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.
Headland Charge is a hormone herbicide which is absorbed by both shoots and roots and rapidly translocated within herbaceous plants.
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 propogate 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 advisor or product manufacturer.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
WINTER WHEAT, OATS AND BARLEY
Rate of Application: 2.0 L product/ha in the spring before GS33
Time of Application: The 2.0 L/ha rate may only be used once the crop has reached leaf sheath erect stage. Headland Charge may be applied up to before third node detectable stage in the spring.
If sharp or severe frosts occur within three to four weeks of application to barley under stress or of low vigour on light soils, scorch or stunting may occur and yields may be less than optimum

SPRING WHEAT, OATS AND BARLEY
Rate of Application: 1.5 to 2.0 L product/ha dependant on the target weed species. The 2.0 L/ha rate may only be used once the crop has reached leaf sheath erect stage.
Time of Application: One application of Headland Charge can be made from the first fully expanded leaf stage until before the first node is detectable (GS31)

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Apply as a MEDIUM spray as defined by BCPC.
Water Volume
The spray volume for Headland Charge alone or in mixtures is 185-330 L/water/ha. The lowest volume should only be used in open crops where weeds are small and where recommendations for any tank mix partner allow. As weeds become larger and/or crop cover increases, then the water volume should be increased.
This is particularly important with cleavers. Once cleavers are beyond the two whorl stage up to six whorls, a water volume of 330 litres per hectare is required to ensure good coverage and control.

Mixing
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in the required amount of
Headland Charge. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed.
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
