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.

 

DO NOT roll or harrow within a week of spraying.

DO NOT mow within four days of application.

The first four mowings after treatment must be composted for at least six months after use.

DO NOT treat newly established grass less than one year old.

DO NOT treat grass suffering from drought, disease, during freezing conditions when rain is imminent or other adverse factors.

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

DO NOT spray in windy weather, avoid drift on to neighbouring crops, especially beans, beet, brassicas, carrots, legumes, lettuce and tomatoes which are very susceptible.

DO NOT apply before undersowing.

WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly immediately after use. Rinse with water three times, drain and allow to dry. Traces of herbicide left in the sprayer may damage susceptible crops if these are subsequently sprayed using the same equipment. Do not apply in volumes less than 200 litres of water per hectare.

Always spray when the crop is actively growing.

 

1.4–3.3 l/ha (see ‘Weed Susceptibility’ table).

3.3 l/ha.

Apply in the spring from the leaf sheath erect stage to before third node detectable (GS 33).

Application under very hot conditions can cause ear damage if the crop comes under stress after application.

All varieties of winter wheat may be treated.

Apply in 200–400 litres of water per hectare.

 

1.4 to 3.3 l/ha (see ‘Weed Susceptibility’ table).

3.3 l/ha

For all cereals above apply in the spring before first node detectable stages (GS 31).

WINTER BARLEY, OATS AND RYE: Spray in the spring from the leaf sheath erect stage (GS 30).

SPRING WHEAT, BARLEY AND RYE: Spray after the crop has developed five fully expanded leaves (GS 15).

SPRING OATS: Spray after the crop has developed one fully expanded leaf (GS 11).

Application under very hot conditions at later timings can cause ear damage if the crop comes under stress after application.

Barley is particularly subject to malformation and particular attention must be paid to the correct growth stage if this crop is intended for malting.

All varieties of spring wheat, winter and spring barley, oats and rye may be treated.

Apply in 200–400 litres of water per hectare. Undersown cereals Do not apply to cereals undersown with lucerne, peas or sainfoin.

 

1.4 l/ha.

1.4 l/ha.

Application should be made when the red clover has at least two trifoliate leaves (GS 12), and the cereal crop is at the correct growth stage, as listed above.

Only apply if the weeds canopy is dense and covers most of the clover seedlings. Some damage to red clover must be expected, but this will normally be out-grown. Do not apply if white clover is present.

 

2.7 l/ha.

2.7 l/ha.

Application should be made when the grasses have begun to tiller, and the cereal crop is at the correct growth stage, as listed above.

Apply in 200–400 litres of water per hectare.

 

2.7–3.3 l/ha.

6.6 l/ha.

Use on established grassland and leys not less than one year old. Apply AGRITOX in spring and summer when growing conditions are favorable. Spray grass for hay or silage three–four weeks before cutting. Clover may be checked but recovers by the following Spring. Follow-up applications may also be needed where new seedling weeds appear. An interval of four–six weeks should elapse between successive applications if weeds persist.

A top dressing ten days before treatment is recommended to assist kill of weeds and subsequent recovery of the sward. Annual weed species will be best controlled if spraying is done while the majority of weeds are seedlings. Perennial weeds should be sprayed during their period of maximum growth, usually when the flower buds are beginning to form. The response of perennial weeds to treatments are often variable with only the aerial parts killed, though often suppression will occur. The recovery of the weeds will be reduced if the grass is growing vigorously at the time of treatment.

Apply in 200–400 litres of water per hectare.

 

3.2 l/ha.

3.2 l/ha.

The safe period for treatment occurs when the grasses have at least four leaves and have begun to tiller but at least five weeks preceding ear emergence. The best time varies according to the species and strain of grass concerned. Do not apply more than 3.2 l/ha of AGRITOX.

Apply in 200–400 litres of water per hectare.

 

Half-fill the tank with clean water and add the required quantity of AGRITOX, and add the remainder of the clean water with gently agitation which should continue until the contents are thoroughly mixed. Triple rinse containers with water and add washing to the spray tank. Spray using a MEDIUM/COARSE spray (BCPC).

 

WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly immediately after use. Rinse with water three times, drain and allow to dry. Traces of herbicide left in the sprayer may damage susceptible crops if these are subsequently sprayed using the same equipment.

 

AGRITOX 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.
