For use only as an agricultural herbicide.

A contact and residual herbicide (containing two sulfonylurea herbicides) for use as a post crop emergence treatment for the control of a range of annual grass and broad-leaved weeds in winter wheat.
An oily dispersion formulation containing 150 g/L diflufenican, 9 g/L mesosulfuron-methyl and 3 g/L iodosulfuron-methyl-sodium.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RESTRICTIONS
DO NOT use ALISTER on crops undersown with grasses, clover or other legumes or any other broad-leaved crop.
ALISTER must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, pest or disease attack, nutrient deficiency, soil compaction or other factors reducing crop growth.
DO NOT roll or harrow in the days preceding or following application of ALISTER.
Because some non-target crops are sensitive to ALISTER, extreme care is required to avoid drift onto plants outside the target area, or onto ponds, waterways or ditches.
DO NOT apply ALISTER when rain is imminent.
AVOID application during periods of frosty weather. Sharp or severe frosts before or following application may cause crop yellowing or stunting from which the crop will normally recover.
Store in a safe dry place designated as an agrochemical store.

ALISTER is readily translocated within the target weed, inhibiting growth within hours of application. The actual time taken for herbicidal symptoms to appear and death varies between weed species, timing of application and weather conditions. In some cases symptoms may not be apparent for up to 4 weeks. Efficacy and speed of action of ALISTER are favoured by application when weeds are small and in active growth. As ALISTER is active primarily via foliar uptake good spray coverage of the target weed is essential for optimal efficacy.
The presence of herbicide resistant populations (e.g. enhanced metabolism populations of Italian rye-grass or wild-oats) may lead to unacceptable levels of control.
Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. black-grass, wild-oats and Italian rye-grass) have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing resistance should be adopted. The presence of enhanced metabolism herbicide resistant populations of Italian rye-grass may lead to unacceptable levels of control. To reduce the risk of developing resistance or where resistance to sulfonylurea herbicides is suspected, applications should be made to young, actively growing weeds.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
WINTER WHEAT
Apply via a tractor mounted horizontal boom sprayer at a rate of 1.0 L/ha. Apply in 100-300 L/ha as a FINE to MEDIUM spray (BCPC category). Use application techniques which ensure good weed coverage and crop penetration. Ensure that spray swaths do not overlap.
Only one application of ALISTER should be made to the crop.
For use on all varieties of winter wheat. Apply post-emergence of the crop from GS13 (three leaves unfolded) up to before GS30 (before start of stem extension).
In some situations (i.e. heavy rainfall prior to treatment, wide temperature fluctuations or severe frost before or after application) crop yellowing and/or stunting can occur. These effects will not affect yield

FOLLOWING CROPS and CROP FAILURE
Succeeding crops in the normal rotation:
Winter wheat, winter durum wheat, winter barley, winter oilseed rape may be sown in the year of harvest to succeed a winter wheat crop treated with ALISTER. Plough or cultivate to 15 cm prior to planting crops of winter oilseed rape, otherwise crop damage may occur.
In the spring following harvest of the ALISTER treated crop spring wheat, spring durum wheat, spring barley, spring oats, sugar beet, spring oilseed rape, spring protein peas, maize, sunflowers, potatoes, spring linseed and ryegrass (Italian and perennial) may be drilled / planted.

MIXING
Shake well before use. Add the recommended quantity of ALISTER to the spray tank half-filled with the required quantity of clean water. Add the remainder of the water with the sprayer agitation system in operation. Maintain agitation during mixing and loading and until spraying is complete. Do not leave the sprayer standing with chemical in it.
To avoid subsequent damage to crops other than winter wheat it is important that the spray tank, boom, hoses, filters and nozzles are thoroughly washed out to remove all traces of ALISTER immediately after spraying using a proprietary sprayer cleaner (e.g. All Clear Extra®) according to the label instructions for that product. Do not mix any bleach or chlorinating agent with any ammonia-based cleaning agent as toxic gases may be liberated.

COMPATIBILITY
ALISTER may be applied as a tank-mix with a range of products. Contact Bayer CropScience for compatibility information on specific tank-mixes. Full manufacturer’s instructions must be followed for each tank-mix component.
