GENERAL INFORMATION


FOR SALE FOR USE IN EASTERN CANADA AND IN THE PRAIRIE PROVINCES AND PEACE RIVER REGION OF BRITISH COLUMBIA ONLY.
Vigil WB 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.
Vigil WB 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 Vigil WB to treat 8.1-16.2 hectares depending on the arget grassy weed to be controlled.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE


CROPS, WEEDS, RATES, TIMING AND CAUTIONS
CROP RECOMMENDED STAGE
Spring and Durum Wheat 1-6 leaves on main stem plus 3 tillers (Zadoks 11-16,23)
Spring Barley 1-5 leaves on main stem plus 2 tillers(Zadoks 11-15,22)

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 Vigil WB 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 stage. Applications of Vigil WB on Spring Barley should be avoided 2-3 days prior to or following cold temperatures (3°C or lower)
Do not apply Vigil WB to any field more often than once per year.

Annual Grassy Weeds Recommended Stage
Wild Oats 1-6 leaf (up to emergence of 3rd tiller)
Green Foxtail (Wild Millet) 1-6 leaf (up to emergence of 3rd tiller)
Yellow Foxtail 1-6 leaf (up to emergence of 3rd tiller)
Barnyard Grass 1-6 leaf (up to emergence of 3rd tiller)

Rates
1. For control of Wild Oats, Green Foxtail, Yellow Foxtail and Barnyard Grass, apply Vigil WB at 770 mL/ha. At this rate, the contents of one 6.2 litre container of Vigil WB treats 8.1 hectares. The 99.3 litre pod container has enough Vigil WB to treat 129 hectares.
2. Under low Wild Oat infestations, and when applying Vigil WB alone in Spring Wheat and Durum Wheat, apply Vigil WB at 670 mL/ha. At this rate, the contents of one 6.2 litre container of Vigil WB treats 9.3 hectares, or the 99.3 litre pod container has enough Vigil WB to treat 148 hectares.
3. For Green Foxtail control only, apply Vigil WB at 385 mL/ha. At this rate, the contents of one 6.2 litre container of Vigil WB treats 16.2 hectares, or the 99.3 litre pod container has enough Vigil WB 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 Vigil WB 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 Vigil WB, or following application of Vigil WB, 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.
