A contact and residual herbicide for pre and post-crop emergence use against a range of annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds in winter and spring wheat, and winter barley.

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION

Good weed control depends on burying any trash or straw before or during seedbed preparation.
Seedbeds must have a firm, fine tilth. Loose or cloddy seed beds must be consolidated otherwise crop damage may result due to inadequate seed cover. For pre-emergence treatments, seed should be covered with a minimum of 32 mm of settled soil.
Apply via a horizontal boom sprayer. Apply in 200–400 L/ha as a MEDIUM spray (BCPC category). Use the higher volume where crop or weed foliage is dense. A spray pressure of at least 2 bars is advised. Good, even spray coverage of soil and weeds is essential. Ensure that spray swaths do not overlap. To prevent damage, care must be taken to avoid drift onto neighbouring crops.
Winter wheat (all varieties): Apply pre or post-emergence up to and including second tiller stage (GS 22).
Winter barley (all varieties): Apply pre or post-emergence up to and including third tiller stage (GS 23).
An application of up to 0.6 L/ha may be made at any time before 31 March in the year of harvest. A single application of 0.3 L/ha that is not part of a sequence may be made at any time up to and including GS 22 (winter wheat) or GS 23 (winter barley) of the crop.
Sequences on winter wheat and barley:
Where the total dose exceeds 0.6 L/ha, the first application of any sequence must be made before GS13 of the crop and a minimum of 6 weeks must elapse between treatments.
The second application of any sequence must not exceed 0.3 L/ha.
Where the total dose is between 0.3 - 0.6 L/ha and application is made after GS 12 of the crop, the latest time of application is 31st March.
Spring wheat (all varieties): A single application of 0.3 L/ha may be made pre or postemergence, up to and including third true leaf stage (GS 13).
Spring barley (all varieties): A single application of 0.3 L/ha may be made pre-emergence of the crop.

MIXING

Shake the container well before use. Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of Giddo. Wash out the container and add the washings to the spray solution, before topping up with clean water. Maintain continuous agitation of spray solution during mixing and loading and until spraying is complete. Do not leave the sprayer filled with the spray solution standing for long periods.
