CLERANDA MUST ONLY BE USED ON CLEARFIELD ® OILSEED RAPE HYBRIDS.

COMPLETE CROP LOSS WILL OCCUR IF CLERANDA IS APPLIED TO OILSEED RAPE THAT DOES NOT CARRY THE CLEARFIELD®BRAND.

Cleranda is suitable for use on all soil types as defined by Soil Texture (85) System, except sands and very light soils and soils containing more than 10% organic mater.

Do not apply to stony soils; i.e. stones, flints or chalk readily visible on surface. On brashy and stony soils, Cleranda may cause some reduction in crop vigour and/or plant stand.

Do not apply to cloddy seedbeds. Seedbeds must have a fine, firm tilth for optimum weed control. Loose or cloddy seedbeds must be consolidated prior to application.

Do not apply when heavy rain is forecast and do not use on waterlogged soil or soils prone to waterlogging. Crop thinning or reductions in crop vigour can occur if there is very wet weather after application. Where a crop check has occurred, this normally grows out after a few weeks and yields are normally unaffected.

Weeds germinating from depth may not be controlled.

Soil moisture is required for effective weed control via root uptake. Residual control may be reduced under prolonged dry conditions.

Care should be taken to avoid overlap of spray swaths Do not apply Cleranda to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused, for example, by pests, disease, waterlogging, poor seedbed conditions or previous chemical treatment.

Under frosty conditions a transient scorch may occur.

Cleranda is taken up via cotyledons, roots and shoots and takes maximum effect before, or shortly after, weed emergence. Optimum results are obtained from applications made to fine, firm and moist seedbeds.

Weeds germinating from depth may not be controlled. Soil moisture is required for effective weed control via root uptake. Residual control may be reduced under prolonged dry condition.

This product contains imazamox which is an ALS inhibitor, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee as ‘Group B’. Only use as part of a weed resistance management strategy that includes cultural methods of control and does not use ALS inhibitors as the sole chemical method of grass-weed control.

Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. Black-grass, Wild-Oats, and Italian Ryegrass) have developed resistance to herbicides, which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.

Cleranda can be used on any winter Clearfield® oilseed rape hybrid carrying the Clearfield® brand.

COMPLETE CROP LOSS WILL OCCUR IF CLERANDA IS APPLIED TO OILSEED RAPE THAT DOES NOT CARRY THE CLEARFIELD® BRAND.

To ensure that Cleranda, is only applied to Clearfield® oilseed rape hybrids, it is important to clearly and accurately record the location of Clearfield® oilseed crops on the farm and provide relevant information to those staff and contractors applying Cleranda.

 

Cleranda may be applied post-emergence of the crop from two fully expanded cotyledons (GS 10) and up to the eight true leaf growth stage (GS 18).

 

Apply Cleranda at 2.0 litres per hectare.

Improved control of certain weed species (see Section 2.2) can be achieved by applying 2.0 l/ha Cleranda plus 1.0 l/ha of the adjuvant Dash HC.

 

Following crops after normally harvested Clearfield ® oilseed rape.

Wheat, barley, oats, oilseed rape, field beans, combining peas and sugar beet can follow normally harvested Clearfield® oilseed rape treated with Cleranda.

Re-drilling in the same autumn due to crop failure.

In the event of crop failure, the following crops may be re-drilled in the same autumn following the guidance given on minimum interval and cultivation for each crop.

Apply Cleranda in 190–300 l/ha water volume as a MEDIUM spray as defined by BCPC. In more dense crops where weed shading is more likely use the higher water volume.

To ensure optimum spray coverage and minimize spray drift, adjust the spray boom to the appropriate height above the crop, according to guidance provided by the sprayer and/or nozzle manufacture.

Cleranda may be applied at up 2.0 l/ha in 100 litres of water per hectare although efficacy and crop safety at this reduced volume has not been evaluated.
