CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
CEREALS
May be used on all commercial varieties of Winter and Spring sown Wheat, Barley and Oats.
Not recommended for use on Rye.
Application rate: 7.0 L product/ha
Water volume: 100 - 400 L water/ha. Use a minimum of 225 litres water in dense stands of cereals or if weed growth is dense.
Weed control in cereals: CLOVERMAX applied at 7.0 L/ha will control those annual weeds as indicated in the weed control table

Winter Wheat, Barley and Oats (including undersown with red or white clover)
Latest time of application: Apply in the spring from the leaf sheath erect stage to before 1 st node detectable (BBCH31). Do not apply in autumn, winter, during frosty weather or if frosts are expected following application.
Spring Wheat (including undersown with red or white clover)
DO NOT use CLOVERMAX on established clovers or on lucerne
Latest time of application: Apply from the 5 leaf stage until before 1 st node detectable (BBCH31).

Spring Barley and Oats (including undersown with red or white clover)
Latest time of application: Apply from 1 leaf fully expanded stage until before 1st node detectable (BBCH31).

Undersown cereals
Application should be made when the cereal crop is at the correct growth stage (winter wheat from leaf sheath erect stage to before 1 st node detectable stage, spring wheat from the 5 leaf stage to before 1 st node detectable stage, spring barley
and oats from 1 leaf fully expanded stage to before 1 st node detectable stage) AND when the undersown crop of clover is at the correct growth stage (before 4 th trifoliate leaf stage).

SUCCEEDING CROPS
DO NOT sow any crop into soil treated with CLOVERMAX for at least 3 months after application

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in the required amount of CLOVERMAX. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. USE IMMEDIATELY following dilution. DO NOT allow diluted product to stand before use. Apply as a medium quality spray (as defined by BCPC). A spray pressure of 2-3 bar is recommended.

TANK CLEANING
WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly with water and wetting agent or liquid detergent immediately after use.
Spray out, fill with clean water and leave over night. Spray out again before storing or using for another product. Traces of product can cause harm to susceptible crops sprayed later.

COMPATIBILITY
CLOVERMAX can be tank-mixed with other pesticides, please consult your Nufarm distributor or Nufarm UK Limited.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
When herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, selection of resistant biotypes can take place. These can propagate and may become dominating. A weed species is considered to be resistant to an herbicide if it survives a correctly applied treatment at the recommended dose. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. This should include integrating herbicides with a programme of cultural control measures. 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.
