DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Notes
Weather conditions for application
Do not spray when crops are under stress from cold, drought, pest damage, nutrient deficiency etc.
Do not roll or harrow 7 days before or after application
Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto non-crop plants outside of the target area.
 
Restrictions/Warnings Crop failure
In the event of crop failure in the spring after an application of Bow, only the following crops may be planted following cultivation to 20 cm: Spring wheat, spring barley or spring oats.
 
Following crops
Crops that can be sown in the same year as a crop treated with Bow is harvested: Cereals, oilseed rape, field beans and vegetable brassicas as transplants.
(Vigour reductions may be seen in following crops of oilseed rape after a dry summer. This will be outgrown and will not result in yield loss).
Crops that can be sown in the calendar year following treatment with Bow: Cereals, oilseed rape, field beans, grass, peas, sugar beet, potatoes, maize, and vegetable brassicas as transplants.
Take extreme care to avoid drift onto crops and non-target plants outside the target area.
Occasionally seedlings of brassica crops may exhibit slight discolouration of the cotyledons, which is normally outgrown without affecting subsequent growth. Where diflufenican containing products are applied to successive cereal crops, levels of diflufenican will build up in the soil. Even with ploughing to 150mm and thorough mixing of the soil, there may still be a risk of damage
to following crops of onions, leeks, other allium crops and clover. As a precaution, users who rent out their land to growers of these crops should not use diflufenican containing products in successive years before renting out that land.’
 
Water Volume
Apply Bow in 150-300 l/ha of water.
 
Mixing and Application
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of Bow. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.
When tank mixes are to be used, and unless directed otherwise, the preferred order of addition of products to the spray tank is as follows: water, dispersible granules, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, solution concentrate. Each product should be added separately to a half filled spray tank and fully dispersed before the addition of the next product.
Apply Bow as a MEDIUM spray as defined by the BCPC system.
 
Resistance
Florasulam is an ALS inhibitor. Herbicide Resistant Weeds Classification (HRAC), B
Diflufenican is a Pyridinecarboxamide. Herbicide Resistant Weeds Classifi- cation (HRAC), F1
Avoid using herbicides with a single mode of action, such as ALS herbicides, in the same field over a number of years. Growers should apply products containing herbicides with different modes of action or use sequences or tank mixes where two or more components are active against the target weeds.
