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.
Activity
Barclay Hurler is a translocated herbicide taken up by the leaves of weeds. It is essential that the target weeds have fully emerged before application and that good spray cover of the weed foliage is achieved. Weeds which emerge after application are not controlled.
Growing Conditions
Best results are achieved against small weeds growing actively under warm, moist conditions; these conditions are particularly important for the control of cleavers. Ensure that crops are vigorous with growth unaffected by frost, pests, disease, nutrient deficiency or moisture stress before treatment. Do not treat waterlogged crops or crops under drought stress.

Grassland
Newly sown and established grass leys and permanent pasture may be treated with Barclay Hurler for the control of annual and perennial broad-leaved weeds. Do not spray swards containing clovers or other legumes if these are important constituents of the sward.
Crop
Newly sown grass leys
Rate of Barclay Hurler
0.75 l/ha
Weeds Controlled and latest stage for control
Common chickweed (to 5cm)
Time of application
In early autumn when the grasses are firmly established and are tillering and the weeds are growing actively.
Crop
Established grassland
Rate of Barclay Hurler
2 l/ha in 300 - 400 l/ha water
For spot treatment use 30 ml product per 10 l water
Weeds Controlled and latest stage for control
Pre-flowering weeds of: Broad-leaved dock Common nettle (reduction of top-growth)
Time of application
Broad-leaved dock:
normally in spring at the rosette stage, but may be applied 14-21 days after cutting when the weed foliage has regrown. Repeat if necessary the following year.Common nettle: up to mid-June when actively growing.
Crop
Established grassland
Rate of Barclay Hurler
2 l/ha
Weeds Controlled and latest stage for control
Bramble, Broom
Time of application
Spray in June-August when actively growing but before plant begins to senesce in the Autumn. It is essential that, particularly with large bushes, all the foliage is thoroughly wetted or incomplete kill may result.
 
 
Weather and Growing Conditions
Optimum results with Barclay Hurler can only be achieved when weeds are actively growing under good soil and weather conditions and the crop is vigorously competitive. These conditions become especially important if cleavers are to be controlled, more so if Barclay Hurler is to be applied alone in cereals without the benefit of a product in tank-mixture giving complementary activity on cleavers. Do not apply Barclay Hurler during periods of cold nights or if frost is forecast.
 
Cultivations
Do not roll or harrow crops within seven days of treatment with Barclay Hurler.
 
Undersown Crops
Do not use Barclay Hurler on crops undersown with clovers or other legumes. Barclay Hurler may be used on crops undersown with grasses only provided that these are firmly established and are tillering.
 
Application (BCPC definitions)
Apply to dry foliage. Do not spray if rain is imminent. Avoid spray drift onto nearby crops or areas. Avoid overlapping spray swaths.
 
Do not use on crops grown for seed production
 
Cereals and forage maize: apply as a MEDIUM spray at 2-2.5 bar (30-35 psi) by conventional hydraulic ground-operated sprayer in 170-340 l/ha water to give good coverage of the target weeds; increase the spray volume to 300-400 l/ha water when treating volunteer potatoes. Use the higher spray volume for application in dense crops or when weeds are large or have become hardened. Apply to dry foliage.
 
Grassland: apply as a MEDIUM spray at 2-2.5 bar (30-35 psi) by conventional hydraulic ground-operated sprayer in 200-400 l/ha, using a minimum 300 l/ha on established grassland, to give good coverage of the target weeds. Use the higher spray volume for application in dense crops or when weeds are large. When overall spraying is not justified, small weed infested areas or individual weeds may conveniently be spot treated by knapsack sprayer or hand lance connected to a powered conventional hydraulic sprayer. Preferably use a flood jet to avoid spray drift. Spray to just wet the weed foliage evenly but before run-off occurs.
 
Compatiblity
Barclay Hurler is compatible in tank-mix with the following approved formulations. When tank-mixing Barclay Hurler with a partner, the Directions for Use of the partner product must be strictly observed, together with the Directions for Use of this label. Mix Barclay Hurler in the spray tank first except when mixing with wettable powders, suspension concentrates or water dispersible granules unless directed otherwise. Spray out immediately after mixing. Do not tank-mix with any herbicide when treating triticale.
Residues
Do not sow peas, beans, clovers or any other legume for 12 months on land treated with Barclay Hurler at 2 l/ha (28 fl.oz). All manure or crop residues derived from crops treated with Barclay Hurler at 2 l/ha (28 fl.oz/ac) must be returned to grassland or land to be cropped with cereals. All straw from crops treated at 2 l/ha must not be incorporated back into the soil.
 
Care of Sprayer
Directly after each days use with Barclay Hurler, wash out the sprayer thoroughly with clean water and a wetting agent recommended for the cleaning of sprayers. Traces of fluroxypyr left in the sprayer may damage susceptible crops when the equipment is subsequently used.
 
Mixing
Pour the required quantity of Barclay Hurler into the spray tank already half-filled with water and under agitation. Top up the spray tank with water to the required level. Maintain agitation during spraying and until the tank is sprayed out.
