DIRECTIONS FOR USE
IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within this section must be read carefully in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

Restrictions

• HARMONY M SX must not be applied to any crop suffering from stress as a result of drought, waterlogging, low temperatures, pest or disease attack, nutrient or lime deficiency or other factors reducing crop growth.
• Do not use HARMONY M SX on cereal crops undersown with grasses, clover or other legumes or any other broad-leaved crop.
• Due to the high level of activity of the herbicide, special care must be taken to avoid damage by drift onto broad-leaved plants outside the target area, or onto ponds, waterways or ditches. Thorough cleansing of equipment is also very important - see below.
• Do not apply within 7 days of rolling the crop.
• Contract agents should be consulted before using on crops grown for seed.
• Refer to ‘Compatibility’ for details on use of HARMONY M SX with other ‘ALS inhibiting’ herbicides.

Soil
HARMONY M SX can be used on all soil types. Weed control may be reduced when conditions are very dry.

Volume and application
BEFORE USING HARMONY M SX, SPRAYING EQUIPMENT MUST BE CLEAN AND FREE FROM CONTAMINATION WITH OTHER PESTICIDES. Application should be made in 200 litres of water per hectare using suitable ground equipment to give good spray cover of the weeds. In thick crops or dense weeds use higher volumes of water (up to 400 litres of water/ha) to ensure good spray cover of the weeds. Use a conventional field crop sprayer at a pressure of 2 - 3 bars and apply as a MEDIUM spray (as defined by BCPC). Care should be taken not to overlap spray swaths.

Mixing
Quarter fill the spray tank with clean water, start the agitation and add the required quantity of HARMONY M SX directly to the tank without prior creaming. Continue agitation while topping up the tank and while spraying.

Crops
HARMONY M SX can be used on all varieties of wheat (except Durum wheat) and spring barley between the growth stages given below.

Dose
Winter wheat - apply HARMONY M SX at 125 g/ha.
Spring wheat and barley - apply HARMONY M SX at 100 g/ha.

Timing
HARMONY M SX must only be applied in the spring after 1 February from the three-leaf stage up to and including the flag-leaf fully emerged stage of crop growth.

Following crops
Only cereals, oilseed rape, field beans or grass may be sown in the same calendar year as harvest of a cereal crop treated with HARMONY M SX. In case of crop failure for any
reason, sow only winter wheat within three months of application of HARMONY M SX. Before sowing, soil should be ploughed and cultivated to a depth of at least 15-cm.
