DAKOTA herbicide has activity against a range of broad-leaved weeds. The ideal timing for application is when the weeds are small and actively growing. The effectiveness of DAKOTA may be reduced when soils are very dry. NOTES Avoid overlapping spray bouts. Do not use any plant material treated with DAKOTA for composting or mulching. Do not use manure from animals fed on crops treated with DAKOTA for composting. 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. Take extreme care to avoid drift onto crops and non-target plants outside the target area.

 

Straw from cereals sprayed with DAKOTA may contain residues which could damage certain crops. To avoid such risk bale and cart away the straw. Where straw is chopped and incorporated do not plant winter beans in the same year as treatment with DAKOTA.

DAKOTA residues in plant tissues (including manure and digestate) which have not completely decayed may affect succeeding susceptible crops. If treated crop remains have not fully decayed by the time of planting following crops then avoid planting: peas, beans and other legumes; carrots and other umbellifers; potatoes; lettuce and other compositae; glasshouse and protected crops. Crops that can be sown in the same year as a crop treated with DAKOTA is harvested: Cereals, oilseed rape* , grass 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 DAKOTA: Cereals, oilseed rape, field beans, grass, linseed, peas, sugar beet, potatoes, maize, clover (for use in grass/clover mixtures), carrots and vegetable brassicas as transpants.

 

In the event of a crop failure in the spring with DAKOTA only the following crops may be planted: spring wheat, spring barley, spring oats, maize or ryegrass.

 

DAKOTA contains active ingredients with differing modes of action and therefore the risk of resistance building is reduced. However as florasulam is an ALS inhibitor there is a risk of resistance building to this active ingredient and so precautions should be taken to minimise the risk. Therefore avoid using single mode of action herbicides, such as ALS herbicides in the same field over a number of years. Growers are advised to apply products containing herbicides with different modes of action or use sequences or tank mixtures where two or more components are active against the target weeds.

 

DAKOTA can be applied in the spring on all varieties of winter and spring wheat (but not Durum wheat), winter and spring barley and winter and spring oats.

 

DAKOTA may be used on all soil types.

 

Winter wheat, winter barley DAKOTA should be applied in the spring once the crop has reached 3 leaves (GS 13), up to and including flag leaf sheath visible stage (GS 37 inclusive).

Spring wheat, spring barley DAKOTA should be applied in the spring once the crop has reached 3 leaves (GS 13), up to and including second node detectable stage (GS 32 inclusive).

Winter oats, spring oats DAKOTA should be applied in the spring once the crop has reached 3 leaves (GS 13), up to and including the before second node detectable stage (GS 31 inclusive).

WEED SUSCEPTIBILITY AND MAXIMUM SIZE CONTROLLED One application of 1.5 L/ha of DAKOTA will control all susceptible emerged weeds. For optimum performance it is important to check the size of weeds before application.
