fungicide arerecommended. Fungicide use does not replace the need for non-chemicalcultural control methods e.g. resistant crop varieties, good agronomic practice,plant hygiene.

4. FOLLOWING CROPSAfter treating a cereal or oilseed rape crop with Caramba, the crops listed belowmay be sown as a following crop:-

Beans Clover Oilseed rape Ryegrass Cabbage

Lettuce Onions Sugar beet Carrots Linseed

Peas Sunflower Cereals Maize Potatoes

The effects of Caramba on other crops has not been assessed.


5.1 MixingNever prepare more spray solution than is required.

1. THE PROBLEM Eventual crop yields are dependent upon the ability of the plant to establishitself, to optimise growth habit and to utilise the resources available. Crop yieldswill not necessarily be boosted by just increasing the resources available (suchas nitrogen). In fact in many circumstances a high rate of nitrogen fertilisationwill depress yield as it increases the risk of early lodging.

2. THE PRODUCTCeCeCe 750 is an essential input for cereal growing systems as it can improvethe root system development (which allows better utilisation of the resourcesavailable) and increase the number of tillers surviving to bear heads. Either orboth of these factors will often result in increased yield.

Early lodging in cereals has been shown to adversely affect grain yield. Wherethere is a high risk of lodging due to a combination of nitrogen, varietal orenvironmental factors, CeCeCe 750 promotes sturdier growth in wheat and oatsand reduces the risk of early lodging.

CeCeCe 750 can increase wheat yields in the absence of lodging. In 54 trials,56% gave yield increases of 125 kg/ha or above.

3. DIRECTIONS FOR USE

3.1 Wheat

CeCeCe750 should be applied to wheat crops during good growing conditionsin spring. A split application may have advantages particularly in weak strawedvarieties and in early drilled crops.

3.2 Oats

CeCeCe 750 reduces stem length in oats under most circumstances butresistance to lodging will be greater on short strawed varieties. For optimumeffects CeCeCe 750 must be applied when the second node or “joint” can bedetected at the base of the majority of tillers (Growth Stage Zadoks 32).

For full effect, a non-ionic wetting agent must be added to the spray mixture atthe rate of 25 ml per 100 litres.

3.3 Winter Barley - Autumn Application

Root development and tiller production for autumn sown barley is largelydetermined in the autumn of sowing. CeCeCe 750 applied in the autumn canstimulate both root system development and tiller production. (However anautumn application will not preclude the need for spring application).

3.4 Winter and Spring Barley - Spring Application

Whilst CeCeCe 750 applied in the spring is less consistent in barley for thecontrol of lodging than in wheat or oats, the relatively early application timingcan promote changes in the pattern of growth (such as numbers of tillerssurviving to bear heads) which may lead to an increase in yield. Winter sowncrops treated in the autumn will still benefit from a spring application bymaintaining the stimulus on tiller production, thereby assisting the plant to reachthe full yield potential set in the autumn.

Some reduction in green side tiller production may be noticed after the use ofCeCeCe750. The use of Terpal sequentially is recommended for reliable lodgingcontrol.

3.5 Triticale

CeCeCe750 reduces stem length in triticale under most situations, and will helpreduce the risk of early lodging.

The use of Terpal sequentially is recommended for improved lodging controlwhen the crop is growing vigorously, having a good plant population with anadequate nutrient and moisture supply.

5. IMPORTANT NOTES If winter wheat varieties are sown in spring, apply CeCeCe 750 at the winterwheat rate of application.

DO NOT apply CeCeCe 750 when the crop is wet or rain is imminent. Avoidspray drift on to neighbouring crops.

DO NOT apply CeCeCe750 to very late sown spring wheat or spring oat crops.

DO NOT apply CeCeCe 750 to crops on soils of low fertility unless these soilsregularly receive adequate dressings of nitrogen fertilisers.

Corbel is a systemic fungicide with protectant and curative properties for thecontrol of powdery mildew on winter and spring sown wheat, barley, oats andrye; brown rust on winter and spring sown wheat, barley and triticale; moderatelevels of Rhynchosporium on winter and spring sown barley and yellow rust onbarley, wheat and triticale; rust on leeks; rust, Ramularia, leaf spot and mildewin sugar beet, fodder beet and mangolds.


1.1 Cereals

Corbel can be used on all commercial varieties of spring and winter sown wheat,barley, oats, rye and triticale.

Time of Application

Apply Corbel when disease first starts to build up in the crop. In winter barleythis may occur in the autumn and although autumn application should not beroutine, application of Corbel is particularly advised to control early outbreakson disease susceptible varieties. An autumn application will not howeverpreclude the need for a following spring treatment.

A maximum of two applications of Corbel in the spring/summer can be made(whether after an autumn application or not) depending upon disease severity.Allow an interval of at least five weeks after the last application before harvest.

Rate of Application

Apply 1 litre Corbel in 220-450 litres of water per hectare. Use the higher watervolume where the crop is dense.

1.2 Leeks – Rust

Rate of Application

Use Corbel at 1 l/ha.

Apply from the ground only in a minimum of 250 l/ha of water.

Time of Application

Treat at the start of disease attack. This usually occurs during periods of warm,humid weather from August onwards.

Maximum number of treatments

Up to six applications at 14 to 21 day intervals may be required if weatherconditions are conducive to rapid disease development.

Harvest interval

Corbel may be applied up to three weeks before harvest.

1.3 Sugar beet, Fodder beet, Mangolds - Rust, Ramularia,Leafspot and Mildew.

Rate of Application

Use Corbel at 1 l/ha.

Apply from the ground only in 250 l/ha of water.

2. MIXING AND SPRAYINGHalf fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in therequired amount of Corbel. Add the remainder of the water and continueagitation until spraying is completed.

When tank mixes are to be used, Corbel should be added to the spray tankwater after the other product(s).

When using tank mixes with Terpal, add the Corbel to the spray tank first.

All tank-mixes should be used immediately after mixing.


3.2 Whilst it is not recommended that Corbel be applied if rain is imminent, testshave indicated that Corbel is rainfast on cereals 2 hours after application. Thus,should rain fall after this period there is little risk of the spray being washed off.


3.4 Some crop scorch may occur if Corbel is applied during frosty weather or inhigh temperatures.

Diablo will control foliar late blight when used as part of a full programme of correctlytimed sprays.


Diablo should be applied as a protectant spray before the risk of blight occurs.

Diablo will give effective protection against phenylamide resistant strains of lateblight.

2.2 Resistance Management

Diablo contains a mixture of ametoctradin (a triazolo-pyrimidylamine, Qxlfungicide) and mancozeb (a dithiocarbamate fungicide).

To minimize the risk of resistance developing and in line with current FRAG-UKadvice to use effective doses, use Diablo at the recommended rate (2.5 kg/ha).No more than 3 consecutive applications of Diablo and no more than a total of4 applications of Diablo per season should be applied.

General advice:

Up to 6 applications of a QxI fungicide in mixture with a fungicide with adifferent mode of action, making up no more than half of the total number ofintended late blight sprays per season, may be made.

No more than three consecutive applications of a QxI fungicide shouldbe made.

Diablo will control strains of late blight resistant to phenylamides. No crossresistance to phenylamide resistant strains of blight have been observed.

If an intensive blight control programme is necessary, include products withdifferent modes of action.

When fungicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly overseveral years in the same field, naturally occurring less sensitive strainsmay survive, propagate and become dominant in that field. It is thereforeadvised that wherever possible spray programmes should include fungicideswith differing modes of action. Diablo contains active substances with twodifferent modes of action. For further advice on resistance management forpotato blight (Phytophthora infestans) contact your agronomist orspecialist advisor and/or visit the FRAG-UK and Potato Council websites.

3. Crop specific information3.1 Crops

Diablo can be used on all varieties of potato, including seed crops.


Diablo should be applied as part of a repeat spray programme at 7 –10 dayintervals, depending on disease pressure. As disease pressure and the risk oflate blight infection increases, the interval should be shortened. Irrigated cropsshould be treated as high risk.

Applications of Diablo must be made preventatively as soon as there is a risk ofblight infection, or an official blight warning has been issued. In the absence ofany warnings, applications should commence before the crop meets along therows.


2.5 kg/ha.

4. MIXING AND SPRAYINGRemove the top filter. Three quarters fill the spray tank with clean water andstart the agitation.

Loading directly into the spray tank:

Slowly add the required amount of Diablo. Add the remainder of the water.Replace the top filter and continue agitation until spraying is completed.

Loading by induction hopper:

Ensure the hopper is suitable for handling water dispersible granules. Set togive maximum suction and slowly pour the required amount of Diablo into theoutlet. Ensure the sides of the hopper are being rinsed with water as theproduct is poured into the hopper, avoiding a build up of product. Once thecorrect amount of Diablo has been added, (ensuring the hopper is clean) addthe remainder of the water and replace the top filter. Continue agitation untilspraying is completed. Never prepare more spray solution than is required.

4.2 Application

Apply as a medium spray, as defined by BCPC, in a water volume of 200 – 500l/ha. Select the appropriate water volume for the density of the crop, ensuringgood coverage of the foliage and stems. For use in tractor mounted/trailedsprayers only.

Diablo is rainfast in 1 hour, providing application has been made to dry foliageand the spray has dried on the leaf.

Filan is a protectant fungicide for use in oilseed rape for the control of Sclerotinia stemrot (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) and dark leaf and pod spot (Alternaria brassicae).




Filan represents minimal hazard to bees when used as directed. Considerationshould be given to informing bee-keepers when you intend spraying crops inflower.

A reduction in Sclerotinia control may be observed in oilseed rape when high-risk infection conditions occur after flowering, leading to secondary spread ofthe disease through plant-to-plant contact, which may be more severe in lodgedcrops.

2. DISEASE CONTROLFilan is a protectant fungicide for use in oilseed rape for the control of Sclerotiniastem rot and Alternaria dark leaf and pod spot.

2.1 Resistance

Filan contains boscalid which belongs to the SDHI (carboxamide) group offungicides.

Currently there is no evidence of field strains of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum orAlternaria brassicae that are resistant to the carboxamide fungicides in oilseedrape.

Currently there is evidence of cross resistance between boscalid and otherfungicides in the carboxamide group, but no cross resistance has beenobserved with fungicides with other modes of action.

The key of resistance management strategies is the reduction of selectionpressure. This can be achieved by good agricultural practice which leads toless infection pressure (e.g. crop & stubble hygiene, use of less susceptiblevarieties, crop rotation, use of healthy seeds, etc).

Risk assessments for the target diseases on oilseed rape indicate a low ormedium risk of resistance development. To minimise any possible risk ofresistance occurring, the number of applications of Filan should be restrictedto two per crop. Filan should be applied in a preventive manner, following therecommendations on the label, and as an integral part of a spray programmeincluding fungicides with different modes of action.

3. CROPSOilseed RapeTime of Application

Apply Filan as a protectant spray. Two applications can be made up to before60% of pods have reached final size (GS 76).

Applications against Sclerotinia should be made in high disease risk situationsat early to full flower (GS 63-65 BBCH), before disease symptoms are visible.

Applications against Alternaria should be made from full flowering (GS 65 BBCH)up to before 60% of pods have reached final size (GS 76). Applications madeafter the end of flowering (GS69) may result in reduced levels of control.

Filan®

4.1 Mixing


Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Slowly add therequired amount of Filan whilst re-circulating.

Rinse empty containers thoroughly, using an integrated pressure rinsing deviceor by manually rinsing three times. Add washings to tank at time of filling anddispose of container safely.

Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is complete.

4.2 Application

Apply 0.5kg of Filan in 220 - 400 litres of water per hectare as a MEDIUM spray,as defined by BCPC. In dense crops use the higher volume to achieve adequatepenetration and good coverage of the crop.

Where possible use narrow-wheeled high clearance application equipment. Toensure optimum spray coverage and minimize spray drift, adjust the spray boomto the appropriate height above the crop, according to guidance provided bythe sprayer and/or nozzle manufacture.

Flight is a herbicide containing pendimethalin and picolinafen with residual andcontact activity for use in winter wheat and winter barley.


DO NOT use more than one application of Flight in one growing season.

Soil Types

- Flight can be used on any mineral soil.

- Residual control may be reduced on soils with more than 6% organic matter.

- DO NOT use on soils with more than 10% organic matter.

- DO NOT use on stony or gravely soils as crop damage can occur, particularlyif heavy rain follows treatment.

- DO NOT use on water logged soil or soils prone to water logging.

Seedbed preparation

- Seed beds must have a fine, firm tilth. Loose or cloddy seed beds must beconsolidated prior to application, otherwise reduced weed control mayoccur. They may also cause seed to be inadequately covered which couldresult in crop damage.

Application

- For pre-emergence applications, seed should be covered with a minimum of3.2cm of settled soil.

- Only treat shallow drilled crops post-emergence.

- DO NOT spray undersown cereals or those to be undersown.

- Avoid spraying during periods of prolonged or severe frosts.

- DO NOT apply to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused forexample by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed conditions orprevious chemical treatment.

- Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage by drift on to plantsoutside the target area.

Emerged Crops

- DO NOT roll emerged crops prior to application.

Post-Application Requirements

- DO NOT soil incorporate.

- DO NOT disturb the soil after application.

- DO NOT roll autumn treated crops until the spring.

- For residual control some soil moisture is required for Flight. Best results willbe obtained if rain falls within 7 days of application. Residual control may bereduced under prolonged dry conditions.

- Water logging that occurs soon after pre-emergence applications may leadto crop damage.

Some transient bleaching may be seen after application to some crops, thisdoes not lead to yield loss.

Concentrated or diluted Flight may stain. Avoid spillage. Staining is minimisedor completely removed if skin/clothes are washed immediately.

2.2 Resistance

Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. Black-grass, Wild-Oats, and ItalianRyegrass) have developed resistance to herbicides, which may lead to poorcontrol. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should beadopted. Picolinafen is an inhibitor of carotenoid biosynthesis at the PDS step(a group that includes picolinafen and diflufenican). To prevent the developmentof resistant weeds herbicides with different modes of action must be used whenapplying in sequence. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed ResistanceAction Group and copies are available from HGCA, CPA (Crop ProtectionAssociation, UK), your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.

(1) Application of GLEAM to ears of wheat and triticale can lead to reductionof the levels of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) associated with Fusariumear blight infection, but this level of effect may not necessarily lead toreduction of DON below the statutory limit in wheat and triticale grain.

C = Control


R = Reduction


Strains of certain diseases with decreased sensitivity to triazole fungicides areknown to exist. Where these occur or develop, GLEAM may not givesatisfactory control.

GLEAM contains the DMI fungicides epoxiconazole and metconazole.Resistance to some DMI fungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch(Mycosphaerella graminicola) which may seriously affect the performance ofsome products. For further advice on resistance management with DMIs contactyour agronomist or specialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website.

A strategy for managing resistance should be adopted. Guidelines have beenproduced by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) and copiesare available from your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.


3.1 Crops

GLEAM may be used on all varieties of winter and spring wheat, durum wheat,winter and spring barley, rye and triticale.


Apply GLEAM at the start of disease attack. Applications can be made up tothe end of flowering (GS 69).

For optimum effect against eyespot with GLEAM apply between the leaf sheathserect and second node detectable stages of the crop.

For protection against Fusarium ear blight and sooty moulds on the ears ofwinter and spring wheat and triticale, apply GLEAM during ear emergence.


Apply 3 litres of GLEAM in 150 to 300 litres of water per hectare.

Gleam may be applied at 3 litres per hectare in 100 litres water per hectarealthough efficacy at this reduced volume has not been evaluated. Thereforeapplication at 100 litres water per hectare is at user’s risk with regard tobiological efficacy.

4. FOLLOWING CROPSAfter treating a cereal crop with GLEAM, oilseed rape, cereals, sugar beet,linseed, maize, clover, beans, peas, carrots, potatoes, lettuce, cabbage,sunflower, ryegrass and onions may be sown as the following crops. Theeffect of GLEAM on other crops has not been assessed.

PCS No. 03628


155-160_Katamaran-Eire 24/04/2014 12:56 pm Page 155

DIRECTIONS FOR USE


Katamaran is a residual herbicide that can be used on all varieties of winter sownoilseed rape for the control of cleavers and a range of other broad-leaved and grassweeds.


When Katamaran is applied pre emergence, it is important for crop safety toensure physical separation of the herbicide from the seed.

This is achieved by ensuring that the seed is well covered with soil to a depthof 15 mm.

With direct drilled crops, harrow across the slits to cover the seed beforespraying.

Loose or puffy seedbeds must be consolidated before treatment.

Seedbeds should be moist, firm and free from clods.

Katamaran is suitable for use on all soil types as defined by Soil Texture (85)System, except sands and very light soils and soils containing more than 10%organic matter.

On brashy and stony soils, Katamaran may cause some reduction in crop vigourand/or plant stand, due to the chemical moving down to the root zone tooquickly.

Do not apply Katamaran to soils with a compaction layer or to poorly drainedsoils, since damage can occur under waterlogged conditions.

If Katamaran is applied onto a dry soil surface it will only be effective after rainhas occurred.

To reduce the risk of movement of Katamaran to water:-

a. On clay soils, create a fine, consolidated seedbed to slow the downward movement of water.

b. Do not apply Katamaran to dry soil. Moist soils have fewer and smaller cracks.

c. Do not apply Katamaran if heavy rain is forecast, wait until after the event.

A reduction in crop vigour, weed control and possibly plant stand may occur ifexcessive rain falls shortly after application, particularly on the lighter soils.Where a crop check has occurred, this normally grows out after a few weeksand yields are normally unaffected.

DO NOT use on broadcast crops.

DO NOT overlap spray swaths, particularly on headlands.

DO NOT treat crops which are suffering from wilting, pests or diseases.

DO NOT use Katamaran under frosty conditions in tank mixture with otherproducts.

Under frosty conditions a transient scorch may occur.

2.2 Resistance

Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. black-grass, wild-oats, and Italian rye-grass) have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poorcontrol. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should beadopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Groupand copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser orproduct manufacturer.

157

Katamaran®



Katamaran can be used on all varieties of winter sown oilseed rape

Katamaran may be applied pre or post emergence of the crop but for maximumactivity application must be pre emergence of the weeds.

Pre-crop emergence applications should be made before the crop seed chits,which in warm moist soils may occur within 48 hours of drilling. Seedbedsshould be moist, firm and free from clods, but also see Restrictions/Warnings section. DO NOT USE ON BROADCAST CROPS.

Post-crop emergence applications can be made from when the majority of thecrop has two fully expanded cotyledons until the crop has eight true leaves.The soil should be moist at application, or rainfall must occur shortly afterapplication, but also see Restrictions/Warnings section.

4. FOLLOWING CROPS

Any crop can follow normally harvested winter oilseed rape treated withKatamaran. Ploughing is not essential before sowing a following cereal crop,but is required for other crops.

In the event of crop failure in the autumn or winter, then only the crops listedbelow can be drilled after the use of Katamaran:

Re-drilling the same autumn - winter wheat (excluding Durum), winter barley,winter beans, winter oilseed rape may be sown after ploughing to a depth of15cm

Re-drilling the following spring - spring wheat, spring barley, spring oilseedrape, potatoes, peas, field beans and brassicae may be sown after ploughing.


Apply 2.0 litres per hectare Katamaran as a MEDIUM spray, as defined byBCPC.

Katamaran should be applied in a minimum water volume of 200 litres/hectare.

DO NOT use filters finer than 50 mesh.

SHAKE WELL BEFORE USE.Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation.Pour in the required amount of Katamaran.Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying iscompleted.

Rinse empty containers thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsingdevice or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of fillingand dispose of safely.

DO NOT overlap spray swaths, particularly on headlands.


WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly immediately after use. Fill the tank with clean water and leave overnight.Spray out before storage or using other products.Traces of the product may cause damage to susceptible crops sprayed later.


Katamaran is supplied in 5 litre containers and should be kept dry and frostproofin a suitable pesticide store.

Resistance

Librax should be used in accordance with the instructions for use for thetarget diseases at the specific growth stages indicated.

Use Librax as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategyincorporating other methods of control.


Strains of certain cereal diseases with decreased sensitivity to triazolefungicides are known to exist. Where these occur or develop Librax maynot give satisfactory control.

Librax contains metconazole, a DMI fungicide. Resistance to some DMIfungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch (Mycosphaerellagraminicola) which may seriously affect the performance of some products.For further advice on resistance management in DMIs contact youragronomist or specialist advisor and visit the FRAG-UK website.

3. CROPS

Librax is a systemic fungicide with protectant and curative properties for use inwinter wheat, spring wheat, durum wheat, winter barley, spring barley, triticaleand rye.

Time of Application

Apply Librax at the the start of disease attack following a disease riskassessment or the use of appropriate decision support systems. A maximumof two applications can be made before grain watery ripe stage.

Rate of Application

Apply 2 litres Librax per hectare in 100 to 300 litres of water per hectare.

Librax may be applied at 2 litres per hectare in 100 litres of water per hectarealthough efficacy against stem based diseases at this reduced volume has notbeen evaluated. Therefore application at 100 litres water per hectare is at user’srisk with regards to biological efficacy.

4. FOLLOWING CROPSAfter treating the cereal crop with Librax the followng crops can be sown:barley, cabbages, carrots, clover, dwarf French beans, field beans, lettucemaize, oats, oilseed rape, onions, peas, potatoes, ryegrass, sunflowers, sugarbeet and wheat.The effects of Librax on other crops has not been assessed.

1. CAUTIONS


WEATHERDO NOT apply Meteor when the crop is wet or if rain is imminent.

SEEDBED/SOILOn soils of low fertility, best results will be obtained where adequate nitrogenfertiliser is used.

DO NOT apply Meteor to undersown crops.

2. METHOD OF APPLICATION

2.1 Mixing1. Three quarters fill the tank with water.2. Shake the can well.3. Add Meteor while re-circulating.4. If tank-mixing, add the other product(s) individually ONLY when each hasfully dispersed.

5. Fill the tank.6. Maintain circulation while spraying.

Caution is needed with mixtures of liquid nitrogen fertilisers and Meteor asscorching may occur in certain circumstances.

2.2 Volume of Water200 litres/hectare

2.3 Spray QualityFine or medium (BCPC definition), within the following range:F110/0.6 to 1.6/3.0HC 80 to 90/0.6 to 1.6/3.0

2.4 Speed6-8 km/h for tractor mounted or trailed sprayers

2.5 Boom Height40-50 cm above the crop

3. RECOMMENDATIONSMeteor can be used on seed crops of winter wheat.

Meteor contains two active ingredients, imazaquin and chlormequat chloride.

These active ingredients from different chemical groups have two modes ofaction, both of which can regulate the growth of winter wheat and provideprotection against lodging.

Applied together as Meteor, imazaquin and chlormequat chloride can enhanceyield by affecting the growth of the aerial structure (stem, leaves and ears) ofthe wheat plant.

Meteor is for use on high yield wheat growing systems. It should be applied tocrops during good growing conditions and to those which are at risk fromlodging.

181-186_Nettleban - Eire 24/04/2014 12:59 pm Page 181

1. DIRECTIONS FOR USE1.1 Rate of Application

a) Tractor Mounted Sprayer: Apply 3 litres or 5 litres of Nettleban in 150-400litres of water per hectare, according to the weed spectrum.

The higher recommended volumes of water should be used where nettles andthistles prevail and where weed populations are dense. Optimum results will beachieved by spraying at 4 mph using jets which deliver one litre per minute at3 bars pressure,

E.g. jets from: Spraying Systems 110/03Lurmark 111/03Hardi 4110/16

Where higher volumes are to be applied, it is recommended that the above jetsbe retained while the forward speed is reduced. The use of larger jets is likelyto lead to loss of herbicide due to excessive ‘run-off’.

b) Knapsack treatment using either:

1. Low volume 20 ml of Nettleban per litre of water sprayed shouldbe applied to give a fine coverage of all foliage

Or

2. Medium volume 10 ml of Nettleban per litre of water sprayed shouldbe applied to the point of run-off.

Recommended jets for use with the knapsack sprayer include:

Jet Manufacturer Low Volume Medium volume (fine cover)* (to point of Run-off)

Spraying Systems 110/02 110/03 or 110/04Lurmark 110/02 110/03 or 110/04Hardi 4110/14 4110/16 or 4110/20

*Efficient filtration of both herbicide and water into the knapsack sprayer throughan 80 mesh filter is desirable when using low volume jets.

2. MIXINGWhen mixing, half fill the spray tank with clean water, add the recommendedquantity of Nettleban and continue filling. Agitate during filling and topping upand continue agitation until spraying is completed.

3. SUSCEPTIBILITY OF WEEDS TO NETTLEBANDefinitions of weed susceptibility:-

S = Susceptible. Consistently good control when treated at therecommended time.

MS = Moderately Susceptible. Top growth usually killed and a usefulmeasure of long term control obtained under suitable conditions.

MR = Moderately resistant. Variable effect on top growth, long-term controlunlikely.

R = Resistant. No useful effect.

4. IMPORTANT NOTESDo not leave the product in the machine overnight. Wash equipment thoroughlywith water and a suitable detergent such as Teepol® paying particular attentionto the inside of the top of the spray tank, which should be scrubbed immediatelyafter use. Spray out, fill with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out againbefore storing or using any other product. Traces of the product can cause harmto susceptible crops sprayed later.

5. WARNING5.1 Avoid spray drift into greenhouses or onto other agricultural or horticultural

crops, amenity plantings or gardens. In hot conditions vapour drift may occurmaking it particularly important to assess the risk to neighbouring vegetation.

5.2 Damage may result unless all recommendations are carefully followed.

5.3 Nettles and other weeds sprayed with Nettleban may become increasinglypalatable to stock, and therefore may be preferentially grazed. This could causedigestive upsets and grazing should be prevented until all top growth of theweed is dead (minimum 14 days after spraying).

5.4 Spraying with Nettleban does not remove the poisonous properties of Ragwortor other poisonous weeds and therefore stock should be kept out of the fieldand hay or silage making delayed until all top growth of the weeds hasdisappeared.

5.5 Treated grassland should not be mown or cut for at least 7 days post-spraying.

5.6 Where clover is a valued constituent of the sward it is advisable to use Nettlebanonly as a spot treatment, using a knapsack sprayer.

5.7 Do not apply Nettleban to grass to be taken for seed. Do not sow grass, cloversand root or leafy brassicas by direct drilling or minimal cultivations for at least6 weeks post-application. Grassland should not be rolled or harrowed within 7days before or after spraying.

5.8 Some suppression of weed grasses such as Yorkshire Fog may be observed.

NIRVANA is a herbicide containing pendimethalin and imazamox, for the pre-emergence control of a range of broad-leaf weeds in winter and spring field beans,combining peas and vining peas.

1. RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS

1.1 Efficacy

Residual control may be reduced where soil organic matter exceeds 6%, or onsoils which are cloddy at application.

1.2 Soil types

Nirvana may be applied on any mineral soil types.

DO NOT use on soils containing more than 10% organic matter.

DO NOT apply to soils which are waterlogged or prone to water logging.

1.3 Seedbed preparation

Seedbed must have a fine, firm tilth. Consolidate loose or cloddy seedbedsbefore use.

Weed control maybe reduced on cloddy seedbeds.

DO NOT soil incorporate Nirvana

DO NOT disturb the soil after Nirvana has been applied.

1.4 Crop safety

Cloddy soils may cause the seed to be inadequately covered, which may leadto crop damage.

Some ‘cupping’ of the leaves may occur following application but this isgenerally transient with crops recovering fully.

On stony or gravely soils, crop damage may occur, particularly if heavy rainfollows treatment.

Seed must be drilled to a depth of at least 2.5 cm of settled soil.

DO NOT apply once the plumule is less than 13 mm from the soil surface.

1.5 Weather conditions

Residual control may be reduced under prolonged dry conditions.

DO NOT apply if heavy rain is forecast.

1.6 Spray drift

Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage by drift onto crop and non-cropplants outside the target area.


Concentrated Nirvana may stain. Avoid spillage. Staining is minimised ifskin/clothes are washed immediately. Wash out the sprayer thoroughly after theuse of Nirvana, using a proprietary spray tank cleaner ensuring no residues ofthe product remain.

2.2 Resistance

This product contains imazamox which is an ALS inhibitor, also classified bythe HRAC as ‘Group B’. Repeated use of herbicides with the same mode ofaction can increase the risk of strains of weeds developing resistance to thesecompounds, leading to poor control. In order to minimise the risk, a strategyfor preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. Use productswith different modes of action and from different chemical groups in sequenceor tank-mix, in conjunction with effective cropping rotation and cultivationtechniques. In all cases the recommended rate of use should be adhered to.Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes culturalmethods of control and does not use ALS inhibitors as the sole chemical methodof grass-weed control. Further guidance on weed resistance management isavailable from the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC) and WeedResistance Action Group (WRAG). Follow WRAG Guidelines.

PCS No. 91001


225-234_Pyramin DF Eire 24/04/2014 1:02 pm Page 225

DIRECTIONS FOR USEPyramin DF is a soil acting herbicide which controls germinating weeds by rootabsorption, during or shortly after weed emergence. For optimum results the soil mustbe sufficiently moist at the time of application for the product to form an activeherbicidal layer in the soil.

Pyramin DF may be applied pre-emergence to sugar beet, fodder beet, red beet andmangels, and post-emergence with Betanal E, Betanal Tandem or Betanal Progress tosugar beet. See the relevant section below for full details of each application methodand formulations specified.

Apply as a MEDIUM spray, as defined by BCPC, for pre- drilling or pre-emergencetreatments. For post-emergence applications, apply as a FINE spray (see Sectionbelow).

Pyramin DF is a selective beet herbicide which is safe to the crop and can be used atany seed spacing. Depressions in crop vigour may however occur if Pyramin DF isapplied to crops suffering stress conditions such as those described under"WARNINGS".

Pyramin DF is suitable for use on all soil textural classes except 'coarse sand', 'sand'and 'fine sand' as defined in the Soil Texture (85) System and also excepting soils ofhigh organic content, fen peat and moss soils. The soil type should be accuratelydiagnosed since the recommended rates of use of Pyramin DF applied pre-drilling andpre-emergence are dependent on soil type.

1. APPLICATION METHODSPre-emergence Application - Pyramin DF alone

In sugar beet, the preferred treatment is to apply a programme of Pyramin DFoverall pre-emergence followed by Pyramin DF + Betanal E, Betanal Tandem orBetanal Progress post-emergence applied by the repeat low dose method. Dueto the increased effectiveness of this post- emergence application technique(see Section 1.3 below) the rate of application of the pre-emergence PyraminDF can be reduced, see Table 2 below. In fodder beet, red beet or mangels, orin sugar beet where this post-emergence treatment is not planned, then the fullrate of Pyramin DF pre-emergence is recommended.

Time of Application

Apply Pyramin DF at the time of drilling or immediately afterwards on a seedbedwhich is fine, moist, firm and free from clods. Should spraying be delayed forany reason, application must be made as soon as possible whilst the soil is stillmoist and before any emergence of the beet. To obtain adequate weed controlsignificant rainfall between application and crop emergence is essential tomaintain soil moisture.

Time of Application

See Table 2 for overall rates of application and below for band spraying.


When using the programmed pre-emergence plus post-emergence approach,overall application of the pre-emergence treatment is recommended. In all othersituations, Pyramin DF can be applied pre-emergence either as an overalltreatment or as a band spray.

Band Spraying When band spraying, set up the band sprayer according to themanufacturer's instructions. Use the nozzle tips and pressures recommendedand at the correct speed on a 180 mm band, the volume of water applied willbe 240 litres per sprayed hectare.

For band application add the dose rate per hectare recommended for overallapplication (see Table 2) to 240 litres of water.

Pyramin DF®

226


The area of crop treated based on a 180 mm band width varies with the croprow width as follows:

WARNINGExcessive penetration of the drill coulter may be accompanied by a narrowingof the sprayed band with a consequent increase in the rate of application.

NotesOverdosing by overlapping should be avoided, though its effects may beminimised by spraying across the direction of drilling.

When variability in soil type occurs in one field, use the rate of Pyramin DFrecommended for the lightest soil type present. This may result in poorer weedcontrol on the areas of heavier soil type.

a These rates apply to pre-emergence applications of Pyramin DF where asubsequent post-emergence application of Pyramin DF + Betanal E or BetanalTandem is not planned (see Section above). b These pre-emergence rates apply where a programme of pre-emergencePyramin DF and post-emergence Pyramin DF + Betanal E or Betanal Tandem(repeat low dose method, see below) is to be applied. c As defined in the Soil Texture (85) System. d 3.1 kg to be used only on the heavier soils in this category.

NOTE: When applying Pyramin DF pre-emergence or pre-drilling, use aminimum water volume of 100 litres per hectare.

Table 3Rates of Application for Pyramin DF in combination with Betanal Tandemor Betanal Progress for post emergence use.

1.1 Post-emergence Application in a programme of weed control -sugar beet only

Where the pre-emergence treatments have not given any loss in crop vigour apost-emergence application is recommended to maintain weed controlthroughout the season. This can be applied conventionally or by the repeat lowdose method. If the programmed approach utilising Pyramin DF pre-emergencereduced application rates has been adopted, application by the repeat low dosemethod is recommended.

1.1.1 Repeat Low Dose Method

Pyramin DF in combination with Betanal E (or an approved formulation ofphenmedipham 11.4 % w/w active ingredient).

Time of Application

Apply Pyramin DF + Betanal E as an overall spray when weeds are at thecotyledon stage. The sugar beet can be at any stage of emergence. Up to twofurther applications may be necessary at 6-10 days intervals. If weeds go justbeyond the cotyledon stage, or conditions are very dry or cool, then theapplication rate of Betanal E should be increased (see below) provided that thecrop is at least at the fully expanded cotyledon stage.

Rate of Application

Apply 0.7 kg Pyramin DF + 2.3 litres Betanal E in 80 litres of water per hectare.

If weeds are just beyond the cotyledon stage or weather conditions are very dry

or cool, then for the first application only, increase the rate of Betanal E in theabove mixture to 3.5 litres per hectare. Subsequent applications should be atthe 2.3 litre per hectare Betanal E rate as specified above.

Pyramin DF in combination with Betanal Tandem or Betanal Progress

Apply after the crop has reached the expanded cotyledon stage provided it isgrowing vigorously. If a pre-emergence treatment has been used, delay thistreatment until the crop has reached the two leaf stage provided the crop isgrowing vigorously. See Table 3 for full details of rates and timings.


These repeat low dose applications should be made in 80 litres of water perhectare. Use sprayer nozzles which give a fine spray and a spray pressure of 3-5.5 bar. Either fan or hollow cone nozzles which have an output of 300-600mi/minute at 3 bar can be used. Fan nozzles must have at least an 80° sprayangle.

The following list of nozzles fits the above requirements. Approximateoutput/nozzle is given for a nozzle pressure of 3 bar. If pressure is increased up to 5.5 bar, then nozzle output will increase by approximately one-third.

Output figures are approximate and are for guidance only; sprayers must still becalibrated.

Pyramin DF®

229


Rate of Application

Apply 2 kg Pyramin DF overall + 7 litres Betanal E in 220 litres of water perhectare.


Use sprayer nozzles which give a fine spray and a spray pressure of 2-2.8 bar.The Pyramin DF + Betanal E tank mix may be applied as a band spray; read thesection on Band Spraying for details.

Notes - Conventional/Repeat Low Dose Method

Beet which is suffering from one or more stress factors, such as the effect ofother herbicides, manganese deficiency, lime deficiency, frost, wind or insectdamage, when treated post-emergence may suffer a check and/or plant lossfrom which the crop may not fully recover. (The repeat low dose method is likelyto be safer to the crop under such adverse conditions).

Do not treat beet post-emergence with the above tank mixes when thetemperature is, or is likely to be, above 21 °C on the day of spraying or underconditions of high light intensity.

Application instructions (except for rate of use) given in the Betanal E directionsfor use must be followed.

2. MIXINGThree quarters fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation.Remove the top filter. SLOWLY pour in the required amount of Pyramin DF. Donot empty the contents into the tank as one large mass. Add the remainder ofthe water, replace the filter and continue agitation until spraying is completed.

When tank mixes are to be used each product should be added separately tothe spray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order ofmixing.

3. SUSCEPTIBILITY OF WEEDS TO PYRAMIN DF

S = Susceptible MS = Moderately Susceptible MR = Moderately Resistant R = Resistant - = No information

4. CALIBRATION OF SPRAYING MACHINERYThe spraying equipment should be clean and free from traces of otherchemicals.

Ensure the correct nozzles are fitted:

(a) For the correct water volume for overall sprayers. (b) For the correct drillingspeed for band sprayers.

Check the delivery from each nozzle for uniformity and replace worn tips toensure uniform output.

Calibrate the sprayer and use it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Cross check the band sprayer calibration in the field as follows:

(a) Select a nozzle on the sprayer giving the nearest output to the average andwith the drill in operation collect the spray from this nozzle for a distance of 60metres.

This should be exactly 225 ml. As the spray is collected over a given distance,the quantity will be the same irrespective of the make of nozzles used and this

is a volume rate of 240 litres per sprayed hectare on a 180 mm band.

(b) Repeat as necessary, adjusting the tractor speed until this output is achievedover this distance.

(c) Make sure that the observations are made when the band sprayer is workingsmoothly and not immediately on starting.

Important (d) The final setting of the width of the spray band to 180 mm mustbe made in the field when the drill is in operation and not on a hard surface orheadland. It is essential that the band width is exactly 180 mm, otherwise therate of application will be incorrect. A narrower band may cause crop damageand a wider band will result in poorer weed control. The setting should bechecked in each field treated and also at the beginning of each day's workbecause of the possible effect of weather on soil conditions.

5. INTER-ROW WEED CONTROL FOLLOWING BAND SPRAYINGContinued weed control from Pyramin DF depends on leaving the treated soilundisturbed. Inter-row hoeing, chopping out and singling operations shouldtherefore be arranged to leave as much as possible of the Pyramin DF treatedland intact.

6. SUCCEEDING CROPSThe effects of Pyramin DF persist in the soil for several weeks. Fields whichhave been sprayed but where the crop has failed may be redrilled with sugarbeet, fodder beet, mangels or potatoes after cultivation. They should not be re-drilled with any other crops. Any spring sown crop may follow sugar beet,fodder beet, red beet or mangels harvested in the usual way. Winter cerealsmay be sown in the autumn after ploughing.

7. WARNINGSWhen the crop is growing in unfavourable conditions Pyramin DF may causesome depression in crop vigour, with or without a reduction in stand. Someunfavourable circumstances are:

7.1 When rapid increase in the transpiration rate of the beet causes a suddenincrease in the rate of uptake of Pyramin DF as, for example, occurs when asharp rise in temperature follows a period of low temperature, or a period ofheavy rainfall.

7.2 Where the crop is suffering from trace element deficiency, e.g. manganese.

7.3 When the recommended rate is exceeded, particularly on sandy soils, orwhen conditions are not conducive to even distribution of Pyramin DF in thesoil, such as inadequate soil moisture or poor tilth.

7.4 When rates of nitrogen in excess of those generally recommended are appliedimmediately before drilling. Where higher rates of fertiliser are considerednecessary these must be applied not less than three weeks before drilling.

7.5 When the crop is retarded or damaged due to harrowing or excessiveconsolidation of the soil by the press wheel.

7.6 When the crop is drilled at the incorrect depth.

7.7 When conditions at emergence reduce seedling vigour (e.g. encrustation or"capping" of the soil).

7.8 Where there is heavy loading of seed dressing on individual seeds.

8. IMPORTANT NOTES

8.1 Satisfactory results depend on moisture in the seedbed at the time ofapplication.

8.2 Adequate weed control depends upon sufficient rain falling before emergenceto at least maintain this level of moisture.

8.3 Heavy rain falling shortly after spraying may check the growth of the cropparticularly when water has stood in surface depressions.

8.4 Under conditions of low pH, a reduction in herbicidal effectiveness may benoticed.

8.5 WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly with water and detergent, paying particularattention to the inside of the top of the spray tank which should be scrubbedimmediately after use. Spray out, fill with clean water and leave overnight.Spray out again before storing or using for another product. Traces of theproduct could cause harm to susceptible crops sprayed later.

8.6 Avoid spray drift on to neighbouring crops, particularly lettuce.

9. HERBICIDE RESISTANCE

Strains of some annual grasses, e.g. black-grass, wild- oats and Italian rye-grass, have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poorcontrol. A resistance management strategy for preventing and managingherbicide-resistant grass-weeds should be adopted. Guidelines have beenproduced by the Weed Resistance Action Group. Copies are available fromthe HGCA, BM, your distributor, crop advisor or product manufacturer.

The principles of resistance management included here are based on the"Revised Guidelines for Preventing and Managing Herbicide-Resistant Grass-Weeds", produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group (WRAG).

DIRECTIONS FOR USE


Rovral WG is a protectant fungicide for use on a range of horticultural andagricultural crops.

1. RESTRICTIONS/WARNINGSConsult processors before using on crops intended for processing.

Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops, especially oats.

2. DISEASE CONTROLRovral WG is a protectant and contact fungicide for the control of Botrytiscinerea in protected tomatoes, lettuce and strawberries, ornamental pot plants,raspberries, oilseed rape, salad and bulb onions (including B. squamosa), andcontrol of Alternaria brassicae and Alternaria brassicicola, in brassica seedproduction crops, oilseed rape, Brussels sprout and cauliflower.

2.1 Resistance

Strains of several diseases including Botrytis cinerea resistant to dicarboximidefungicides are known in various crops. Where strains of fungi resistant todicarboximide fungicides (such as iprodione) occur, Rovral WG may not beeffective. In order to minimise the risk of resistance development, Rovral WGshould be used in accordance with FRAC resistance management advice fordicarboximide fungicides:

Recommendations for use of Dicarboximides

l Rovral WG contains a dicarboximide fungicide

l To reduce the risk of resistant strains adversely affecting control

m Avoid the use of consecutive applications of dicarboximide fungicideswhether applied alone or in tank mix.

m Restrict applications to those times when Botrytis infection pressure is high.

m Maintain regular prolonged times when dicarboximides are not used.

l Where resistance is suspected, use Rovral WG in mixture with other fungicides with a different mode of action effective against the same diseases.

Rovral® WG

3.1 Tomatoes (Protected)

Time and rate of Application

For the control of Botrytis cinerea, apply Rovral WG at a rate of 67g per 100litres of water and apply to run-off. Apply Rovral WG from when the secondtruss is in flower; repeat at 14 day intervals or when conditions favour the spreadof Botrytis (such as at trimming or de-leafing).

The programme described above helps to reduce the levels of inoculum withinthe house and hence assists in preventing “ghost-spotting”.

A maximum of 5 applications may be made. A minimum spray interval of 14days must be observed.

3.2 Lettuce (Protected and Outdoor) - Botrytis cinerea


For the control of Botrytis cinerea, apply Rovral WG at a rate of 33g per 100litres of water. Do not exceed a volume of 1000 litres per hectare (equivalentto a maximum of 0.33 kg/ha).

As a guide for protected lettuce, newly planted lettuce with three leaves require5 litres of spray to 22,000 plants. At a later stage of growth, e.g. up to six toeight leaves, 5 litres should treat about 5000 plants. The final spray, beforecutting, will require 5 litres of spray to approximately 1100 plants. For outdoorand protected lettuce a maximum of 3 applications may be made. A minimumspray interval of 14 days must be observed between treatments.

3.3 Ornamental Pot Plants


For the control of Botrytis cinerea, apply Rovral WG at a rate of 67g per 100litres of water. Apply at the onset of disease, then repeat at 21 day intervals asnecessary. Apply to the point of run-off, ensuring good coverage of the plants.Good tolerance to Rovral WG has been shown by the following pot plantspecies:

Tolerance of other species should be checked before making large-scaleapplications.

Treated crop must not be used for human or animal consumption

3.7 Winter and spring oilseed rape


Apply Rovral WG at a rate of 0.67 kg per hectare. A maximum of 1 spray maybe made to each crop.

Rovral WG should be applied in 200 - 400 litres per hectare of water as a finespray (BCPC category), except where drift is a hazard when a medium sprayshould be used. Use the higher volume if the crop is very dense.

Dark leaf spot and pod spot: Alternaria spp.

Protectant applications

Apply 0.67 kg per hectare Rovral WG between mid-flower, i.e. when 20 podsthat are 2.5 cm in length have formed on the main raceme, and the end offlowering.

Disease onset applications

Treat with 0.67 kg per hectare Rovral WG when black pin-head spots first appearon the pods. Pod infections are most likely to occur on those crops whereAlternaria spp. spots can be detected on the uppermost leaves (bracts).

Grey mould: Botrytis cinerea

When applying a protectant spray of Rovral WG at 0.67 kg per hectare atmid-flower for the control of Alternaria spp., application will also control greymould. Application at the end of flowering will be unsatisfactory.

DIRECTIONS FOR USEIMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the product label. Allinstructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe andsuccessful use of this product.

1. RESTRICTIONS/WARNINGSTaint tests have shown that Scala does not taint apples, but growers shouldconsult processors before use on strawberries.

For use by tractor mounted/trailed and handheld broadcast air-assistedsprayers, tractor mounted boom sprayers and knapsack sprayers.


2. DISEASE CONTROLScala is a protectant fungicide for the control of diseases in apples andstrawberries, as summarised below.


2.1 Resistance

Scala contains pyrimethanil, an anilinopyrimidine (AP) fungicide. Scala shouldonly be used as a protectant spray. To prevent less-sensitive strains of Botrytisand Venturia from developing, Scala should be used in a programme,alternating or mixing with products of different modes of action.

Application should be made in accordance FRAC Guidelines. In strawberries,where two Botrytis treatments are made per season, a maximum of oneapplication of an AP-containing product is recommended; in situations whereup to six Botrytis treatments are made per season, a maximum of twoapplications of AP-containing products are recommended.

In apples, against Venturia, a maximum of four AP-containing products isrecommended per season. In locations where AP-insensitive strains of Venturiahave been reported, Scala should be used in mixture with effective scabfungicides of differing modes of action (e.g. Dithianon Flowable).

3. CROPS3.1 Apples

All varieties may be treated.

Time of application

For the control of leaf scab, apply Scala as part of a protectant fungicideprogramme commencing at the start of bud burst. Depending on diseasepressure, treat at intervals of 10 − 14 days, using a maximum of fourapplications of Scala per year. A minimum of 56 days must elapse between thelast spray of Scala and harvest.

Rate of application

Apply 1.125 litres Scala in 500 − 1500 litres of water per hectare.

1.4 Stump and Bark Treatments

Use a knapsack sprayer fitted with a low volume jet to give good coverage tothe bark surface.

1.5 Application to Cut Stumps

Apply at any time between felling and the onset of coppicing.

150 ml of Scrubkiller per litre of water. Apply 100 ml of the solution per 50 cmof diameter of cut stump using a knapsack sprayer fitted with an 80/03 jet orsimilar to cover all the exposed bark paying particular attention to the 'rim’ ofthe cut surface and the collar area of the stump. The heartwood need not betreated.

1.6 Basal Bark or Frill Girdling

For removing standing trees of scrub. Rate 100 ml/litre of paraffin. Spray to givegood cover to the bottom metre of bark. For treatment of trees of more than15 cm in diameter best results will be achieved by cutting 10-20 notches in a25-50 cm band around the circumference of the bark before spraying Scrubkillerdiluted with paraffin.

2.1 Following Foliar treatments

Rate 10-20 ml/litre - one month

60-75 ml/litre - 3 months

2.2 Following basal bark or cut stump treatments

Within 1 metre of treated area - 3 months

Beyond 1 metre of the treated area - no delay

3. SPRAYER CLEANINGDo not leave the product in the machine overnight. Wash equipment thoroughlywith water and a suitable detergent such as Teepol, paying particular attentionto the inside of the top of the spray tank, which should be scrubbed immediatelyafter use. Spray out, fill with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out againbefore storing or using for another product. Traces of the product can use harmto susceptible crops sprayed later.

4. WARNINGS4.1 Avoid drift onto crop species. Both hardwoods and softwoods are sensitive to

Scrubkiller particularly during periods of sustained or rapid growth.

The optimum time for applications in Pines, Spruce and Fir is mid-Autumn whenthe crop growth has ceased and terminal buds have sealed but beforesenescence of the target weeds.

4.2 Treatments may damage desirable trees or shrubs where the roots penetratethe treated area.

4.3 Avoid spray drift into greenhouses or onto other agricultural or horticulturalcrops, amenity plantings or gardens. In hot conditions vapour drift may occurmaking it particularly important to assess the risk to neighbouring vegetation.

4.4 Avoid spray drift which may cause damage. Damage may result unless allrecommendations are carefully followed.

A herbicide for the control of annual-grass and broad-leaved weeds in a wide rangeof crops.


1.1 Efficacy

Some soil moisture must be present for Stomp Aqua to be activated. Bestresults will be obtained if rainfall occurs within seven days of application.

280

Stomp® Aqua


Residual control may be reduced: - under prolonged dry conditions- on soils with a high Kd factor- where organic matter exceeds 6%- where ash content is high

Do not disturb the soil after Stomp Aqua has been applied as this will result inreduced weed control.

Where cultural techniques which encourage the build up of organic residues inthe surface soil are practised for a number of seasons, the effectiveness ofresidual herbicides may be reduced. In such circumstances periodic ploughingis recommended to disperse residues into a greater volume of soil.

1.2 Soil types

Stomp Aqua may be used on all mineral soil types.

Do not use on soils with more than 10% organic matter.

On stony or gravely soils there is a risk of crop damage, especially if heavy rainfalls soon after application.

Do not use on water logged soil or soils prone to water logging.


Trash and straw should be incorporated evenly during seedbed preparation.

Seedbed must have a fine, firm tilth.

Consolidate loose or cloddy seedbeds before use.

Following pre-emergence applications, unconsolidated clods (especially if largerthan 75mm (3”) diameter) may reduce the level of weed control and cause seedto be inadequately covered, which could result in crop damage.

1.4 Crop safety

Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage by drift onto plants outside thetarget area.

Do not apply Stomp Aqua to crops suffering from stress, which may be causedfor example by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed conditions orprevious chemical treatment.

Seed should be covered with a minimum of 3.2 cm of settled soil (2.5 cm forPeas and Sunflowers, 5 cm for Maize).

Shallow drilled crops should be treated post-emergence.

Do not soil incorporate.

Do not spray undersown crops.

Do not undersow crops treated with Stomp Aqua.

Stomp Aqua should not be used on protected crops, or in greenhouses.

1.5 Other Restrictions/Warnings

For professional use onlyBefore using Stomp Aqua on crops to be processed please consult yourprocessor.Concentrated or diluted Stomp Aqua will stain. Avoid spillage. Staining is minimised or completely removed if skin and clothes are washedimmediately. Hose down machinery immediately after use with a spray tank cleaner.

- = no data

2.3 Resistance managementStrains of some annual grasses (eg Black-grass, Wild-Oats, and ItalianRyegrass) have developed resistance to herbicides, which may lead to poorcontrol. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should beadopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Groupand copies are available from Teagasc, your distributor, crop adviser or productmanufacturer.

Populations of Black-grass and Italian ryegrass with high levels of enhancedmetabolism resistance will not be fully controlled.

Key elements of the resistance management strategy for Stomp Aqua:

Always follow WRAG guidelines for preventing and managing herbicide resistantweeds.

Maximise the use of cultural control measures wherever possible (e.g. croprotation, ploughing, stale seedbeds, delayed drilling, etc).

Use tank mixes or sequences of effective herbicides with different modes ofaction within individual crops, or successive crops.

For the control of herbicide resistant grassweeds, always use Stomp Aqua intank mix or sequence with other effective graminicides with different modes ofaction.

Apply pre-emergence of weeds wherever possible. If applications are delayed,apply post-emergence products/mixtures to small, actively growing weeds,especially where high levels of resistance are suspected and to reduce the riskof resistance development.

Monitor fields regularly and investigate the reasons for any poor control.

- if runners are likely to be slow in establishing due to stress conditions, such as drought, at the time of planting, the application of Stomp Aqua should be delayed until plants have established and are free of stress.

- application made after runners have started growing away may reduce the initial vigour of new foliage but thiswill be rapidly outgrown.

- do not apply Stomp Aqua before October to beds newly planted with cold-stored runner or beds newly planted in late summer.

- pre-planting application of Stomp Aqua is not recommended.

Established beds

- apply Stomp Aqua to weed free soil from autumn to early spring during the dormant period of the crop.

- Stomp Aqua applied after the end of March or after theemergence of flower trusses in the spring may affect cropyield, particularly if conditions adverse to vigorous plant growth follow application.

- do not apply Stomp Aqua during the flower initiation period (immediately post-harvest to mid-September).

Notes Leaf growth of strawberries may be checked following applications of Stomp Aqua in the spring but, in extensiveexperimentation, this has been shown not to affect yield.

DO NOT use Stomp Aqua on protected crops or crops grown in green houses.

PCS No. 93241


297-300_Storm Secure - Eire 24/04/2014 1:08 pm Page 297

1. DIRECTIONS FOR USEStorm Secure is a potent anti-coagulant rodenticide effective against all speciesof rats and mice, including those resistant to other products.

Storm Secure will kill rats and mice following a single feed but death occursafter several days, therefore bait shyness and the need for prebaiting areavoided. Storm Secure is ready to use and should not be diluted by the additionof other foodstuffs.

A thorough survey of the infested area, particularly secluded and shelteredplaces, is essential to determine the extent and severity of the infestation.


Rats: Place 3 blocks in covered bait trays at numerous locations close to holes,runways and where rats are active. Secure the bait blocks with wire into baitboxes and bait tubes. In areas of high infestation, bait points may be only 5metres apart: this distance increasing up to 10 metres where rats are scarce.Put one wax block inside each active burrow. Any block fragments found awayfrom a bait point should be picked up and disposed of.

Mice: Place 1 block in covered bait trays in many locations throughout theinfested area, approximately 1 metre apart along mouse runs and where miceare known to feed. Secure the bait blocks with wire into bait boxes and baittubes. Inspect bait points after 3 days and replace any blocks, which havebeen consumed. Repeat 4 days later and then every 7 days and move anyuntouched blocks to active areas. Most infestations will be eliminated in 21days. Any block fragments found away from a bait point should be picked upand disposed of.

2. FIRST AID AND MEDICAL ADVICEThe active ingredient (flocoumafen) is an indirect blood anticoagulant. Ingestionof a large quantity of bait would be required before a toxic dose is expected.In general, an increased tendency to bleed could indicate poisoning. In caseof ingestion or an increased tendency to bleed, obtain medical attentionimmediately and show this label to the doctor.

For physicians only:

Vitamin K1, is antidotal. Determine prothorombin times not less than eighteenhours after consumption. If elevated, adminster Vitamin K1 in divided doses,40 mg/day for adults, 20 mg/day for children. Continue until prothrombin timenormalises. After withdrawal of the antidote, continue determination ofprothrombin time for two weeks and resume treatment if elevation occurs inthat time. NB Vitamin K3 is not effective.

For emergency medical advice please telephone the National PoisonsInformation Centre at Beaumont Hospital.

Stratos® UltraHERBICIDE

PCS No. 91348


301-306_Stratos Ultra - Eire 24/04/2014 1:09 pm Page 301

1. DIRECTIONS FOR USEStratos Ultra is a systemic grass herbicide. It controls most of the annual andperennial grasses in the listed crops as an overall spray. It is rapidly absorbed throughthe leaves and moves throughout the plant to the growing points. Decay occursrapidly in the stems and roots. Stratos Ultra acts principally through the foliage andit is, therefore, independent of soil type. It is effective on grasses from the two leafstage until the second node stage. Stratos Ultra is rainfast one hour after application.

Stratos Ultra should be applied post-weed emergence for control in the crops listed.

Application

All applications should be made as a FINE spray, as defined by BCPC, unless thehighest water volumes are used when FINE or MEDIUM sprays are permissible.

Rate of Use

Grass weeds vary in their susceptibility to Stratos Ultra. Identify the species to becontrolled and then consult Section 3.1 below to select the appropriate rate of use.

1.1 Winter and Spring Oilseed Rape

Stratos Ultra may be applied from when the crop has fully expanded cotyledons untilbefore the crop canopy prevents adequate spray penetration.

1.2 Sugar Beet, Fodder Beet and Mangels

Stratos Ultra can be applied from the two true leaf stage of the crop until before thecrop canopy prevents adequate spray penetration.

1.3 Potatoes

Stratos Ultra may be applied at any crop stage before the crop canopy preventsadequate spray penetration.

1.4 Peas

Stratos Ultra may be applied to all varieties of combining and vining peas.

Apply from the third node stage of the crop until before the crop canopy preventsadequate spray penetration.

A satisfactory crystal violet wax test (see PGRO information sheet 143 and Appendix8) should be carried out if leaf wax may have been affected by unfavourable growingor weather conditions. Other post-emergence crop protection products will alsoaffect wax levels and a wax test may be necessary. Ideally, Stratos Ultra should followapplications of broad-leaf herbicides, but where Stratos Ultra is applied before otherproducts (i.e. because grass weeds are the major problem) it is essential to conducta satisfactory crystal violet wax test before applying the next treatment.

1.5 Winter and Spring Field Beans and Broad Beans

Stratos Ultra may be applied from the two leaf pairs stage of field beans and thethree leaf pair stage of broad beans until before the crop canopy prevents adequatespray penetration.

1.6 Swedes, Cabbages, Cauliflowers and Brussels sprouts

Stratos Ultra may be applied from the two expanded leaf stage until before the cropcanopy prevents adequate spray penetration.

1.7 Linseed

Stratos Ultra may be applied from when the crop is 2.5 cm tall until before the cropcanopy prevents adequate spray penetration.

1.8 Carrots and Parsnips

Stratos Ultra may be applied from the 2 leaf stage of the crop until before the cropcanopy prevents adequate spray penetration.

Stratos® Ultra

302


1.9 Bulb Onions, Salad Onions and Leeks

Stratos Ultra may be applied from when the crop has two true leaves until beforethe crop canopy prevents adequate spray penetration. When used in sequence withpost-emergence products, ensure that leaf wax levels are adequate to affordprotection for application of each product.

1.10 Strawberries

Stratos Ultra may be applied from when the crop has four true leaves until beforethe crop canopy prevents adequate spray penetration.

If temperatures are likely to exceed 20°C at or after spraying, delay application untilthe cool of the evening.

1.11 Ornamental Bulbs

Stratos Ultra may be applied when the crop is 5-10 cm tall. It has been used ontulips, narcissi, hyacinths and irises. However, certain species and varieties may bemore sensitive to chemical treatment than others and growers are therefore advisedto first spray a small proportion of the plants to check their tolerance before treatingthe rest of the crop.

1.12 Farm Forestry

Stratos Ultra may be applied to Ash, Beech, Oak, Poplar, Sycamore and Willow atany time after transplanting, once plants are established.

Up to two applications in any twelve month period can be used, provided the totaldose does not exceed 3.25 l/ha.

1.13 Spray Volume

The standard volume is 220 litres/hectare but 100 litres/hectare may be used in opencrops for control of annual weeds which are easily accessible to the spray (i.e. atrates of Stratos Ultra up to 2.5 litres/hectare only). DO NOT use the 100 litre sprayvolume for control of perennial grasses or when applying tank mixtures. Use 330litres/hectare if either of the following conditions apply:: dense weed growth or crop cover: when spraying ridged crops with a prevailing side drift

1.14 Sequences with other products

Stratos Ultra may follow pre-emergence treatments to any crop, provided that thecrop is undamaged. When used in sequence with other post-emergence products:• allow at least 7 days between applications.• allow 14 days if Basagran is used.• check the labels of all products for specific restrictions.

2. MIXING AND SPRAYINGHalf fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in the requiredamount of Stratos Ultra. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation untilspraying is completed. Rinse empty containers and empty into the tank.

When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to thespray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing.

All tank-mixtures should be used immediately after mixing.

3. WEED CONTROL

3.1 Susceptibility of Grass Weeds to Single Application of Stratos Ultra

3.2 Scutch and Other Perennials

Sufficient foliage should have emerged to absorb the spray. Shoots not emergedor just emerging at application will not be controlled. Under poor growingconditions or where severe infestations occur, a second application at 2.0litre/hectare may be required if regrowth occurs. This sequential application ofStratos Ultra may be used on all recommended crops except oilseed rape.

DO NOT cultivate for at least 14 days after spraying to allow Stratos Ultra totranslocate to the underground rhizomes. Leave a longer interval (up to 21 days)if growing conditions are poor.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructionswithin this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and effective use ofthe product.

Stroby WG is a novel strobilurin (QoI) fungicide with excellent protectant activity forcontrol of leaf and fruit scab in apples leading to an increase in the production ofquality fruits. When Stroby WG is used for control of apple scab a reduction of applepowdery mildew may also be obtained. Stroby WG also gives protectant activity forcontrol of powdery mildew in strawberries and blackcurrants and mildew andblackspot on roses.


Stroby WG has not been tested on all rose varieties and it is therefore advisableto test a small area of plants first for sensitivity under the given growingconditions.

Integrated pest management: The suitability for use of Stroby WG inintegrated pest management (IPM) systems has not been fully assessed,although studies have demonstrated safety to the predatory mite Typhlodromuspyri and to the ladybird Coccinella septempunctata.

Safety to bees: Stroby WG is harmless to honey bees and may be appliedduring flowering. Consideration should however be given to informing local beekeepers when intending to spray orchards in flower.

Consult processors before use.


Use a minimum water volume of 200 litres per hectare in tank mix.


2. RESISTANCE

In order to minimise risk of resistance, Stroby WG should be used in aprogramme with products of different chemical groups, in sequence and/ortank-mix.

2.1 Apples

Use a maximum of four applications of Stroby WG per year. Where the totalnumber of annual fungicidal treatments to the crops is less than twelve, themaximum number of treatments with Stroby WG or other QoI products shouldbe three.

DO NOT use Stroby WG as the final spray in the season. DO NOT use morethan two applications of Stroby WG consecutively. Blocks of two applicationsof Stroby WG must be separated by a minimum of two applications of afungicide from a different cross-resistance group.

2.2 Blackcurrants, strawberries and roses

DO NOT apply more than three applications of Stroby WG per year. DO NOTuse consecutive applications of Stroby WG, and alternate with fungicides froma different cross-resistance group. Use a maximum of one QoI spray out ofthree fungicide applications.

2.1 Resistance

Use Venture Extra as part of an Integrated Crop Management (ICM) strategyincorporating other methods of control, including where appropriate otherfungicides with a different mode of action.

Venture Extra contains epoxiconazole, a DMI fungicide. Resistance to someDMI fungicides has been identified in Septoria leaf blotch (Mycosphaerellagraminicola) which may seriously affect the performance of some products. Forfurther advice on resistance management in DMIs contact your agronomist orspecialist advisor, and visit the FRAG-UK website.

Venture Extra contains boscalid which belongs to the SDHI (carboxamide) groupof fungicides. To minimise the risk of resistance occurring, apply a maximumof two SDHI fungicide sprays per cereal crop.

319-326_Wing-P - Eire 24/04/2014 1:10 pm Page 319


Wing-P is a herbicide for the control of grass and broad-leaved weeds in forage andgrain maize.

1. RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS

1.1 Efficacy

Some soil moisture must be present for Wing-P to be activated. Best resultswill be obtained if rainfall occurs within seven days of application.

Residual control may be reduced:

- under prolonged dry conditions- on soils with a high Kd factor- where organic matter exceeds 6%- where ash content is high

DO NOT disturb the soil after Wing-P has been applied as this will result inreduced weed control.

Where cultural techniques which encourage the build up of organic residues inthe surface soil are practised for a number of seasons, the effectiveness ofresidual herbicides may be reduced. In such circumstances periodic ploughingis recommended to disperse residues into a greater volume of soil.

1.2 Soil types

Wing-P may be used on all mineral soil types.

DO NOT use on soils with more than 10% organic matter.

On stony or gravely soils there is a risk of crop damage, especially if heavy rainfalls soon after application.

Do not use on water logged soil or soils prone to water logging.


Trash and straw should be incorporated evenly during seedbed preparation.

Seedbed must have a fine, firm tilth.

Consolidate loose or cloddy seedbeds before use.

Following pre-emergence applications, unconsolidated clods (especially if largerthan 75mm (3") diameter) may reduce the level of weed control and cause seedto be inadequately covered, which could result in crop damage.

1.4 Crop safety

Extreme care should be taken to avoid damage by drift onto plants outsidethe target area.

Do not apply Wing-P to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused forexample by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed conditions or previouschemical treatment.

Seed should be covered with a minimum of 5 cm of settled soil.

Shallow drilled crops should be treated post-emergence.

Care should be taken to avoid overlap of spray swaths.

Do not soil incorporate.

Do not undersow crops treated with Wing-P.

Wing-P®

1.5 Other Restrictions/Warnings

Before using Wing-P on crops to be processed please consult your processor.

Concentrated or diluted Wing-P will stain. Avoid spillage.

Staining is minimised or completely removed if skin and clothes are washedimmediately.

Hose down machinery immediately after use with a spray tank cleaner.

Strains of some annual grasses (eg Black-grass, Wild-Oats, and ItalianRyegrass) have developed resistance to herbicides, which may lead to poorcontrol. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should beadopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Groupand copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser orproduct manufacturer.

3. CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATIONWing-P can be used on all varieties of forage maize and grain maize.

4. FOLLOWING CROPS

4.1 Following crops after normal harvest

Before Rye grass is drilled after a very dry season, plough or cultivate to at least15cm.

For crops other than cereals plough or cultivate to at least 15cm.

4.2 In the event of crop failure

In the event of crop failure the land must be ploughed or thoroughly cultivatedto a minimum depth of 15cm to ensure any residues are evenly dispersedthroughout the soil.

The minimum intervals (specified below) should elapse between application ofWing-P and the sowing of one of the following crops listed below.

APPENDIX 1

SOIL CLASSIFICATION

The Soil Texture (85) System came into operation in the Autumn of 1985. This is asystem introduced by ADAS which all interested parties have agreed to adopt. Howto determine the texture of a soil, by hand, under this system is described below.

Hand texturing

To determine the texture of a soil, first moisten it gradually until there is sufficientmoisture to hold the particles together. Addition of water in excess of this moist statemust be avoided until later in the assessment. Take a small amount of the moistenedsoil and knead it between fingers and thumb, working the soil down thoroughly toeliminate the effects of structure. The proportions of sand, silt and clay in the soil areestimated as follows:

The dominance of sand is related to the degree of grittiness in the sample, thedominance of silt is associated with a smooth, soapy or silky nature to the soil andthe amount of silt plus clay is assessed by the ease with which the soil moulds intoa coherent ball and the force required to deform this ball. The proportion of silt andclay in the soil is also related to the extent to which the thumb can induce smearingand polish.

Add more water to the moist soil until the point of maximum stickiness is reached.Stickiness is measured by the force required to separate forefinger and thumb – thegreater the clay content the more sticky the soil.

The feel of the soil is strongly affected by the organic matter content which usuallymakes the soil feel more silty. The presence of appreciable organic matter, additionalto that normally found in topsoils, can in most cases be identified by the dark colourof the soil and the silty nature (silky soapy feel) it confers to the soil. Additional organicmatter confers cohesion to sandy soils but reduces the cohesion of clays.

Using the keys

It is first necessary to decide if the soil is mineral (Key 1) or organic or peaty (Key 2).Most arable soils are mineral, with less than 6 to 10% organic matter. Organic soilsare associated with a darker colour and smoother feel. Organic sands are generallybetter aggregated, and organic clays have weaker clods that produce a finer tilth.Dark coloured sandy topsoils over podzolic soils are usually mineral and not organic.The location of the soil gives some indication; poorly drained soils that have beenpermanent grassland may be organic, and soils occurring in fenland may be peaty.

Key 1 – The identification of mineral soil textures by hand texturing

Take about a dessertspoonful of soil. If dry, wet up gradually kneading thoroughlybetween finger and thumb until any aggregates are broken down. Enough moistureis needed to hold the soil together and for the soil to exhibit its maximum cohesion.

Answer each question in turn and depending on the answer, yes or no, go on to thenext question until the texture is reached.

NOTES:

1. Adsorptive capacity for pesticides increases with soil organic matter content.

2. Organic matter content tends to increase with clay content. For example inarable areas of Midland and Southern England clays generally contain 2.8to 4.0% organic matter, compared with 1.0 to 1.5% in loamy sands.

3. For each textural group the organic matter content within a particular areawill be lowest under continuous arable cropping and highest in ley-arablesystems. Soil organic matter generally increases with annual rainfall anddistance North and West.

4. The prefix ‘organic’ is applied to the above mineral texture classes if organicmatter levels are relatively high. The ‘sands’ and loamy sands howeverappear organic when they only contain about 6% organic matter whereas‘clays’ appear organic at about 10%. Organic matter levels between 1 and10% cannot be detected by texture and must be determined by analysis.

5. The prefix ‘peaty’ is applied when organic matter levels are between 20%and 35%.

6. ‘Peat soils’ are those containing more than 35% of organic matter.

7. The organic matter percentages refer to the values determined by thechromic acid oxidation technique and not by the loss on ignition technique,which can produce considerably higher values.

8. The risk of herbicide leaching on stony or gravelly soils is greater and texturalgrouping for such soils may need to be modified. In ‘stony soils’ stone(particles greater than 2 mm) content is 5-15% by volume. In ‘very stonysoils’ stone content is more than 15%.

9. The prefix calcareous (Calc) is applied when soils contain more than 5%calcium carbonate.

GUIDELINES FOR PREVENTING AND MANAGING HERBICIDE-RESISTANTGRASS-WEEDS

Herbicide resistance in Black-grass is a continuing problem, and resistance inItalian Rye-grass and wild Oats has also been found in the UK. This appendixprovides guidelines aimed at preventing the further development of resistanceand controlling existing resistant populations of all three of these annual grass-weeds.

WHAT IS RESISTANCE?

Herbicide resistance is the inherited ability of a weed to survive a rate ofherbicide which would normally give effective control. This inherited abilitycontrasts with poor herbicide activity resulting from incorrect application oradverse environmental conditions.

The term cross-resistance is used when resistance occurs to severalherbicides with the same, or different, modes of action. Even new herbicidesmay offer no solution – there may be resistance to them from the first time theyare used.

HOW COMMON IS RESISTANCE?

Herbicide-resistant Black-grass (Alopecurus myosuroides) was first detected in1982 and is now widespread across all the major winter cereal growing regionsof England. Resistance has recently been detected in Scottish Black-grasspopulations for the first time.

The occurrence of herbicide-resistant Italian Rye-grass (Lolium multiflorum) isalso increasing and had been identified on over 320 farms in 28 counties by2004. No evidence of herbicide-resistant Perennial Rye-grass (Lolium perenne)has been reported.

Herbicide-resistant wild Oats (Avena spp.) are a relatively more recentdevelopment and were first detected in England in 1993 and by 2004 had beenfound on over 200 farms in England. Resistance has been found in both speciesof wild Oats – common wild Oats (A. fatua) and winter wild oats (A. sterilis ssp.ludoviciana).

RECOGNISING RESISTANCE IN THE FIELD

Resistance may be suspected if a herbicide fails to give satisfactory weedcontrol. However, many other factors can be responsible. It is difficult to confirmresistance solely on the basis of field observation, but some indicators are:

1. The level of control of other susceptible weed species. If these have been controlled effectively, then resistance is a possibility.

2. The presence of living plants next to dead plants of the same species.

3. Past experience. If a gradual decline in control has been noticed over a period of years, resistance may be responsible.

4. Herbicide history. Repeated annual use of the same herbicide, or herbicides with the same mode of action, favours selection for resistance.

5. Cropping and cultural history. Many cases of resistance are associated with intensive winter cereals and non-inversion tillage.

6. Occurrence of resistance in the vicinity.


Appendix 2

332

SUMMARY OF RECENT RESEARCH RESULTS

Herbicide resistance is inherited and occurs through selection of plants thatsurvive herbicide treatment. With repeated selection, resistant plants multiplyuntil they dominate the population.

In Black-grass, the two resistance mechanisms which have been identified areenhanced metabolism and target site resistance.

These two mechanisms are independent. Each can occur alone or incombination with the other in different plants within a single field, or even withinthe same plant. Knowing which mechanisms are present can help define themost appropriate herbicide strategies.

The mechanisms of resistance in UK wild Oats and Italian Rye-grass populationsare unknown at present, but target site resistance is probably involved.

ACTION PLAN

GENERAL

• Adopt a long-term strategy integrating cultural and chemical control measures.

• Achieving maximum benefits from cultural and chemical control depends on attention to detail. This is the most important factor determining the success of any anti-resistance strategy.

PREVENTION OF RESISTANCE

• Understand the factors favouring resistance and consider whether you are at risk.

• Keep accurate field records to include details of cropping, cultivations, herbicide use and the level of control achieved.

• DO NOT assume that resistance is the only reason for herbicide failure. Other possible reasons include: inappropriate choice of herbicide, dose too low, incorrect timing, faulty spraying, adverse weather conditions, poor seedbeds, weeds too big or germinate after spraying and inadequate coverage of the weeds due to crop shielding.

• Monitor herbicide performance. If you are concerned that resistance may be developing, collect a seed sample of the weed in July when the seed hasmatured and before it sheds and have a resistance test carried out.

• Use cultural control measures to reduce the reliance on herbicides (see ‘Cultural control methods’). Minimising herbicide use reduces the chance of resistance development.

Enhanced metabolism (EMR)

Resistant plants detoxifyherbicides.

Resistance is often partial, ratherthan absolute.

Most common mechanism.

Affects most herbicides tovarying degrees.

Target site resistance (TSR)

Site of herbicide activity blocked.

Resistance is absolute andresults in very poor control.

2 types of TSR;

ACCase TSR is the mostcommon and is specific to ‘fops’,‘dims’ and ‘den’ herbicides.

ALS TSR is increasing and isspecific to sulfonylurea andrelated herbicides.


Appendix 2

333

• Ensure herbicide choice and dose are appropriate for the crop, target weed, application time, climatic and soil conditions. In general, applications to small weeds are likely to be more effective (See ‘Optimising Herbicide Strategy’).

• DO NOT use ACCase (‘fops’, ‘dims’ or ‘den’ herbicides) or ALS (sulfonylurea) herbicides as the sole means of grass-weed control in consecutive crops because resistance to these herbicides can occur extremely rapidly over only two or three seasons.

MANAGEMENT OF RESISTANCE

• Place a major emphasis on cultural control measures (See ‘Cultural control methods’) in order to minimise grass-weed populations by non-chemical means.

• Identify the herbicides to which your grass-weeds are resistant. This can help determine the most appropriate herbicides to include in your management strategy.

• Early detection is very important. Rapid and effective tests are available to help distinguish between the different types of resistance. Collect representative seed samples for testing bearing in mind that resistance varies between fields and farms.

• Seek expert advice and develop a suitable integrated weed management plan to include cropping, cultural and chemical control options (See ‘Optimising Herbicide Strategy’).

• Always follow Weed Resistance Action Group (WRAG) guidelines.

CULTURAL CONTROL METHODSA wide range of non-herbicidal methods are available for reducing weedpopulations (some of which may conflict with advice for control of pests andpathogens and for reducing nitrate leaching).

(a) Crop rotation. Adopting as diverse a rotation as possible, including non-cereal and spring sown crops, reduces the dominance of Black-grass and other annual grass weeds. Overall herbicide use may be reduced and a wider choice of different herbicide modes of action can be used.

In the future, the use of genetically modified crops may allow the use of non-selective herbicides, such as glyphosate or glufosinate, in broad-leaved break crops.

(b) Cultivations. Ploughing reduces weed numbers and lowers resistance risk. It buries freshly-shed seeds and brings older seeds back to the surface, which have been exposed to different selection pressures. This increases the proportion of susceptible plants in the weed population.

HERBICIDE RESISTANCE RISK FACTORS

Agronomic factor Lowest risk Highest risk

Cropping system Good rotation of spring Continuous winterand autumn crops cereals

Cultivation system Annual ploughing Continuous non-ploughing

Control method Cultural control only Herbicides only

Herbicide use Different modes of action Single mode of actionthroughout the rotation

Weed infestation level Low High

Resistance incidence None in vicinity Identified locally insimilar cropping systems


Appendix 2

334

For maximum benefit, freshly shed seeds of Black-grass and Italian Rye-grass must be buried to a depth from which seedlings are unlikely to emerge (> 5cm), so the best possible inversion is needed. Black-grass and Italian Rye-grass seeds are relatively non-persistent in the seed bank (70-80% decline rate per year), so usually fewer old buried seeds are brought back up to the surface. Ploughing is less beneficial at reducing wild-oat populations as seedlings can emerge from greater depths and seed persistence is far greater.

In contrast, non-inversion tillage is far less effective at reducing grassweeds. In field trials, ploughing has reduced Black-grass populations inwinter wheat by an average of 63% (range 17-98%) relative to non-inversiontillage.

In some situations ploughing is not feasible, but rotational ploughing, once every 2-5 years, may be an acceptable alternative. In-crop cultivations such as harrowing or inter-row hoeing are traditional methods of weed control but the feasibility and effectiveness of these techniques depends on the type of crop.

(c) Stubble hygiene. It is important that all weed seedlings that have emerged before sowing are destroyed, otherwise some may re-establish in the crop. This is best achieved by using non-selective herbicides such as glyphosate.

(d) Delayed drilling. Delayed drilling of winter cereals allows a higher proportion of weed seedlings to emerge and be controlled before sowing, provided there is sufficient soil moisture for germination. This can be an effective means of reducing the potential infestation because many annual grass weeds have relatively short periods of innate dormancy. In field trials, delaying drilling of winter wheat by three weeks (e.g. from mid-September to early October) has reduced Black-grass populations by an average of 42% (range 6-76%).

(e) Crop competition. Some agronomic practices favour the development of competitive crops which are better able to suppress weeds, e.g. higher than normal seed rates, more competitive crops or varieties, narrower row spacings, improved drainage, good seedbeds.

(f) Prevention of seed return. Cutting or spraying off patches of weeds with a non-selective herbicide may be useful in some situations. Hand rouging is feasible at low weed populations or with patches of tall weeds such as wild-Oats.

(g) Avoid the introduction and spread of resistant seeds and plants. Avoid sowing contaminated seed and minimise the spread of weed seeds and plants in combine harvesters, cultivation equipment, straw or manure. If resistant weeds are confined to a distinct patch, plan cultural, roguing and harvesting operations to contain resistant weeds within that area.

(h) Set-aside/fallowing. Fallowing is a traditional method of weed control andprovides an opportunity to reduce weed populations. However, the failure to prevent seed return in these situations may lead to increased weed problems in subsequent crops. The use of a sown plant cover and/or application of glyphosate in May/early June can help minimise weed seed return.

OPTIMISING HERBICIDE STRATEGYMany of the most active herbicides (e.g. ALS and ACCase inhibiting herbicides)also pose a very high resistance risk. It is essential to utilise strategies to ensurethat resistance does not develop to these herbicides and also to thoseherbicides which pose a lower risk (e.g. pendimethalin). This means maximisingthe benefit from pre-emergence herbicides and ensuring the effective use andtiming of post-emergence products.

Application. The correct application of any pesticide is very important. Payattention to the recommended rate, nozzle choice, water volumes and spraytiming to maximise product effectiveness.

Where products are approved for both pre- and post-weed emergenceapplications, apply pre-emergence where possible when resistance issuspected.

Apply post-emergence products/mixtures to small, actively growing weeds,especially where high levels of resistance are suspected and to reduce the riskof resistance development.

Pre-emergence herbicides. Pre-emergence herbicides can be very effectivein reducing the overall weed population and the need for higher resistance riskpost-emergence products. They have a valuable role in any resistancemanagement strategy.

Pre-emergence herbicides, e.g. pendimethalin, flufenacet, prosulfocarb and tri-allate, are all affected by enhanced metabolism resistance, but generally onlyto a limited extent. Products or programmes based on these actives will usuallygive useful levels of control. Current evidence is that resistance to theseherbicides does not build up rapidly.

Post-emergence herbicides. The ACCase (‘fops’, ‘dims’, ‘dens’) and ALSinhibitors (e.g. sulfonylureas) can provide very good levels of control of sensitiveBlack-grass. However, they are very prone to resistance and if target siteresistance increases to a high frequency in any field, very poor control is likely.

To avoid, or delay, resistance development, do not rely on these chemicalclasses as the sole means of grass weed control in successive crops. Use theseherbicides in mixture or sequence with lower risk modes of action, to helpreduce weed populations. Where possible, use lower resistance risk post-emergence herbicides in the rotation, e.g. propyzamide and carbetamide, inoilseed rape.

The use of mixtures and sequences of herbicides with different modes of actionis considered to be the most sensible approach, but it will not prevent furtherselection for resistance and so will delay, rather than prevent, the developmentof resistance. Also remember that there are restrictions on the sequential useof both ACCase and ALS inhibitors which were introduced to reduce herbicideresistance risk.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThese guidelines were compiled by the WRAG steering committee and editedby Stephen Moss in 2000, and updated by I. Ford in 2010.

WRAG was formed in 1989 as an informal group of representatives of the BritishAgrochemicals Association's (BAA) (now the Crop Protection Association (CPA))member companies and other organisations involved in herbicide resistanceresearch. These other organisations include Rothamsted Research, ADASLimited (ADAS), The Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD), Universities,Colleges, and the Home-Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA).

These guidelines are based on research mainly funded by the Department forEnvironment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), the Home-Grown CerealsAuthority (HGCA) and the agrochemical industry. Their financial support isgratefully acknowledged. WRAG is grateful to HRAC (Herbicide ResistanceAction Committee), a specialist group of the Global Crop Protection Federation(formerly GIFAP) for permission to use extracts from their document on‘Classification of Herbicides according to Mode of Action’.

APPENDIX 3

BEST PRACTICE BEESAll pesticides are assessed for their potential risk to bees and other pollinatorsbefore they are approved for use. If measures are considered necessary tosafeguard non-target organisms, these are added to the product label. Hence,when applied according to label instructions, the pesticides in this manual poseno unacceptable risk. The following guidelines however are considered bestpractice for protecting bees:

1. Use pest action thresholds to cut unnecessary insecticide use; monitor pest levels throughout the season and only spray when economic thresholds are reached.

2. Treat crops as close to the optimum timing for pest or disease control, as possible. Insecticides in particular should not be applied after a crop has passed the stage at which it is susceptible to pest damage.

3. Read and adhere to the environmental protection instructions on the product label.

4. Obtain Environmental Information Sheets (produced by the Voluntary Initiative) for each pesticide before spraying and adhere to all risk management recommendations.

5. Check for bees visiting plants. Remember the honeydew produced by aphids is attractive to bees.

6. Spray in the evening when bees have stopped flying, to allow pesticides to dry on the crop before bees become active again.

7. If necessary to spray during the day, spray early in the morning, or choose a cool, cloudy day.

8. DO NOT use pesticides labelled as ‘harmful’, ‘dangerous’, ‘extremely dangerous’ or ‘high risk’ to bees if crops or weeds are in flower or when bees are actively foraging (unless there is a specific statement on the label which allows this).

9. Inform your local beekeepers’ spray liaison officer before spraying during those times of the year when bees are at risk, or whenever using a pesticide labelled as ‘harmful’, ‘dangerous’, ‘extremely dangerous’ or ‘high risk’ to bees. Give at least 48 hours notice of spraying. Contact details are listed below.

10. Use appropriate and well-maintained spray equipment and DO NOT let pesticides drift into hedgerows or conservation headlands.
