WEEDS CONTROLLED
DB Straight is a selective herbicide for use postemergence to control broad-leaved weeds in cereals, grassland, lucerne, and clover DB Straight applied at 4.5 l/ha will control those annual weeds as listed and will control perennial weeds as indicated. Annual weeds will be best controlled if spraying is done while the majority of weeds are seedlings. Perennial weeds should be sprayed during their period of maximum growth, usually when the flower buds are beginning to form. The response of perennial weeds to treatments are often variable with only the aerial parts killed, though often suppression will occur. The recovery of weeds will be reduced if the sward is growing vigorously at the time of treatment.
