FOR SALE FOR USE IN SPRING WHEAT, DURUM WHEAT, AND SPRING BARLEY AND CERTAIN MINOR USE CROPS IN THE PRAIRIE PROVINCES AND PEACE RIVER REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ONLY AND IN SPRING WHEAT IN EASTERN CANADA
GENERAL INFORMATION
FOR SALE FOR USE IN EASTERN CANADA AND IN THE PRAIRIE PROVINCES AND PEACE RIVER REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ONLY.
COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide is a post-emergent herbicide that provides control of annual grassy weeds such as Wild Oats, Green Foxtail, Yellow Foxtail and Barnyard Grass in Spring Wheat, Durum Wheat and Spring Barley and certain minor use crops.
COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide must be applied according to label recommendations or crop injury and a reduction in weed control will occur.
The 6.2 litre container contains enough COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide to treat 8.1-16.2 hectares depending on the target grassy weed to be controlled.
The 99.3 litre pod container contains enough COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide to treat 129-258 hectares depending on the target grassy weed to be controlled.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Cautions:
- Do not apply to Tame Oats as crop damage will occur.
- Durum Wheat: Initial crop injury in the form of shortening or discoloration may be observed after application. This condition is temporary and should not affect yield. This injury is more likely to occur when COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide is not tank mixed or when applied past the recommended leaf stage. Early application is important to maintain crop safety.
- Spring Barley: Initial crop injury in the form of shortening or discoloration may be observed after application. Such injury symptoms are more frequent and often more pronounced in Spring Barley than in Durum Wheat. This injury is most likely to occur when applications are made under certain stress conditions, such as cold and moist conditions or when applications are made past the 5 leaf, 2 tiller stages. Applications of COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide on Spring Barley should be avoided 2-3 days prior to or following cold temperatures (3 C or lower)
- Do not apply COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide to any field more often than once per year.
Rates:
1. For control of Wild Oats, Green Foxtail, Yellow Foxtail and Barnyard Grass, apply COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide at 770 mL/ha. At this rate, the contents of one 6.2 litre container of COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide treats 8.1 hectares. The 99.3 litre pod container has enough COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide to treat 129 hectares.
2. Under low Wild Oat infestations, and when applying COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide alone in Spring Wheat and Durum Wheat, apply COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide at 670 mL/ha. At this rate, the contents of one 6.2 litre container of COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide treats 9.3 hectares, or the 99.3 litre pod container has enough COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide to treat 148 hectares.
3. For Green Foxtail control only, apply COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide at 385 mL/ha. At this rate, the contents of one 6.2 litre container of COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide treats 16.2 hectares, or the 99.3 litre pod container has enough COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide to treat 258 hectares.
Timing:
- Apply to emerged, actively growing weeds, according to the weed stages listed.
- Under stressed conditions and/or heavy crop canopy, early application will result in improved grassy weed control.
- If application of COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide is not possible due to uneven weed germination, or differential germination of weeds and crops, consult your local weed specialist or the provincial weed control recommendations for the best alternate method of weed control.
- If another pesticide has already been applied, wait 7 days before applying COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide, or following application of COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide, a 4 day interval is required before applying another pesticide, except for those recommended on this label.
- Weeds that emerge after application will not be controlled.
- Note: Treatment at the 3-4 leaf stage of crops and weeds usually combines maximum crop tolerance and weed susceptibility. Under stressed conditions and/or heavy crop canopy, earlier application will result in improved grassy weed control.
Cautions:
- Application beyond the 6 leaf stage in Spring and Durum Wheats, or the 5 leaf stage in Spring Barley, may result in injury.
- Application of COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide must take place within the leaf stages outlined for all weeds on this label. Late application will result in reduced weed control.
- During periods of stress, plants are not actively growing. When daytime temperatures before or after application are very hot, combined with very dry conditions and low humidity, plants are under stress. Application of COUGAR 120 EC Herbicide during these periods may result in reduced weed control (and/or crop injury).
- Do not apply to a crop that is stressed by severe weather conditions, frost, low fertility, drought, watersaturated soil, disease or insect damage, as crop injury may result.
- To reduce runoff from treated areas into aquatic habitats, consider the characteristics and conditions of the site before treatment. Site characteristics and conditions that may lead to runoff include, but are not limited to: heavy rainfall, moderate to steep slope, bare soil, poorly draining soil (e.g., soils that are compacted, fine textured, or low in organic matter such as clay).
- Avoid application of this product when heavy rain is forecast.
- Contamination of aquatic areas as a result of runoff may be reduced by including a vegetative strip (buffer zone) between the treated area and the edge of the water body.
