MCPA 570 LVE is a selective herbicide that can be used to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley, oats, triticale, cereal rye, grass pastures, and grass seed crops in Australia. It is a low-volatile ester formulation that helps to minimize the risk of spray drift. MCPA 570 LVE can be used as a stand-alone herbicide or in tank mixes with other herbicides.

Mode of Action

MCPA 570 LVE is a Group I herbicide that works by disrupting plant cell growth. It is absorbed by the leaves and stems of weeds and translocates to the growing points, where it inhibits cell division and protein synthesis. This eventually leads to the death of the weeds.

Weed Control

MCPA 570 LVE can be used to control a wide range of broadleaf weeds, including:

• Annual broadleaf weeds: Chickweed, clover, dandelion, forget-me-not, shepherd's purse, sowthistle
• Perennial broadleaf weeds: Common groundsel, dock, fleabane, nightshade, plantain

Application Rates

The application rate of MCPA 570 LVE will vary depending on the weed species, the crop stage, and the environmental conditions. However, the general application rates are as follows:

• Wheat, barley, oats, triticale, cereal rye: 440 mL-1.84 L/ha
• Grass pastures and grass seed crops: 440 mL/ha

Tank Mixes

MCPA 570 LVE can be tank-mixed with a number of other herbicides, including:

• Diflufenican + MCPA Selective Herbicide: This tank mix provides control of wild radish and other broadleaf weeds.
• Clethodim: This tank mix provides control of annual ryegrass.
