Restrictions/Warnings
Efficacy
Some soil moisture must be present for PDM 330 EC to be activated. Best results will be obtained if rainfall occurs within seven days of application.
Residual control may be reduced:
- under prolonged dry conditions
- on soils with a high Kd factor
- where organic matter exceeds 6%
- where ash content is high
Do not disturb the soil after PDM 330 EC has been applied as this will result in reduced weed control.
Where cultural practices which encourage the build up of organic matter in the soil surface are practiced for a number of seasons the effectiveness of residual herbicides may be reduced. In such circumstances, periodic ploughing is recommended to disperse residues into a greater volume of soil.
Soil types
PDM 330 EC may be used on all mineral soil types.
Do not use on soils with more than 10% organic matter.
On stony or gravely soils, crop damage could occur, particularly, if heavy rain follows treatment.
Do not use on water logged soil or soils prone to water logging.
Seedbed preparation
Trash and straw should be incorporated evenly during seedbed preparation.
Seedbed must have a fine, firm tilth.
Consolidate loose or cloddy seedbeds before use.
Following pre-emergence applications, unconsolidated clods (especially if larger than 7.5cm (3”) diameter) may reduce the level of weed control and cause seed to be inadequately covered, which could result in crop damage.
Crop safety
Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto plants outside of the target area.
Do not apply PDM 330 EC to crops suffering from stress, which may be caused for example by pests, disease, water logging, poor seedbed conditions or previous chemical treatment.
Seed should be covered with a minimum of 3.2cm of settled soil (2.5cm for Peas and Sunflowers, 5cm for maize).
Shallow drilled crops should be treated post-emergence.
Do not soil incorporate.
Do not spray undersown crops.
Do not undersow crops treated with PDM 330 EC.
PDM 330 EC should not be used on protected crops, or in greenhouses.
Other Restrictions/Warnings
Before using PDM 330 EC on crops to be processed please consult your processor.
Concentrated or diluted PDM 330 EC will stain. Avoid spillage.
Staining is minimised or completely removed if skin and clothes are washed immediately.
Hose down machinery immediately after use with a spray tank cleaner.
 
Following Crops
Following crops after normal harvest
Before Rye grass is drilled after a very dry season, plough or cultivate to at least 15cm.
If spring crops are to be followed by crops other than cereals plough or cultivate to at least 15cm.
In the event of crop failure
In the event of crop failure the land must be ploughed or thoroughly cultivated to a minimum depth of 15cm to ensure any residues are evenly dispersed throughout the soil.
 
Mixing and application
Mixing
Never prepare more spray solution than is required.
Half fill the tank with clean water and start the agitation. To ensure thorough mixing of the product, invert the container several times before opening.
Add the required quantity of PDM 330 EC to the spray tank while re-circulating. Fill up the tank with water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.
When tank mixes are to be used, take due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing. Each product should be added separately to the spray tank and fully dispersed before the addition of any further product(s).
On emptying the container, rinse container thoroughly by using an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinsing three times. Add washings to sprayer at time of filling and dispose of container safely.
Application
Ensure good, even spray cover of the target using a FINE or MEDIUM quality spray, as defined by BCPC.
Apply PDM 330 EC in 100-200 l/ha. When tank mixing with other products use a minimum water volume of 150-200 l/ha depending on the tank mix partner.
For potatoes apply PDM 330 EC in minimum 200 l/ha.
When using 100 l/ha include an 80 mesh inline boom filter.
Sprayer cleaning
After spraying, thoroughly clean and flush out application machinery with a minimum of three rinses, to ensure that all traces of product are removed.
Tank Mixtures
For up-to-date details of compatible tank-mixes, contact your supplier, local BASF representative or BASF Technical Services Hotline on 0845 6022553.
When tank-mixing ONLY APPLY within label conditions for each product.
PDM 330 EC may be used in sequence with any other approved product. Leave a minimum interval of 24 hours unless longer is specified on the label.
PDM 330 EC may be applied in sequence with Avadex Excel 15G provided only one product is applied pre-emergence of the crop.
