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
The crop should not be rolled or harrowed within a period of at least seven days before or after spraying with MIRCAM PLUS.
DO NOT apply MIRCAM PLUS to crops suffering from herbicide damage or stress caused by pests, nutrition defects or weather.
After liming ensure lime is washed off the crop and weeds before spraying.
Care should be taken to avoid overlap of spray swaths.
MIRCAM PLUS is not recommended for use in Rye.
DO NOT apply during drought or if rain is expected within six hours of treatment.
DO NOT spray when cold or frosty conditions are prevalent.
DO NOT use first four mowings for mulching unless composted for six months.
DO NOT spray cereals which have been, or are to be, undersown with clovers or other legumes as these may be killed or severely checked.
Avoid drift onto all broadleaved plants outside the target area. To avoid spray drift do not spray in windy or very still conditions. Spray drift must be avoided especially near susceptible crops such as tomatoes, lettuce, oilseed rape, vegetables, turnips, swedes, sugar beet, peas, glasshouse crops, fruit and ornamentals, etc.
Extreme care must be taken to avoid spray drift onto plants outside of the target area.
 
WEEDS CONTROLLED
Weeds are most susceptible to MIRCAM PLUS when growing vigorously under warm, moist conditions. Results from spraying under cold or frosty conditions will not be as satisfactory.
 
CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Winter and spring wheat, barley and oats
Dose
5.0 l/ha.
Timing
For all cereals apply from five leaf stage (GS 15) until before first node detectable stage (GS 31). All varieties of wheat, barley and oats may be treated. Apply in 170–400 litres of water per hectare. For cereals if sharp or severe frost occurs within three–four weeks of application to wheat or barley damage may occur to the crop that will cause scorch or stunting, which may or may not lead to a reduction in yield.
 
Grass (seed crop)
Dose
5.0 l/ha.
Timing
Grass seed crops should be sprayed from four–six weeks before flower heads begin to emerge. Timothy should be sprayed six weeks before flower head emergence. Apply in 170–400 litres of water per hectare.
 
MIXING AND SPRAYING
This product is for use by professionally qualified spray operatives only. This is a legal requirement. There is also legislation regarding storage, protective clothing and disposal of empty containers. If not professionally qualified always use a qualified contractor to apply this product.
Half fill the spray tank with clean water and start the agitation. Pour in the required amount of MIRCAM PLUS. Add the remainder of the water and continue agitation until spraying is completed. USE IMMEDIATELY following dilution. DO NOT allow diluted product to stand before use. Apply as a medium quality spray (as defined by BCPC). A spray pressure of two–three bar is recommended.
 
Tank cleaning
WASH EQUIPMENT thoroughly immediately after use. Fill the tank with clean water and leave overnight. Spray out before storage or using other products. Traces of the product may cause damage to susceptible crops sprayed later.
 
COMPATIBILITY
When tank mixes are to be used, each product should be added separately to the spray tank, taking due note of any instructions given as to the order of mixing.
MIRCAM PLUS can be tank-mixed with other pesticides, please consult your Nufarm distributor or Nufarm UK Limited.
 
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.
