INTRODUCTIONSuccessful and profitable winter cerealproduction is reliant on economical and effective weed management.

The yield losses attributed to weeds in crops aresignificant. Left uncontrolled, weeds can also contribute to ongoing problems with subsequent cropping programs.Growers need to be diligent in their efforts to reduceweed infestations.

Bayer Cropscience is making every effort to reduce weed burdens and increase crop yields by recommendinga combination of crop rotation, soil management andweed control.

Whilst good planning is essential and the use of pre-emergent herbicides is common practice in manymanagement programs, the likelihood of weeds emergingin a crop is still very high.

This guide outlines the Bayer CropScience range of post-emergent herbicides for use in cereals.

Designed to simplify the product label, it aims to help with product recommendations. Whilst it does not replace the product label information, it does provide a detailed summary of the key issues which areimportant when choosing products and deciding how they should be used.

Please consult the product information pages for morespecific information, and always refer to the product label for complete 'Directions for Use' information beforeapplication.

POST-EMERGENT GRASS HERBICIDE SELECTION

MARKETPOSITIONINGPlease consult the table below to determine the preferred herbicide for the various scenarios, which canoccur when wild oats emerge in wheat.

To assist with herbicide resistance management, an integrated weed management strategy suggests rotatingherbicides from the different chemical groups available.

As part of this strategy, growers should also considerAvadex®BW as a pre-emergent herbicide alternative andMataven®as a late post-emergent herbicide alternative.

GRASSWEED HERBICIDE

PRODUCT DETAILSActive constituent: 30 g/L mesosulfuron-methylCrop safener: 90 g/L mefenpyr-diethylHerbicide group: Group BFormulation: Non-aqueous suspension concentratePack size: 5 LColour: Brown liquid

TECHNICAL SUMMARYMode of action: A post-emergent herbicide,

absorbed by the foliage and partlytranslocated to other parts of theplant. A limited amount of activeingredient is translocated to theroot system. Foliar uptake isgreater for broadleaf weeds thangrassweeds.

Weed control symptoms:Susceptible weeds stop growingfollowing application. Plant death,or severe stunting with limiteddevelopment, occurs after 4–6 weeks.

Crop effects: Well metabolised by the crop, buttransient chlorosis or crop stunting(particularly in cooler climates)may be seen. There is no impacton yield with these crop effects.Not suitable where undersownclover and/or lucerne have beenplanted. Any crop effects will beexaggerated when tank-mixing withcertain broadleaf herbicides, orapplying in stressed conditions.

EXTERNAL FACTORSINFLUENCING HERBICIDESoil texture: Application to sandy soils followed

by soaking rains can significantlyincrease the levels of crop effects.

Soil pH: Crop damage can be increased inhigh pH soils (>pH 8.5).

Organic matter: Good to high levels of organicmatter will lead to a fasterbreakdown of the product in the soil.Very low levels of organic mattermay extend the re-cropping periodslisted on the label.

Rainfall: Rainfall of less than 250 mm followingthe use of Atlantis will result inextended re-cropping intervals.

Water quality: Product should be used in clean water.Frosts: Application during periods of heavy

frosts should be avoided if possible.Prior herbicide: Do not use Atlantis if a Group B

herbicide has already been used inthe crop.

APPLICATIONGround application:Water rates: 50–100 L/haNozzle type: 110º nozzles T11002–T11003 or

similar, 280–300 kPa up to 16 kphDroplet range: 200–300 micronsSurfactant: Atlantis must always be applied

with the addition of a surfactantsuch as a non-ionic wetting agent(e.g. BS1000®at 0.25% v/v) even when tank-mixing with other products.

Rainfast: 8 hours

Aerial application:Not registered for use by air.

RE-CROPPING

COMPATIBILITYThe compatibility of Atlantis with crop protectionproducts other than a wetting agent as recommended,is being further evaluated. Contact your local BayerCropScience representative for further information oncompatible products.

Wheat Brome grass All 1 to 3-leaf 330 mL Suppression of brome grass.(great brome) states (Z11 to Z13,21) Will substantially reduce the growth of brome(Bromus diandrus) grass and its ability to compete with the crop

and will reduce seed-set but may not give asignificant reduction in plant numbers.Apply generally within 4 to 7 weeks after sowing.Apply when the majority of brome grass is at the 1to 3-leaf stage (Z11 to Z13,21). Efficacy on largerplants that may have emerged before the crop maybe poor.Do not use for suppression of dense brome grasspopulations (>150 plants/m2).

DIRECTIONS FOR USERestraints:DO NOT apply to any crop other than wheat.DO NOT apply to wheat that is physically damaged (e.g. by hail, wind, insect attack).DO NOT allow spray overlap or double spraying of corners.DO NOT apply to weeds or crops under stress due to for example, very dry, very wet, nutrient-deficient, frosty ordiseased conditions, or as the result of a previous herbicide treatment.DO NOT apply if rainfall is expected within 2 hours.

COMPATIBILITYMixtures of Decision with broadleaf herbicides may lead to a reduction in ryegrass control and/or varying degrees ofcrop discolouration/damage. Decision may be mixed with Tigrex Selective Herbicide applied at up to 0.5 L/ha withoutadverse crop effects and with less than 10% loss in efficacy when applied as directed. Use a wetting agent, e.g.BS1000 at 0.25% v/v, instead of Hasten when tank-mixing with Tigrex. Reduction in ryegrass control can be minimisedby using a minimum of 80 L water per hectare, and closely following all use recommendations and restrictions. This mixture should only be applied to crops which have reached the 3-leaf stage.

Allow at least 10 days between any application of Decision and herbicides containing 2,4-D, 2,4-DB, MCPA or dicamba,except Tigrex.

INTRODUCTION

For fast and effective wild oatcontrol, Wildcat 110ECselective herbicide is theproduct of choice. Trialsindicate that Wildcat 110EC iseffective at controlling wildoats alone or mixtures of wildoats and phalaris. With mixedinfestations of grass andbroadleaf weeds on the rise,choosing economical herbicidecombinations for one-passweed control has never beeneasier. When considering a wholefarm plan and the followingyear’s rotations, Wildcat 110ECoffers the greatest flexibility.

PRODUCT DETAILSActive constituents: 250 g/L bromoxynil present as the

octanoate 25 g/L diflufenican

Herbicide groups: C & FFormulation: Emulsifiable concentratePack size: 5 L & 20 L Colour: Golden-coloured liquidShelf-life: 2 yearsPoison schedule: 6

TECHNICAL SUMMARYModes of action: Inhibitor of carotenoid biosynthesis

(diflufenican) and photosynthesisat photosystem II (bromoxynil).Post-emergent contact herbicide,which provides up to 4 weeks'residual control of wild radish.

Weed control symptoms:Fast brown-out of older leaves andchlorosis of younger leaves andmeristematic regions followed byplant death. Plants larger thanlabel recommendations maysurvive, but often at a suppressedlevel of growth.

Crop effects: Some transient crop yellowing mayoccur. Provided the crop is notunder stress, subsequent growthwill not be affected. (Please seeproduct label for more information).The tolerance of legumes, e.g.lucerne & clover, can differ withvariety and a number of otherfactors. Please see product label.

EXTERNAL FACTORS INFLUENCING HERBICIDEWater quality: Although Jaguar's efficacy is

relatively unaffected by waterquality, always use the best qualitywater available and avoid lettingthe mix stand overnight.

Temperature: Avoid application after frostbecause this stresses both cropand target weeds, leading togreater crop effect and reducedweed control. Wait a few days tillfrost stress has declined beforespray application.

Do not apply when the maximumdaily temperature is above 20°C,or is likely to be in the first fewdays after application, asincreased crop damage may result.

Moisture: Dry or waterlogged conditions canlead to crop and/or target weedstress, which may result in reducedweed control or increased crop effect.

APPLICATIONWater rate: Minimum of 50 L/ha. More reliable

results can be expected at higherwater volumes/ha.

Nozzle type: 110o flat-fan T11002–T11003 or similar at 280–300 kPa up to 16 kph.

Droplet range: 200–300 micronsCompatibility: Mixing Jaguar with grass herbicides

can reduce the effectiveness of thegrass herbicide.

Surfactant: Do not mix Jaguar with crop oils ortank-mixtures containing crop oils,as decreased selectivity andincreased crop damage may result.

Critical comments: In most situations the rate specifiedfor each weed size will givesatisfactory control.However, under certain conditionssuch as:• high crop and weed density,• late-season germinations,• abnormal weed growth (including

early flowering),higher rates of product (up to themaximum rate of applicationspecified for that weed) may berequired. Jaguar will not effectively control:• regrowth of suppressed weeds,• transplanted weeds,• regrowth from rhizomes or roots,• weeds growing under stress from

previous herbicide applications.

EXTERNAL FACTORS INFLUENCING HERBICIDESoil texture: No effect unless plant growth is

affected (i.e. plants stressed).Soil pH: No effect unless plant growth is

affected (i.e. plants stressed).Organic matter: No effect unless plant growth is

affected (i.e. plants stressed).Effects of water quality:

Saline water – may reduce storagetime in spray tank to under 4 hours.Soil colloids – spray mixture mustbe used immediately after mixingin these conditions.

Frosts: Herbicide effect may be reduced in cold conditions. Crop effect maybe more severe and persistent.

Moisture: Dry – activity is reduced whentranslocation is limited.Moist – ideal.Waterlogged – activity is reducedwhen translocation is limited.Crop effect may persist longer.

APPLICATIONGeneral: Effective weed control requires

good coverage of leaf surface.Rainfast: 4 hours

Ground application:Water rates: A minimum of 50 L/ha. However,

for optimum results, water rates of70–100 L/ha are preferred.Increase water volume if weedinfestation is heavy or crop coverdense.

CRITICAL COMMENTSTigrex will not effectively control: regrowth of suppressed weeds; transplanted weeds; regrowth of rhizomes or roots;and/or weeds growing under stress from previous herbicide applications.

Crop stage:Up to 750 mL (3-leaf to late tillering stage – Z13 to 30)Over 750 mL (5-leaf to late tillering stage – Z15 to 30)Optimum results are achieved when sprayed at 3–5 leaf crop stage (generally 4–8 weeks post-sowing).Warning: Tigrex may cause transient crop yellowing of cereals. Some varieties of oats have not been tested.

Weed stage:Apply when weeds are actively growing. In most situations the rate specified for each weed size will give satisfactory control.Under certain conditions such as:• high crop and weed density,• late-season germinations,• abnormal weed growth (including early flowering),higher rates of product may be required.

Grazing: Efficacy on larger weeds will be improved by grazing with normal levels of stock after the 7-day withholding period.Refer to product label for grazing precautions.

Wild radish:Tigrex will provide residual control of wild radish for up to 4 weeks after application. Effective residual activity of this product may be reduced where: • rates lower than 1.0 L/ha are used,• dry conditions prevail,• coverage of the soil surface is poor,• the crop is planted in non-wetting sand,• soils contain a high content of organic matter. Optimum results will be obtained if good soil moisture exists at and after application.

TECHNICAL SUMMARYMode of action: Absorbed by roots and foliage of

plants and translocated to growingpoints, where it inhibits theenzyme acetolactate synthase(ALS) which is essential for thesynthesis of amino acids.

Weed control symptoms:Immediate cessation of plantgrowth and yellowing. Effects arenoticeable 1–2 weeks afterapplication.

Crop effects: Some transient crop effects mayoccur after application. If the cropis not stressed from pre-emergentherbicides, root disease, insectdamage, frost, dry or excessivelywet conditions, yield is generallynot affected. Effects may beexaggerated if tank-mixing withother herbicides.

EXTERNAL FACTORS INFLUENCING HERBICIDESoil texture: Generally more mobile on soils of

light texture, low organic matterand alkaline pH.

Soil pH: Eclipse is more soluble underalkaline conditions, however mostactivity is by foliar uptake.

Organic matter: Eclipse will dissipate more quicklyin soils with high organic matterwhere microbial activity will begreater.

Water quality: While the efficacy of Eclipse isgenerally not affected by waterquality, always use the best qualitywater available. Clean water ispreferable.

Frosts: Allow 2 days’ recovery after a frostbefore application. Ideally therewill also be 2 frost-free days afterapplication.

Moisture: Dry and waterlogged soil will reduce efficacy due to the stresson the weeds. Moist soil at thetime of application is ideal.

APPLICATIONSurfactant: Do not apply in cereals without a

crop oil or wetting agent, unlessspecified in Directions for Use table.

Rainfast: 2 hours

INTRODUCTION

The S.T.A.R. program is a simple set ofguidelines designed to optimiseherbicide results, and to minimisefailures. The basic principles apply toall herbicides. While it is impossible inany dynamic and changing biologicalsystem to guarantee anything, followingthe S.T.A.R. program can reduce the riskof herbicide failure. The program’s aimis to promote understanding andmanagement of the four major factorswhich influence herbicide effectiveness.

Before using chemicals, ask:• Is the soil waterlogged? • When did it last rain?

• Are there insect pests present? • Have there been frosts? • Are nutrients sufficient?

STRESS CAN LOWER A HERBICIDE’S EFFECTIVENESSSTRESS

Spraying at the optimum time:• Gives greater effectiveness • Minimises weed competition

• Maximises yield • Helps obtain better spray

penetration and coverage

EARLY SPRAYING RETURNS GREATER YIELDSTIMING

Aim for maximum coverage:• Check and clean equipment • Change nozzles regularly • Spray when weeds are young

• Follow directions on watervolume, and spraying speed

• Don’t mix products which are not recommended

CORRECT APPLICATION ENSURES OPTIMUM RESULTSAPPLICATION

Using recommended rates:• Gives maximum effectiveness

and consistency

• Increases the speed of weed control

• Helps overcome possible unknown stress, timing orapplication problems

• Maximises yield response
