FLEXIDOR* 125 has residual activity which may influence husbandry prior to the next crop in the rotation.

Following crops of oilseed rape, stubble turnips, other brassicas, sugar and fodder beet are particularly sensitive to FLEXIDOR 125.

Land must be mouldboard ploughed to at least 20 cm following the use of FLEXIDOR 125 before drilling/planting succeeding crops other than cereals, fruit crops, herbage seed crops, grass leys and amenity grass, forestry plantings, hardy ornamental crops and plantings, potatoes and maize.

Do not use FLEXIDOR 125 in the 12 months prior to grubbing any fruit crop or lifting field grown hardy ornamental nursery stock or forestry plants if sugar beet, vegetables, oilseed rape or other brassica crops are to be grown as a following crop.

The practice of soil sterilisation may retard the normal degradation of FLEXIDOR 125 and thus may pose a risk to following crops. Do not therefore carry out both soil sterilisation and application of FLEXIDOR 125 within the two years prior to replanting.

When FLEXIDOR 125 is used in tank mix or in sequence with other products, consult other manufacturer's recommendations for following crops.

In the event of crop failure treated soil should first be cultivated. Only cereals or grass may then be sown.

Before use on crops for processing, consult your processor.

 

To ensure thorough mixing of the product invert the container several times before opening. Add the required amount of FLEXIDOR 125 herbicide to a half-filled spray tank under agitation and complete filling the tank.

 

FLEXIDOR 125 may be applied through tractor mounted hydraulic sprayers and knapsack sprayers equipped with nozzles producing a medium spray quality as defined by the BCPC system. For tractor mounted hydraulic sprayers use a standard boom sprayer with bypass agitation. Ensure the pump has sufficient capacity to provide good agitation and generate adequate pressure. The spray boom and nozzles should be set to provide even coverage, which should be checked during application.

 

For fruit crops apply FLEXIDOR 125 in a volume of 100 to 400 litres of water per hectare. For other crops and situations refer to the relevant section. Apply as a MEDIUM spray as defined by the BCPC system.

 

The best results will be obtained when FLEXIDOR 125 is applied to well prepared moist seedbeds free of clods. Rolling loose or fluffy seedbeds after drilling and prior to spraying will improve weed control.

 

FLEXIDOR 125 can be safely applied to sand, light, medium and heavy soils. The activity of FLEXIDOR 125 may be reduced in soils with high levels of organic matter. Do not use on soils with more than 10% organic matter except on container grown hardy ornamental nursery stock. Application of organic manures will also reduce the level of weed control. FLEXIDOR 125 should be applied before mulching. Leaf litter and prunings should be removed before application to allow even coverage of the product.

 

Under dry soil conditions weed control may be reduced. Irrigation, where practicable, will enhance product performance. Tank mix partners will also contribute to improved weed control - see relevant crop section.

 

FLEXIDOR 125 is safe on all varieties of established apple, cherry, pear, plum, blackcurrant, gooseberry, table grapes, wine grapes, blackberry, raspberry, strawberry and hop.

 

The following broad-leaved weeds are susceptible following application of FLEXIDOR 125 before weed emergence and under conditions of adequate soil moisture. FLEXIDOR 125 does not control grass weeds.

 

Treat established top fruit (apples, pears, plums, cherries), bush fruit (blackcurrant, gooseberries), summer fruiting cane fruit (raspberries, blackberries), strawberries, table grapes, wine grapes and hops with a rate of 2.0 litres/ha in 100 to 400 litres of water per hectare.

Apply once a year, before weed emergence and during the dormant season of the crop. Treat between October and 1st April. The best results will be obtained when FLEXIDOR 125 is applied to moist, clod and weed free soil. Any existing weeds should be cleared prior to the application of FLEXIDOR 125. FLEXIDOR 125 should be applied with an appropriate approved tank mix partner to enhance, widen and extend the period of broad-leaved weed control.

  

Treat apples, pears, plums, blackcurrants, gooseberries, blackberries, summer fruiting raspberries (England only) and strawberries in November to January.

  

Treat apples, pears, plums, cherries, blackcurrants, gooseberries, blackberries, summer fruiting raspberries, strawberries and hops between November and 1st April.
