A soluble concentrate containing 600 g/l (46.5% w/w) mecoprop-P and 80 g/l (6.2% w/w) Dicamba as potassium salts. A selective herbicide for the control of broadleaved weeds in wheat, barley, oats and undersown cereal crops and established grassland.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
- Controls a broad spectrum of annual broad-leaved weeds including Chickweed.
- Weed control spectrum especially suited to spring sown cereals.
- Controls a wide range of perennial weeds in grassland.
- Can be used in cereals undersown with grass.
- Concentrated formulation reduces packaging waste.
- Good mecoprop-P loading for mecoprop-P sensitive grassland weeds.

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.

RESTRICTIONS
DO NOT roll or harrow crop within a period of at least seven days before or after spraying HIGH LOAD MIRCAM.
DO NOT apply HIGH LOAD MIRCAM to crops suffering from herbicide damage or stress caused by pests, nutrition defects or weather.
DO NOT spray if rain is expected within six hours.
DO NOT spray when cold or frosty conditions are prevalent.
DO NOT spray where drift may cause damage to susceptible crops, particularly tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, turnips, swedes, beet and pears.
Should crops be sprayed beyond the recommended times damage can occur which may result in reduction in yield.
After liming ensure lime is washed off the crop and weeds before spraying. Animals should NOT be allowed to graze treated grassland for at least 14 days after spraying.
If poisonous weeds such as Ragwort are present, do not allow livestock into the field for at least 14 days or until the foliage has died down and become unpalatable.
DO NOT cut sprayed fields for silage if poisonous weeds are present, until all such weeds are dead.
DO NOT use in grass fields where clover forms an important part of the sward.
DO NOT cut, graze, roll or harrow for seven days before or after spraying. Avoid drift onto all broad-leaved plants outside the target area.

WEEDS CONTROLLED
It is best to spray in warm, moist weather when the weeds are actively growing.

Cereals
Susceptible
Growth stage controlled:
Controlled from cotyledon to two true leaves up to six true leaves or 50 mm across and 50 mm high
Black Bindweed, Stinking Chamomile, Charlock, Common Chickweed, Cleavers (Only controlled up to first whorl stafe), Dove’s foot Cranesbill, Fat Hen, Common Fumitory.

Moderately susceptible
Growth stage controlled:
Controlled at cotyledon to two true leaves and checked at six true leaves or 50 mm across ¥ 50 mm high
Corn Buttercup, White Campion, Pineapple weed

Moderately resistant
Growth stage controlled:
Checked at cotyledon to two true leaves stage
Common Hemp-nettle and Common Poppy (Improved control can be achieved by adding 2.8 litres of Agritox 50 (MAFF 14814) or other approved salt formulations of MCPA), Smooth Sowthistle, Stinking Mayweed

Perennial weeds
Growth stage controlled:
Apply at the early flowering stage provided this is still within the recommended timing for cereals. Shoots will be killed but further treatments may be required in other years to get complete kill
Creeping Buttercup, Curled Dock, Broadleaved Dock, Creeping Thistle

Resistant weeds
Red Deadnette, Corn Marigold, Wild Pansy

Grassland
Perennial:
Creeping Buttercup, Dock, Daisy, Stinging Nettle, Plantain, Creeping Thistle, Spear Thistle
Growth stage controlled:
Established perennials are best treated when the flower buds are visible. HIGH LOAD MIRCAM is most effective against Docks in the seedling stage or during the early phase of regeneration from shoots. Established perennials are difficult to kill and a second spray may be required. For longterm reduction treatment may have to be repeated the following season

Annual: Chickweed, Scentless Mayweed
Growth stage controlled: Seedling and young plant stage (three–four leaves)

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Dose:
1.0 – 1.25 l/ha
Winter wheat, winter barley and winter oats
Apply from leaf sheath erect stage of crop growth to before first node is detectable

Spring wheat, spring barley and spring oats
Apply from five expanded leaf stage but before first node is detectable

Undersown cereals
Do not apply to grass until tillering begins. Do not use on cereals undersown with clover and legume mixtures. Do not use on any other undersown crop

Permanent grassland and rotational grassland
Application as an overall treatment may take place at any time between May and October; optimum timing depends on the target weed growth stage and the interval between application and grazing or cutting for silage

Water volume
Apply in 200 to 400 litres of water per hectare.
NOTE: It is important to note that under some growing conditions the crop may be seen to be prostrated after spraying but recovery is rapid and the crop will grow away normally. HIGH LOAD MIRCAM acts slowly and two-three weeks may elapse before the full effect on weeds is observed.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in the required amount of HIGH LOAD MIRCAM. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. Wash equipment thoroughly immediately after use. Fill the tank with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out before storage or using other products. Traces of the product may cause damage to susceptible crops sprayed later.

COMPATIBILITY
When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing. While most pesticides are compatible with HIGH LOAD MIRCAM, other manufacturers’ recommendations should be checked before mixing.

STORAGE
Keep dry and frost free in a suitable pesticide store.
DO NOT RE-USE THE CONTAINER for any purpose.
