WEEDS CONTROLLED
TROPOTOX applied at 4.5 l/ha will control those annual weeds as indicated in the weed control table.
TROPOTOX should be applied when the crop is actively growing and is at the correct growth stage. The best results will be obtained if spraying is done while the majority of annual weeds are at the seedling stage and for perennials when the flower bud is forming.

* These are provisional recommendations based on two years of crop safety trials. Contact your supplier for further details.

For further information on varietal susceptibility consult PGRO.
Water volume
On peas use a rate of 200 to 400 litres of water per hectare.
Use a minimum rate of 225 l/ha in dense crops, or if weed growth is dense.

Spray quality
Apply as a MEDIUM quality spray (as defined by BCPC). A spray pressure of 2–3 bar is recommended.

Timing
TROPOTOX should only be applied to peas when the crop is at the correct growth stage.
Application should be made from when the crop has three nodes (three fully expanded leaves) until BEFORE the flower buds can be found enclosed in the folded terminal leaf.
Particular care should be taken when treating earlier flowering varieties to ensure that flower buds can not be detected at application.
Later applications made when the flower buds are present may result in reduced yield.
Crops suffering from drought stress may exhibit more visible crop damage or growth distortion.

MIXING
Apply using a conventional ground vehicle mounted/drawn equipment. Ensure that all application equipment is clean. Add half the required volume of water and start agitation, add the required quantity of TROPOTOX. Fill the tank to the required volume of water whilst maintaining agitation. Continuous agitation must be maintained until spraying is complete. After use, the spraying machine must be thoroughly cleaned.
Wash equipment thoroughly with water and wetting agent or liquid detergent immediately after use. Wash out again with water, drain and allow drying.
Spray out, fill with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out again before storing or using for another product. Traces of TROPOTOX can cause harm to susceptible crops sprayed later.
