Tiller 242 is a selective herbicide that is used to control a range of annual grass weeds in a variety of crops, including wheat, canola, barley, oats, chickpeas, lupins, and faba beans. It is a Group I herbicide that works by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase (ALS) in plants. This enzyme is responsible for the production of essential amino acids, and without it, the weed cannot grow or reproduce.

Benefits of Tiller 242:

  • Selective control of a range of grass weeds. Tiller 242 is selective for crops in the Brassicaceae family, which includes wheat, canola, barley, oats, chickpeas, lupins, and faba beans. It is not selective for grass weeds, so it can be used to control a wide range of weeds in these crops.
  • Potent activity against a wide array of weeds. Tiller 242 has potent activity against a wide range of annual grass weeds, including many of the most common weeds in Australian agriculture. It is effective on both emerged and seedling weeds.
  • Quick knockdown. Tiller 242 provides quick knockdown of weeds, meaning that it can start to kill weeds within 24 hours of application.
  • Long-lasting activity. Tiller 242 has long-lasting activity, providing control of weeds for up to 8 weeks.
  • Compatible with a range of adjuvants. Tiller 242 is compatible with a range of adjuvants, which can be used to improve its performance. For example, Sticka Spray Oil can be used to improve the spreading and penetration of Tiller 242.
  • Safe for use around people and animals when used as directed. Tiller 242 is safe for use around people and animals when used as directed according to the label. It is important to read the label carefully before use and follow all instructions.

How to Use Tiller 242:

  1. Read the label carefully before using Tiller 242. The label contains important safety information and instructions for use.

  2. Mix Tiller 242 with water according to the label instructions. The amount of Tiller 242 that you need to add will vary depending on the crop and the weed pressure.

  3. Apply the herbicide solution to the weeds. This can be done using a sprayer, a boom sprayer, or a roller.

  4. Reapply as needed. The frequency of reapplication will vary depending on the crop, the weed pressure, and the weather conditions.
