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.
GENERAL INFORMATION A soluble concentrate containing 600 g/L mecoprop-P (present at 706 g/L as the potassium salt) and 84 g/L dicamba (present at 98.4 g/L as the potassium salt). It is a selective herbicide for use on all varieties of winter and spring sown wheat, winter and spring sown barley and oats, and on amenity grassland. Resistance Management When herbicides with the same mode of action are used repeatedly over several years in the same field, selection of resistant biotypes can take place. These can propagate and may become dominating. A weed species is considered to be resistant to a herbicide if it survives a correctly applied treatment at the recommended dose. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. This should include integrating herbicides with a programme of cultural control measures. Guidelines have been produced by the Weed Resistance Action Group and copies are available from the HGCA, CPA, your distributor, crop adviser or product manufacturer

Note:
It is important to note that under some growing conditions the crop may be seen to be prostrated after spraying but recovery is rapid and the crop will grow away normally. SAXON acts slowly and 2-3 weeks may elapse before the full effect on weeds is observed.
