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.
Restrictions
DEBUT must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, low temperatures, pest or disease attack, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing crop growth.
Due to the high level of activity of the herbicide, special care must be taken to avoid damage by drift onto plants outside the target area, or onto surface waters or ditches. Thorough cleansing of equipment is also very important ‐ see below.
Following Crops ‐ After applying DEBUT to a beet crop, only winter cereals should be sown in the same calendar year. Any crop may be sown or planted in the following spring (next calendar year) after a beet crop treated with DEBUT .
Crop Failure ‐ In the event of crop failure for any reason, sow only spring barley, linseed or beet within four months of application of DEBUT, provided this agrees with the recommendations of any partner product. After four months from application, refer to "Following Crops" section.
Do not use on crops grown for seed.

Following crops:
After applying Debut to a beet crop, only winter cereals should be sown in the same calendar year. Any crop may be sown or planted in the following (next calendar) year after a beet crop treated with Debut.
Crop failure
In the event of crop failure, sow only spring barley, linseed or sugar beet within four months of application of Debut®, provided this agrees with the recommendations of any partner product. After four months from application, refer to the following crops section.
Dose
Apply DEBUT at 30 g/ha in tank‐mix with suitable herbicide tank‐mix partner(s).

Crops
DEBUT can be used on all varieties of sugar beet and fodder beet at the growth stages given below.

Timing
DEBUT can be applied from the early cotyledon stage of sugar beet or fodder beet as part of a planned programme. The first application should be made when the first weeds have emerged. Subsequent applications should be made every 7 ‐ 14 days when new flushes of weeds are at or just past the cotyledon stage.
Volume and Application
BEFORE USING DEBUT, SPRAYING EQUIPMENT MUST BE CLEAN AND FREE FROM CONTAMINATION WITH OTHER PESTICIDES.

BEFORE USING DEBUT, SPRAYING EQUIPMENT MUST BE CLEAN AND FREE FROM CONTAMINATION WITH OTHER PESTICIDES.
APPLICATION
DEBUT should be applied overall in 80 ‐ 150 litres of water per hectare, using suitable equipment to give a FINE spray, as defined by BCPC. Good, even spray cover of the weeds is essential for best results. Care should be taken not to overlap spray swaths.

BAND APPLICATION
Similar doses, water volumes and spray quality should be used as in overall application, but the area covered will be dependent upon the row spacing and band width. Careful calibration is essential to achieve best results.

Mixing
DEBUT mixes easily with water, but the following mixing procedure should be followed: Quarter fill the spray tank with water, start the agitation and add the required quantity of
DEBUT directly to the tank or via an induction bowl when fitted, without prior creaming. Continue agitation while topping up the tank and while spraying. Use the tank the same day as mixing. For mixing instructions with phenmedipham as a tank‐mix partner, see Compatibility Section.

Weather
Avoid high light intensity (full sunlight) and high temperatures (above 21°C) on the day of spraying. Avoid periods of substantial day to night temperature changes or when frost is expected.

Intervals
When Debut or its tank mixes are used in sequence with most recommended graminicides a 7 day minimum time interval should be observed between applications. A 14 day interval should elapse between Debut tank-mixes and tepraloxydim (Aramo).
Soils
Debut can be used on all soil types. Weed control may be reduced when soil conditions are dry.
Resistance management
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 propagate and may become dominating. A weed species is considered resistant to a herbicide if it survives a correctly-applied treatment at the recommended dose. Development of resistance within a weed species can be avoided or delayed by alternating (or tank-mixing) with suitable products having a different mode of action.
Weeds controlled
Debut mixes should be used as part of a well-timed, post-emergence herbicide programme. Best results are usually obtained when two Debut treatments are made sequentially in a programme. The dose rates of the mixes should be adjusted to crop growth stage and the first postemergence applications in any programme should be applied when the weeds are at very early growth stages (early cotyledon).
