Application of Diuron/Hexazinone WG:

Diuron/Hexazinone WG can be applied to crops and non-crop areas in a variety of ways, including:

  • Boom spraying: This is the most common method of application. Diuron/Hexazinone WG should be applied using a sprayer that has a boom of at least 12-15 meters. The sprayer should be calibrated to deliver a spray volume of 50-200 liters per hectare.

  • Aerial spraying: This method is most commonly used for large areas. Diuron/Hexazinone WG should be applied using a certified aerial applicator. The sprayer should be calibrated to deliver a spray volume of 20-50 liters per hectare.

  • Hand spraying: This method is most commonly used for spot treatments of small areas. Diuron/Hexazinone WG can be applied using a hand-held sprayer or a backpack sprayer. The sprayer should be calibrated to deliver a spray volume of 1-5 liters per square meter.

Rates of application:

The rate of application of Diuron/Hexazinone WG will vary depending on the crop, weed species, and growth stage of the weeds. The recommended rates of application are as follows:

  • Winter cereals: 200-400 ml/ha
  • Grains: 200-400 ml/ha
  • Pastures: 200-400 ml/ha
  • Non-crop areas: 200-400 ml/ha

Safety:

Diuron/Hexazinone WG is a relatively safe herbicide when used according to the label instructions. However, it is important to wear protective clothing, including gloves, a long-sleeved shirt, and long pants, when handling and applying the product.

Overall, Diuron/Hexazinone WG is a valuable tool for weed control in cereal crops, pastures, and other non-crop areas. It is a safe and effective herbicide that has a wide range of uses. However, it is important to follow the label instructions carefully to avoid any potential problems.
