An agricultural/horticultural herbicide for use in sugar beet and fodder beet
A suspension concentrate containing 700 g/L of Metamitron

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Pre-emergence application (low dose programmes)

The recommended treatment is to apply Gloflo in an overall preemergence application before a post-emergence programme begins.

Rate of use: 3 litres Gloflo per hectare in 150 to 200 litres of water.
Timing: Gloflo may be applied pre-emergence at any stage from sowing up to crop emergence; improved results are achieved when soil moisture is available
Post-emergence applications (Tank-mix recommendations).

Treatments options/Timing (Crop Stage/Weeds Stage)
GloFlo 1 litres/ha + phenmedipham/ ethofumesate 2 Litres/ha / From the first true leaf stage provided no pre-emergence herbicide has been used.
GloFlo 1.5 litres/ha + phenmedipham/ ethofumesate 3 Litres/ha / From the first pair of true leaves expanded / From one true leaf stage provided no preemergence herbicide has been used.
Gloflo 1.5-2.0 litres/ha + phenmedipham/ ethofumesate 3-5 Litres/ha / From two pairs of true leaves of the crop / At the two to four leaf stage.

Number of sprays: For optimum results, any of the above recommendations in any sequence in accordance with the recommendations and timings as specified may be used. Soil type, climate and overall growing conditions will influence the exact number of sprays.

Method of application: Tractor mounted hydraulic sprayer.

Forward Speed: A forward speed for spraying of 8 kph (5mph) should not be exceeded.

Pressure: 2.5-5 bar.

Water volume: 80-120 litres/hectare.

Specific weed situations: Scutch and other grass weeds: Where Gloflo has been used in a tank mix with phenmedipham/ethofumesate a following application of an approved Graminicide for Sugar or Fodder Beet may be used in accordance with manufacturers guidelines.

Crop Tolerance: Consistent weed control can be achieved with Gloflo in conjunction with a high level of safety towards beet. If however, the beet plant is under stress due to factors such as: previously applied pesticides and herbicides (other than Gloflo pre-emergence), sudden temperature fluctuations, intense sunlight, high temperature at application, prolonged cold spell, wind damage, nutrient deficiencies (i.e manganese), disease and insect attack, cotyledon tip scorch may occasionally result because beet plants are very sensitive to herbicide treatment if under stress. For residual activity and efficacy to be optimum, a full programme of sprays must be used since the residual activity is dependant on the cumulative rate of Gloflo applied.

Following Crops: The last application of Gloflo should be made 16 weeks prior to sowing a winter cereal crop.
