GENERAL INFORMATION
FUSILADE MAX containing fluazifop-p-butyl is a herbicide for control of wild oats, volunteer cereals and other grass weeds, post emergence in broad-leaved crops and other situations.
FUSILADE MAX is rapidly absorbed through the leaves and moves upwards and downwards throughout the plant to the growing points. FUSILADE MAX is effective against both annual and perennial grass weeds including Common Couch. Decay of the growing points in stems is visible after 7 days. Foliar kill is complete in 3-4 weeks when weeds are actively growing under warm conditions.
FUSILADE MAX is independent of soil type as it acts through the foliage
Timing of Application
The timing of application is determined by the growth stage of the target weed (see weed control Table above). FUSILADE MAX is not recommended for the destruction of established grass swards.
Overall or directed sprays can be used but it is not advisable to apply overall when trees are at bud burst/flushing and before new foliage has hardened in the spring. Do not apply FUSILADE MAX during periods of bright sunlight or high temperatures as this may lead to foliage scorch. If applications are needed in midsummer then they should be made in the evening. Do not apply FUSILADE MAX when the ground is waterlogged or the trees are under stress from drought.
Note: Where a significant grass weed problem is present, the rate appropriate to the weed species must be used if this is higher than the rate required for cover crop removal.
Water Volume
Even cover of the weeds is essential for good results.
80 - 200 litres per hectare may be used in open crops with light weed infestations.
200 - 500 litres per hectare should be used in dense crop or in dense weed situations.
APPLICATION METHODS
Even cover of the weeds is essential for good results. Apply through a conventional hydraulic sprayer using a pressure of 2-4 bars.
For spray volumes 80 to 200 litres per hectare apply as a FINE spray.
For spray volumes above 200 litres per hectare apply as a MEDIUM spray.
Ensure that the sprayer is properly cleaned and washed before use, spray contamination may damage crops.
Correctly calibrate sprayer before use. Do not leave spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (i.e. during meals or overnight).
Application by air or through controlled droplet application equipment is not permitted.
