DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the product label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

GENERAL INFORMATION

GLOSSET 600 SC is a contact and residual herbicide for the pre- and post-emergence control of a range of annual grassy and broad-leaved weeds in winter wheat, spelt wheat, winter barley, winter rye and triticale.
Some soil moisture is required for GLOSSET 600 SC to be activated. Moist soil at and after application is required to give the best results. Best results will be obtained if rainfall occurs within 7 days of application.
Residual control will be reduced under prolonged dry conditions.
Established perennial grasses and broad-leaved weeds growing from rootstocks will not be controlled by GLOSSET 600 SC.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

GLOSSET 600 SC can be used as a pre- or post-emergence herbicide in winter wheat, winter barley, winter rye, triticale and spelt wheat for the control of a range of annual grassy and broad-leaved weeds at a dose of 0.2 L/ha or 0.4 L/ha.
The Maximum dose for a single use is 0.4 L/ha. One application per crop.
Applications can be made pre-emergence up to and including the 3 leaf stage of the crop (BBCH 13).

MIXING AND SPRAYING

Make sure the sprayer is set to give an even application at the correct volume. Fill the spray tank with half the required volume of clean water and start agitation. Add the required amount of GLOSSET 600 SC and continue agitation whilst adding the rest of the water. Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and continue agitation during spraying.
Apply in 200-300 litres of water per hectare as a MEDIUM spray (BCPC) with a tractor mounted/trailed horizontal boom sprayer. Good, even spray coverage of soil and weeds is essential.
Take extreme care to avoid overlapping of spray swaths.
After use immediately wash out the sprayer thoroughly three times with water.

RESTRICTIONS

Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto non-crop plants outside of the target area.
Do not use in windy conditions in order to avoid the risk of drift onto other crops.
Take extreme care to avoid overlapping of spray swaths.
Do not treat broadcast, shallow drilled crops or those sown under unfavourable weather condition as emerging seeds could be damaged.
DO NOT treat undersown cereals or those due to be undersown.
DO NOT disturb the soil after application (e.g. by harrowing or rolling).
DO NOT use on sands or very light soils (ADAS 85 classification) or very stony or gravelly soils, as there is a risk of crop damage.
DO NOT use on waterlogged soils or soils prone to waterlogging.
Adverse crop effect (paling, reduction in vigour) may occur when there is very wet weather before and after application, particularly on crops grown on light free draining soils or where soils become waterlogged. These effects are typically transitory in nature and will have no adverse effect on crop yield in most cases.
Do not spray when crops suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, grazing, pests or disease attack, nutrient deficiency, soil compaction or other factors reducing crop growth.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

Glosset 600 SC contains Flufenacet, a group K3 herbicide. Strains of some annual weeds (e.g.
Black-grass, Wild oats and Italian Ryegrass) have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. This should include integrating herbicides with a programme of cultural control measures and alternating the use of Glosset 600 SC with other herbicides with a different mode of action and a similar spectrum of activity. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed
Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the AHDB, CPA, your distributor or crop adviser. Implement a weed resistance strategy based on Good Agricultural Practice and including the following:
• ALWAYS follow WRAG guidelines for preventing and managing herbicide resistant weeds.
• DO NOT use GLOSSET 600 SC as a stand-alone treatment for black-grass control.
Use only in tank-mix or sequence with herbicides with alternative modes of action.
• Throughout the cropping rotation and in successive crops DO NOT use GLOSSET 600 SC as the sole means of grass weed or broadleaved weed control and ALWAYS use grass and broad-leaved weed herbicides with alternative modes of action.
• ALWAYS monitor weed control effectiveness and investigate any odd patches of poor grass or broad-leaved weed control. If unexplained contact your agronomist who may consider a resistance test appropriate.
• To reduce the risk of developing resistance, applications should be made preemergence or to young, actively growing weeds.
• Use crop rotation and other cultural control measures to prevent and manage herbicide resistant grass weeds.
