Menace 80EDF is a WDG formulation that contains the tried and tested active ingredient, propyzamide, for controlling resistant blackgrass and other grass and broad-leaved weeds in oilseed rape.  It still provides outstanding control with no reports of herbicide resistance anywhere in the world.

Menace 80EDF can be used in winter oilseed rape and winter field beans, and several other agricultural, horticultural, forestry and amenity situations.

 

Active Ingredient: 800 g/kg propyzamide

Pack Size: 2.0 kg

Formulation: Water dispersible granule

Maximum Individual Dose: 1.0 kg/ha

Maximum Total Dose: One per crop

Timing: From 1st October once the crop has 3 true leaves

Latest Timing: Before 1st February in the year of harvest

Water Volumes: 200 – 1000 L/ha

Spray Quality: MEDIUM or COARSE as defined by the BCPC

  

Use full rate of 1.0 kg/ha for difficult blackgrass situations

Can be applied at 0.6 kg/ha o r 0.9 kg/ha to suit weed size and spectrum (see table below)

Only use the 0.6 kg/ha rate when a specific graminicide has controlled volunteer cereals and chickweed is not a problem

Menace 80EDF is best applied when soil temperatures at 30 cm reach 10°C and are falling and where there is sufficient moisture in the soil surface layer for plsnt uptake

Do not make more than one applicationo/ Menace 80EDF within 9 months to the same a rea of land

Menace 880 EDF s hould not be us ed con soils containing >10% organic matter - Ta avoid run-of/, afrplisstions should be made to a firm clod-free seedbed.

Water Protection: Ensure at least 4 of the following are met before application.

 Field drains not running and not likely for 7 days or no field drains

 Field slope less than 5%

 Mot bordered by a watercourse or field has a 6m grass bsffer strip

 Mot sub-soi led below pi ough layer

Mot mole drained in the past 6 months

Mo risk of rain in the next 48 hours

 

Where populations of blackgrass and/or volunteer cereals exceed 50 per mb apply Menace 80EDF as part of a programme following or in tank mix with an effective approved gramini cide, e.g. Lasen at 1.0 L/h a

 

Controls all the main grassweeds including blackgrass, ryegrass, wild oats, brome, AMG and volunteer cereals

Control of key broad-leaved weeds including chickweed and speedwells

No known weed resistance - use Menace 80EDF to help clean up key weeds across the rotation

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.

 

Take care to avoid local overdosing.

Do not make more than one application of MENACE 80EDF within 9 months to the same area of land.

 

MENACE 80EDF can be used on all soil types with the following exceptions:

1.  Do not use on soils containing more than 10% organic matter.

2.  Do not use on strawberries or winter field beans grown in certain soil types. See RECOMMENDATIONS.

Very Light Soils                      Loamy sand, Loamy fine sand, Coarse sandy loam

Light Soils                             Sandy loam, Fine sandy loam, Sandy silt loam, Silt loam (85)

Medium Soils                         Sandy clay loam, Clay loam, Silty clay loam

Heavy Soils                            Sandy clay, Clay, Silty clay

 

MENACE 80EDF requires moisture for root uptake. Best residual action is obtained in moist soils of fine tilth.

MENACE 80EDF can be applied under frosty conditions but should not be used where run-off from the soil surface is likely.

Best results are achieved when growth of weeds (especially blackgrass and volunteer cereals) is slow, but transpiration continues. In mild autumns/winters, emerged weeds may take longer to be controlled, the residual activity of MENACE 80EDF will be shortened and overall control may be reduced.

The efficacy of MENACE 80EDF may be reduced in organic soils and in the presence of excessive surface organic debris, burnt straw, ash, or ploughed-up turf. In winter field beans ensure a firm seedbed before spraying.

 

Strains of some annual grasses (e.g. blackgrass, wild oats, Italian ryegrass) have developed resistance to herbicides which may lead to poor control. A strategy for preventing and managing such resistance should be adopted. 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: Specific application information for each crop is contained in the Crop Recommendation Tables that follow.

Add half the required volume of water to the spray tank and begin agitation. Remove the filter basket and pour the required amount of MENACE 80 EDF into the partially filled spray tank. Agitate while topping up the tank and continue agitation until spraying is complete. When tank mixing with other products add the MENACE 80EDF after the other product has already dispersed in the spray tank.

Thoroughly wash all spraying and measuring equipment with water immediately after use.
