Contains 319 g/l (27.5% w/w) mecoprop-p and 42 g/l (3.6% w/w) dicamba as the potassium salts.

 

Introduction:
Applications of DI-FARMON R may be made to all commercially available varieties of Winter and Spring Wheat, Barley and Oats, Established Leys and Permanent Grassland. Do not use DI-FARMON R on Cereals which have been or are to be undersown.
Annual weeds in Cereals will be best controlled if spraying is done while the majority of weeds are seedlings and the crop is actively growing and at the correct growth stage. In Grassland, biennial and perennial weeds should be sprayed during their period of maximum growth - usually just before flowering.
The response of perennial weeds to treatment is often variable with only the aerial parts killed though suppression will often occur. The recovery of weeds will be reduced if the crop is growing vigorously at the time of treatment.
DI-FARMON R is active at low concentrations. Do not spray in windy conditions as the spray drift may cause damage to neighbouring crops. The following crops
are particularly susceptible: Beet, Brassicae (e.g. Turnip, Swede, Oilseed Rape) and market garden crops including Lettuce, Tomatoes, Top Fruit and Vines.

 

Cautions:
DO NOT spray crops which are undersown or are to be undersown. Clovers or other Legumes may be killed or severely checked by DI-FARMON R. DO NOT apply in periods of drought, frosty weather or if frosts are expected or if rain is expected.
DO NOT roll or harrow within 7 days before or after application.
AVOID overlapping spray swaths.
DO NOT SPRAY in windy weather and avoid drift onto broad-leaved plants outside the target area.

 

Mixing and Application:
Wash out the spraying machine spray booms and nozzles to ensure that no traces of previous chemical treatment remain. Calibrate the machine to the required constant speed and rate of delivery.
Fill the tank with half the required amount of clean water and start agitation.
Add the required amount of DI-FARMON R and continue agitation whilst adding the rest of the water.
Agitate the mixture thoroughly before use and during spraying. Ensure that the spray booms are set at the correct height, to give uniform distribution of spray just above crop and weeds.
Take care to maintain correct pressure and speed to ensure application at the recommended rate.
Thoroughly wash all spraying equipment after use to remove all traces of chemical.
