An emulsifiable concentrate containing 100 g/l (9.7% w/w) propaquizafop.
 
Also contains poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-isotridecyl-omega-hydroxy- and solvent naphtha, heavy aromatic.

Restrictions or warnings
Avoid spraying within six metres of the field boundary to reduce effects on non-target insects or other arthropods.
If FALCON is applied during periods of high temperatures and/or low soil moisture content chlorotic spotting of the crop may result, but there is no adverse effect on subsequent growth or yield.
Weeds controlled
FALCON is a systemic foliar applied herbicide for post-emergence control of annual and perennial grass weeds in oilseed rape, linseed, field beans, potatoes, sugar beet, fodder beet, carrots, parsnips, onions, swede, turnip, combining pea, forest, farm forestry, forest nursery and cut log.
Weeds must be emerged at the time of application.

Crop notes
Avoid overlaps.
Succeeding Crops
If a crop treated with FALCON should fail for any reason, or after normal harvest, the minimum intervals listed must be
observed before replanting any of the following crops:
Winter wheat, winter barley: 2 weeks
Peas and field beans and Winter oilseed rape: 4 weeks
Winter oats: 16 weeks
Ryegrass: 8 weeks
Carrots, Parsnips and Onions
Crop effects can occur when the couch dose is applied at early growth stages in carrots, parsnips and onions.
Potatoes
Crops suffering from frost damage should not be treated.

Rate of application - all crops
Speed of kill will be more rapid when weeds are growing actively under warm conditions with adequate moisture.
Treatment under cool conditions will give slower activity. In poor conditions use the higher dose.
Weeds germinating after application will NOT be controlled.
Broad-leaved weeds will NOT be controlled.

Annual Meadow Grass
Growth will be checked at doses of 0.7 - 1 l/ha and severely checked at 1.5 l/ha. These effects will be reduced if annual meadow-grass is beyond 3 leaves unfolded stage at spraying.
Mixing and spraying
FALCON should be applied as a FINE or MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC) in 100-250 litres water per hectare. Tank mixing with adjuvants is not required or recommended.
Good spray cover is essential for good results.
Use the higher spray volume in dense crop or weed situations.
Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of FALCON and fully disperse. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. Spray immediately after mixing.
Sprayers should be thoroughly cleaned before use and filters and nozzles checked for damage and blockage.
Compatibility
For information on additional tank mixes, consult your supplier.
Always read the label of the partner product carefully before use.
