GENERAL INFORMATION

FUSILADE FORTE containing fluazifop-p-butyl is a herbicide for control of wild oats, volunteer cereals and other grass weeds, post emergence in broad-leaved crops and other situations.
FUSILADE FORTE is rapidly absorbed through the leaves and moves upwards and downwards throughout the plant to the growing points. FUSILADE FORTE is effective against both annual and perennial grass weeds including Common Couch. Decay of the growing points in stems is visible after 7 days. Foliar kill is complete in 3-4 weeks when weeds are actively growing under warm conditions.
FUSILADE FORTE is independent of soil type as it acts through the foliage.

MIXING AND SPRAYING
Mixing
Ensure the sprayer is clean and in good working order. Calibrate according to sprayer.
Half fill the spray tank with CLEAN water and start agitation. Shake the container and add the correct amount of FUSILADE FORTE to the sprayer using a filling device (e.g. induction hopper) or by direct addition to the spray tank. Complete filling and agitate thoroughly. Continue agitation during spraying and stoppages.
Wash out container thoroughly. Preferably use an integrated pressure rinsing device or manually rinse three times. Add washings to the sprayer at the time of filling.
Dispose of rinsed containers safely according to DEFRA /HSE Code of Practice.

Water Volume
Even cover of the weeds is essential for good results.
80 - 200 litres per hectare may be used in open crops with light weed infestations.
200 - 500 litres per hectare should be used in dense crop or in dense weed situations.

APPLICATION METHODS
Even cover of the weeds is essential for good results. Apply through a conventional hydraulic sprayer using a pressure of 2-4 bars.
For spray volumes 80 to 200 litres per hectare apply as a FINE spray.
For spray volumes above 200 litres per hectare apply as a MEDIUM spray.
Ensure that the sprayer is properly cleaned and washed before use, spray contamination may damage crops.
Correctly calibrate sprayer before use. Do not leave spray liquid in the sprayer for long periods (i.e. during meals or overnight).
