WEEDS CONTROLLED
Apply when the majority of annual weeds are at the seeding*stage. For the control of perennial weeds in established grassland, the best results are obtained if spraying is carried out shortly before flowering. Whilst spraying at this late stage will not give complete control of annual weeds. It may effectively check most of the species mentioned. A second application may be necessary to provide an adequate level of weed control on amenity grassland and managed amenity turf.

Seeding =Fully expanded cotyledons to 2 expanded true leaves.
Weeds controlled - Cereals Hoary Cress- Good control of this perennial weed can be achieved by treatment in winter cereal crops over two successive seasons using 1.6-1.8l/ha dose of DYWEED 50. Apply after the shots are 25-150mm high up to but before flowering.

1treatment will normally kill plants at all stages of growth up to the early bud stage. For best levels of control, treat in April – June when rosettes are growing strongly but before flower buds are well formed.
2treat when growing well in May or early June. Top growth is removed or considerably reduced for the season of treatment. In grassland for hay or silage, shoot kill may be obtained by using 2.0 l/ha two weeks before cutting.

Dyweed 50 may be used on all varities of the listed crops within the recommended growth stages. DO NOT treat barley intended for malting, spring oats or any cereal mixture with peas or beans or other legumes. Apply in at least 110 L/ha water. In grassland and turf, where weeds might be shielded by grasses, use 400 l/ha water. Refer to the table for special situation pertaining to grass floors under apples and pears.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Before use ensure that the spraying equipment has been thoroughly cleaned. Half-fill the spray tank with the clean water. With the contents of spray tank under re-circulation, and the measured quantities of Dyweed 50 through the filter. Top up the tank with water to the required level and maintain re-circulation until the tank is sprayed out. Apply the recommended quantity of Dyweed 50 through a conventional hydraulic sprayer using a MEDIUM spray to cover the weed leaves evenly and thoroughly. Avoid spray drift onto neighbouring crops and all broad-leaved plants outside the target area. Do not spray in windy weather. Beets, all brassicas (including oilseed rape, Sweedes and turnip) lettuce, sunflowers, onions, peas, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, all fruit crops (including vines) and ornamentals are particularly susceptible to 2, 4-D and may be damaged by spray drift. After each days use, wash out with water and wetting agent. Wash out again with water, drain and allow to dry. Traces of herbicide left in the sprayer may damage susceptible crops if these are subsequently sprayed using the same equipment.

WEATHER AND GROWING CONDITIONS
Apply to a dry crop when rain is not forecast for at least 12 hours. Optimum results are obtained when the weeds are actively growing under good soil and weather conditions. Reduced weed control may be obtained during drought or cold weather. If rain falls shortly after application, the effect of Dyweed 50 may be reduced.

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 a 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.
