DIRECTIONS FOR USE

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

Crops

LECTOR DELTA can be applied in the spring on all varieties of winter wheat, winter barley, rye, triticale and spring barley.

Notes

Weather conditions for application

Do not spray when crops are under stress from cold, drought, pest damage, nutrient deficiency etc.

Do not roll or harrow 7 days before or after application.

Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto non-crop plants outside of the target area.

Restrictions/Warnings

Crop failure

In the event of crop failure in the spring after an application of LECTOR DELTA, only the following crops may be planted following cultivation to 20 cm: Spring wheat, spring barley or spring oats.

Following crops

Crops that can be sown in the same year as a crop treated with LECTOR DELTA is harvested: Cereals, oilseed rape, field beans and vegetable brassicas as transplants.

(Vigour reductions may be seen in following crops of oilseed rape after a dry summer. This will be outgrown and will not result in yield loss).

Crops that can be sown in the calendar year following treatment with LECTOR DELTA:

Cereals, oilseed rape, field beans, grass, peas, sugar beet, potatoes, maize, and vegetable brassicas as transplants.

Take extreme care to avoid drift onto crops and non-target plants outside the target area.

Occasionally seedlings of brassica crops may exhibit slight discolouration of the cotyledons, which is normally outgrown without affecting subsequent growth. Where diflufenican containing products are applied to successive cereal crops, levels of diflufenican will build up in the soil. Even with ploughing to 150mm and thorough mixing of the soil, there may still be a risk of damage to following crops of onions, leeks, other allium crops and clover. As a precaution, users who rent out their land to growers of these crops should not use diflufenican containing products in successive years before renting out that land.’

Water Volume

Apply LECTOR DELTA in 150-300 l/ha of water.

Mixing and Application

Half fill the spray tank with clean water and add the required amount of LECTOR DELTA. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. When tank mixes are to be used, and unless directed otherwise, the preferred order of addition of products to the spray tank is as follows: water, dispersible granules, wettable powders, suspension concentrates, solution concentrate. Each product should be added separately to a half filled spray tank and fully dispersed before the addition of the next product. Apply LECTOR DELTA as a MEDIUM spray as defined by the BCPC system.

Joint Application

A joint application is the use of a product in tank mixture or sequence with another product.

IMPORTANT NOTE: joint applications should only be made within the label recommendations of every product in the application. Only one other product with an ALS inhibitor mode of action may be applied to a cereal crop treated with LECTOR DELTA. A further application of LECTOR DELTA or another product containing florasulam may be made providing the maximum total dose of florasulam is not exceeded. LECTOR DELTA may be applied in joint application to the same cereal crop with one of the following ALS products.

Autumn Application

Winter wheat, barley, triticale and rye

LECTOR DELTA should be applied once in the autumn when the crop has reached 2 leaves (GS 12) up to and including 2nd node detectable stage (GS 32 inclusive).

Rate of application

One application of up to 75 mls/ha will control all susceptible emerged weeds.

Weeds Controlled

LECTOR DELTA is most effective when applied to small, actively growing weeds. Larger weeds may be less susceptible. For optimum performance it is important to check the size of weeds before application.
