A pre-emergence herbicide for the control of black-grass and a range of annual broad-leaved weeds in winter wheat.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Good weed control depends on burying any trash or straw before or during seedbed preparation.
Seedbeds must have a firm, fine tilth. Loose or cloddy seed beds must be consolidated otherwise crop damage may result due to inadequate seed cover. For pre-emergence treatments, seed should be covered with a minimum of 32 mm of settled soil.
Apply Bandur pre-emergence of the crop at a maximum rate of 1.4 litres of product per hectare on winter wheat, or 1.0 litres of product per hectare on winter barley.
Apply via a horizontal boom sprayer, in 200 to 400 litres of water per hectare as a
MEDIUM spray (BCPC category). A spray pressure of at least 2 bars is advised. Good, even spray coverage of soil and weeds is essential. Ensure that spray swaths do not overlap. To prevent damage, care must be taken to avoid drift onto neighbouring crops.
Cultivation after spraying will encourage weed germination and reduce the residual activity of Bandur. On mineral soils with a high organic matter content and on peaty or organic soils the residual activity of Bandur may be reduced.
Only one application of Bandur should be made to the crop.

MIXING
Shake the container well before use. Half fill the spray tank with clean water, begin agitation and add the required amount of Bandur. Wash out the container and add the washings to the spray solution, before topping up with clean water. Continue agitation until spraying is completed. Do not leave the sprayer filled with the spray solution standing for long periods. Wash out the sprayer thoroughly after use using a wetting agent or proprietary tank cleaner
