An agricultural herbicide.
Contains 69 g/l (6.9 % w/w) fenoxaprop-p-ethyl equivalent to 63.6 g/l fenoxaprop-p.
FOXTROT is a leaf-absorbed systemic herbicide for selective post-emergence control of grass weeds in Wheat and Barley.
 
General Information:
FOXTROT is a contact and systemic herbicide for control of annual grass weeds in Winter and Spring Wheat and Barley. FOXTROT will control Wild-oats, Awned Canary-grass and Rough-stalked Meadow-grass.
This product contains fenoxaprop-p-ethyl which is an ACCase inhibitor, also classified by the Herbicide Resistance Action Committee (HRAC)* as ‘Group A’.
Use only as part of a resistance management strategy that includes cultural methods of control and do not use ACCase inhibitors as the sole chemical means of grass weed control.
Applying a second product containing an ACCase inhibitor will increase the risk of resistance development. Only use a second ACCase inhibitor to control different weeds at different timings.

Cautions:
Do not apply FOXTROT to Durum Wheat, undersown crops or crops to be undersown.
Avoid treating crops suffering from stress due to drought, water-logging, pest and disease attack or micronutrient deficiency.
Avoid application immediately before or after a sudden or extended drop in temperature, or during periods of warm days and cold nights.
Do not apply to crops that are covered with ice as run-off may occur.
Application may be made in frosty weather provided the crop has hardened.
Do not roll or harrow less than 7 days before or after spraying.
Very dry conditions leading to drought stress may reduce the effectiveness of the product.
For control of Black-grass, use Foxtrot as part of an integrated control strategy. Do not use Foxtrot as the sole means of grass weed control in successive crops; use grass weed herbicides with different modes of action throughout the cropping rotation. Monitor weed control effectiveness and investigate any odd patches of poor grass weed control. If poor control cannot be explained, contact your agronomist who may consider a resistance test to be appropriate.
Foxtrot applied at 1.0 litre/ha to winter and spring barley can cause yellowing of the crop. These effects are transient and have been demonstrated not to adversely affect yield.
Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto non-crop plants outside of the target area.
Ensure that spray swaths do not overlap.
If Foxtrot is used as part of a programme with any other spray chemicals, an interval of at least 7 days must be elapse between applications.
In the event of crop failure, any broad-leaved crop may be sown, or after an interval of 3 weeks, any cereal may be sown. Following normal harvest of a treated crop, any broad-leaved or cereal crop may be sown
 
Soil Types And Weather Conditions:
FOXTROT can be applied to all soils including those containing high levels of organic matter. For best results, soil should be moist at and after application.
 
Crops Treated and Time of Application:
FOXTROT can be applied to Winter and Spring Barley from the ‘2 fully expanded
leaf’ stage to before ‘1st node detectable’ stage, and to Winter and Spring Wheat from emergence of the crop up to the ‘flag leaf ligule visible’ stage (ZGS39).
Broadcast crops should only be treated once they have a well established root system.
 
Rates of Application and Weeds Controlled:
The application rates of FOXTROT are determined by the species and size of the weed and the time of application. FOXTROT must not be applied to Winter or Spring Barley at more than 1.0 l/ha.
FOXTROT can contribute to the control of black-grass as part of a herbicide resistance management strategy, involving mixtures and sequences with herbicides of alternative modes of action.
 
Water Volume:
Apply in 200-300 l/ha of water using a conventional horizontal boom sprayer.
Use the higher water volume where the crop or weed is dense to ensure adequate cover.
 
Spray Quality:
Apply FOXTROT as a ‘Fine’ to ‘Medium’ spray (as defined by BCPC) and 2.5-3 bar pressure.
 
Mixing and Application:
Shake the container thoroughly before opening and use.
Half-fill the spray tank with clean water and begin agitation. Add the required quantity of FOXTROT to the water. Rinse the empty container thoroughly with water and add the rinsings to the tank. Complete the filling and apply without delay. Maintain agitation while travelling and throughout the spraying operation.
Wash out the sprayer thoroughly after use using a recognised tank cleaner.
