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 OR WARNINGS
Ascent is a contact and residual herbicide mixture for broadleaved and annual grass weed control in winter wheat and winter barley. It may be used on all varieties of winter wheat and winter barley and can be applied pre or post-emergence of weeds and crop. Effective weed control requires that all surface trash and straw is buried during seedbed preparation and when applied pre-emergence of the crop the seed must be covered by at least 32mm of settled soil. After application the soil surface should remain undisturbed so do not harrow or roll and do not incorporate the herbicide. Loose or cloddy seedbeds must be consolidated otherwise crop damage may result due to inadequate seed cover. Other points to consider for safe and effective use include:
• Avoid treatment of crops suffering from stress caused by pest or disease attack, drought or water-logging, grazing, nutrient deficiency, compacted soils or any other factor that reduces crop growth.
• Do not treat crops grown on waterlogged soils or on soil prone to waterlogging.
• Do not treat undersown crops or those that will be undersown.
• Do not use on sands, very light soils (ADAS 85 classification) or on very stony or gravelly soils due to the risk of crop injury.
• Do not use on soils with more than 10% organic matter content.
• Do not treat broadcast seed or shallow drilled crops since the seed may be damaged.
If very wet weather or sharp frosts occur before or after application, some crops may suffer from a loss of vigour or colour, particularly on light free draining soils or where soils become waterlogged. These effects are usually transitory in nature and the final yield of the crop is not normally affected.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Shake the container well before use. Before spraying it is important to check all hoses, filters and nozzles, and to ensure that the sprayer is clean and correctly set to give an even application at the correct volume. Half fill the spray tank with clean water. Begin agitation and add the required quantity of Ascent. Add the remainder of the water and agitate the mixture thoroughly before and during spraying. A water volume of 200-400 l/ha is recommended with the higher
volumes within this range used where weed and crop cover is dense to ensure good coverage of the target weeds. Do not overlap spray swaths. Do not leave the sprayer standing forlong periods when filled with the spray solution. After use, wash out the sprayer thoroughly with a minimum of two rinses using a wetting agent or a proprietary tank cleaner.
