A suspension concentrate formulation containing 500 g/l (44.3 w/w) ethofumesate.
ETHOSAT 500 is a herbicide for control of annual grass and broad-leaved weeds in
sugar beet, fodder beet, red beet and mangels and in amenity grassland.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
ETHOSAT 500 can be used as a pre- or post-weed emergence herbicide in sugar beet, fodder beet, red beet and mangels.
RESTRICTIONS AND WARNINGS
Weather conditions
As with many residual herbicides, adverse weather, soil or cultural conditions may lead to unsatisfactory results or a check to growth from which recovery may not be complete.
Do not apply when the air temperature is above 21°C or is likely to rise above this temperature on the day of treatment. In these situations, wait for more suitable conditions (e.g.: spray in the late afternoon or early evening, provided that the temperature has dropped below 21°C). Do not apply during frosty conditions or if frost is forecast or likely to occur within 7 days of treatment.
Drift
Avoid drift to areas outside those being sprayed, having due regard to the prevailing weather conditions and spray quality being used.
Crop Conditions
Apply to healthy crops that are growing normally.
DO NOT apply to any crop that is under stress from any cause. Stress can be caused by many factors (examples below). In situations where more than one stress factor is present, the check to crop growth can be severe, possibly leading to some loss of crop and a reduction in yield.
Temperature
When significant variation occurs between day and night temperature, for a few days before or after application, the crop may suffer a check to growth from which it may not fully recover.
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Sugar Beet, Red Beet, Fodder Beet and Mangels
All varieties of these crops (including seed crops) may be sprayed with ETHOSAT 500.
Consult the processor before using ETHOSAT 500 on contracted crops of beet.
APPLICATION
ETHOSAT 500 can be applied pre-emergence of the weed and post-emergence of the crop and weed, either as a conventional overall application or repeat low dose
programme.
OVERALL AND BAND APPLICATION
Maximum Individual Dose: 2 L/ha of ETHOSAT 500
Total Maximum Dose: 2 L/ha of ETHOSAT 500
The following doses apply to OVERALL AND BAND APPLICATION. For band application, the doses relate to the area of the sprayed band. The area of field treated by these doses depends on the row spacing and the width of the band. For information on band spraying see APPLICATION.
APPLICATION
Volume: 200 – 240 litres water / hectare
Spray Quality – Overall Application
ETHOSAT 500 should be applied as a MEDIUM quality spray (BCPC definition). Do NOT use a coarse quality spray such as produced by low pressure of “reduced- drift” nozzles, as this may give poor weed control.
Spray Quality – Band Application
Flat fan nozzles, including Evenspray nozzles, with a fan angle of 80° and having an output of 0.4 litres per minute at 3 bar pressure are particularly suitable for application to an 18 cm band at 240 litres / hectare.
Tank Mixes
For control of black-bindweed up to the first true leaf stage Ethosat 500 may be used in a split dose treatment in mixture with Shrapnel. 1.0 l/ha Ethosat 500 should be mixed with 1 l/ha Shrapnel and this may be followed by a second application of 1.0 l/ha Ethosat 500 mixed with 1 l/ha Shrapnel. Applications must be separated by an interval at least of 5 days.
