GROUP C HERBICIDE

A contact selective post-emergence herbicide for control of weeds in young beetroot and silverbeet crops.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
This product acts via the foliage and is to be applied after emergence of the weeds. The effect of spraying can be seen within 2 to 3 days of application. Susceptible weeds are completely killed in 7 to 10 days.
For best results the interval between treatment and rainfall or irrigation should not be less than 6 hours.

Resistant Weeds Warning
Betanal Flow Herbicide is a member of the phenylcarbamate group of herbicides. Betanal Flow is an inhibitor of photosynthesis at photosystem II. For weed resistance management Betanal Flow is a Group C herbicide. Some naturally-occurring weed biotypes resistant to Betanal Flow, and other Group C herbicides, may exist through normal genetic variability in any weed population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly. These resistant weeds will not be controlled by Betanal Flow or other Group C herbicides. Since occurrence of resistant weeds is difficult to detect prior to use, Bayer CropScience Pty Ltd accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of Betanal Flow to control resistant weeds.

Export of Treated Produce
Growers should note that suitable MRLs or import tolerances may not be established in all markets for produce treated with Betanal Flow Herbicide. If you are growing produce for export, please check with Bayer CropScience Pty. Ltd. for the latest information on MRLs and import tolerances BEFORE using Betanal Flow.

Mixing
Half fill the spray tank with water and agitate or stir while adding the required quantity of this product. Tramat 500 SC (if used)
should be added at the same time. Top up with water and stir again. Use as soon as possible after mixing.

Spray Equipment
Ensure that the sprayers used to apply this product do not contain residues of other chemicals, since even traces of hormone weedkillers may lead to severe damage of beet.
This product can be applied through any conventional ground spraying boom equipment fitted with fan type nozzles. Do NOT use high spray pressures.
After use, drain the spray system immediately and flush thoroughly with clean water to prevent later blockages.

Compatibility
Do not add herbicides other than Tramat 500 SC to this product. Slight foliage distortion on the crop may occur following treatment with this product plus Tramat 500 SC. These effects are short-lived and do not affect crop yield.
