Spectrum of activity well suited to amenity grassland and managed amenity turf.

Useful control of perennial weeds.

LERAP category: Unclassified

Pack size: 1–20 litres

Other specific restrictions:

The total amount of mecoprop-P applied to an individual crop, or in a single year in the case of a perennial crop, must not exceed the maximum total dose of mecoprop-P approval for application to that crop by any single mecoprop-P containing product.

Do not apply by hand-held equipment.

 

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.

 

The crop should not be rolled or harrowed within a period of at least seven days before or after spraying with TURFMASTER.

Do not apply TURFMASTER to crops suffering from herbicide damage or stress caused by pests, nutrition defects or weather.

After liming ensure lime is washed off the crop and weeds before spraying.

Care should be taken to avoid overlap of spray swaths.

Do not apply during drought or if rain is expected within six hours of treatment.

Do not spray when cold or frosty conditions are prevalent.

Do not mow fine turf for 24 hours before or after treatment or for three days if treating less closely mown turf.

If renovating turf, do not re-seed for six to eight weeks after treatment.

Turf sown in spring or early summer may be ready for spraying after about two months, but turf sown later in the year should have delayed application for about eight months after sowing.

Do not use first four mowings for mulching unless composted for six months.

Avoid drift onto all broad-leaved plants outside the target area. To avoid spray drift, do not spray in windy or very still conditions. Spray drift must be avoided especially near susceptible crops such as tomatoes, lettuce, oilseed rape, vegetables, turnips, swedes, sugar beet, peas, glasshouse crops, fruit and ornamentals, etc.

Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto plants outside of the target area.

 

Weeds are most susceptible to TURFMASTER when growing vigorously under warm moist conditions. Results from spraying under cold or frosty conditions will not be as satisfactory.

 

5.0 l/ha.

It is safe to use on grasses from the three leaf stage onwards. It is damaging to clover and other legumes, and swards containing them should not be sprayed.

Apply in 170–400 litres of water per hectare.

 

5.0 l/ha.

Apply from April to September when the grass is actively growing.

Apply in 170–400 litres of water per hectare.

In managed amenity turf an application of fertiliser one to two weeks before treatment will aid weed control.

Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in the required amount of TURFMASTER. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. USE IMMEDIATELY following dilution. DO NOT allow diluted product to stand before use. Apply as a medium quality spray (as defined by BCPC). A spray pressure of twothree bar is recommended.

 

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.

 

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. TURFMASTER can be tank-mixed with other pesticides, please consult your Nufarm distributor or Nufarm UK Limited.

 

When herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, selection of resistant biotypes can take place. These can propagate and may become dominating. A weed species is considered to be resistant to a herbicide if it survives a correctly applied treatment at the recommended dose. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. This should include integrating herbicides with a programme of cultural control measures. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer.
